Quotes5

  • Dr. Bartholomew: Such a pity. To think, after all he's accomplished, that he should end up here like this. Yes, he does seem calmer. You can turn on the lights, It's all right, Batman. I'm Dr. Bartholomew, your psychiatrist.
  • Batman: Did you contact Commissioner Gordon and Dr. Wu?
  • Dr. Bartholomew: Calm yourself. Everything is under control.
  • Batman: Haven't you listened to anything I've told you?
  • Dr. Bartholomew: [to the orderly] He needs more time. See that he's not disturbed.
  • Batman: BARTHOLOMEW! We don't have any more time!
  • Dr. Bartholomew: Now, now. There's always time to heal.
  • Dr. Bartholomew: It's time we had another chat, Batman. Now, tell me about this supposed gas again.
  • Batman: I've already told you. When the gas is put into Gotham's water supply, the entire city will be affected.
  • [Standing up]
  • Batman: Why won't you believe me?
  • Orderly: Easy.
  • Dr. Bartholomew: Well, how could such a complex plan be implemented without attracting attention? I think this plot is just another delusion. And deep down, you believe so too. Otherwise, why come to Arkham? The one place where costumed delusional personalities can receive compassion and help?
  • Batman: I didn't come here for help! I came to find the criminal behind all this.
  • Dr. Bartholomew: Really, Batman. As if a criminal could run an outside operation from in here. Jack Napier? Harvey Dent? Pamela Isley? Or, as you call them, the Joker, Two-Face and Poison Ivy. We keep them all under constant watch.
  • Batman: They're not responsible for this madness. There's only one criminal twisted enough to come up with such a scheme: The Scarecrow.
  • Dr. Bartholomew: Professor Crane? What nonsense. I saw him this morning in his cell. He's probably asleep even as we speak.
  • Dr. Bartholomew: He can't possibly have left the grounds. Our security is absolute, completely...
  • Batman: No security is absolute. The Scarecrow's already proved that!
  • Dr. Bartholomew: I hope I'm not disturbing you.
  • Batman: Isn't that why I'm here? Because I'm... disturbed?
  • Dr. Bartholomew: [an orderly moves to take Batman's mask off] Not yet. His mask is at the root of his delusional fixation. To take it off might plunge him into a catatonic state.
