Chief Angel Rojas quotes from The Batman (2004)

Chief Angel Rojas

He made you look like clowns. Six months ago, Gotham had the lowest crime rate in the nation. Yesterday, we were declared the world's scariest city! And that was before Joker's latest escapade.

But, chief, most of the guys on that board are in prison now, or Arkham.

Chief Angel Rojas

And who received credit for those busts? You? Or you, Yin? I know it wasn't you, Bennett. So tell me, who?

Well, the Batman, I guess.

Chief Angel Rojas

That's right. The Batman. Well, I'm tired of clowns and vigilantes turning my department into a laughing stock. So say hello to my new zero-tolerance policy against all these freaks. No exceptions. And, for starters, I want Gotham's finest to take down Joker before the Batman does. Capeesh?

Detective Ethan Bennett

Chief Rojas, I'm going out on a limb here, but I've been thinking maybe we'd have more success if we tried working with Bats.

Chief Angel Rojas

Working with the Batman? Maybe you could wear spandex and be the Bat's sidekick! You'd better figure out where your loyalties lie, Detective, and fast!

Professor Hugo Strange

I have developed a device that allows its user to tap directly into a patient's mind, like a two-way radio transmission.

Chief Angel Rojas

You gotta be kidding me.

Professor Hugo Strange

Hardly. The technology is untested, and therefore risky, but I am willing to volunteer.

What makes you so sure Joker will be willing to cooperate?

Joker

Another voice in my head? Well, the more, the merrier!

Chief Angel Rojas

Detective Yin aided and abetted a known criminal, resisted arrest, and fled police custody.

That's one way of looking at it. Here's another: Detective Yin helped to bring in Gotham's three most wanted. It seems to me this department has had its share of bad press lately. Do you think it is wise to arrest a hero?
