Diedrich Bader: Batman

Quotes 

• Batman : Sorry to call you away from your nightly workout, Wildcat, but I'm gonna need all the help I can to take down this escaped con.

  Wildcat : Well, he'd better be as tough as you say, 'cause I got 567 push-ups to get back to.

  [flexing his bicep] 

  Wildcat : Go on, junior. Give that a feel.

• Trung : What happened? Am I gonna live forever?

  Batman : You deluded creature. Still hoping to get something for nothing.

• Batman : We'll enlist the crimefighter's best ally: the element of surprise.

  Booster Gold : [banging his head]  Ouch! Sorry.

• Batman : Bending legitimate scientific equipment to your evil will. You fiend.

  Kru'll : Batman!

  Booster Gold : And Booster Gold. Hero from the 25th century.

  Batman : [ignoring him]  That meteorite belongs to the public

  Kru'll : The rock is mine. I found it 10,000 years ago and I won't part with it again.

• Batman : You're that guy who uses his knowledge of the future to fight crime and make a quick buck. I'd never team up with someone in this for the glory.

  Booster Gold : In this for the glory? That hurts. Just a sec.

  [approaching Punch and Jewelee in a squad car] 

  Booster Gold : Hi. Great look. The media loves that whole jester theme, and I've been thinking an archenemy would really raise my profile.

  [sticking a business card into Punch's suit] 

  Booster Gold : When you get out, let's talk.

• Wildcat : You need my help for this 90-pound weakling? What's the matter, Bats? Afraid he's gonna take your milk money?

  [laughing] 

  Wildcat : You don't need me. You need a fly swatter.

  Batman : There's more to Bane than meets the eye.

  Wildcat : I don't know whether to punch him or feed him a protein shake.

  Batman : Wildcat.

  Wildcat : [behind him, Bane grows in size]  I've got liver spots bigger than this punk.

  Batman : Wildcat!

  Wildcat : [seeing him]  Aw, nuts.

• Batman : Once a caveman, always a caveman. It always comes down to bashing something with a rock.

  Kru'll : I'll crush you for that.

  Batman : [using his grappling hook to topple a dinosaur skeleton]  Brains trump brute force, Kru'll.

• Kru'll : And now for you, Batman. You, I'm going to have stuffed and mounted in my den.

  Batman : [headbutting him]  Not in your lifetime.

• Booster Gold : What kind of crime we busting tonight, partner?

  Batman : Trespassing. How did you track me here?

  Booster Gold : In the 25th century, the Batcave's a historical attraction. With a rollercoaster. In 400 years or so, I'm gonna hurk right up... there.

• Batman : Sorry, Punch and Jewlee, but you'll find there won't be much to laugh about behind prison bars.

  Booster Gold : Nice takedown, buddy. Bet that'll get us a front-page mention.

  Batman : Who are you?

  Booster Gold : Your new partner. Here's the pitch. The brave and the gold featuring Booster and Bats. The ultimate team-up. What do you think?

  [Batman walks away silently] 

  Booster Gold : Yeah, I love it, too.

• Kru'll : Just like the Aztec warriors, there is no quit in you. But they too eventually fell before me.

  Booster Gold : The guillotine. Retro. I dig it. But, dude, we shouldn't be enemies. We should be partners. You want an empire? I can help you build it. Radio, print, TV, and the Internet. Toy line, hello?

  Batman : Do you ever stop?

  Booster Gold : And we'll split it 50/50.

  [Kru'll begins to lower the guillotine blade] 

  Booster Gold : Whoa, whoa, whoa. 60/40.

  Kru'll : If you are the quality of hero the future has to offer, then I shall have no problem keeping the world under my boot heel.

  [as Batman picks the lock of his restraint, Booster uses his mini-Boostermobile to jam the guillotine blade] 

  Booster Gold : Ha! I knew the Boostermobile was good for something.

  [Batman pulls him out, and they turn to face Kru'll's warriors] 

  Booster Gold : You broke my buddy. I'm gonna break you.

• Batman : I'm glad we could work together, Booster.

  Booster Gold : Wow.

  Batman : My thoughts exactly. And there's a lesson to be learned. You were a hero because you ignored the glory and remembered what mattered most was...

  Booster Gold : Just a sec.

  [putting his fingers to his ear] 

  Booster Gold : Manny, call the toy company. I teamed up with Batman and guess what. We won! I know, huh? News crews? What do you mean there has to be a camera? Stupid 21st century media.

• Booster Gold : What's this?

  Batman : [with a heavy sigh]  I've been tracking missing quantities of leutonium and a recent scientific discovery that's gone missing.

  Skeets : Ah, the stolen Greenland meteorite.

  Batman : Looks like a certain immortal caveman has risen again to conquer the world.

  Skeets : You know, sir, that immortal caveman.

  Batman : [Booster stares blankly]  Kru'll the Eternal?

  Booster Gold : Oh, yeah. The immortal caveman guy.

  Batman : [trying to contain his annoyance]  You should go.

• Booster Gold : Wait, I know him. Kru'll's still around in the future. I've even clashed with him once or twice.

  [in a flash-forward to his security guard job, he bumps into Kru'll in passing] 

  Booster Gold : [pleading]  Please, you gotta let me in on this.

  Batman : Not unless you have a way to track leutonic energy in all that 25th-century gear.

  Skeets : I run on a leutonium power cell, sir, and can scan for other sources.

  Batman : Okay. But you are not going to turn this into a marketing opportunity.

  Booster Gold : [putting his fingers to his ear]  Just a sec. Manny, my man. Line up a book deal and a movie, and we'll spin off the toy line from there. I'm in with Bats!

  [Batman scowls] 

• Kru'll : Once I find the leutonic energy I need, I will be unstoppable.

  Batman : You're out of luck, Kru'll.

  Booster Gold : [leaping into action]  It's hero time, Skeets. Make sure you get a photo.

• Kru'll : You broke the magnetic field? The power you'd need is unthinkable.

  Booster Gold : Ha. Skeets runs on a genuine 25th-century leutonium battery. Nothing like it in this time.

  Kru'll : No, there isn't.

  [as he blasts a pipe, the steam gives him cover to escape] 

  Booster Gold : He took Skeets.

  Batman : And the meteorite.

• Booster Gold : We gotta save him, Bats. Skeets is my best bud, my wingman. The only one I've ever been able to count on.

  Batman : Right now, he's counting on you, Booster.

  Booster Gold : We all know I'm not much of a hero.

  Batman : Maybe you've just never had anything worth fighting for until now.
