Your aim appears to be a little off today, Batman. I don't think you could hit the broad side of a barn, let alone the broad side of this bird! You're blind as a bat. Sightless and helpless.
You've got one right.
TV show quotes
Your aim appears to be a little off today, Batman. I don't think you could hit the broad side of a barn, let alone the broad side of this bird! You're blind as a bat. Sightless and helpless.
You've got one right.
You have a call on your private line.
Then let's go!
In your condition, sir?
If you think a little inconvenience like this is going to stop me...
[he knocks over a lamp]
Indeed.
[contacting Mayor Hill's office from the Raven] Quite a machine, this Raven. Amazing what its communications equipment can do. Don't you agree? You've received my instructions?
They arrived by messenger this morning. You know, one-hundred million is a a lot of money. It'll take time to raise that much.
You're stalling, Hill. Obviously, you're not taking me seriously. I've warned you not to make that mistake. Apparently, I'll have to show you why.
Just what I was afraid of. According to the controller's office, we can't come close to putting that ransom together. Not without shutting down basic municipal services.
So what other options do we got?
[emerging from the shadows] None, gentlemen. Which is why you're going to do exactly what the Penguin wants you to.
As Napoleon told me, "A strong will can fuel a frail physique."
Look at it, detective. One of the last of the rainforests. The world depends upon its oxygen, yet the rich see only profit in its destruction. You, who belong to the overclass, have much to answer for.
Bruce Wayne donates millions of dollars a year to preserve these forests.
Which are being depleted at the rate of 120,000 acres a day. Does your money solve this problem? No! It will take more than wealth. It will take power, and I fear, ruthlessness. Humankind must be forced to serve the planet instead of its own appetites.
And you're the one who'll do the forcing?
I am... qualified, yes. But I may not have sufficient lifetimes left to me.
Infidel!
If you only knew how sick I am of you calling me that.
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.
Orpheus.
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.
But that will cost countless lives!
Actually, Detective, we have counted: Two billion, fifty-six million, nine hundred and eighty-six thousand! A most impressive plan, would you not agree?
Yes... I can see it clearly now for the first time. You are completely out of your mind.
You don't understand. You're not a man's mind in a robot's body. You're a robot. Period.
You're lying! It's not possible! I know my family and friends! I remember names, faces, birthdays! I have memories! A past!
You have information. Data. Nothing more. Do you remember your first kiss? Your favorite song? The last time you tasted a really good steak?
[about the duplicant] Could it be it had a soul, Alfred? A soul of silicon, but a soul nonetheless.
Please! It's not what you think. I wasn't going to say anything. Honest!
Silence! First, you transgress against me. Then, you force me to descend to the mortal plane. And now, you tell me I know not what I think?!
No!
To the depths of Tartarus with you!
You bore me with these tales of petty human concerns.
You're doing it again, Max.
You are Clio, my muse of history. Amuse me with tales of ancient times when mortals trembled at the name of Zeus.
You want a story? I got one. Seems there was this guy named Max who, because he'd been lucky so far in the smuggling racket, believed himself to be untouchable, superior, godlike...
There's a cynical edge to your voice I don't appreciate. Know you not, I am above mortal constraints of right and wrong?
No one is above the law, Max.
I make my own laws!
Begone, Lord Hades. Get thee back to thine own realm. Do not come again to Olympus until bidden!
I think I get the message.
[telling Batman about Zeus] He wasn't always this way, you know. But then business got bad and he started handling cargo for the mob. After a while, with the pressure, the tension... things got confused. He's not living in the real world anymore. Maybe you can relate to that?
[after a short silence] You're the only one who can get me close enough to help him - while some of the man you knew still exists.
How do you think I found this place? The phone book? I had help. Inside help.
My premonition! I knew I was right! Which one of you louses is it?!
It ain't me boss!
I know it ain't you, Rhino! You're too stupid to be a traitor!
Thanks, boss.
But whoever it is, they're gonna pay big time! Who is it?! You don't talk, you get the ultimate massage!
And if I tell?
Maybe you just get run over by a truck.
Tempting, but no.
Have it your way. Rhino!
[Rhino gets ready to pull the lever to lower Batman to a pit of mannequins with razor-sharp fingernails]
Hold it!
This is gettin' old, Bats. Last chance, who's the traitor?
Him! The Ventriloquist!
No, no! He's lying! I told you when he came into my room!
So what? Maybe you did 'cause I had ya cornered. Heard ya talkin' to Batman.
[uses his own ventriloquism to imitate the Ventriloquist] Shut up, you blockhead!
WHAT DID YOU SAY?!
It wasn't me! I didn't say that! My lips didn't move!
So what?! You're a ventriloquist! You're also a lyin' yellow liver-bellied two-face!
No, Scarface! I'm loyal! I'd never!
He's been feeding me information, in return for legal protection. [imitates the Ventriloquist again] You're going up the river, sawdust-for-brains!
Why, I oughta...! Waste the floor-flusher! Come on, I gave an order! ICE HIM! DO IT! DO IT NOW!
But, boss, we ventilate the Ventriloquist, your, y'know...
I'M SURROUNDED BY TRAITORS! Okay, fine. Ya want something done right, do it yourself! [aims his gun at the Ventriloquist]
