What Is Reality? (1992)

Bob Hastings: Commissioner Gordon

Quotes 

• Robin : Sort of like playing a computer game from the inside, isn't it?

  Commissioner Gordon : Amazing. It even feels real.

  Robin : The military's been experimenting with virtual reality for combat simulation.

  Commissioner Gordon : Then what's Nygma doing with it?

  Robin : Nothing now. He can't access this computer; it's not hooked up to a phone line.

  Commissioner Gordon : So why'd he want us to find it?

  Robin : Good question, but there's no way to know 'til I go through all the files. Guess I should get back to work after I grab a snack. You hungry?

  Commissioner Gordon : No, thanks.

  Riddler : Batman's young friend is fairly clever, but he doesn't have all the answers.

• Batman : Looks like Edward Nygma's making a comeback.

  Commissioner Gordon : Hmm? Oh. Yeah, Nygma. He's deleting all his files from every police database we can access. Look. He's left no trace of any driver's license or Social Security number. No bank accounts, credit cards, not even a birth certificate.

  Batman : As if he never existed. But what about the hard copies of...

  Commissioner Gordon : [his phone rings]  Gordon here. What?

  [covering the mouthpiece] 

  Commissioner Gordon : Someone just delivered a crate downstairs with question marks painted on it. And it's ticking.

• Robin : Looked like he suffered some kind of attack; like a sensory overload or something.

  Commissioner Gordon : But we'll never know for sure, 'cause we'll never find him.

  Batman : Oh, no? Come on. I think he left us a clue.

  [dissolve to them arriving at their destination] 

  Batman : "If the planet were equitable, I'd still have my old job."

  Robin : Of course. "If the world's fair, I'd still have my ex-position." Oh, give me a break.
