Quotes:

Alfred: There is no defeat in death, Master Bruce. Victory comes in defending what we know is right while we still live.

Pamela Isley/Poison Ivy: Mammals, a day of reckoning is coming. That's right, the same plants and flowers that saw you crawl from the primordial soup will reclaim the planet. And there will be no-one to protect you.::Gossip Gerty: You must be new in town. In Gotham City, Batman and Robin protect us... even from plants and flowers.

Robin: I hate to disappoint you but my rubber lips are immune to your charms.

Mr. Freeze: You're not sending ME to the COOLER!::Robin: I could have made that jump!::Batman: And you could have splattered your brains all over the side of the building.::Robin: You know, in the circus, the Flying Graysons were a team. We had to trust each person to do their jobs. That's what being partners is all about. Sometimes, counting on someone else is the only way you win.::Batman: Your head wasn't even on the job. All you could think about was Poison Ivy.::Robin: You just can't stand it! Maybe she wanted me instead of you. I mean, this is your idea of friendship, isn't it, Bruce? It's your house, it's your rules, it's your way to the highway! It's Batman and Robin, not Robin and Batman, and I'm sick of it!::Batman: Yes, it's my rules. *My* rules to keep us alive, and if you want to stay in this house, and on this team, you will abide by them!::Robin: This is no partnership. You're never gonna trust me!

Pamela Isley/Poison Ivy: Poison... Poison Ivy.

Bruce Wayne: I'm going after Mr. Freeze and Poison Ivy, "alone".::Dick Grayson: Alone?::Bruce Wayne: That's right, Dick. I want them so much, I can taste it.::Dick Grayson: What? Nobody can face them but the big, bad bat?::Bruce Wayne: It's Poison Ivy too. She has us fighting over her.::Dick Grayson: Yeah right. You're just saying that so I can't kiss her, is that it.::Bruce Wayne: Listen dick, it's a poisonous kiss.::Dick Grayson: A poisonous kiss? You don't understand. She understands how I feel.::Bruce Wayne: She has clouded your mind and you're not thinking straight.::Dick Grayson: I "am" thinking straight. For the first time in a long time. I want a Robin signal in the sky, I'm sick of being in your shadow.

Bruce Wayne: Well, he's over-eager. He's impulsive. I can't trust him not to get hurt.::Alfred: Perhaps the truth is you really don't trust anyone.::Bruce Wayne: Oh, don't tell me you're on his side, again.::Alfred: Despite all your talents, you are still a novice in the ways of family. Master Dick follows the same star as you but gets there by his own course. You must learn to trust him, for that is the nature of family.::Bruce Wayne: I trust *you*, Alfred.::Alfred: But I shan't be here forever.

Cop #1: Please show some mercy!::Mr. Freeze: Mercy? I'm afraid my condition has left me cold to your pleas of mercy.

Batgirl: Chicks like you give women a bad name.

Batman: And you are...?::Batgirl: Batgirl.::Batman: That's not very PC. What about Batwoman, or Batperson?::Batgirl: Bruce, it's me, Barbara. I found the Batcave.::Robin: We gotta get those locks changed.::Batman: She knows who we are.::Robin: I guess we'll just have to kill her.::Batman: Yep, we'll kill her later, we've got work to do.

Quotes:

Two-Face: One man is born a hero, his brother a coward. Babies starve, politicians grow fat. Holy men are martyred, and junkies grow legion. Why? Why, why, why, why, why? Luck! Blind, stupid, simple, doo-dah, clueless luck!

Gang Leader: Who the hell are you?::Dick Grayson: I'm Batman.::[the whole gang starts laughing]::Dick Grayson: Okay, so I forgot my suit, all right!

The Riddler: Joygasm!

Dr. Chase Meridian: Hot entrance!

[Two-Face decides a victim's fate with a coin toss]::Two-Face: Ah. Fortune smiles. Another day of wine and roses. Or, in your case, beer and pizza!

Alfred Pennyworth: Broken wings mend in time. One day Robin will fly again. I promise.

[Two-Face cries on seeing a newspaper report of Batman's latest escape]::The Riddler: That's what I said. Then I taught my doggie a new trick: how to map the human mind. Would you like to see what our old friend Bruce Wayne has in his head?::[he plugs in the disk with Bruce Wayne's memory; on the screen they see the image of the giant bat. Two-Face starts laughing]::The Riddler: Riddle me this, what sort of a man has bats on the brain? Go ahead, you can say it.::Two-Face: You're a genius!::The Riddler: Oh, stop!

The Riddler: Riddle me this, riddle me that, who's afraid of the big, black bat?

