Batman: The Brave and the Bold (TV Series)

The Eyes of Despero! (2009)

James Arnold Taylor: Guy Gardner, Wotan

Quotes 

• Wotan : The Library of Infinity, containing all the knowledge of human experience, the history of the entire cosmos. And now, it shall all be mine.

  [two statues block his way] 

  Wotan : [destroying them]  Not even the protectors can stand against the sorcery of Wotan!

  Dr. Fate : Sorry, but your library card's expired.

  Wotan : Dr. Fate. And I see you've brought a friend. How unfortunate for both of you.

• Guy Gardner : You can't do this. You're one of us.

  Sinestro : I was never one of you. I have always stood alone above the rabble. Are you that desperate to prove what a great hero you are?

  Guy Gardner : It ain't about me. It's about Mogo. And G'nort. And Earth!

• Wotan : Without your helmet, Fate, you are defenseless.

  [as he laughs, Fate punches him in the face, then bests him in hand-to-hand combat] 

  Dr. Fate : I'd call those boxing lessons I got from Bats a pretty good defense.

  Batman : Told you, it's not the helmet. It's the man.

  Dr. Fate : Maybe. But I prefer helmets to haymakers any day.

• Guy Gardner : Now, look, Bats, you can hatch all the plans you want, but from here on in, Guy Gardner's workin' alone.

  Batman : You so much as sneeze without my permission, you're going to regret it.

  Guy Gardner : That I'd like to see...

  [Batman punches him hard in the face] 

  G'nort : [snickering]  One punch! One punch!

  Batman : Get him on his feet.

  [Sinestro conjures a hand, which he uses to slap Guy awake] 

  Guy Gardner : Just for the record, I let you do that.

• Guy Gardner : What are you doing here? You're supposed to be protecting the Earth.

  Sinestro : That's exactly what I'm doing. I have no intention of allowing Despero to take control of the universe. And I refuse to leave its fate in the hands of incompetent fools like you and G'nort. That's why I'm gonna blow Mogo to bits.

  Guy Gardner : Mogo? He's a living being, a Green Lantern. Well, what about G'nort? If Mogo blows, then that dumb mutt's finished, too.

  Sinestro : Extraordinary. The troglodyte actually has feelings.

  Guy Gardner : Hey, look, Sin, I get it. Desperate times, desperate measures. But all we gotta do to take down Despero is let G'nort do his job.

  Sinestro : [conjuring a giant fist, with which he punches Guy]  Why does that not fill me with confidence?

• Guy Gardner : Well, thanks for stopping by, Bats.

  Batman : I'm coming along. And I get the feeling I'm gonna need more than a batarang against this guy.

  [Batman brings out a Power Ring] 

  Guy Gardner : Hey! No way I'm letting you wear that ring!

  Sinestro : I'm afraid one who's not of the Corp cannot wear the power ring. But that doesn't we can't use our rings to augment you.

  [Sinestro, Guy and G'nort use their Power Rings on Batman and he's fitted with a power suit] 

  Batman : Cool.

• Batman : Okay, Guy, you and G'nort take the left flank. Sinestro and I will take...

  Guy Gardner : Eat my toe nail clippings.

  G'nort : Don't worry, Mr. Batman, sir. I'll take the left flank. Um, uh, which way's the left?

• Guy Gardner : [listening to G'nort howling]  Ah, shut your furry yap, will ya?

  G'nort : Hey, but I'm singing.

  Guy Gardner : Well, knock it off before I rip your tonsils right out of your throat!

  Batman : [thinking]  I'd know that obnoxious voice anywhere.

• Guy Gardner : If it wasn't for me, Earth would've been kaput. Heck, the whole universe would've been toast.

  Batman : Gardner!

  [offering a handshake] 

  Batman : Good job, Guy.

  Guy Gardner : Yeah. Yeah, you, too.

  Batman : So, what did you end up doing with Sinestro?

  Guy Gardner : [indicating his power ring]  Ah, don't worry about him. He's in a safe place. Hate to say it, but you made a pretty good Lantern out there.

  Batman : Thanks. But if there's one Lantern here who deserves the credit, it's G'nort.

  G'nort : [cheers]  Wha...?

  [happily, he jumps into Batman's arms and licks his face] 

  Batman : G'nort, I told you, no licking.

• Batman : Guy Gardner.

  Guy Gardner : What are you doing here?

  Batman : Apparently, rescuing you.

  Guy Gardner : We don't need no rescuing. I could've got us out anytime. And besides...

  [seeing the power ring hovering by Batman's head] 

  Guy Gardner : Hey, that ring.

  [snatching at it] 

  Guy Gardner : Give it over.

  Batman : Easy, Guy.

  Guy Gardner : That's GL Corps property, and you ain't GL Corps.

• Batman : And you are?

  G'nort : G'nort Esplanade G'neesmacher, Green Lantern of space sector X minus 5267.-2.

  [hitting himself in the face trying to salute] 

  G'nort : Ow!

  Guy Gardner : Eh, go ahead. Tell him why you're in the brig.

  G'nort : Well, I came down to bring 'em lunch, and I'd locked myself in.

  Batman : Whatever the reasons you're all behind bars, it saved you from the fate that befell the others.

• Guy Gardner : [beating Sinestro]  You didn't think I was above fightin' dirty, did ya?

• Sinestro : Your power suit will respond to your will, much as our rings do.

  Batman : Nice. Now let's get moving. We need to make double time.

  Guy Gardner : Wait a minute. Who died and left you in charge?

  Batman : I put myself in charge. Got a problem with that?

  Guy Gardner : Yeah, I do.

  Sinestro : Your poor attitude annoys me.

  Guy Gardner : Oh, you want a piece of me, too?

  Batman : The freedom of the entire universe is on the line. And our first duty is to the innocent people we've sworn to protect and serve.
