""As I see it, your parents were show business people, Master Richard. Those are your roots. Try to think of your Batman not as a memorial -- you and I know he'd hate that -- but as a performance. Think of Batman as a great role, like a Hamlet, or Willie Loman … or even James Bond. And play it to your strengths. Master Damian will undoubtedly be racing towards trouble as we speak.

More than a teammate. More than a lover. From the very beginning, he was my connection to this planet. - Starfire (Titans Vol 2 21, 2010; by J.T. Krul)"

""This kid's brain is as fast as his hands. He's a natural learned faster than I did. The kis almost scared me, last time we trained. It was the last lame ass spinning kick of his... I thought I could teach him to make it less embarrassing. And Dick shows up already miles past me with a flying triple kick I never imagined. Me. I never imagined it. Me. "Almost scared," Hell. He scared the crap out of me. He might just be a genius. A genius or something worst" - Batman (All Star Batman & Robin, the Boy Wonder #9, 2008, by Frank Miller)"

"Alfred: But of course he's had optimism! He has had you. (Nightwing #99, 2004; by Devin Grayson)"
"Dick: Alfred, what are you talking about? Bruce hasn't had any innate inner optimism this whole time, and he'll outlast every one of us!"
"Alfred: Ever since you were a child, I have seen in you such luminosity of spirit... It was truly almost visible -- some indefinable and yet unmistakable fire at the very core of your being that allowed you to survive and thrive where so many others... [long pause] But now that very spark seems to have vanished from you, Master Dick, as if it had never lit your heart. I do not know why and I do not know how to help you. But I fear that without it, this life you and Master Bruce lead could well prove... [whisper] unsurvivable."

""I'm playing 'chicken' with a kid called 'Robin.' I don't know why he's showing off. I don't know why I'm going along with it. I don't even know where we're going. It could be a robbery.

And I do." - Batgirl (Barbara Gordon) (Batgirl: Year One #08 2003; by Scott Beatty and Chuck Dixon)."

Now, I see in Dick the chance to help him cope with his own loss … and guide him into being a better man for it." - Batman (Batman: Dark Victory #13, 2000; Jeph Loeb)."
""In accessing the risk involved for Batman in acclimating new recruits to his team, we would be remiss not to examine the circumstances and consequences surrounding the first addition to the Dark Knight's campaign. Though to call Dick Grayson a 'recruit' is misleading. As well as I profess to know the Batman, even I can't be sure what he was thinking when he agreed to assume legal custody for the orphaned boy who would be the first Robin. I can tell you about this boy. He was fearless. He was effusive. And he was full of grace. So maybe it was just greed that made Batman take him? Maybe it was sympathy for his situation? Recognition? Maybe no good general would turn down the opportunity to implement a gifted soldier. Or maybe the Dark Knight knew, somewhere in the back of his head, that he couldn't face the entirety of his mission alone." (Batman: Gotham Knights #10, 2000; by Devin Grayson)"
""[At his parents' graves] I've brought a young man -- a boy, actually -- to stay at the house. He's … lost his parents at roughly the same age that I … That I lost you. I don't know what will happen. I don't see myself as any sort of father figure. But … I think I can make a difference in his life." - Bruce Wayne (Batman: Dark Victory #9, 2000; Jeph Loeb)."
