Kevin Conroy: Batman

Quotes 

• Dick Grayson : Man, if I spent any more time in that immersion tank, I'd be growing gills.

  Bruce Wayne : I'm just glad I was able to get you back here in time.

  Dick Grayson : Thanks. For a while, I thought I'd wind up like Walker, trapped in an ice cube forever. What about Mr. Freeze? Do you think he's gone for good?

  Bruce Wayne : I'm not sure. But if Freeze's condition has made him truly immortal... we may not have seen the last of him.

• [Walker reveals his plan for "Oceania", a utopia ruled by him while the rest of the world is frozen] 

  Grant Walker : My world will have no crime, violence, or pain.

  Robin : You can add free will to that list, too!

  Grant Walker : A small price to pay for order.

  Batman : Your order, for your select few!

  Grant Walker : Excuse me, but I fail to see the problem with that.

• Batman : Freeze, I don't know what Walker said or promised you, but you can't help him go through with this plan.

  Mr. Freeze : [taking aim with his cold gun]  I have no choice.

• Robin : I still don't see why a theme park mogul would kidnap Mr. Freeze.

  Batman : Men like Walker are obsessed with getting their own way, and they don't let little things like the law stop them.

• Robin : You gotta give Mr. Freeze credit. That's the most original breakout this year.

  Batman : Yes, but I don't think he was behind it. Look at the expression of fear on his face. That's not easy to fake, especially for a man claiming to be dead to emotions. Freeze was taken against his will, and obviously by someone with expertise in robotics.

  Robin : Then maybe we'd better consult our own robot expert.

• Grant Walker : Every time I open a park, I get gate-crashers.

  Batman : We've seen your insane vision of the future, Walker.

• Grant Walker : Welcome, friends. Thanks to all our hard work, Oceana's nearly up and running. Now, while most folks believe Oceana's just another theme park, we know better. Fact of the matter is, it's not too nice out there anymore. Crime, hatred, violence; things keep going on like that, it could mean the end of civilization. That's why I decided to build a city where good folks can leave in peace, a new Garden of Eden, you might say, from which a new race of people can spring. Now, of course, you can't have spring without a little winter. About five years of it, I'd say. Now, don't anybody worry. We'll all be warm as toast in here. As for those folks outside, well, it's sad, but I'm only speeding up what they were doing to themselves.

  Robin : Brother. He's all heart, isn't he?

  Batman : Walker's a madman.

• Batman : Let's go.

  Mr. Freeze : I am staying with Nora.

  Batman : Don't be a fool. This whole place is going under.

  Mr. Freeze : I won't lose her again.

  Batman : [tying him up]  There's nothing you can do for her. Come with us.

  Mr. Freeze : [breaking free]  I am the least of your worries.

  Batman : [Freeze shoots Robin with his cold gun]  Robin!

  Mr. Freeze : Take the boy and go.

• Batman : You can't let Walker do this. Billions of people will perish.

  Mr. Freeze : That's not my concern. All that matters is I once again have my wife and the means to restore her.

  Batman : She'll wake up in a dead, frozen world that you helped destroy. She'll hate you for that.

  Mr. Freeze : Silence.

  Batman : You think you're alone now? Wait until she learns the truth.

  Mr. Freeze : I said silence!

  [he shoots Batman and Robin with his cold gun; looking at Nora, he furrows his brow in sorrow] 

  Mr. Freeze : Forgive me.

  [breaking Batman and Robin free] 

  Mr. Freeze : Come. There is much to do.

• Robin : [after the Batboat is torpedoed]  Looks like we're swimming home.

  Batman : Not before we have a talk with Mr. Walker.

• Batman : Cute toy, Karl.

  Dr. Karl Rossum : You know I'm out of the robot business, Batman. All I make anymore are little friends to keep me company.

  Robin : [showing him a drawing]  Like tiny here?

  Dr. Karl Rossum : Well, if it isn't old M-9.

  Batman : It's one of yours?

  Dr. Karl Rossum : Not really. I once created a smaller prototype for Grant Walker.

  Robin : The guy who builds those theme parks?

  Dr. Karl Rossum : Yeah. I was one of Walker's original visioneers, constructing and programming the animatronic figures he used in his park attractions. Though it looks like old Grant's boys pumped up the design a bit.

  Batman : I'm wondering how improved these robots are and why one of them was sent to kidnap Mr. Freeze.
