Gordon: "Killer Croc and Joker are back to normal, Clayface's body has been turned into a permanently human form, Scarecrow is whoring out his services to FEMA, and you're a regular billionaire again. So Bruce, how are you feeling now?"
Wayne: "Like a grown up. Looking back Jim, I can't imagine what it was that made me put on a silly costume..."
Gordon: "Silly? The Batman brought decades of hope to gotham!"
Wayne: "...when you think about it, I made the costume to strike fear into criminals. Cassandra doesn't even wear a mask anymore, and yet they're running from one end of the city to another just to get
away from her. Hell, half the organized criminal syndicates have moved to Metropolis just so they won't have to deal with the fact that their heads might explode.
That Jim, is fear. Fear that not even the Batman could generate."
Gordon: "Yes, but why are they so afraid when she hasn't killed anyone yet?"
Wayne: *points at Croc, who's expelling all kinds of spare genetic crap from the pores of his skin* "Because according to my research, Hokuto Shin Ken has a 2,000 year history...of doing stuff like
that."
