Batman: Since that one's been kidnapping her co-stars.

Summer: [stopping the tape] That's what the critics said. Baby's dramatic career flopped, and when she tried to start her TV show again, the networks turned her down.
Batman: That still doesn't explain why she's after her old cast.
Robin: Maybe there's a clue in these old episodes.
Summer: You can borrow them if you want. And when you crack the case, you can pay me back with an exclusive...

[last lines]

The: Bah! Enough of this rubbish!
[changes the channel]
Poison: Hey! We were watching that!
[nervously, Joker changes it back]
The: [muttering] Ah, you miserable wet tub of no-good losers, you make me sick...

Summer: I'm sure there's more to these crimes against Bruce Wayne than meets the eye. What do we know about The Bruce, after all? One of the richest men on the planet, but he comes off like the ultimate Boy Scout. I think I'll just pop over to the Wayne Charities Reception tonight and see if I can't get some answers.
Harry,: Be careful, Summer, Wayne's got mondo clout in Gotham.
Summer: Hey, Harry, I'm a big girl.
