Dr. Kirk Langstrom quotes from The Batman (2004)

Quite a scrapbook for someone who's never paid attention to the Batman.

Oh, don't trouble yourself, Mr. Wayne. A pompous pretty-boy like you could never understand my work.

Try me, doctor.

I want to be like the Batman.

You want to be a crimefighter?

No, Mr. Wayne, I want to be feared. You've forced me to accelerate my testing schedule. It's a pity that the Batman himself can't be here to witness... [drinks the serum] the birth of Man-Bat!

I knew you'd come calling, Batman. So tell me - who's the better bat?

Batman

This has to end now, before you start feeding on humans.

Oh, but I'm so close to my goal! Two more doses of my formula, and the Man-Bat will rule the night forever!

So that's the wretched device which controls me. Its frequency must have triggered my echolocation bat-hearing and reactivated dormant traces of the serum in my system, transforming me into Man-Bat!

Penguin

...Yeah, whatever. So I just gotta flip this puppy on to turn nerd-guy back into Man-Bat?

I shall allow you to live, Penguin, if you hand it to me now.

Penguin

Hand what to you, huh, this? This?! [waves it at Langstrom mockingly and knocks him back with his umbrella, laughing]

Then be sure you never lose it. For the first opportunity I get, I shall clip your flightless wings.
