- Mary McGinnis: You never told me you knew Bruce Wayne.
- Terry McGinnis: Well, actually, uh...
- Bruce Wayne: Why, I owe this boy my life. He defended me against a bunch of hooligans once. I tried to reward him, but he absolutely refused.
- Mary McGinnis: Mr. Wayne wants to offer you a job.
- Terry McGinnis: A job?
- Bruce Wayne: It's not much, mind you. I find that my old age, I could use a part-time assistant; you know, a gofer. Go for this, go for that. An ally, as it were. Would you be interested?
- Doctor: The good news is the radiation seems to have completely eradicated the virus.
- Derek Powers: What's the bad news?
- Doctor: As you know, the mutational properties of the virus can by corrupted by its environment.
- [Powers grabs him]
- Doctor: Unh!
- Derek Powers: Bottom-line it, Doctor.
- Doctor: Kill the radiation, please.
- [as the radiation is turned off, Powers starts laughing maniacally as he sees himself with a radioactive glow]
- Terry McGinnis: You built that company. And now Powers is making nerve-gas there. You gotta do something. You're Batman.
- Bruce Wayne: I WAS Batman.
- Derek Powers: Hello, Terry. Ever had a ride in a limo?
- Terry McGinnis: My dad always told me to never take rides from strangers.
- Derek Powers: Who's a stranger? Besides, your dad's not around anymore. Be smart, Terry. Get in.
- Terry McGinnis: I'll pass.
- [Mr. Fixx grabs him and frisks him]
- Terry McGinnis: Let go of me! What are you doing? You some kind of sicko? Help! Help!
- Derek Powers: That won't do you any good, Terry. Why don't you make it easy on yourself and give me back my disc?
- Terry McGinnis: What disc?
- Derek Powers: You know what I'm talking about.
- Terry McGinnis: All right. If he lets go.
- [Fixx lets go, and he takes it out of his shoe]
- Terry McGinnis: Happy?
- [he throws it away, knees Fixx in the stomach, and flees, dodging gunfire from Powers' bodyguard]
- Derek Powers: Enough. Well, at least I've got the evidence.
- Bruce Wayne: McGinnis, I gave you a break. Now bring that suit back.
- Batman: Love to, but I got these guards all over me.
- Bruce Wayne: There's a broom closet on the north wall. Can you get to it?
- Batman: A broom closet?
- Bruce Wayne: Do it!
- Batman: [ducking inside] Now I'm a sitting duck. Hope you're happy.
- Bruce Wayne: The far wall, put your hand against it. Press hard.
- Batman: [doing so, he passes through a secret entrance] Cool.
- Derek Powers: Mr. Fixx, any word on the kid?
- Mr. Fixx: Not yet, but they're looking.
- Derek Powers: I don't have to tell you how important this deal is to Wayne-Powers. It's going to open up the entire Eastern Bloc for us, so I don't need it spoiled by a snot-nosed punk.
- Mr. Fixx: I took care of his old man, didn't I?
- Derek Powers: It's the ultimate in germ warfare. A viral mutagen so quick-acting and completely invasive, no living cell can resist it. It all began with experiments on plants.
- Vilmos Egans: [watching a demonstration] Impressive. But we are looking to do more than wipe out our enemies' crops, Mr. Powers.
- Derek Powers: Keep watching. This was our first experiment with livestock. I trust the film puts to rest any lingering doubts, Mr. Egans. As you can see, the results are the same, even with animals.
- Vilmos Egans: And humans? You've tested it on them, too?
- Derek Powers: The laws here aren't as liberal about that sort of thing as they are in your country, but we did have a little accident; one of my workers. Terrible thing. There was a gas leak in his lab.
- [showing him pictures of Harry Tully]
- Derek Powers: This is what he looked like the next day. Two hours later. An hour after that.
- Vilmos Egans: There is no cure?
- Derek Powers: Extreme heat or radiation, but at this stage, it's obviously not an option.
- [showing him another picture]
- Derek Powers: Dust to dust. Consider what a real dose of this gas could do to those six armored divisions your neighbors keep on your border. Gone... in a matter of hours.
- Vilmos Egans: Delivery, it's in progress?
- Derek Powers: My men are loading the canisters as we speak. They leave tonight on hover transport. My assistant, Mr. Fixx, will personally supervise the shipment.
- Vilmos Egans: Excellent. Goodbye, Mr. Powers. I will see you again soon. I hope.
- Bruce Wayne: Stay away from that.
- Terry McGinnis: [admiring the Batsuit] Synaptic controls, neuromuscular amplification, flight capability. Hmph. This thing might be old, but it's still cutting-edge. Bet it amplifies your strength by at least ten to one.
- Bruce Wayne: I told you not to touch it.
- Mary McGinnis: [serving Bruce coffee] I hope you don't mind milk. We're out of cream.
- Bruce Wayne: I prefer it.
- Bruce Wayne: McGinnis. Can you hear me?
- Batman: Who... who's that?
- Bruce Wayne: It's Wayne.
- Batman: Mr. Wayne? W-Where are you?
- Bruce Wayne: There's a radio receiver in your cowl. Now listen to me, McGinnis. I want that suit back, and I want it now.
- Batman: Uh, now's not a good time.
- Bruce Wayne: That suit is not yours. You had no right!
- Batman: Somebody had to do something, and you sure weren't about to.
- Bruce Wayne: I'm warning you.
- Batman: This suit works even better than I thought it would.
- Bruce Wayne: This is your last chance. Better take it.
- Batman: No, thanks. Having too much fun.
- Bruce Wayne: Fun, huh?
- Guard: [Batman beckons for them to bring it] He's mine!
- Batman: [Bruce presses a button, and the suit power fritzes] Hey... I can't move. What'd you do?
- Bruce Wayne: It's a failsafe device; paralyzes the suit in case the wrong person gets into it.
- Batman: But you can't.
- Bruce Wayne: I just did.
- Batman: Hey... hey!
- [the guards start to whale on him]
- Batman: Come on. You gotta help me.
- Guard: Out of the way.
- Batman: [the guard aims his gun at him] Wayne, they're gonna kill me.
- [the suit's power returns]
- Batman: Yeah!
- Batman: Powers is shipping out the virus tonight. It's gotta be stopped.
- Bruce Wayne: I'll call the police. Let them handle it.
- Batman: I can do it!
- Bruce Wayne: I'll shut down the suit again, and this time, it'll be for good.
- Batman: I read up on you, Mr. Wayne. I know how you lost your folks. The guy who murdered my dad is on that transport. This is my one chance to nail him.
- Bruce Wayne: [after a moment] The hover pads are in the northeast sector.
- Batman: Wish me luck.
- Bruce Wayne: Good luck.
- Bruce Wayne: I should warn you, I can be a difficult taskmaster. I accept nothing short of excellence in all who work for me.
- Terry McGinnis: I think I can handle it.
- Bruce Wayne: Very good then, Mr. McGinnis. Welcome to my world.
