Quotes 

• Batman : [reads]  Gotham Police declare war on Batman.

  Alfred Pennyworth : I gather you've been reading, "How to Make Friends and Influence People".

  Batman : Somebody's setting me up.

  Alfred Pennyworth : My heavens! You mean it wasn't you tossing guards out of windows last night?

  Batman : I only toss butlers, Alfred.

• Batman : Look here, there were two very quiet burglaries at other pharmaceutical companies this week. Nobody hurt like last night, but chemicals stolen just the same.

  Alfred Pennyworth : And you suspect a pattern?

  Batman : Only one way to find out.

  Alfred Pennyworth : I'll cancel Master Bruce's rendezvous with, uh... Bambi, was it, sir?

  Batman : Yes, Alfred. Do that.

• Batman : This computer checked that fiber against every animal species known to man. I went to them because I thought they might know something we didn't. That hair wasn't a brown bat's.

  Alfred Pennyworth : And those melodic sounds?

  Batman : Computer, check against combined sounds, starling and brown bats.

  Bat Computer : [running an analysis]  Negative. Sounds not originated by either species.

  Alfred Pennyworth : I would say, sir, that we have ourselves an incongruity.

  Batman : Incongruity, Alfred? He's lying. And I'm gonna find out why.

• Dr. Kirk Langstrom : [Speaking of Dr. March]  He's a little protective of all this. I think he likes bats better than people.

  Bruce Wayne : I can't imagine.

• Dr. Kirk Langstrom : Who's back there?

  [Batman steps out of the shadows] 

  Dr. Kirk Langstrom : You.

  Batman : I'm looking for Dr. March.

  Dr. Kirk Langstrom : He's not here, Batman.

  Batman : Where is he?

  Dr. Kirk Langstrom : Giving a lecture on human extinction and bat evolution. He's really quite brilliant.

  Batman : [holding up a stolen chemical]  He's misguided and a thief.

  Dr. Kirk Langstrom : He's just a theorist. He was afraid to put it to the test. But I wasn't. I knew he discovered a formula to create a totally new species, neither man nor bat. And once I started taking it, I couldn't stop. I desperately wanted to, but... *it* took over. Francine and March tried to protect me, but it was too late. The beast knew what chemicals were needed to bring itself about. It was out of my control. And it only needs one more component to complete the process. It's in me, Batman.

  [Kirk laughs as he begins to transform into the Man-Bat] 

• Alfred Pennyworth : A call for Master Wayne from a Dr. March.

  Batman : [sounding like Bruce]  Hey, what's up, Doc?

  Dr. March : You have bats, Mr. Wayne. Common brown bats. They shouldn't pose a problem. As the weather gets colder, they'll move on.

  Batman : What about the sound on the tape?

  Dr. March : It's actually two sounds. Starlings and brown bats, probably fighting over a nest in your chimney.

  Batman : Appreciate the help, doc. I'll return the favor next time you're raising funds.

• Dr. March : You donate a few million and you think you own the place. I understand I'm the analyze something for you.

  Bruce Wayne : Yeah, doc. See, I keep hearing squeaks in my chimney.

  [Hands Dr. March a small plastic sandwich bag] 

  Bruce Wayne : And I found these in my empty fireplace. They look like hairs. I thought maybe you could tell me if I have a bat problem.

  Dr. March : And what if they are bats, Mr. Wayne? What then? Destroy them like insects? We won't survive the next evolutionary cataclysm, but bats will! They're survivors, Mr. Wayne, not pests! You should understand that!