Batman: Commissioner Gordon?::Dr. Chase Meridian: He's at home. I sent the signal.::Batman: What's wrong?::Dr. Chase Meridian: Last night at the bank I noticed something about Two-Face. His coin. It's his Achilles' heel. It can be exploited.::Batman: I know. You called me here for this? The Batsignal is not a beeper.::Dr. Chase Meridian: Well I wish I could say that my interest in you was... purely professional.::Batman: You trying to get under my cape, doctor?::Dr. Chase Meridian: A girl can't live by psychoses alone.::Batman: It's the car, right? Chicks love the car.::Dr. Chase Meridian: [laughs] What is it about the wrong kind of man? In grade school it was boys with earrings, high school; motorcycles; college, leather jackets. Now... [feels his suit] *Ah*. Black rubber.::Batman: Try firemen, less to take off. [hastens away but she follows him]::Dr. Chase Meridian: I don't mind the work. Pity I can't see behind the mask.::Batman: We all wear masks.::Dr. Chase Meridian: My life's an open book. You read?::Batman: I don't blend in at a family picnic.::Dr. Chase Meridian: Oh, we could give it a try. I'll bring the wine, you bring your scarred psyche.::Batman: Direct, aren't you?::Dr. Chase Meridian: You like strong women. I've done my homework. Or do I need skin-tight vinyl and a whip?::Batman: I haven't had that much luck with women.::Dr. Chase Meridian: Maybe you just haven't met the right woman.

Dick Grayson: I need a name! Batboy, Nightwing, I dunno. What you think? What's a good sidekick name?::Bruce Wayne: How about Dick Grayson, college student?::Dick Grayson: Screw you!

The Penguin: Burn baby, burn!

[addressing a huge flock of penguins]::The Penguin: My dear penguins, we stand on a great threshold! It's okay to be scared; many of you won't be coming back.

The Penguin: True. I was their number one son, and they treated me like number two.

Catwoman: I don't know about you, Miss Kitty, but I feel so much yummier.

Batman: What do you want?::The Penguin: Ah, the direct approach. I admire that in a man with a mask. [laughs, then turns serious] You don't really think you'll win, do you?::Batman: Things change.::[Catwoman backflips into the middle of the confrontation. They stare at her, momentarily nonplussed]::Catwoman: Meow.::[a store explodes, she slips off]::The Penguin: I saw her first... gotta fly!

Fat Clown: Penguin... I mean, killing sleeping children. Isn't it that a little, uh...::[Penguin grabs an umbrella and shoots Henchman dead]::The Penguin: No! It's a lot "uh"!::[Kicks Henchman into the water]

Plot: Gotham City: dark, dangerous, 'protected' only by a mostly corrupt police department. Despite the best efforts of D.A. Harvey Dent and police commissioner Jim Gordon, the city becomes increasingly unsafe...until a Dark Knight arises. We all know criminals are a superstitious, cowardly lot...so his disguise must be able to strike terror into their hearts. He becomes a bat. Enter Vicky Vale, a prize-winning photo journalist who wants to uncover the secret of the mysterious "bat-man". And enter Jack Napier, one-time enforcer for Boss Grissom, horribly disfigured after a firefight in a chemical factory...who, devoid of the last vestiges of sanity, seizes control of Gotham's underworld as the psychotic, unpredictable Clown Prince of Crime...the Joker. Gotham's only hope, it seems, lies in this dark, brooding vigilante. And just how does billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne fit into all of this?

Quotes:

The Joker: Now comes the part where I relieve you, the little people, of the burden of your failed and useless lives. But, as my plastic surgeon always said: if you gotta go, go with a smile.

The Joker: Haven't you ever heard of the healing power of laughter?

Grissom: That you, sugar bumps? [turns around to see a man] Who the hell are you?::Joker: It's me, Sugar bumps.::Grissom: Jack? Oh, oh, thank God you're alive! I heard you'd been...::Joker: Fried? Is that what you heard? You set me up over a woman. A *woman*! You must be insane. [Grissom goes for his gun] Don't bother.::Grissom: Your life won't be worth spit!::Joker: I've been dead once already. It's very liberating. You should think of it as, uh... therapy.::Grissom: Jack, listen. Maybe we can cut a deal.::Joker: Jack? Jack is dead, my friend. [steps into the light] You can call me... Joker. And as you can see, I'm a lot happier. [laughs, and then proceeds to kill Grissom]

Bruce Wayne: [Vicki goes to answer the front door; mouths] I'm Batman, I'm Batman.

The Joker: [talking to a gargoyle] What are you laughin' at?

The Joker: I've recently had a tragedy in my life. Alicia...::[lays the mask that Alicia wore on the table]::The Joker: ...threw herself out of the window.::Vicki Vale: Oh, my God.::The Joker: But, you can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs.::[breaks the mask and starts giggling]

The Joker: I have given a name to my pain, and it is Batman.

Joker: Hello, Vinny. It's your Uncle Bingo. Time to pay the check!

Alfred Pennyworth: I have no wish to fill my few remaining years grieving for the loss of old friends. Or their sons.

Knox: You know what they say? They say he can't be killed. They say he drinks blood. They say...::Eckhardt: I say... you're full of shit, Knox. Oh, uh, you can quote me on that.
