Quotes 

• Ra's al Ghul : You're foolish to have come here, detective. Give me the staff.

  Batman : I think you've had your workout for today.

• Batman : I'm only going to ask once. Where's Ra's al Ghul?

• Alfred : I have the spectroanalysis results on those samples you've transmitted, sir.

  Batman : And?

  Alfred : As you suspected, jet fuel. The kind commonly used for private planes.

• Superman : [Batman helps stop a runaway train]  Just happened to be in the neighborhood?

  Batman : [taking a tracking device off a hechman]  Do you have any idea who they are? The Society of Shadows. I've been trailing them for weeks, hoping they'd lead me to Ra's al Ghul.

  Superman : Who?

  Batman : A criminal mastermind. More dangerous than the Joker and Luthor put together.

  Superman : All I know is they were breaking the law in my town.

  Batman : Leave it to you to charge in with both arms swinging.

  Superman : If you were going to operate in Metropolis, you should have filled me in.

  Batman : Next time, I'll fax my itinerary.

  Superman : I mean it. I'd like to help.

• Superman : I see an underground river, but there's no sign of them. Alive or dead. I'm guessing you and that woman Talia had some history.

  Batman : Pretty much in line with all my other relationships. I have to admit, it was clever using Ra's' devotion to his daughter to stop him.

  Superman : Well, I thought as long as I couldn't charge in with both arms swinging, I better use my head. You know, there might be something to this partnership business after all.

  Batman : Yeah, right.

• Superman : This is where they met?

  Batman : They're not coming back. Ra's is too smart to leave a trail. You said the only thing they took was the shaman's staff?

  Superman : Yes. It's one of the least valuable items. According to Professor Black Wing, it's supposed to have mystic healing powers. Maybe your mastermind isn't feeling well.

  Batman : He's usually in pretty good shape for a guy his age.

  Superman : [Batman finds tire tracks]  A bicycle?

  Batman : Or a wheelchair.

• Batman : Easy, Lois. It's me.

  Lois Lane : Bruce? It's been a while. I take it this isn't a social call.

  Batman : What happened here?

  Lois Lane : I'm not sure. Someone attacked me. A woman dressed in black.

  Batman : Talia.

  Lois Lane : Talia? On a first-name basis, are we? What do you think she was after?

  Batman : [opening her wardrobe]  Your clothes.

  Lois Lane : Excuse me?

  Batman : She needed to impersonate you to attract Superman.

  Lois Lane : Ha! She's gonna need more than that. Maybe my clothes and a nuclear disaster.

• Lois Lane : [Batman finds a clue on her apartment carpet]  And I just had it shampooed. Do you know how depressing it is to have to clean up after your assailant?

  Batman : I'm sorry.

  Lois Lane : Forget it. A little detergent and some elbow grease.

  Batman : I mean that we're meeting like this.

  Lois Lane : Hey, I was the one who said goodbye. Though I can't say I haven't had second thoughts. Actually, there's been several times when I almost picked up the phone. Maybe you felt the same...

  [seeing he's gone] 

  Lois Lane : ...way. I gotta get better locks.
