You pointed out how you made an impact on the Riddler, but not the impact you were hoping for.

Well, we're the impact you wanted. I'm the one that B offered a hand up to in my darkest moments. J's the one he saw the most of himself in, wanting to make things easier for him than he'd had. Tim's the one who watched from the sidelines, offering his own hand when B was the furthest down.

Cass was raised as a weapon, but B told her she was more. Helped to show her she was more. He's doing the same with Damian, that he's not just the product of what his mother taught him.

Steph and Babs became part of the family because they felt the impact that you wanted. That somebody could make a difference to the world around them. And more people in Gotham have felt it, too, even if they've never put on a mask. It's slow. But that impact was always going to happen. You can't talk about offering hope and not see it grow.
