- Batman: We'll enlist the crimefighter's best ally: the element of surprise.
- Booster Gold: [banging his head] Ouch! Sorry.
- Batman: Bending legitimate scientific equipment to your evil will. You fiend.
- Kru'll: Batman!
- Booster Gold: And Booster Gold. Hero from the 25th century.
- Batman: [ignoring him] That meteorite belongs to the public
- Kru'll: The rock is mine. I found it 10,000 years ago and I won't part with it again.
- Batman: You're that guy who uses his knowledge of the future to fight crime and make a quick buck. I'd never team up with someone in this for the glory.
- Booster Gold: In this for the glory? That hurts. Just a sec.
- [approaching Punch and Jewelee in a squad car]
- Booster Gold: Hi. Great look. The media loves that whole jester theme, and I've been thinking an archenemy would really raise my profile.
- [sticking a business card into Punch's suit]
- Booster Gold: When you get out, let's talk.
- Wildcat: You need my help for this 90-pound weakling? What's the matter, Bats? Afraid he's gonna take your milk money?
- [laughing]
- Wildcat: You don't need me. You need a fly swatter.
- Batman: There's more to Bane than meets the eye.
- Wildcat: I don't know whether to punch him or feed him a protein shake.
- Batman: Wildcat.
- Wildcat: [behind him, Bane grows in size] I've got liver spots bigger than this punk.
- Batman: Wildcat!
- Wildcat: [seeing him] Aw, nuts.
- Booster Gold: What kind of crime we busting tonight, partner?
- Batman: Trespassing. How did you track me here?
- Booster Gold: In the 25th century, the Batcave's a historical attraction. With a rollercoaster. In 400 years or so, I'm gonna hurk right up... there.
- Batman: Sorry, Punch and Jewlee, but you'll find there won't be much to laugh about behind prison bars.
- Booster Gold: Nice takedown, buddy. Bet that'll get us a front-page mention.
- Batman: Who are you?
- Booster Gold: Your new partner. Here's the pitch. The brave and the gold featuring Booster and Bats. The ultimate team-up. What do you think?
- [Batman walks away silently]
- Booster Gold: Yeah, I love it, too.
- Kru'll: Just like the Aztec warriors, there is no quit in you. But they too eventually fell before me.
- Booster Gold: The guillotine. Retro. I dig it. But, dude, we shouldn't be enemies. We should be partners. You want an empire? I can help you build it. Radio, print, TV, and the Internet. Toy line, hello?
- Batman: Do you ever stop?
- Booster Gold: And we'll split it 50/50.
- [Kru'll begins to lower the guillotine blade]
- Booster Gold: Whoa, whoa, whoa. 60/40.
- Kru'll: If you are the quality of hero the future has to offer, then I shall have no problem keeping the world under my boot heel.
- [as Batman picks the lock of his restraint, Booster uses his mini-Boostermobile to jam the guillotine blade]
- Booster Gold: Ha! I knew the Boostermobile was good for something.
- [Batman pulls him out, and they turn to face Kru'll's warriors]
- Booster Gold: You broke my buddy. I'm gonna break you.
- Booster Gold: [in the 25th century, he bumps into Kru'll while working as a security guard] Excuse me.
- Kru'll: Wait. You remind me of somebody I met years and years ago.
- Booster Gold: Just a sec.
- [putting his fingers to his ear]
- Booster Gold: Second floor's almost clear. Yeah? Tell me that when I'm famous.
- Kru'll: [recognizing him] You!
- Batman: I'm glad we could work together, Booster.
- Booster Gold: Wow.
- Batman: My thoughts exactly. And there's a lesson to be learned. You were a hero because you ignored the glory and remembered what mattered most was...
- Booster Gold: Just a sec.
- [putting his fingers to his ear]
- Booster Gold: Manny, call the toy company. I teamed up with Batman and guess what. We won! I know, huh? News crews? What do you mean there has to be a camera? Stupid 21st century media.
- Booster Gold: As you can see, the Booster Gold brand is highly marketable, and for the right price, I'd be willing to work with you guys on an action figure toy line.
- Trung: You're really a hero from the future?
- Booster Gold: That's a fact.
- [in a flash-forward, he's shown working as a museum security guard, sleeping on the job]
- Booster Gold: I created this flight suit and a time-travel device to come here.
- [in another flash-forward, he's shown stealing the suit from a display case]
- Trung: [unimpressed] I'm sorry. We just can't sell a toy line around you, um, uh...
