• Batman : Don't move, I'll get the universal drug antidote.

  Molly : [gets out of the Batmobile and pulls out a revolver, pointing it at Batman]  Reach, Batman!

  Batman : Well, Molly. I was wondering when you would get around to that.

  Molly : What? You mean you *saw* through my disguise?

  Batman : A criminal always makes one mistake, Molly. Those straws you gave Robin to breathe through, I spotted the defect in the mask instantly. That was the one hole in your plan.

  Molly : Well, there are gonna be some holes in you, Batman.

  [pulls the trigger on her revolver, nothing happens] 

  Batman : Foolish girl. You were so bent on your murderous scheme, you failed to notice. In the Batmobile, I burned off your revolver's firing pin with a hidden bat-laser beam.

• Robin : Listen: how many sides is a circle?

  [Batman jerks back his head in thought] 

  Robin : Answer: two. Inside and outside, right?

  Batman : Right.

  Robin : Here's the second one: what President of the United States wore the biggest hat?

  [Batman turns around and starts pacing] 

  Robin : It's, it's easy Batman: the one with the biggest head!

  Batman : Of course.

• Batman : This jokes on you, Riddler!

  Robin : When is a donkey spelled with one letter? When it's U!

  The Riddler : A Trojan mammoth!

• Bruce Wayne : I have only one regret in the whole affair. One thing that makes me heartsick.

  [as Bruce stares towards the window, a superimposed image of Molly appears shaped like a star] 

  Dick Grayson : Molly? You kind of liked her, didn't you?

  Bruce Wayne : [turns around]  If only I could have helped her somehow. Weened her from that tragic alliance with the underworld which led to...

  Aunt Harriet : [Aunt Harriet comes in carrying a tray filled with milk, tea and cookies]  Oh dear me, Bruce, I hope you're not speaking of any young lady we know. I mean the thought of young Dick being exposed to any criminal element is...

  Bruce Wayne : Rest at ease, Aunt Harriet, the young lady won't trouble us. She's merely someone I passed like a ship in the night. Now vanished like a puff of smoke.

• [after seeing Molly fall into the Batcave atomic power source] 

  Batman : What a terrible way to go-go.

• Batman : Well well, we've come a long way from the Prime Minister's exploding cake. Or have we? Nice listening, Robin.

  Robin : Aw gee, it was nothing, Batman.

• Batman : You jolly devil!
