Gotham Police Declare War on Batman? |
| Alfred Pennyworth |
|
I gather you've been reading How to Make Friends and Influence People. |
| Batman |
|
Somebody's setting me up. |
| Alfred Pennyworth |
|
My heavens! You mean it wasn't you tossing guards out of windows last night? |
| Batman |
|
I only toss butlers, Alfred. |
| Harvey Bullock |
|
I want my own tactical squad for the sole purpose of throwing the net over this "Batman". |
| James Gordon |
|
I've already denied the request. Nobody is taking a vigilante force onto my streets. |
| Harvey Bullock |
|
Your Honor, any nutcase that dresses up like a bat sooner or later is gonna snap. |
| James Gordon |
|
Listen, it's just not Batman's M.O. |
| Harvey Bullock |
|
Oh yeah?! Tell that to the guy he just tossed through the window! |
| Mr. Freeze |
|
Tonight, I mean to pay back the man who ruined my life... our lives. |
| Batman |
|
Even if you have to kill everyone in the building to do it? |
| Mr. Freeze |
|
Think of it, Batman. To never again walk on a summer's day with the hot wind in your face and a warm hand to hold. Oh yes, I'd kill for that! |
| Batman |
|
[Batman watches the tape of Ferris Boyle wounding Victor Fries] My God! |
| Mr. Freeze |
|
Yes. It would move me to tears... If I still had tears to shed. |
| Mr. Freeze |
|
The snow is beautiful, don't you think? Clean, uncompromising... |
| Batman |
|
And cold. |
| Mr. Freeze |
|
Like the swift hand of vengeance. |
| Mayor Hill | Oh! Good morning, um... | |
| Fugate | Fugate. Temple Fugate. I should think you remember the name by now, councillor. We've only been taking the same train every day for one year, seven months and thirteen days. | |
| Mayor Hill | Oh, right! The efficiency expert. |
| Rupert Thorne |
|
All men have something to hide. The brighter the picture, the darker the negative. |
| Mad Hatter |
|
I'll cut that cowl from your neck before you take her! I've waited my whole lonely life for her! |
| Batman |
|
Then all you've waited for is a puppet. A soulless little doll. |
| Mad Hatter |
|
It didn't have to be this way! You made me do this to her! |
| Batman |
|
WHY? Why did you do it?! |
| Mad Hatter |
|
You, of all people, have the gall to ask me that? You ruined my life! I was willing to give you whatever life you wanted, just to keep you out of mine! |
| Batman |
|
I don't pass sentence. That's for the courts to decide. But this time -- this time -- I am sorely tempted to do the job myself! |
| Hugo Strange |
|
Joker, please! I was set up! Bruce Wayne is Batman! |
| Two-Face |
|
That's absurd! I know Bruce Wayne. If he's Batman, I'm the King of England! |
| Batman |
|
Sometimes, old friend, I wonder if I'm really doing any good out there. |
| Alfred Pennyworth |
|
How can you doubt it? The lives you've saved, the criminals you've brought to justice- |
| Batman |
|
I've put out a few fires, yes. But the war goes on, Alfred. On and on... |
| Batman |
|
Reports of a huge bat creature the size of a man. Remind you of anybody? |
| Alfred Pennyworth |
|
Present company excluded? |
| Ra's al Ghul |
|
So even in defeat, the detective manages to achieve some small measure of victory. As you said, detective: this is not over. |
| Batman |
|
You may control this world, Nygma, but I still control myself. |
| Riddler |
|
The name is Riddler! Edward Nygma no longer exists! You may remember that he was fired by an ungrateful employer. That was a private matter and should have remained one! |
| Batman |
|
Attempted homicide is never a private matter, Nygma. |
| Riddler |
|
But it would've been if you hadn't interfered and made Nygma a criminal! So I deleted Nygma! Just like I'm going to delete you, Batman! |
| Zatanna |
|
What do you care about some leggy dame in nylons- or have I just answered my own question? |
| Batman |
|
If you protect him, Stromwell, I'll be very...grumpy. You don't want to see me when I'm grumpy. |
| The Penguin |
|
I suppose it's true what they say. Society is to blame. High society. |
| Batman |
|
Wherever you go, I'll be right behind you. |
| The Penguin |
|
Precisely where you belong. |
| Ra's al Ghul |
|
As Napoleon told me, "A strong will can fuel a frail physique." |
| Ra's al Ghul |
|
The material of the Pit is an unknown chemical stew that bubbles to the Earth's surface only in certain key places. Even now, my people are placing bombs, such as that one, over the various Lazarus Pits around the world. These bombs are electronically linked to a private satellite already in Earth orbit. |
| Batman |
|
Orpheus. |
| Ra's al Ghul |
|
Ra's al Ghul: Precisely. And at the moment when sun and moon are in proper alignment to cause the greatest upheaval in Earth's geomagnetic field, I shall send a signal to that satellite, beginning a countdown. Five minutes thereafter, one bomb will be lowered deep into the heart of each Pit. The satellite will in turn relay a microwave signal that will detonate all the bombs simultaneously. The multiple explosions will result in a global chain reaction. All the Lazarus Pits throughout the world will overflow. The globe will be saturated with their chemical solution, and when the resultant cataclysm has abated, there will come a blessed peace, and this poor, defiled planet shall find itself restored to its former pristine glory. |
| Batman |
|
But that will cost countless lives! |
| Ra's al Ghul |
|
Actually, Detective, we have counted: Two billion, fifty-six million, nine hundred and eighty-six thousand! A most impressive plan, would you not agree? |
| Batman |
|
Yes... I can see it clearly now for the first time. You are completely out of your mind. |
| Rupert Thorne |
|
You think you iced the Batman, huh? Heh heh heh... Not on your best day, Jake! I'd cover my back if I were you. |
| Batman |
|
You've got a serious priority problem, Ra's. What can be in that tomb that's more valuable than the love of your daughter? |
| Ra's al Ghul |
|
Power, detective. |
| Harley Quinn |
|
Look, Bats. When I was a doctor I was always listening to other people's problems. Then I met Mister J, who listened to me for a change and made everything fun. |
| Batman |
|
You think it's funny when he hurts people? |
| Harley Quinn |
|
It's just a joke. |
| Batman |
|
Hope you're still laughing when it's your turn. |
| Harley Quinn |
|
I'M HAVING A BAD DAY! I'm sick of people trying to shoot me, run me over and blow me up! I didn't even get to keep my new dress - and I actually paid for it! |
| Sheriff | Well, well. Jonah Hex his own bad self. Been here five minutes and you ain't killed nobody nor set nothin' on fire. Slippin' ain't you? | |
| Jonah Hex |
|
I'm still a little bushed. |
| Sheriff | Fact is, you look a little past it, Hex. Not tired, just all used up. | |
| Jonah Hex |
|
Well, when I get pushed, I can still shoot a fly out from between its wings. Provided the right lights, of course, and it's a big plump fly. |
| Renee Montoya |
|
Bullock? You okay? You don't look so good. I mean, you never look good, but today you look worse. |
