Ah. The Dark Knight returns.
D.A.V.E.'s escape was no accident, was it, Professor?
[covertly opening a draw on his desk] You are not suggesting that I deliberately released Gotham's ultimate criminal mastermind?
I'm suggesting that you might find Arkham a better home than office.
The line between genius and insanity is often blurred.
[He pulls a gun and fires at Batman, but is quickly restrained. Batman then notices the collection of memorabilia of him in Strange's files]
Didn't know you were such a fan.
Your obsession with criminals fascinates me as much as the criminals themselves.
Shut down D.A.V.E., now!
I may have created D.A.V.E., Batman, but I no longer control him.
Then tell me how to stop him!
You can't. You see, he was designed to stop you. D.A.V.E. enacted his crimes to bait you into encounters, in order to study you.
And why would he want to study me?
[smiling darkly] Because I also programmed my psychology into D.A.V.E.'s brain. D.A.V.E. shares my fascination with you, Batman - and by now, has probably learned all there is to know about you.
[At Wayne Manor, Alfred answers the doorbell]
Yes, yes, one moment. [he opens the door to find D.A.V.E. standing there]
Good evening. Is the Batman home?
