Martin Warren: And if I refuse?
Dr. Tito Daka aka Prince Daka: You have no choice but to accept. You will work with us or be compelled to work for us. Therefore it should be very plain to you that you should be willing to help serve my glorious emporer.
Martin Warren: Listen, Daka, or whatever your name is, I owe my allegience to no country or order but my own. I am an American first and always, and no amount of torture conceived by your twisted Oriental brain will make me change my mind.

Richard Grayson: [referring to Linda] You're liable to carry that masquerade too far.
Bruce Wayne: Think so?
Richard Grayson: Yes, I do. Why don't you let her know who you really are instead of letting her think you're just a good-for-nothing playboy?
Bruce Wayne: Well, if she knew I was the Batman, she might worry - not that she cares anything about me. Besides, on account of special assignment from Uncle Sam, our success depends on keeping our ability to keep our identity a secret.
Richard Grayson: And suppose she asks about your status in the army?
Bruce Wayne: Oh, I'm only still a 4-F.

[first lines]
Narrator: High atop one of the hills which ring the teaming metropolis of Gotham City, a large house rears its bulk against the dark sky. Outwardly there's nothing to distinguish this house from many others, but deep in the cavernous basements of this house is a chamber hewn from the living rock of the mountainside, strange, dimly lighted, mysteriously secret bat cave headquarters of America's #1 crimefighter, Batman! Yes, Batman, clad in the somber costume which has struck terror to the heart of many swaggering denizens of the Underworld. Batman, who is even now pondering a plan of a new assault against the forces of crime, a crushing blow against evil, in which he will have the valuable aid of his young, two-fisted assistant, Robin, the Boy Wonder. They represent American youth who love their country and are glad to fight for it, whereever crime raises its ugly head to strike with the venom of a maddened rattlesnake. Batman and Robin strike also, and in this very hour when the Axis criminals are spreading their evil over the world, even in our own land, Batman and Robin stand ready to fight them to the death.
