Quotes 

• Batman : This isn't the jungle. And this isn't Falseface! We can't even ask where he is.

  Stalker : Perhaps I was impatient.

  Batman : Ya think? There's gotta be a clue somewhere.

  Stalker : Every pack has its alpha dog. You could see it in their eyes. They followed this one.

• Terry McGinnis : After you.

  Stalker : You don't trust me?

  Terry McGinnis : You were out to kill me, remember?

  Stalker : There are worse things than an honorable death.

  Terry McGinnis : Betcha it's a short list.

• Batman : You risked your neck to save me.

  Stalker : It was not your time. When you die, it will be by my hand, and my hand alone.

  Batman : Thanks. I... guess.

• Stalker : The virus. Did you...

  Batman : Yeah, I saved it. And thanks for your concern.

  [grabbing Kobra One] 

  Batman : Call your pal Bennet. Tell him the worst is over.

  Kobra One : Is it?

  Batman : Hello? We just kicked your scaly butts.

  Stalker : He knows something.

  Batman : What?

  Stalker : [grabbing Kobra One]  It's not over, is it? What have you done?

  [taking and putting him under a mechanical press] 

  Stalker : Tell me!

  Kobra One : It's Falseface. He's been infected. He's a carrier, but he doesn't know it. It was our backup plan in case your government resisted. Soon, he'll become virulently contagious.

  [Batman hurries away] 

  Kobra One : He'll never find him. Kobra has won.

• Batman : So, what part of "wait here" didn't you understand?

  Stalker : Never hesitate. In the jungle, it's kill or be killed.

• Stalker : Much as I would relish hunting you, this time I seek a different prey.

  Batman : Yeah, right.

  Bennet : He's telling the truth.

  Batman : Bennet.

  Bennet : He's working for us now, Batman. Tracking a man named Falseface.

  Batman : Falseface?

  Bennet : An agent-for-hire who can change identities the way most people change clothes. He's working for Kobra. It's a powerful, ultra-secret organization that uses cutting-edge technology for extortion and terrorism. If we don't pay a ransom of 10 billion credits, they've threatened to release a deadly super-virus.

  Batman : You're kidding, right?

  Bennet : I wish. Last week, Kobra tested the virus on an island off the coast of Saint Denis. The result: total biological devastation. Crops, livestock, everything. It wasn't pretty. Falseface's job was to smuggle the virus into Gotham, so we turned to the only man who could track him down. The Stalker agreed to help us. Unfortunately, we were too late.

  Stalker : By the time I picked up his trail, Falseface had passed the virus container off to a high school student.

  Bennet : Time is running out. If we can't find Falseface in the next hour, we're going to have 12 million people in a hot zone.
