Quotes 

  • Commissioner Gordon : [reading The Riddler's note aloud]  Why is an orange like a bell? You know who this means, don't you?

    Chief O'Hara : The Riddler.

    Commissioner Gordon : Right, Chief O'Hara, the Riddler. That infernal prince of puzzlers who's outwitted us a dozen times.

  • Batman : "Why is an orange like a bell?"

    Robin : Answer - because they both must be "peeled."

    Batman : Right - you peel an orange and you peal a bell! Get it?

    Chief O'Hara : What idiots we are! Now, why couldn't we have worked that out?

    Commissioner Gordon : But what does it mean, though?

    Batman : Right, commissioner. There's the problem. We all know this quizzical criminal operates. He deliberately leaves clues to confound us.

    Robin : Clues which may or may not lead to the real crime he's planning.

    Inspector Basch : The real crime?

    Batman : Precisely, Inspector Basch. The Riddler contrives his plots like artichokes. You have to strip off the spiny leaves to reach the heart.

  • Bruce Wayne : Yes, commissioner?

    Commissioner Gordon : You'll never guess who's on the loose. Your old archenemy. The Riddler.

    Bruce Wayne : Good heavens!

    Dick Grayson : Him again!

    Commissioner Gordon : Will you come to headquarters right away?

    Bruce Wayne : It'll be a pleasure, Commissioner Gordon.

    [hangs up Batphone after which he and Dick head for the Batpoles without another word] 

  • Commissioner Gordon : I don't know who he is behind that mask of his, but I do know when we need him... and we need him now!
