- Robin: [to Aqualad] We picked the right guy to lead. Automatically making you the right guy to explain this mess to Batman.
- [laughs]
- Kid Flash: Hey, Supey, not too late to put on the new stealth tech.
- Superboy: No capes, no tights. No offense.
- Miss Martian: It totally works for you. In that you can totally do good work in those clothes.
- Superboy: Did you hear that?
- Kid Flash: Uh, no... Wait! Is this a superhearing thing?
- Miss Martian: You do have great ears.
- Kid Flash: Okay, Rob, now what?
- [Realizes Robin has disappeared]
- Kid Flash: Man, I hate it when he does that!
- Aqualad: You do have the most experience. But perhaps that is exactly what has left you unprepared. Fighting aloneside Batman, your roles are clearly defined. You two do not need to talk. But this team is new. And a leader needs to be clear, explicit. He cannot vanish and expect others to play part in an unknown plan.
- Robin: Oh, so I'm supposed to hold everyone's hand?
- [groans]
- Robin: Who am I kidding? You should lead us, Kaldur. You're the only one who can.
- Batman: A simple recon mission. Observe and report! You'll each receive written evaluations detailing your *many* mistakes... Until then - good job... No battle plan survives first contact with the enemy. How you adjust to the unforseen is what determines success. And how you choose who leads determines character.
