- Thomas Wayne: [Batman is hallucinating and thinks sees his father] You are a disgrace.
- Batman: No! No! You are not my father! I am not a disgrace! I am vengeance! I am the night! I am BATMAN!
- Alfred Pennyworth: Imagine that, sir.
- Bruce Wayne: What?
- Alfred Pennyworth: Someone dressed up in a frightening costume running around scaring people. What will they think of next?
- Bruce Wayne: The question is, why would Scarecrow want to destroy the university?
- Alfred Pennyworth: Perhaps he flunked phys. ed. Are you all right, sir?
- Bruce Wayne: The Scarecrow drugged me with some kind of fear toxin. I never know when it's gonna hit me. I'm having horrible visions of my father. He says I'm shaming the family name.
- Alfred Pennyworth: That's rubbish. I know your father would be proud of you because... I'm so proud of you.
- Scarecrow: I might have underestimated the Batman, but at least the university is finished.
- Anthony: You know, boss, I always hated school, but, how come you hate the university so much?
- Scarecrow: They tried to destroy me.
- Nigel: You mean they kicked you out because you weren't smart enough?
- Scarecrow: No, you simpleton!
- [Squeezes Nigel's nose]
- Nigel: Ow!
- Scarecrow: I taught there. I was a professor of psychology, specializing in phobias. Inducing terror has always intrigued me. Even, as a boy, I liked to frighten things. People, animals, it was all the same. I became obsessed with fear's crippling power. Later, when I became their leading professor of subliminal psychology at the university, I began performing experiments on fear and its subsequent effects. Dr. Long thought I went too far. He called me a lunatic. So now, they will learn the true nature of horror!
- Anthony: Wow, he's a good professor.
- Dr. Long: Your father and I attended university together. He had big plans for you.
- Bruce Wayne: Well, I guess he'd be pleased. Wayne Industries is more prosperous than ever.
- Dr. Long: Pleased? When your father was alive, Wayne was a name that commanded great respect. Now all Wayne stands for is a self-centered jet-setting playboy. It's lucky your father didn't live to see what you've done to his good name. He'd have died of shame.
- Commissioner James Gordon: Bullock! What the blazes is going on here?
- Det. Harvey Bullock: Blaze is right, Commissioner. It's attempted arson. Zorro here is withholding evide -
- [Bullock turns around and Batman is gone]
- Det. Harvey Bullock: Where the...?
- Commissioner James Gordon: You were saying?
- Det. Harvey Bullock: [throwing his hat to the ground] Ahh... Never mind!
- Det. Harvey Bullock: Look at the facts, Commissioner! Batman is withholding evidence! Even helped the Scarecrow guy escape! I bet my badge he and Scarecrow are cahoots!
- Commissioner James Gordon: Your badge, eh?
- [points at the fan in his office]
- Det. Harvey Bullock: [notices Scarecrow hanging from it with a note left by Batman] UH?
- Commissioner James Gordon: Now, about that badge...
