Diedrich Bader: Batman, Ace

Quotes 

• Wong Fei : You smile under your mask? There is no pleasure in combat. If it is clown style you seek, go join the circus.

  [to Tiger] 

  Wong Fei : Bat will fight his own battles. Do not help him. Is there nothing you can do correctly?

  Batman : Thanks for the help.

  Bronze Tiger : Remember it. Because that's the last you'll ever get from me.

• Bronze Tiger : [as a literal tiger]  I could get used to this.

  Batman : Wings, blindness, horrendously disfigured face. I think I prefer my ridiculous costume.

• Batman : Fox joined the legendary Shadow Clan, who only exist at night. If they combine their power with that of the totem, they would be unstoppable.

  Bronze Tiger : Ghost ninjas, magic totems. Now I remember why I left this place.

• Bronze Tiger : You're outmatched.

  Batman : Maybe. But you left the school before learning Wong Fei's most important lesson: when outmatched... cheat.

• Batman : Thanks for your help. I can drop you back at your village.

  Bronze Tiger : I'm not leaving. With Wong Fei gone, someone has to watch over the temple. I'm going to bring my people up here and start the Wudang school again. If the Shadow Clan comes back... they're gonna find an army waiting for them.

  Batman : Wong Fei would be honored.

  Bronze Tiger : Now, I think you owe me a rematch.

• Bronze Tiger : Get in the ring, Batman.

  Batman : I'm not here to fight.

  Bronze Tiger : I know. You're here to lose.

  Batman : Fox and his Shadow Clan are after the Wudang totem.

  Bronze Tiger : Sorry. Sounds like Wong Fei's problem.

  Batman : Wong Fei's gone. And we're all that's left to protect it.

  Bronze Tiger : I walked away from that world a long time ago. I watch over my village and no place else. It's not my fight.

  Batman : Then I'm going to make it your fight.

  [jumping into the ring] 

  Batman : If I win, you fight by my side, no matter what.

  Bronze Tiger : You're living in a fantasy land. Look at that board. I never lose.

• Fox : I will let you live. I want you to walk this earth knowing you had a chance to stop us, to save your village and Hong Kong, and failed.

  Bronze Tiger : This temple is a curse. I should have never walked back through these gates.

  Batman : [with a rumble, the Batplane appears]  Don't look so surprised. Now, get in. We're going to Hong Kong.

• Wong Fei : The mantle of the bat. Interesting. Wealthy men like Fox come to Wudang to seek thrills. Or like Tiger, they come with nothing to lose and everything to prove. Why have you come to my school?

  Batman : I've lost everything, and I'm trying to find a way to take it back.

  Wong Fei : Very well. First, you must learn the ways of the spirit animal you have chosen. Like the blind bat, you must fight what you cannot see. Come and welcome our new student.

• Batman : Master Wong Fei.

  Wong Fei : Look at you. Such a ridiculous costume for such a powerful warrior. Do you fly with that cape?

  Batman : [chuckling, he then coughs]  You're ill.

  Wong Fei : Never mind me. Your former classmates, Fox, Shark, and Vulture seek to control the Wudang totem. With it, they would gain limitless power.

  Batman : What can I do?

  Wong Fei : Because Fox's Shadow Clan is vulnerable only to daylight, you must reach Wudang Temple before they return at sundown.

  Batman : I'll come. And I'll bring Bronze Tiger.

  Wong Fei : Do not waste your time with Tiger. He is too fat with pride to ever come to the school's aid.

  Batman : He's also your best student. We'll see you at sundown.

  Wong Fei : [tossing him a scroll]  No, you won't. My journey is complete. It's all up to you now.

• Batman : Secure the totem.

  Bronze Tiger : The totem can wait. It's Fox I want.

• Jonah Hex : Well, I suppose you'll be wanting a share of the bounty for these here outlaws.

  Batman : Keep it. I fight for justice, not money.

  Jonah Hex : [tossing him a gold coin]  At least take this and get yourself a proper cowboy hat. Now, I can't be partnering up with someone who parades around in that ridiculous bat getup.

• Batman : Think you've got one more fight left in you?

  Bronze Tiger : Sorry, Batman. This time, I don't.

  Fox : What's this? The prideful fool surrenders?

  Bronze Tiger : Yes. But only if you promise to spare my people once you rule these lands.

  Fox : I will. But you must bow down before the greater man.

  Bronze Tiger : I've let my pride haunt me too many times, but I'll swallow it now if it means protecting my village.

  [kneeling before Fox] 

  Bronze Tiger : Besides, we're outmatched. And you remember Wong Fei's most important lesson: when outmatched... cheat.

  [he manages to knock the totem from Fox's hands, and Batman catches it] 

  Fox : The totem!

• Batman : We're too late.

  Bronze Tiger : He thinks he's gonna take over Hong Kong with a few mystic mutants?

  Batman : No, he's going to take over Hong Kong with a few hundred mystic mutants. We need to stop Fox before he takes over all of China.

  Bronze Tiger : Then tell me you've got missiles on this thing.

• Ace : On account of being a no-good, bounty-hunting polecat who tried to bring down the Royal Flush Gang, one Jonah Hex is sentenced to death. Come noontime, the old station whistle's gonna wail and send these here horses and you scattering to the four corners of the West. Any last words?

  Jonah Hex : Sure do. But ain't none of them fit to be spoken in front of the lady.
