[edit] Quotes

• Black Mask: Maybe I haven't been clear, Gordon. So allow me to reiterate one last time: no pay by midnight, and I remodel Gotham City. I had hoped that last night's demonstration had shown you our seriousness, but it seems you have chosen not to comply.
• Gordon: We need more time!
  Black Mask: Time is not something you have anymore. Good night, Gordon and good-bye.
• Black Mask: I'm not one of those Arkham loners you're used to, Batman. I have a vast organization to deal with you.
  Batgirl: Memo to Black Mask:
  Robin: You're not the only one with an organization.
• Black Mask: We can make this hard or easy but I am walking out that door.
  Batgirl and Robin: Hard!
• Robin: Wonder what Batman will have us do next? I have an important mission for you two: The Batmobile must be washed, two coats of wax this time.
  Batgirl: And don't forget to hang one of those tree shaped air fresheners. The fate of Gotham depends on it.
• Robin: East side is all clear.
  Batgirl: West side is clear and very, very, very bored. Suggest to 2102, the carrying of snacks from police lobby.
  Robin: Roger that.
