Quotes 

• Chief O'Hara : [trying to locate millionaire Bruce Wayne]  I've called every rich man's club and eatin' place in Gotham City, he's in none of them.

  Commissioner Gordon : These millionaires... its hard for us to comprehend the sort of lives they lead.

  Chief O'Hara : Yeah, it's true, Commissioner. Heh! I'll bet Mr. Wayne is out on some yacht, eatin' sherbert and changin' his clothes.

  Robin : That's not true!

  Chief O'Hara : Why do you jump at me so, Boy Wonder?

• Zelda : [on phone, using a scarf to muffle her voice]  This line better not be traced, my friends, or it'll be very sad for Mrs. Harriet Cooper.

  Robin : [on television, as per Zelda's instructions]  How is she?

  Zelda : [glances up at Aunt Harriet]  Oh, quite well, Boy Wonder. At least as well as one can be in a straitjacket over a fatal pool of flaming oil.

  Bruce Wayne : You devil! How could a woman stoop to such a trick?

• Robin : Aw, come on, you crook, you can't be all bad! Let the poor lady go, huh?

• Bruce Wayne : [Adressing Zelda, who remains unknown to them, via television]  As a director of the First National Bank of Gotham City, let me tell you that the money in your possession is one hundred per cent bona fide.

  Robin : [pleading]  You gotta believe Mr. Wayne!

  Commissioner Gordon : As a bank director, if he made a false statement, he would be liable to federal prosecution.

  Bruce Wayne : Yes.

  Robin : Don't you see, out there? This reckless crime of yours is unnecessary!

  Bruce Wayne : You already have your filthy lucre.

• Robin : [Poison gas is released]  Holy graveyards, Batman!

• Robin : [the two crooks shoot each other]  Holy crossfire!
