Quotes 

• Riddler : That mealy mouthed faker. Issued a joint statement with Batman and Robin, did he? Ha ha! Well he knows and we know that the caked crusaders are defunct, departerted, demised... dead!

• Batman : As a duly deputised peace officer I order you to drop that sack and give yourself up.

  Riddler : Impossible! Fifteen feet of lethal quicksand!

  Across : They sure don't look defunct to me, Riddler!

  Down : Or demised, departed and dead.

  Riddler : How... how did they survive?

  Robin : Right was on our side, that's how!

• Robin : As usual your riddles led us right to you.

  Riddler : You've made the mistake of being predictable yourselves, with your legendary window entrances. Riddle me this: when is a floor like a puzzle?

  [pushes a button and the floor beneath the Dynamic Duo's feet falls apart in jigsaw pieces] 

• Riddler : You want me to pay three million dollars for an eighty-nine cent pencil flashlight?
