Quotes 

• Superman : I won't have vigilantism in my town.

  Batman : You'll be rid of me as soon as I find the Joker.

  Superman : That may not be soon enough.

  [Batman takes out a sliver of kryptonite] 

  Superman : [recoiling]  Uhh.

  Batman : It doesn't take much, does it? The Joker has 20 pounds more where this came from. Thought you might like to know.

• Lex Luthor : As you can see, the Wayne-Lex T-7 can traverse the most difficult terrain, never losing sight of its ultimate target.

  Bruce Wayne : Congratulations.

  Lex Luthor : This is your project, too, you know.

  Bruce Wayne : Well, I'm proud of the work both our teams have done. These robots are going to revolutionize unmanned space travel.

  Lex Luthor : Actually, there may be a use for them closer to home. The Joint Chiefs have shown tremendous interest. It doesn't take much imagination to envision these robots on the battlefield.

  Bruce Wayne : Except... I won't allow it.

  Lex Luthor : What?

  Bruce Wayne : I don't like guns.

  Lex Luthor : Well, Bruce, I think I have something to say about this.

  Bruce Wayne : Not according to our deal. All technological applications need my approval first. Blame it on me, Lex. Tell your pals at the Pentagon I just don't have the imagination.

• Batman : Where's the Joker?

  Binko : Who knows? Making ha-ha with Harley Quinn.

  [Batman applies pressure around his throat] 

  Binko : I don't know, honest! I never went back after he muscled in. I don't want nothing to do with that clown.

  Superman : That's enough. I think you got your answer.

  [Batman throws him across the room] 

  Superman : [getting up and knocking him over]  I heard you were crazy. I didn't think you were stupid.

  [using his x-ray vision on Batman's cowl] 

  Superman : Bruce Wayne?

  Batman : You peeked.

• Detective Bullock : It's weird. All this junk, and the Joker only takes one lousy statue.

  Commissioner Jim Gordon : Especially since word on the street says he's desperate for cash these days.

  Batman : Things are never what they seem with the Joker.

  Detective Bullock : I guess the night brings out all the wackos.

  Commissioner Jim Gordon : [Batman takes a small sliver from the statue base]  It was made of jade, worth maybe a hundred grand.

  Batman : I'd like a closer look.

  Detective Bullock : Hey! He can't leave a crime scene with evidence.

  Commissioner Jim Gordon : You want to stop him, be my guest.

• Batman : It's been a long time, Binko. I heard your boss Carlini's been replaced. We need to talk.

• Bruce Wayne : So he just appears when there's trouble? No special signal?

  Lois Lane : He's not like your Batman, thank goodness.

  Bruce Wayne : Then how do you contact him?

  Lois Lane : Committing a felony helps. Listen, you seem awfully interested in Superman. Do you want me to fix you two up?

  Bruce Wayne : Sorry.

  Lois Lane : No, I'm sorry. It's just that I was hoping to get away from the subject of the Man of Steel for one night. I've been a little too consumed with him lately.

  Bruce Wayne : Maybe we could change subjects.

  Lois Lane : [being led to the dance floor]  No more men in tights?

  Bruce Wayne : Deal.

• Alfred : According to this, the Laughing Dragon has earned quite a foreboding reputation. Ever since it was carved in China nearly 30 years ago, it has passed through several owners, all of whom died prematurely.

  Batman : And I can tell you why. This so-called jade is emitting low-level radiation. Alfred, isn't Bruce Wayne about due for a trip to Metropolis?

  Alfred : Yes, but do you think this is an appropriate time?

  Batman : I'd say the timing couldn't be better.

• Bruce Wayne : Aren't you the famous Lois Lane?

  Lois Lane : Me, famous? Well, hardly. I mean... this is Clark Kent.

  Clark Kent : [offering a handshake]  Mr. Wayne.

  Bruce Wayne : [helping Lois pick up her dropped belongings instead]  I read all about your adventure on Air Force One. You're quite the newsmaker.

  Lois Lane : No more than you. Which brings up the question of why you're in town.

  Mercy Graves : Mr. Wayne, your car.

  Bruce Wayne : Maybe we can discuss it over dinner, if you're available.

  Lois Lane : Totally. I... I mean, I think so. I'll have to check my cal... y-yes.

  Bruce Wayne : Great. I'll pick you up at 8:00.
