Scenes with Batman/Bruce Wayne
7 scenes
May I persuade you to take a sandwich with you, sir?
Batman
I'll get drive-through.
Batman
I read your work. Insightful. Naive, but insightful.
I'm flattered. Not every girl makes a superhero's night table.
Commissioner Gordon [about Two-Face]
Can we reason with him? He's holding innocent people hostage up there.
He'll slaughter them without thinking twice.
Batman
Agreed. A trauma powerful enough to create an alternate personality leaves the victim-
Batman
Exactly.
Like you. [off his look] Well, let's just say that I could write a hell of a paper on a grown man who dresses like a flying rodent.
Batman
Bats aren't rodents, Dr. Meridian.
Riddler
(Riddler speaks with Two-Face in his lair for the first time)
I simply love what you've done to this place; heavy metal meets house-and-garden. Splendid! It's so dark, and Gothic, and disgustingly decadent... yet so bright, and chipper, and... conservative. It's so you! And yet, so YOU! Yes, very few people are both a summer and a winter, but... you pull it off nicely.
(Two-Face smiles, then fires a gun into the air close to Riddler's ear, making him recoil)
Just get to the point, big boy.
Riddler
Has anyone told you that you have a SERIOUS IMPULSE CONTROL PROBLEM?!
Riddler
Hey, Two-Face! Show me how to punch a guy!
It's darn simple, my boy; ball up a fist, reach way back, and assert yourself! [punches out cop]
Riddler
Ooo! Sounds fun...lemme try, lemme try!
Ball up a fist...
Riddler
[clenches fist]
Ball up a fist!
Reach way back...
Riddler
[winds up]
Reach way back!
And assert yourself!
Riddler
Assert yours—[punches another cop, but is ineffective] OW! OW!
[in Bruce's monitor watch]
I'm sorry to bother you, sir. But I have some rather distressing news about Master Dick.
Bruce
What? Is he alright?
I'm afraid Master Dick has, uhm, gone traveling.
Wayne
He ran away?
Actually, he took... the car.
Wayne
He boosted the Jag?
No, sir. Not the Jaguar. The other car.
Wayne
The Bentley?
No, sir... the other car.
Dick Grayson
[while beating up Batman]
Bastard! I should've been you! If you had told Two-Face who you were at the circus... They'd still be alive!
Batman
If Bruce Wayne could've given his life for your family, he would have.
Dick Grayson
All I can think about every second of the day is getting Two-Face. He took my whole life. And when I was out there tonight, I imagined it was him that I was fighting, even when I was fighting you. And all the pain went away. Do you understand?
Bruce Wayne
Yes, I do.
Grayson
Good, 'cause you gotta help me find him. And when we do, I'm the one who kills him.
Wayne
So, you're willing to take a life.
Grayson
Long as it's Two-Face.
Wayne
Then it will happen this way: you make the kill, but your pain doesn't die with Harvey, it grows. So you run out into the night to find another face, and another, and another, until one terrible morning you wake up and realize that revenge has become your whole life. And you won't know why.
Grayson
You can't understand. Your family wasn't killed by a maniac.
Wayne
Yes, they were. We're the same.
Dick Grayson
I need a name! Batboy, Nightwing, I dunno. What's a good sidekick name?
Bruce Wayne
How about Dick Grayson, college student?
Dick Grayson
Screw you!
Riddler
(switching on a garish green overcoat with flashing light-up question marks)
Like the jacket? It keeps me safe when I'm jogging at night!
Batman will come for me.
The Riddler
[fake British accent]
Batman? Batman, you say? Coming for you? [laughs, then makes weird noises] I'm... counting on it!
Bruce Wayne
[Bruce and Alfred are trying to figure out the connection between numbers in five riddles.]
Each riddle contains a number, and they go in this order: 13, 1, 8 and 5. Perhaps... letters of the alphabet?
Of course! 13 is M.
Wayne
1 would be A, 8 would be H, and 5 would be E.
M-A-H-E...
Wayne
Perhaps 1 and 8 are 18.
18 is... R. M-R-E.
Wayne
How about "Mr. E"?
"Mystery".
Wayne
And another name for mystery?
Enigma.
Wayne
Mr. E. Nygma... Edward Nygma. Stickley's suicide was obviously a computer-generated forgery.
You really are quite bright, despite what people say.
The Riddler
Hit! And my favorite vitamin, I might add.
Robin
Holey rusted metal, Batman!
Batman
Huh?
Robin
The ground, it's all metal. It's full of holes. You know, holey.
Batman
Oh.
Batman
I see without seeing. To me, darkness is as clear as daylight. What am I?
The Riddler
Why, that's easy, you're as blind as a bat!
Batman
Exactly
The Riddler
(The Riddler and Two-Face are robbing a jewelry store) (about a diamond he's picked up)
Here's a good one!
(upon seeing a newspaper reporting Batman's survival) [wails dramatically]
The Riddler
That's just what I said. And then I taught my doggy a new trick! How to map the human mind.
