Batman quotes from Beware the Batman

Alfred Pennyworth

Just out of curiosity, were you ever going to tell me you were visiting her at Blackgate? What happened to Margaret Sorrow--to Magpie--was not...

My fault. Margaret Sorrow didn't understand the consequences of hiding who you are. I thought I could help.

Alfred Pennyworth

Help who? Magpie... or yourself?

Alfred Pennyworth

Good morning. Breakfast is ready. Can I interest you in some solid food today?

The new carbon-nanotube cape frame is a significant upgrade. It's strong enough to keep an elephant in the air.

Alfred Pennyworth

Handy... if you encounter a free-falling elephant. Liquid again. Your streak is intact.

Alfred Pennyworth

This isn't your fault. No one can foresee everything. Not even you.

You've been telling me that since I was a kid.

Alfred Pennyworth

And it never quite sunk in.

Silver Monkey

The hope of escape. Ruminations of an ill-informed mind.

Then inform me.

Silver Monkey

These cells extend three feet above and below, and are weighted beneath the cement. The bars themselves...

Are made of triple-rolled steel. The distance between the bars is 11.43 centimeters, which means it would require roughly 150 lbs. of pressure to either side to pull them apart. The lock German, blast-proof, and pressurized to resist picking. Shall I go on?

Silver Monkey

Apologies. Passing time until dinner.

You? Why?

Silver Monkey

Freedom has no meaning without honor. Even enemies must abide their debts. I believe you called it a paradox.

I thought you'd been captured.

Early release for good behavior.

What did Ra's promise you? What am I worth?

Magpie

The delicious Mr. Ghul is going to make me a queen. With my own piece of the city and all the shiny shiny I can steal. Isn't he a doll?

Congratulations. I've always wondered what it felt like to lose.

You were right. I can't beat you. Not one-on-one. But everyone has their weakness.

And what is mine?

The belief you don't have one.

Did you get all that?

Harvey Dent doesn't like me.

Maybe he just doesn't know you. You should grab a smoothie with him some time.

Until then, we're following Anarky's instructions because I believe the bomb is here.

Harvey Dent

Wait. So you walked us into a blast zone on purpose?

Yes. Someone has to disable the bomb.

Harvey Dent

Right. The bomb squad.

Anarky won't let that happen.

Harvey Dent

How do you know all this?

I'm Batman.

Anything you like to tell me?

You think I'm the Golem? Since Alfred left, you've gone with me on every patrol.

Please, I still need to sleep. What are you down to, four, three hours a night?

What's your point?

I know you're patrolling without me. And when you're not, you spend more time training here and less time as Bruce Wayne. But it still wouldn't surprise me if the Batman turns out to be the Golem.

Except he's not. So who is?

Metamorpho

As Rex Mason, I never really helped anyone but myself. But as... Metamorpho I could do some real good for other people.

But you can accomplish that without being a...

Metamorpho

A monster? I thought I was a monster because of how I looked. But you're only a monster if you let yourself become one.

Wise words.

I believe this belongs to you.

Prove it.

Like father, like daughter.

Surprised?

I gave up being surprised long ago. Occupational hazard.

Well, my father will be surprised. He thinks I have no head for business.

Is that what they call terrorizing a neighborhood these days, business? If so, your business failed.

This time.

Walk away Ms. Stagg. You do not want to become my enemy.

Batman wait. That golem that fought beside you, I saw the television footage. And it look like...

It wasn't. Rex Mason is dead, your father is in prison because of it and if you come near Old Gotham again, you'll rot in a cell right beside him. Count on it. (Batman leaps out of the building. Sapphire glares at where Batman left)

Is Humpty secure?

Yes. When Humpty Dumpty wakes up from that great fall, he'll be rotting in a cell at Blackgate.

I just thought that what we do, we do for Gotham and its people. Their safety comes first. Even Bruce Wayne would agree with that.

I'm not Bruce Wayne.
