Kevin Conroy: Batman, Bruce Wayne

Quotes 

• Catwoman : After what I just did for you, you don't trust me?

  Batman : I might have been knocked out twice tonight, but I still have my long-term memory.

• Catwoman : [Batman unexpectedly finds Catwoman napping in his Batmobile]  About time you got here.

  Batman : Let me guess. You needed a warm place to spend the night.

  Catwoman : Kind of.

  Batman : I know of one. Jail.

• Catwoman : [about the Cat Cultists]  And you can't get rid of them. They're like old boyfriends or warts.

  Batman : And you figured I'd save your skin.

  Catwoman : That's what you do, isn't it?

  Batman : Normally, but it'll cost you.

  Catwoman : Mmm. What do you have in mind?

  Batman : Everything you've ever stolen. It all goes back to the owners.

  Catwoman : You're crazy. That's my life's work you're talking about.

  Batman : All right, then.

  [Batman slows down the Batmobile, allowing the Cultists to catch up] 

  Catwoman : We got a deal. Drive!

• Batman : It's some kind of cult.

  Catwoman : Some detective. I could have told you that.

  Batman : It began in ancient Egypt. The cult worshiped cats, and one of their holiest rites was theft.

  Catwoman : Wait a minute. Cat worship? Theft? Those guys should be praying to me.

  Batman : Not likely.

• Batman : Tell me where Catwoman is?

  Martin : Wh-Where are you?

  Batman : Wrong answer. You're fond of cats, aren't you? Maybe you'll like my favorite animal.

  [Unleashed a colony of bats towards Martin] 

• Batman : Selina, where does this lead?

  Catwoman : Never mind. Just hurry.

  Batman : [getting in]  Where are we?

  Catwoman : The furnace.

  [pointing to a hole in the roof] 

  Catwoman : And there's your exit.

  [he fires his grappling gun, then holds out his hand] 

  Catwoman : I have my own, thanks.

  Batman : [she starts climbing the wall with her claws]  Not exactly the easiest way out.

  Catwoman : Yeah, but it'll never occur to those idiots.

• Batman : This man, Thomas Blake, he's their leader. A major-league psycho, lives for revenge.

  Catwoman : Kinda cute.

  Batman : You're in over your head this time, Selina. Way over.

  Catwoman : [dismissively]  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• Thomas Blake : [holding Batman's utility belt]  Looking for this? I wanted to make sure the odds would be fair.

  [something growls] 

  Thomas Blake : He's anxious to meet you.

  Batman : One of your cats?

  Thomas Blake : For you, Batman, our ultimate cat. Our geneticists have been working on this project for years. You're about to see what some judicious gene-splicing can do.

• Catwoman : Hmph. Same old self-righteous stiff.

  Batman : It doesn't look like you've changed much either, Selina.

  Catwoman : But I have. I've been through a lot in the last month, and I can tell you that jail's not the place for me. I wouldn't be safe there.

  Batman : Safe from what?

  Catwoman : [gunfire]  Next question?

• Batman : The cat will go to Gotham Zoo?

  Commissioner James Gordon : I expect. I'd like to see those cultists in the tiger cage, too, but the law says they're entitled to a trial.

  Batman : You've got plenty of stolen goods in there for evidence.

  Commissioner James Gordon : There's enough to convict them. But it's not as much as you'd expect.

  Batman : [suspiciously]  Oh?

• Catwoman : What are you doing here?

  Batman : What do you think? Now, come on.

  Catwoman : Uh, I appreciate the effort. But I've got everything under control. Really.

  Batman : Then what are you still doing here?

  Catwoman : I, uh...

  Batman : [seeing her pillowcase of items she's stealing]  I don't believe it. You're going to try to steal from them again, aren't you?

  Catwoman : I see it more like teaching them a lesson.

  Batman : You're the one who needs to learn something. These people are too dangerous.

  Catwoman : [jumping onto the bed]  Hmph.

  Batman : Even for Catwoman.

  Catwoman : [he holds out a pair of handcuffs]  What's that for?

  Batman : You, unless you come to your senses.
