Quotes 

• Commissioner Gordon : Ninjas. As if we didn't have enough problems in this city.

  Batman : Commissioner Gordon.

  [Gordon Turns and sees Batman] 

  Batman : What have you got for me?

  Commissioner Gordon : It's Arkham. Alarms went off an hour ago, but when...

  [Sees the Turtles] 

  Commissioner Gordon : What are those?

  Michelangelo : Teenagers.

  Donatello : Mutants.

  Raphael : Ninjas.

  Leonardo : Turtles.

  Commissioner Gordon : Just think about your retirement. Some place where the turtles don't talk and clowns are funny.

  Batman : It's okay, Jim, they're friends. Arkham.

  Commissioner Gordon : Right. When my people tried to move in, they were attacked by ninjas. Like the ones that have been knocking over laboratories.

  Leonardo : Shredder!

  Commissioner Gordon : We've got the perimeter locked down, but we have to assume there are hostages inside. Guards, doctors, nurses. I need you to...

  [Sees the roof is empty] 

  Commissioner Gordon : Sure, leave before I finish. That never gets old.

  Michelangelo : I'm still here.

  Commissioner Gordon : AAAAAA!

• Raphael : So, this League of Assassins seems just like your standard evil ninja deal.

  Robin : Ha, hardly, despite their name. The League would be better understood as a death cult. Worshiping Ra's al Ghul, the Demon's head.

  Raphael : Okay, fine. Creepy evil ninjas then.

  Robin : He wants to use the League to tear down cities like Gotham and rebuild them in his image.

  Batgirl : Yeah, Ra's obviously has plans for the mutagen your Shredder brought into the city.

  Donatello : Ooze, we call it Ooze.

  Batgirl : Really? Ugh, I do not like that word. "Ooze", blech, gross.

  Raphael : Right, Shredder gives ghoulie the Ooze, they build some kind of gizmo and in return, let me get this straight, Shredder gets a pit?

  Robin : The Lazarus Pit. It's how Ra's al Ghul has survived for centuries. It's magic grants immortality to any who bathe in it.

  Raphael : An immortal Shredder? That would suck.

  Donatello : As much as the words immortal Shredder freak me out. I think Batgirl and I have solved one of our problems.

  Batgirl : Yep, with the info Donnie... I can call you that, right?

  Donatello : By all means.

  Batgirl : Cool that Donnie had on his T-phone, I've whipped up a retro mutagen.

  Donatello : Anti-Ooze.

  Batgirl : Not gonna call it that. That will reverse the effects of the "stuff".

  Raphael : You're gonna wanna get that anti-Ooze away from this happily mutated turtle.

  Donatello : Don't worry, it'll only work on someone who's been mutated in the last 12 hours. After that, the DNA changes are baked in.

  Batgirl : Yeah, although maybe worry a little, because it's untested, right now there's a... I'm gonna say 40% chance of lethal side effects.

  Robin : I agree with the turtle, go stand over there.

• Donatello : [the Turtles are researching Batman on a computer, while Michelangelo draws on a nearby whiteboard]  They call him... The Batman.

  Raphael : Oh, Batman! Yeah, no, I'm glad that half-an-hour research pulled up the name I could've guessed in two seconds!

  Donatello : I've read rumors about a supernatural bat creature in Gotham, but I assumed it was an urban legend or that he was a mutant like us.

  Leonardo : That guy was definitely human, and I think his supernatural powers are just his gadgets.

  Michelangelo : Uh, we already know what he is: he's awesome! Unless he's a bad guy. That'd make him, like...

  [Counts with his fingers] 

  Michelangelo : 40% less awesome.

  Donatello : No one knows his motives, but it appears that he only attacks criminals, especially this clown guy.

  Raphael : So he wears a Dracula costume and punches clowns, who cares! The dirtbag stole my sai!

  Donatello : [Quietly]  Dracula costume? What kind of Dracula movies are *you* watching?

  Raphael : Look, all I'm saying is ever since Shredder stole the Ooze from TCRI and came to Gotham, we know he's been working with a new partner, right? It's gotta be this Bat-creep.

  Leonardo : I'm not so sure. The way he fought, avoiding lethal blows; he wanted to figure us out. Like a detective.

  Michelangelo : [Shows his drawings on the whiteboard]  Okay, bros! I broke it down. Awesome: little-bat throwing things, cool car, sweet bat hat. Not awesome: kicked our butts, may be evil, mean voice.

  [Smiles proudly] 

  Leonardo : Either way, after Wayne Enterprises, we have no idea where the Foot will be next. The Batman is our only lead.

  Donatello : Agreed. Whether friend or foe, he was at the scene of the crime.
