If you please, to take off the mask to give the better picture?

Great Scott! Batman take off his mask?
Chief O'Hara: The woman must be mad!

Batman

Please...Chief O'Hara...all of you. This young lady is a stranger to our shores. Her request is not unnatural, however, impossible to grant.

Impossible?

Batman

Indeed. If Robin and I were to remove our masks, the secret of our true identities would be revealed.

Completely destroying their value as ace crimefighters.
Chief O'Hara: Sure, ma'am. Not even Commisioner Gordon and meself know who they really are.

Robin

In fact, our own relatives we live with don't know.

But your so curious costumes...

Robin

Don't be put off by them, ma'am. Underneath this garb, we're perfectly ordinary Americans.

You are like the masked vigilantes in the Westerns, no?

Certainly not! Batman and Robin are fully deputized agents of the law.

Robin

Support your police! That's our message!

Batman

Well said, Robin...and no better way to end this press conference...thank you, and good day.
