Quotes 

• Chief O'Hara : Look! Up there! Are they birds?

  Commissioner Gordon : Are they planes?

  Batman : No, they're cat-burglars! Quickly, to the elevators!

• Batman : Oh, better put five cents in the meter.

  Robin : No policeman is going to give the Batmobile a ticket!

  Batman : No matter, Robin - this money goes to our building better roads. We all must do our part. Good citizenship, you know.

  Robin : Holy taxation! You're right again, Batman.

• Robin : [Catwoman's "getaway rocket" won't start]  You can't get away from Batman that easy!

  Batman : Easily.

  Robin : [nods]  Easily.

  Batman : Good grammar is essential, Robin.

  Robin : Thank you, Batman.

  Batman : You're welcome. Now, let's get them!

• Batman : She's put the elevators out of commission, Commissioner!

• Robin : That was the closest call we've ever had, Batman. I have to admit, I was scared.

  Batman : I had no fear whatsoever, Robin.

  Robin : You didn't?

  Batman : Not a bit. Haven't you noticed how we always manage to escape the vicious ensnarements of our underhanded opponents? Don't you know why?

  Robin : Because we're smarter than they are.

  Batman : I prefer to believe it's because our hearts are pure.

• Batman : Catwoman's up there, and she's about to make off with a bundle if we let her.

  Commissioner Gordon : But Batman, we still don't know what she's stealing.

  Batman : Eight pieces of catgut.

  Chief O'Hara : How much could they be worth?

  Batman : Plenty! They're attached to two Stradivarius violins. Each one is being sold today for a quarter of a million dollars.

• Chief O'Hara : I, I'll take me men and we'll run up the 102 flights of stairs.

  Batman : I don't have time for that!

• Catwoman : How can I ever combat you again after all you've done for me?

  Batman : Let's hope it never comes to that, Catwoman, because, in the end, veracity and rectitude always triumph.

  Catwoman : Batman, are you spoken for?

  Batman : Hmm?

  Catwoman : Married, engaged or going steady?

  Batman : My crime-fighting leaves me little time for social engagements.

  Catwoman : Boy, have I got a girl for you.

• [last lines] 

  Robin : I wonder if we've seen the end of her.

  Batman : I wouldn't hazard a guess, Robin.

  Commissioner Gordon : Why, Batman, are you blushing?

  Batman : It's the... heat of the day, Commissioner. Unseasonably warm, don't you think?
