You worry about it every night. That you've left each of us more broken than you found us. That your mission was a corrosive poison on every person you've ever touched. And you'll die still afraid. I know, because you told me on your death bed.
This cowl... this cape... this symbol... It wasn't something I burned for...lived for...saw first-hand what it meant to be the Bat...the shadow it cast over Bruce...the darkness...promised myself it was a legacy I could turn away from when the time came...and emerge from the rising sun not as a bat...but as a Savior.

That he would be a killer? And still...in the end, it did nothing to stop me from becoming what I was destined to become.
If there was something I could do... something that would free me from ever having to become Batman... something terrible. Really terrible. Should I do it?
Hold on tight, Tim. As tight as you can to every moment. Because this will be over so much sooner than you can imagine.
This cowl... this cape... this symbol...
