Quotes 

• Alfred Pennyworth : Indeed, Master Bruce, it does seem that with a bit more luck, you could have had him.

  Bruce Wayne : [spotting hairs on the Batman suit]  I think I got all of him I need.

• Batman : You couldn't leave it alone, could you, March? You've re-created the mutagen.

  Dr. March : Re-created it? I've refined it. At night, on my own, so the others wouldn't know. I still believe only a creature like a man-bat can survive the next evolutionary cataclysm. And it will; my new serum could be even more powerful than Kirk's.

  Batman : "Could be"? What do you mean?

  Dr. March : I needed to test it, but before I had the chance...

  Batman : You mean you haven't taken it?

  Dr. March : Of course not. The experimental batch was destroyed. I'll have to...

  Batman : Destroyed how?

  Dr. March : I'd been working through the night. I was just completing the final combination. Francine burst in. I was startled. You have to understand I was very tired. I accidentally dropped the beaker; the whole night's work ruined. Francine never guessed what I'd been doing. She even helped me clean up the mess; all that glass.

  [realizing] 

  Dr. March : Oh... oh, my Lord! Francine! The mutagen, it's in her bloodstream now. Oh, no!

  Batman : Is that what it's going to take, your daughter's life, before you end this insanity?

• Alfred Pennyworth : Trouble, Master Bruce?

  Batman : You could say that. Reports of a huge bat creature the size of a man. Remind you of anybody?

  Alfred Pennyworth : Present company excepted, indeed, sir, it does. I take it Dr. Langstrom has somehow become the man-bat again.

  Batman : It seems that way.

  Alfred Pennyworth : You don't suppose he's taking that formula of his again, do you?

  Batman : I don't know, but I know where I can find the answer.

• Batman : If you haven't been taking the formula again, what's all this?

  Dr. Kirk Langstrom : What do you think? I've been trying to clean up after you. Obviously, your so-called antidote didn't work. How could it have if I'm still transforming? Don't you get it yet, Batman? You failed.

  Batman : [taking a device out of his utility belt]  All right. Let's prove it. Give me your hand.

  Dr. Kirk Langstrom : What are you doing?

  Batman : A DNA sample. I'll run some tests. We'll see what the truth is.

• Dr. Kirk Langstrom : Francine's gone. She really left me. Not that I can blame her. Who wants to live with a monster?

  Batman : You're not a monster, Langstrom. Not anymore. My tests showed that the original antidote did work after all. I also got a sample of the creature's DNA, and after comparing them, I'm certain the monster is someone else; a new bat creature. We're both off the hook.

  Dr. Kirk Langstrom : But if it's not me, then...

  Batman : Let me worry about that. You've got other problems.

• Batman : I'm sick and tired of cleaning up after you, Langstrom.

  Dr. Kirk Langstrom : So, people have spotted it?

  Batman : Yes. You must have some kind of death wish to take that stuff again, Doctor.

  Dr. Kirk Langstrom : What? You think it's happening deliberately? If I am transforming, then that thing's still inside me. I'm not taking the formula.
