Michael Rosenbaum: Deadman, Triad Boss

Quotes 

• Deadman : [possessing Batman's physical body]  You ain't kiddin' about this Nth-metal stuff.

  Batman : Thanks for the assist, Deadman.

  Deadman : No sweat, Bats.

  Batman : [clearing his throat]  Ahem. Aren't you forgetting something?

  Deadman : Oh, come on. Can't I try it out for a little while longer? I just got back in the game.

  Batman : Then how about we find you another body?

• Deadman : [temporarily possessing Speedy]  Thanks for the loaner, kid.

  Speedy : Holy involuntary acrobatics!

• Deadman : I see you finally shuffled off this mortal coil, Batman. Who did the deed? Was it Black Manta?

  Batman : Are you the Grim Reaper?

  Deadman : Grim, maybe, but I ain't no reaper. I'm just a spirit, cursed to wander the Earth. Another dead man like you.

  Batman : Only I'm not dead.

  Deadman : Could've fooled me.

  Batman : I was buried alive and used an ancient Tibetan meditation technique to astral-project out of my body. But when the air runs out in two hours... well, then I really will be dead.

  Deadman : Maybe I can help, Mac.

• Deadman : You never told me Gentleman Ghost was involved.

  Batman : You know him?

  Deadman : The guy's bad news, Mac. And I don't need someone like him making my miserable existence even more miserable.

  Batman : Maybe if you weren't so busy feeling sorry for yourself, you'd see there's a reason you're here. A reason you have your powers.

• Batman : Arrow, Speedy, I need your help.

  Deadman : Uh, they can't hear us or see us. No one can. Except other dead people.

  Batman : Then how do we communicate?

  Deadman : I can help you take a test drive.

  [pushing him into Speedy] 

  Speedy : Arrow, this is Batman. Listen to me carefully. I've taken control of Speedy's body so that I can speak to you.

  Green Arrow : O... kay...

  Batman : [letting Speedy free]  This is stupid.

  Deadman : You got a better idea?

• Civilian : [possessed by Deadman]  I can possess people. Take total control of their bodies, make 'em do whatever. So how about I use this guy to dig up your body?

  Batman : No. My coffin has been booby-trapped. It's too dangerous to use a civilian. There has to be another way.

  Deadman : [releasing the civilian from his control]  It's your funeral.

• Deadman : I'm sorry, Mac. I know I can a bit of a downer. It's just... I haven't had anything go my way in a while.

  Batman : So why haven't you crossed over?

  Deadman : Because I ain't been invited. I used to be an acrobat, a trapeze artist in the circus. Until one night during the show... I don't know who did it or why, but he had a hook for a hand. It didn't even make the papers.

  Batman : You're Boston Brand. You performed under the name Deadman in Haley's Circus.

  Deadman : You... you remember?

  Batman : I've been working your case. And I will find your killer. You need to make a choice: drown in self-pity or help me find Gentleman Ghost.

• Batman : You've haunted this world long enough, Craddock.

  Gentleman Ghost : I assure you, Batman, there are fates far worse than death.

  Deadman : So we gonna stand here and twiddle? Or are we gonna get down to business?

  Batman : Nice entrance.

  Deadman : I was in the circus.

• Deadman : So, I was thinking, Mac. Maybe you were right about there being a reason I have these powers. Maybe I am supposed to find my killer. And have a little fun along the way.

  Batman : Good to have you back among the living, Deadman.

  Deadman : Now, we gonna stand here and twiddle? Or are we gonna get down to business?
