Birds of Prey2002

Det. Claude Martin:
A generation ago, there was a man, a vigilante who prowled New Gotham's nights claiming he was fighting for justice. All the while, and I'm not kidding about this, he was dressed as a bat!

Jesse Reese:
Okay. Now I know you're messing with me. A grown man, fights crime, and he does it dressed as a giant flying rodent.

Det. Claude Martin:
I think it's safe to assume he had some issues. He called himself the Bat-Man.

Jesse Reese:
Okay, now that's creative.

Det. Claude Martin:
Well I didn't make it up. The point is he attracted criminals. It was a prestige thing to find him, you know, make your mark in the underworld.

Jesse Reese:
That only explains why there are so many criminals in New Gotham. I mean all metahumans can't be criminals.

Det. Claude Martin:
Why not? Their kind is drawn to crime they think they're above the law.

Jesse Reese:
What about this flying bat-guy? He fought crime, he was a metahuman.

Det. Claude Martin:
Oh, no, no, he was human all the way. He just, you know, had a scary dress sense. Anyway he vanished about seven years ago but the metahumans stayed. Had families, built lives here, they're here still. Some, even married humans. You don't even want to know how screwed up those kids are. You know what I'm talking about, Reese, I can tell.
