Episode Notes |
| |
Second time Batman is a prisoner in Arkham. The first was in "Dreams of Darkness" when he was temporarily institutionalized due to Scarecrow's fear drug. | The idea for the episode was originally developed for the feature-film "Mask of the Phantasm". | Almost every Batman's Super-villains can be seen in this episode, although not everyone speaks. The absentees are Mr. Freeze, the Penguin, Clayface, the Clock King and the Catwoman. |

Episode Quotes |
| |
Joker: Look alive, Batman! Here comes the judge! | Two-Face: Don't let him get away!
Batman: Who says I'm leaving? | Mad Hatter: Oop! I'd like that last statement stricken from the record, please!
Joker: Record? Is someone supposed to be writing this down? | Scarface: Our prosecutor is ready, likewise our fair and impartial jury.
Hatter: Hang him!
Harley: Shoot him!
Killer Croc: Hit him with a rock!
Scarface: And now, all rise for the most honorable, most benevolent, most merciful Judge Joker!
Joker: GUILTY! | Van Dorn: You want to support law and order? You take off that mask and put on a uniform. | Scarface: Stop shooting! You'll hit Croc!
Joker: What's your point?! | Two-Face: You said it yourself, lady, Batman made every one of us.
Hatter: So, we're facing him before the bar to face our justice.
Van Dorn: And me?
Two-Face: Basic fifty-fifty option. You get him off, you both go free. He goes down, you take the fall with him.
Hatter: Amusing idea, what? Kidnapping you to be Batman's attorney?
Two-Face: Personally, I suggested a quick slug between the eyes but I lost the coin toss. | Van Dorn: I used to believe Batman was responsible for you people but now I see nearly everyone here would have ended up exactly the same, Batman or not. Oh, the gimmicks might be different, but you'd all be out there in some form or another brings misery to Gotham. The truth is, you created him | Van Dorn: I see now there's a need for what you do but I'm still going to work towards a city that doesn't need Batman.
Batman: Me too. |
