[After Batman shoots Tigress and turns her back to normal]
RRamrod
What did you do to her?
BBatman
Let's just say I put the cat out.
RRamrod

[Batman tries to fire but is out of antidote needles; Ramrod charges and Batman grabs Ramrod by his nose ring and throw him to the statues, neither aware that while Cuvier starts splicing himself]
BBatman

[Shoots Ramrod and turns himself back to normal, then notices Cuvier's shadow heading towards the next room; he walks down and creeps up against the walls]
BBatman

[He screams in pain as they operate on his spine, then you see him hanging from the ceiling] But it artificially enhanced my strength and reflexes. After I recovered, I went back... and with my bare hands, got my revenge. [flashback: he kills the panther that mauled him in direct combat] It was easy. Too easy.

Information overload, man! As a society, we're drowning in a quagmire of vid-clips, e-mail, and sound bites. We can't absorb it all! There's only one sane solution: blow it up!
