Quotes
-
Batman : Impressive. You have all the answers, D.A.V.E., except one. Every great supervillain, as well as a superhero, has an origin too. What's yours?
D.A.V.E. : My origin? I... I... fell into a chemical bath.
Batman : That's Joker.
D.A.V.E. : A cryogenic mishap. No, no. I... I lost my family fortune.
Batman : Freeze. Penguin.
D.A.V.E. : I was a mad psychiatrist using Arkham as my cover.
Batman : That's Professor Strange, your creator. You can't remember your origin because it doesn't exist. You're a computer program.
-
Batman : Strange.
Professor Hugo Strange : Ah, the Dark Knight returns.
Batman : D.A.V.E.'s escape wasn't a glitch, wasn't it, professor?
Professor Hugo Strange : You don't mean to say that I deliberately unleashed Gotham's Ultimate Criminal Mastermind?
Batman : I am saying you might find Arkham a better home than office.
Professor Hugo Strange : The line between genius and insanity is often blurred. Ha!
[Professor Strange wields a blaster. Batman pins him down and sees Strange's fan collection of him]
Batman : Didn't know you were such a fan.
Professor Hugo Strange : Your obsession with criminals fascinates me as much as the criminals themselves.
Batman : Shut down D.A.V.E., now.
Professor Hugo Strange : I might have created D.A.V.E., Batman, but I no longer control him.
Batman : Then tell me how to stop him.
Professor Hugo Strange : You can't. You see, he was designed to stop you. D.A.V.E. enacted his crimes in order to bait you into encounters, in order to study you.
Batman : And why would he want to study me?
Professor Hugo Strange : Because I also programmed my psychology into D.A.V.E.'s brain. D.A.V.E. shares my fascination with you, Batman, and right now, has learned all there is to know about you.