- Booster Gold: Booster. And have I mentioned my trusty robot sidekick here, Skeets, can transform into a giant insect? No, no, no, wait. A dinosaur.
- Trung: You don't need a sidekick. You need name recognition. Maybe if you teamed up with an A-list hero, someone like Batman...
- Booster Gold: [putting his fingers to his ear] Just a sec. Hey, big blue! How's the cape hanging? What? No, I'm in a meeting. How about you try to handle this one on your own?
- [seeing them all looking at him]
- Booster Gold: Not buying it, huh?
- [as they leave, he shows them a toy car]
- Booster Gold: Wait, you haven't even seen the Boostermobile. Gold! Like Booster Gold. Ha, ha. Get it?
- [getting literally kicked out of the building]
- Booster Gold: Ahh! Oof. Skeets, old buddy, you know what I gotta do?
- Skeets: I know what you should do, sir.
- Booster Gold: I gotta team up with Batman.
- Skeets: Or that.
- Booster Gold: What's this?
- Batman: [with a heavy sigh] I've been tracking missing quantities of leutonium and a recent scientific discovery that's gone missing.
- Skeets: Ah, the stolen Greenland meteorite.
- Batman: Looks like a certain immortal caveman has risen again to conquer the world.
- Skeets: You know, sir, that immortal caveman.
- Batman: [Booster stares blankly] Kru'll the Eternal?
- Booster Gold: Oh, yeah. The immortal caveman guy.
- Batman: [trying to contain his annoyance] You should go.
- Booster Gold: Wait, I know him. Kru'll's still around in the future. I've even clashed with him once or twice.
- [in a flash-forward to his security guard job, he bumps into Kru'll in passing]
- Booster Gold: [pleading] Please, you gotta let me in on this.
- Batman: Not unless you have a way to track leutonic energy in all that 25th-century gear.
- Skeets: I run on a leutonium power cell, sir, and can scan for other sources.
- Batman: Okay. But you are not going to turn this into a marketing opportunity.
- Booster Gold: [putting his fingers to his ear] Just a sec. Manny, my man. Line up a book deal and a movie, and we'll spin off the toy line from there. I'm in with Bats!
- [Batman scowls]
- Kru'll: Once I find the leutonic energy I need, I will be unstoppable.
- Batman: You're out of luck, Kru'll.
- Booster Gold: [leaping into action] It's hero time, Skeets. Make sure you get a photo.
- Kru'll: A supercollider is one aspect of particle physics that even a caveman can enjoy: smashing things against a wall. Before I kill you, Booster Gold, man of the future, tell me, does the world prosper under my rule?
- Booster Gold: Huh?
- Skeets: [Kru'll scoffs] Way to keep the supervillain talking, sir.
- Kru'll: You broke the magnetic field? The power you'd need is unthinkable.
- Booster Gold: Ha. Skeets runs on a genuine 25th-century leutonium battery. Nothing like it in this time.
- Kru'll: No, there isn't.
- [as he blasts a pipe, the steam gives him cover to escape]
- Booster Gold: He took Skeets.
- Batman: And the meteorite.
- Booster Gold: We gotta save him, Bats. Skeets is my best bud, my wingman. The only one I've ever been able to count on.
- Batman: Right now, he's counting on you, Booster.
- Booster Gold: We all know I'm not much of a hero.
- Batman: Maybe you've just never had anything worth fighting for until now.
- Kru'll: Soon, my loyal servants, you will be my eternity warriors. Immortal as I am and just as powerful.
- Skeets: Sir, I feel compelled to warn you that Booster Gold will be here any moment to foil your villainous plot.
- Kru'll: I'm afraid nothing can stop this final evolution of a simple caveman. One that began all those generations ago when a magic rock fell from the sky. It bathed me in mysterious rays. A simple Cro-Magnon becomes a super-warrior. Time passed. Modern man wiped out my kind, but not me. I would not die. I was Kru'll the Eternal. Yet, I outlive whatever I conquer. My people always die out, leaving me alone. Or they did, until scientists rediscovered my magic rock in Greenland. I vowed to create a race of superhumans to fight by my side.
- Skeets: But to do that, the meteorite requires a massive jolt of leutonic energy.
- Kru'll: Yes, and once we combine these treasures from future and past, Kru'll the Eternal will rule all.
- Skeets: I knew you would save me, sir.
- Booster Gold: I don't know what I'd do without you. 'Cause, you know, I need to make some calls and this ear bud's got, like, zero bars.
- Skeets: I'm on it, sir.
