When I was little, I used to think, of the three, Ollie was the toughest. I was wrong. 
Beneath the bluster of the Green Arrow, Oliver Queen was a man with time on his hands. And I've spent my life trying to be that same kind of man.
It's not every day you watch a father figure you've thought was dead get fried by a demon... only to be told by a ghost that he's not really dead, but just hanging around Heaven, talking to an old friend -- who's also now not really dead, apparently.
I'm sharing a very small piece of the pain I've just gone through these past few days. The kind of pain thousands of kids are going through every day because an uncaring and unthinking society turns its back on them. Drugs are a symptom... and you... like the rest of society... attack the symptom... not the disease! But this symptom is worse than most -- it maims... it pains... it dims you. It drives you to the edge of insanity and over... and one day ends your trip on a slab in the morgue... with a tag around your toe.

You idiots are dressing so much better now -- I mean except Jinx. You look like a 16th century Middle Eastern hooker.
We all fight for different things. But we all still fight. I'm coming Lian. Everything we need -- it's all within us.
Pretty Bird.
They know what happens if Amazo shrinks like The Atom and comes at their foreheads with the speed of Wally and the strength of Clark.
You don't want to lead a family. Fine, screw it -- this is work. No one says you have to be emotionally connected. Hell, you think the JLA has sunday potluck dinner? Maybe that's always been our greatest fault. We never built a team, Dick. We created a family.
I'm scared. For the first time in a very long time... I'm scared. I hear gunshots in my sleep. I can't... I can't be thinking about... the risks. I can't be thinking about leaving Lian all alone. I can't be.... thinking about... dying. I don't think I should be out there in the field. I'm going to get someone hurt.
I hope you don't think I'm going to pull my punches because you're a woman. I make different allowances for psychotic metahuman bald chicks.
One of you is working against us. And no one is leaving until I find out who.
Stand down or I'm going to shoot you. This will fire a charge with a radioactive burst. Even the most impervious of you will feel it. And feel it bad. Except Starfire, who I'd have to shoot twice.
It's like a Teen Titans reunion! Who brought the chips, dip and spiked punch?
I'm a pro at waking up in weird places, but this?
Aren't you sick of being second-string? Titans began because we were all sidekicks. Just us kids trying to make a difference in our own right. We're not kids anymore. And the J.S.A. and the Justice League can't handle everything. With this, we can pull our weight.
You take another step towards me and your hooded friend gets seriously shafted. Get it?
Nightwing, chill. Team morale demands that you relax and enjoy yourself.
I'm gonna enjoy murdering that one-eyed freak.
Oh, sweet Jesus. That's why I couldn't get a handle on this. Deathstroke's got me hooked on something even worse than heroin. Stupid junkie...You knew something was different this time, didn't you, Roy? But you ignored it, because it felt so damn good.
What stands in your way is that you have a much too willful will. You think that what you do not do yourself does not happen.
- Been waiting my whole life for a reason to shout "Yaarrgh!"
