Quotes 

• [Robin throws a batarang around Batman, tying him up] 

  Batman : This isn't a time for games. Now, untie me.

  Robin : It's no game. You're out of control.

  Batman : You don't know what you're talking about.

  Robin : That gas has affected you more than you think.

  Batman : I told you I can handle it.

  Robin : You can't! You're not even afraid to kill. I'll be back for you as soon as I can.

  Batman : Robin, It's hard for me to say this, but you did the right thing. I was out of control, and you've made me see that.

  Robin : I did what I had to.

  Batman : What now?

  Robin : I've got to stop The Scarecrow.

  Batman : I can help you. I know him.

  Robin : But...

  Batman : Don't worry, you'll be the boss on this one.

  Robin : ...You almost fooled me.

  [Starts to walk away] 

  Batman : Untie me, you little... UNTIE ME!

• Batman : Where's the gas?

  Guru : Go ahead. Throw me in jail. It won't do you any good.

  Batman : Who said anything about jail?

  [Batman throws the Guru out the window, rope tied around his legs, leaving his dangling outside the building] 

  Robin : Batman!

  Batman : Quiet.

  Guru : [Whimperng]  Help!

  Batman : You didn't answer my question.

  Guru : I-I can't! He'll kill me!

  Batman : Death is death. Does it matter who administers it?

  Robin : You're not really gonna - ?

  Guru : No. No! No!

  Batman : My question, remember?

  Guru : He-he took the gas down to the 72nd Street subway station.

  Batman : Why?

  Guru : He's gonna fill the tunnels with it.

  Batman : Just in time for rush hour.

• The Scarecrow : This message is for the mayor. You'll soon see what Gotham City will be like without fear. And it won't be pretty. Fear is the glue that holds society together. It's what makes people suppress their worst impulses. Fear is power. And today it will also be quite expensive... if you want the antidote.

  [Robin knocks the inhaler out of his hand with a Batarang, then lands on him as he's doubled over] 

  Robin : [brandishing a pair of handcuffs]  You're not getting anything from anyone except this.

  [one of Scarecrow's thugs hits him on the head] 

  Robin : Ugh!

  The Scarecrow : Get him off me!

• Robin : Um, last night, when I tied you up, I didn't mean...

  Batman : Don't apologize. You were right.

  Robin : Yeah, but... it was kind of scary.

  Batman : A little fear is a good thing.

• Robin : This gas that takes away your fear, by any chance, did you breathe it?

  Batman : Yes, but I can handle it.

  Robin : [thrown around as the Batplane banks]  Oh, yeah?

• Bruce Wayne : Playing hooky?

  Tim Drake : It's summer vacation. How do you forget that?

  [seeing Bruce's stoic stare] 

  Tim Drake : Never mind. I forgot who I was talking to.

• Robin : You gonna tell me what's going on?

  Batman : It's the Scarecrow. He's developed a gas that takes away people's fear.

  Robin : No more fear? Cool!

  Batman : The man on the ledge last night, the one in my office... imagine a whole city like that.

  Robin : I see your point.

• Robin : [seeing Batman choking Scarecrow]  You can't!

  Batman : [knocking him away]  Watch me.

  [spotting the antidote, Robin sprays it in his face; letting Scarecrow go, Batman goes to the train controls] 

  Batman : I can't stop it. You're gonna have to jump.

  Robin : What about Scarecrow?

  Batman : I'll take care of him.

  [Robin is alarmed] 

  Batman : I'll get him off the train.
