Quotes 

• Alfred Pennyworth : You'll ruin your eyes changing channels so fast, Master Bruce. Not to mention your attention span. One would think the fall of Rupert Thorne would bring a smile even to your face.

  Bruce Wayne : I'd love to know who this mysterious informant is. This is the third ganglord Mason's brought down in as many months.

  Alfred Pennyworth : Yes, it's quite alarming. If this continues, you might even be forced into taking a vacation.

• Bruce Wayne : [newspaper headline reads "Commissioner Gordon Arrested"]  We'll see about this.

• Barbara Gordon : But you have to come to the rally. The public respects you. If they see you there, they'll know Dad's innocent.

  Batman : Sorry, but there's more to this than a simple frame-up. And I'm not gonna find out by appearing at rallies.

  Barbara Gordon : But don't you see...

  Batman : The best thing you can do for him is to keep out of it. The people behind this are dangerous.

  Barbara Gordon : "I'm a professional, don't try this at home," huh? Sorry, Batman. You being at the rally could decide if Dad goes free. So you'll be there, one way or another.

• Commissioner James Gordon : I was wondering when you'd get around to me.

  Batman : I got a look at the evidence. Those deposit receipts were perfect forgeries, dated months ago. Doesn't look like Thorne's handiwork.

  Commissioner James Gordon : Then who?

  Batman : Word on the street is a new syndicate is moving in. Could be a connection. I'll check it out. Anything you need?

  Commissioner James Gordon : Yes. Check on Barbara. Keep her out of this.

• Two-Face : Who are you? What are you doing here?

  Bruce Wayne : Matches Malone. Heard about a new mob. Thought I could make some more dough.

  Two-Face : Is that so? Well, you heard right. In fact, you can double your take on the jobs we're pulling... assuming I let you live to join my gang.

  [Bruce gasps as Two-Face steps out of the shadows] 

  Two-Face : Matches Malone, huh? Never heard of you. But there's something about you that I don't like. Nothing I can put my finger on, but I trust my hunches; kinda like, uh, second sight, you know?

  [showing his coin] 

  Two-Face : Good heads, you live, bad heads, you don't. Simple, huh?

• Robin : Will you at least wear a transceiver? I can monitor from here in case they try to...

  Bruce Wayne : [putting on a disguise]  No. Too easy to detect.

  Robin : Hey, I didn't miss a Bogart festival in film class just to sit on my butt here while you hit the streets. There has to be something I can do.

  Bruce Wayne : Do you make public appearances?
