Batman quotes from Batman: The Brave and the Bold

I was just playing around with my new toys, Batman. Is that so wrong?

Red Tornado

Based on criminal records, most of your actions are wrong. Felony robbery, parole violation, felony assault, jaywalking--

Batman

Not now, Tornado. [to Fun Haus] If you think we're going to let you continue your deranged rampage, you're wrong.

Yes, yes. "If ifs and buts were candy and nuts, we'd all have a Merry Christmas!" Unfortunately, the games have only just begun tonight.

Wildcat

You and your gizmos. Come on, we should be on the chase, not playing mad scientist.

Batman

You know, nowadays, there's more to fighting crime than a thick skull and fists. And I wouldn't need to track them with gizmos if I didn't have to bail you out while they got away - twice!

Wildcat

And who says I needed you to bail me out?! You know, I've been doing this since you were in Bat-diapers, and I've gotten along just fine!

Batman

You're right - you have been doing this a long time. Maybe too long.

Wildcat

This is my fault. The world's changed around me, and I'm still the same as I've always been--all fists, no brains. You were right. I should have retired a long time ago.

Batman

If I wanted you to retire, it's because you've been like a father to me. And I didn't want to lose another one.

Batman

Revenge is a poison that rots a man from within.

No, my friend. Revenge is a fire that keeps me warm in the eternal cold of the grave.

People just don't appreciate the time and expense that goes into this high-tech gear. They'd rather see fisticuffs.

Batman

True. Uppercuts and bodyslams are no substitute for having the proper tools when it comes to crimefighting. But they are a whole lot more fun.

Without your helmet, Fate, you are defenceless. (laughs maniacally)

Dr. Fate

(punching him) I'd call those boxing lessons I got from Bats a pretty good defense.

Batman

Told you. it's not the helmet, it's the man.

Dr. Fate

Maybe. But I prefer helmets to haymakers any day.

Batman! If thou thinketh thou can stop me, then have at thee!

Batman

(thinking) Somewhere, Shakespeare is spinning in his grave.

Well, I suppose you'll be wanting a share of the bounty for these here outlaws.

Batman

Keep it. I fight for justice, not money.

At least take this and get yourself a proper cowboy hat. I can't be partnering up with someone who parades around in that ridiculous bat getup.

You're outmatched.

Batman

Maybe. But you left the school before learning Wong Fei's most important lesson: when outmatched, cheat.

I could get used to this.

Batman

Wings? Blindness? Horrendously disfigured face? I think I prefer my "ridiculous costume".

[while inside Batman's escape proof cell in a straitjacket] Questioning me is a waste of time. This bird won't sing.

Batman

Your silence only forces me to take... [cracks his knuckles] ...stronger measures.

Suit yourself.

Batman

Precisely.

Where are you going?

Batman

To get answers.

Scarlet Scarab

Totally. The others don't know what I'm capable of. One day I'll show them. I've got the true heart of a hero.

Batman

[thinking] Hero? A possible ally?

Scarlet Scarab

I keep it in a big jar at the back of my closet.

Welcome, Aquaman. If the most brilliant strategist on Earth sees fit to bring you to Rann in our hour of need, you'll doubtless prove an invaluable ally.

Oh, how I wish that were true.

Batman

He's not feeling well.

How's your aim, Batman?

Batman

Impeccable.

We'll see about that. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. And you. Are you willing to face impossible odds to save the woman you love?

Of course.

Good answer.

Batman

Your crop's gone bad, Scarecrow. Time to cut your losses.

Oh, I intend to! [slashes at him with a scythe] Starting with you.
