Loren Lester: Robin, Dick Grayson

Quotes 

• [last lines; after Bruce explains how he escaped] 

  Dick Grayson : [chuckles]  Nice going, Bruce. Man, I'd have never thought of that.

  Bruce Wayne : Neither would the Riddler.

  [cut to the Riddler, who is back in Arkham] 

  The Riddler : It's impossible, I tell you! Impossible! My trap was perfect! HOW DID HE DO IT? I have to know! Somebody tell me! It's not fair! There was no way, I tell you! No way he could have gotten out! Somebody tell me! Do you hear me? SOMEBODY TELL ME HOW HE DID IT! I have to know! I HAVE TO KNO-O-O-O-OW!

• Robin : It's after 10:00. He should've been here by now. You know, maybe we're reading into this thing. Maybe he wasn't sending a riddle at all.

  Batman : [remembering Riddler's commercial]  He flipped it over.

  Robin : What?

  Batman : The number. He flipped it upside down when he turned the chalkboard over.

  Robin : "10 Leslie"?

  Batman : It's an address.

  Robin : We're in the wrong place.

• The Riddler : Hey, folks, wouldn't it be great to be a kid again, enjoying all those wonderful moments of childhood with your favorite toys?

  [taking a toy away from a child] 

  The Riddler : Not like that. You'll break it.

  [clearing his throat] 

  The Riddler : Yes. Well, you can recapture your childhood with Wacko Toys. All you have to do is pick up one of the Riddler's puzzles at your favorite store, then go back to where it all started... with toys. Come on. Be a kid again.

  Bruce Wayne : [turning the TV off]  He's going to hit the Gotham Convention Center.

  Dick Grayson : How did you figure that?

  Bruce Wayne : Because of the clue he's deliberately giving me.

  Dick Grayson : What clue?

  Bruce Wayne : He said "Go back to where it started... with toys."

  Dick Grayson : The toy fair.

• Batman : Up to your old tricks already, huh, Nygma?

  The Riddler : Whatever are you talking about, Batman?

  Robin : [indicating the box on which Riddler is sitting]  The last time you delivered one of these, it almost killed Commissioner Gordon.

  The Riddler : What's your point?

  Batman : What's in the box?

  The Riddler : None of your business.

  Batman : I'm making it my business.

• Charles Baxter : What are you doing here?

  Robin : Don't worry, sir. We've got him. His name is Edward Nygma, otherwise known as the Riddler.

  Charles Baxter : I know who he is, you young fool.

  The Riddler : It's all right, C.B. These are two old friends of mine. Before you louts sink your fists into me, I'd like you to meet my new partner: Charles Baxter, president of the multimillion-dollar Wacko Toy Corporation and the man who has licensed my Riddler persona and my exclusive puzzle technology for his new line of toys.

  [as he kicks the box, it opens] 

  The Riddler : We're going to make a killing.

  Robin : That's what I'm afraid of.

• Bruce Wayne : [to Dick and Alfred at Wayne Manor after Riddler's arrest]  His accomplices plea bargained immediately, told the police where all the stolen goods were, and even agreed to testify against Nygma.

  Dick Grayson : But what I don't get is, how did you escape from that explosion?

  Bruce Wayne : [pauses]  Well,

  [flashback to Batman at the Gotham Convention Centre] 

  Bruce Wayne : all the exits were blocked,

  [Batman watches the doors and windows get sealed with heavy metal doors and looks up at Riddler's bomb on the ceiling] 

  Bruce Wayne : and I was out of time. There was only one thing to do.

  [Batman runs to a nearby safe and jumps inside it] 

  Bruce Wayne : I jumped inside the safe.

  [Batman closes the safe door, just as the building explodes]