[Dr. Meridian is visiting an insane Nygma in Arkham Asylum.]
Edward, please. Who is Batman?
Edward Nygma
I'm Batman! [laughs manically as he flaps his arms like wings]
Bruce Wayne
Wacko. That a... technical term?
[Bruce shows Chase the riddles he's been receiving]
My opinion: this letter writer is a total wacko.
Bruce Wayne "Wacko". That a technical term?
"Patient may suffer from obsessional syndrome with potential homicidal tendencies." Does that work better for you?
Bruce Wayne So, what you're saying is, this guy's a total wacko?
Exactly. He's obsessed with you. His only escape may be to purge the fixation.
Bruce Wayne To kill me.
I think you understand obsession better than you let on.
Bruce Wayne [observes a Rorschach on her wall]
You have a thing for bats?
Oh, that's a Rorschach, Mr. Wayne. An inkblot. People see what they want. I think the question would be, do you have a thing for bats?
[Alfred brings an envelope to Bruce, who's watching news reports on the Riddler]
Apparently, you and Batman have a common enemy. That was with the morning mail. [Bruce opens the envelope, revealing another riddle, the camera cuts to the two of them in the Batcave] "The eight of us go forth, not back; to protect our king from a foe's attack".
Bruce Wayne Chess pawns. Clock...match...all physical objects, man-made.
Small in size, light in weight.
Bruce Wayne What's the connection?
With all due respect, sir, I believe that's why they call him "the Riddler".
Bruce WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING?!
You got a real gratitude problem, you know that, Bruce. I need a name! "Batboy"? "Nightwing"? I dunno, what's a good sidekick name?
Bruce How about "Dick Grayson, college student"?
Screw you! I just saved your life, you owe me.
Bruce You were totally out of control. You're gonna get yourself killed.
Your looking at your new partner.
Bruce No!
Bruce, whenever you go all night, I'll be watching and wherever Batman goes, I'm gonna be right beside him. I mean, how are you gonna stop me?
Bruce I can stop you.
[hands Alfred his costume]
Al, put this next to the Batsuit, where it belongs. [gives Bruce a look before leaving]
Bruce [to Alfred]
And you are encouraging him.
Young men with a mind for revenge need little encouragement. They need guidance. You, above all, should know the consequences of the life you choose.
Bruce [Bruce and Alfred try to solve Riddler's Clues]
"We're five little items of an every day sort; you'll find us all in a tennis court". In...a...E, I, O, U. Vowels.
Not entirely unclever, sir. But, what do a clock, a match, chess pawns, and vowels have in common? What do these riddles mean?
Bruce Every riddle has a number in the question and they write in this order: 13, 1, 8, and 5.
13, 1, 8, and 5.
Bruce Maybe, perhaps, letters of the alphabet?
Of course, 13 is M.
Bruce 1 would be A, 8 would be H, and 5 would be E.
M-A-H-E...
Bruce Perhaps 1 and 8 are...18?
18 is R. M-R-E.
Bruce [makes a realization]
How about "Mr. E"?
"Mystery".
Bruce And another name for mystery?
Enigma.
Bruce "Mr. E-nigma". Edward Nygma. Stickley's suicide was obviously a computer-generated forgery.
You really are quite bright, despite what people say.
Batman [preparing to attack the Riddler's island]
What do you suggest, Alfred? By sea? [activates the Bat-Boat] Or by air? [activates the Bat Wing]
Batman [looks over Robin's costume]
Who's your tailor?
I took the liberty, sir.
Batman [notices Robin's logo]
"R". What's that stand for?
[gives Alfred a look]
"Robin". [Alfred smiles; looks back at Batman] Riddler and Two-Face make a pretty lethal combination. Figured you could use a hand.
Batman Two against two are better odds.
I can't promise that I won't kill Harvey.
Batman "Every man's got to go his own way." A friend told me that.
Not just a friend... [offers his hand]
Batman A partner. [shakes Robin's hand]
Dr. Burton [Last lines; Dr. Meridian is visiting Arkham Asylum]
Thank you for that responding to my request for a consultation, Dr. Meridian. Edward Nygma has been screaming for hours that he knows the true identity of Batman.
[Dr. Meridian goes to Edward's cell. It's dark and looks empty, with only some moonlight shining in overhead]
Edward?
It's Dr. Meridian. Chase. Do you remember me?
How could I forget?
Dr. Burton tells me you know who Batman is.
I can't tell you unless you say "please".
Edward, please. Who is Batman?
[Outside, Chase goes to Bruce, who's waiting outside, Alfred nearby with a car]
Your secret is safe. He is definitely a wacko.
Bruce "Wacko". That a...technical term? [Chase chuckles slightly] Listen... [returns her Malaysian dream warden doll] I won't be needing this anymore. Thank you for giving me a new dream.
[They kiss, Alfred shakes his head with a smile]
Don't work too late.
[The film ends with Batman and Robin's silhouettes, running forward towards action in front of the Bat-Signal]
