Scarecrow: Don't take me back there! Please! Look at me, Batman, I'm shaking with fear. Me, the Scarecrow!! I wasn't even going back to crime this time! I just had to get away from - Him! (Wimpers)
Lyle Bolton: I'll take it from here, Batman. Lyle Bolton, chief of security. Congratulations, Professor Crane. You're the first inmate to escape Arkham under my charge. You're also the last. I won't let you and Gotham City down again, Batman.
Robin: That Bolton's a 10 on the Creep-o-meter. But it seems like he's doing a good job keeping the inmates in check.
Batman: Maybe too good.

Bruce Wayne: Bolton was brought to Arkham under a Wayne foundation. With his knowledge
Bolton: If anyone objects to my methods...(calmly) please, tell me.
Dr. Bartholomew: Miss Quinn, do you have any complains against Mr. Bolton?

Scarecrow: It seems I was mistaken.
Bruce: Well then, based on today's testimony,I propose extending Mr. Bolton's contract for an additional 18 months.
Ventriloquist: (Panicking) No! You can't!! You don't know what he's doing to us!
Scarface: Shut up! Don't listen to jerk-face here. He doesn't know what he's saying!
Harley: No, it's all true! If we don't speak up now, we'll never get another chance! He threatens us! Takes away our privaleges! Even when we're good!
Bolton:
Scarecrow: He says "scum like us" must be cept in line! That's why he chains us down at night, and electrofies our doors!

Summer: What the... Great!
Bruce: Summer?
Batman: Huh?
Lock-Up: The time has come to cleans Gotham of the real criminals. You upprehend them, Dark Knight, and Lock-Up will put them away! Together we can make this city safe again!
Batman: By kidnapping innocent victims? I don't think so.
Lock-Up: If you're not part of the solution, then you're part of the problem.
Summer: Aahh!
Lock-Up: You disappoints me, Batman. I thought you wanted this median leech to get her comupance.
Harvey Bullock: (Sarcastically) Just what this town needs: Another psycho in a halloween costume.
(Later in the Batcave)

Robin: You mean this Lock-Up nut is the security-creep from Arkham?
Batman: Without a doubt.
Robin: Another fine villain made possible by a grant from the Wayne foundation. (Batman glares) Only kidding.
Batman: Bolton's last known address. See what you can find.
Robin: Nice
