- Alfred Pennyworth: You seem to have a ding in your door, sir.
- Batman: He trashed my car, Alfred. Between a couple of guys, that's real personal.
- Alfred Pennyworth: Nice to see you haven't lost your sense of humor in the face of adversity.
- Batman: Something Croc said reminded me of a Cuban prison experiment I heard about. Piña Doro Prison. For lifers only.
- Alfred Pennyworth: Then we're looking for an escapee?
- Batman: That's right, and there's only been one escape in 25 years, three years ago. Computer, run background file on Project Gilgamesh.
- Alfred Pennyworth: Gilgamesh. Named after the warrior?
- Batman: The ultimate warrior. A chemical plan to create supersoldiers out of hardened prisoners. It was abandoned when they got more than they bargained for.
- Alfred Pennyworth: And what was that, sir?
- Batman: They got Bane. After he escaped, Bane went into business for himself as a freelance assassin. Price per job: $5 million. So the question is who wants to eliminate me?
- Alfred Pennyworth: That line is forming around the block, sir.
- Batman: Let me put it this way: who was five million to spend?
- Rupert Thorne: [knocking out an underling] Candice, when Jake here comes 'round, tell him he's fired.
- Killer Croc: [waiting in ambush] Come on in, Batman. The water's fine.
- Bane: [smashing through the wall] He is mine to destroy, monster!
- Killer Croc: Over my dead body!
- Bane: As you wish.
- [as Batman trips Bane's Venom-inducer, causing an overload into his brain]
- Bane: You can't do this to me! I am invincible! I AM BANE!
- [the phone rings in a strange apartment, and Batman picks up]
- Bane: You are lucky, Batman. Were I a common sniper, you would never have reached the phone.
- Batman: Is this the best you can throw at me, Rupert?
- [taking Bane's mask off and throwing it on the desk]
- Batman: Go on, Candice. Take his mask. Thought you might like to hear this, Rupert.
- [taking out a tape recorder]
- Batman: It's a new release. Maybe we'll call it "better luck next time."
- Candice: [he clicks "play"] With Batman out of the way, Gotham could be yours. So could I.
- Bane: And what about your employer?
- Candice: Well, accidents *do* happen.
- Bane: [catching and crumpling a thrown batarang] Toys. You try to fight me with pathetic little toys.
- Batman: I didn't think you'd mind some company.
- Killer Croc: Visiting hours are over.
- Batman: Hmm... how do these traction things work?
- Killer Croc: When my bones heal, I'll show you firsthand.
- Batman: Who did this, Croc?
- Killer Croc: Why should I tell you?
- Batman: If you want to suffer in silence, that's fine by me.
- Killer Croc: [groaning in pain as Batman cranks the handle to his traction slings] Ahh! Okay, okay! He was huge. He had these tubes in his head. Pumped him up twice as big right in front of my eyes. And he had an accent. South American or something.
- Batman: See? That wasn't so hard.
- Killer Croc: You'll know hard, Bats, once he sucks that juice into his brain and snaps you in two.
- Batman: Don't bet on it, killer. Later, gator.
- Robin: [after finding Killer Croc beaten up] Could be a crime fighter, you know? Somebody trying to be like us, trying to help us clean up Gotham. What do you think, Batman? Do you...
- [Batman gasps]
- Robin: What?
- Batman: [seeing the Batmobile smashed up] I think you're right about one thing, Robin. Whoever did this was tough. This was done with bare hands.
- Rupert Thorne: They'll never pin it on me, but that little fiasco cost me an easy 10 mil! You almost didn't get paid. You're lucky these diamonds didn't get nabbed in the smuggling bust.
- Bane: No, Mr. Thorne. You're the lucky one.
- [as he punches a punching bag, it snaps off its chain and smashes into a rack of free weights]
- Rupert Thorne: I'm making my secretary available to you. She can provide any background you might need on your target.
- Bane: My needs have already been met.
- Rupert Thorne: [taking a newspaper with a headline about Killer Croc escaping from Arkham] I'm paying you to go after Batman, not Killer Croc.
- Bane: But the Batman will surely be on the reptile's trail. I will observe the Bat in action, and when I understand how he thinks and fights, I will break him. Now, where do I find this Killer Croc?
- Robin: [beckoning to Candice] C'mere, sweetie. I got something to discuss with you.
- [Candice calmly removes her shoes then dives into the water to fight Robin]
