Quotes 

• Batman : I fixed your pets, Doc! Now it's just you and me! So why not come out and fight me, man to freak show?

• Batman : Look, wonder-dog, I don't like you, and you don't like me, but how 'bout cuttin' me a break this one time? Bad guy. You find, me stop. Got it?

• Barbara Gordon : Listen to experience, kid. I appreciate what you've done tonight, but ditch the costume. You can't live a life of narrow escapes forever. It's a thankless existence, and the rewards are small, if any.

  Terry McGinnis : [petting Ace]  Well, sometimes the small rewards are the best ones.

• [Batman has just shot Tigress with mutigen antidote, transmuting her back to normal] 

  Ramrod : What did you do to her?

  Batman : Let's just say I put the cat out.

  Ramrod : No! I'm never going back to being a nobody! You hear me?

  [Batman pulls the trigger on the antidote gun and then sees that it's empty, Ramrod charges at him, Batman grabs him by his nose ring and throws him into a wall, he tosses the nose ring aside and reloads his gun] 

  Batman : Have a dose of reality, pal. You need it!

  [Shoots him with the antidote, turning him to his normal self] 

• Terry McGinnis : [regains consciousness after being hit with mutagen antidote, then sees Ace growling at him]  Nice to see you, too.

  Bruce Wayne : Can't say I blame him, you roughed us up before I could cure you.

  Terry McGinnis : Cure me? Cuvier! He spliced me in his lab.

  Bruce Wayne : With a massive overdose of vampire bat serum.

  [Terry looks in shock for a moment at the parts of his suit that he ripped through when the mutagen fully took effect] 

  Bruce Wayne : I figured we would be needing a new supply of the mutagen antidote, but it was sooner than I expected.

  Terry McGinnis : Thanks.

• Matt McGinnis : Terry doesn't need splicing, mom, 'cause he's already a donkey! Hee-haw!

  [laughs; Terry lunges at him] 

  Matt McGinnis : Huh!

  Terry McGinnis : You're lucky I'm late for school, twip.

• Ramrod : [charges into a TV and breaks the screen]  How's that for breaking news?

  King Cobra : Nobody can stop splicing. It's the future, whether you stinking, scared norms like it or not.

  Terry McGinnis : How about not, snake-boy?

  Ramrod : Listen, norm, don't even think about dissing us.

  Terry McGinnis : Go chew a can.

  [an angry Ramrod charges at Terry, who soon after overthrows him and King Cobra, the others applaud] 

  Terry McGinnis : So will you petting zoo rejects be needing a doctor?... Or a vet?

  Ramrod : Your time will come, norm. You'll see... you'll all see!

  [Runs off along with King Cobra] 

• Batman : Good bad dog.

• Dr. Emil Cuvier : Look at me! The abilities of the entire animal kingdom are at my command! What can one blind little bat do against that?

  Batman : The best I can!

• Batman : Don't touch my dog!

• Batman : What did you just do to me, Cuvier?

  Dr. Abel Cuvier : Why, you've been spliced, of course. With a little something I prepared just in case Gotham's self-appointed defender ever fluttered into my business. You see, splicing isn't just style, Batman. It's lifestyle, something that will literally change the world.

  Batman : Have you considered checking into Arkham for a little R&R, doc? Because, quite frankly, you're nuts.

  Dr. Abel Cuvier : You're welcome to your opinions for the short time you'll be human enough to have them.

• Matt McGinnis : [wearing a Wolf Man costume, he scares Terry as he wakes up]  Gotcha! Gotcha good!

  Terry McGinnis : You are so dead, Matt.

• Terry McGinnis : Cuvier will be deadlier than ever now that he's being hunted.

  [spotting something on Terry's suit] 

  Bruce Wayne : What's this? Hmm.

  Terry McGinnis : One of Cuvier's claws. Too bad we can't use it to find him.

  Bruce Wayne : [looking down at Ace]  *We* can't.

• Batman : Call your freaks off D.A. Young, or so help me, I'll..

  [he groans in pain as he begins to feel the effects of the splicing] 

  Dr. Abel Cuvier : Tsk, tsk, tsk. What's the matter, Batman? Not feeling quite yourself? Don't worry about the D.A. He's dead meat.

  [expanding the size of his claws] 

  Dr. Abel Cuvier : And so are you.

  [he clobbers Batman several times; seeing a chance to escape, Batman flies up through a glass roof] 

  Dr. Abel Cuvier : It won't matter! It's too late for you to save Young or yourself!

• Batman : Cuvier?

  Dr. Emil Cuvier : [Cuvier appears, spliced with tiger, hawk and snake]  No longer, Batman. Now you face a true chimera

  [Grabs Batman by the leg] 

  Dr. Emil Cuvier : You bring out the beast in me!

• Dr. Emil Cuvier : I want to assure everyone that splicing is safe, reversible, and more importantly, utterly beautiful. I was the first test subject, and as you can see, I'm perfectly fine.

  Terry McGinnis : Perfectly creepy is more like it.
