Batman Beyond (TV Series)

Spellbound (1999)

Jon Cypher: Dr. Ira Billings, Spellbinder

Quotes 

• Batman : [confronting Spellbinder outside Wayne Manor]  It's over, Billings. I know who you are.

  Spellbinder : I'm glad that makes you feel superior.

• Spellbinder : For years, I fought the demons in the heads of those ungrateful little snots! While their coddling parents paid their garbagemen more than me! Now I'm taking what I've earned!

• Chelsea : What is that?

  Spellbinder : An adventure.

• Barbara Gordon : We wouldn't even look into this "mysterious man" story, but the girl's father has influence and he asked that we check it out. I wanted your opinion first.

  Dr. Ira Billings : To be frank, this is Chelsea's pattern. She commits these destructive acts for attention and then claims they weren't her fault. Unfortunately, by humoring her stories, her father encourages her behavior.

  Barbara Gordon : In other words, she made the whole thing up.

  Dr. Ira Billings : That would be my opinion. I'm sorry you wasted your time.

• Batman : I don't get you, Doctor. You're supposed to be helping kids. How could you take advantage of them?

  Spellbinder : Ahh, you wanna be my therapist, is that it? Then here. Get to know me.

• Terry McGinnis : You wanted to see me?

  Dr. Ira Billings : Mr. McGinnis, come in. No big deal. I know the past few months have been rough, with your father passing and you moving back in with your mom. I wanted to see how you were doing.

  Terry McGinnis : Uh-huh. I'm fine. That it?

  Dr. Ira Billings : I don't bite, Terry. Have a seat.

  [Terry reluctantly enters the office] 

  Dr. Ira Billings : I hear you're working part-time for an actual billionaire. That must be exciting. Tell me all about it.
