Mari Devon: Summer Gleeson

Quotes 

• Summer Gleeson : Mr. Wayne, Mr. Wayne! Do you have any idea why someone has been robbing and sabotaging your businesses? Two buildings burned down, another blown up. This one's computer system's wrecked.

  Commissioner James Gordon : Miss Gleeson, how do you know that?

  Summer Gleeson : A good reporter has sources, Commissioner. Any comments, Mr. Wayne?

  Bruce Wayne : [to Commissioner Gordon]  If you'll excuse me.

  [walks away] 

  Summer Gleeson : Hmph! You can't ignore the press, Mr. Wayne!

• Summer Gleeson : 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, the editor : Be careful, Summer, Wayne's got mondo clout in Gotham.

  Summer Gleeson : Hey, Harry, I'm a big girl.

• [after Bruce escapes his bonds, he rises and confronts Kyodai] 

  Kyodai Ken : Oh, really.

  [They circle each other. Bruce throws a self-conscious glance at Summer - and Kyodai throws him across the room] 

  Kyodai Ken : You're getting soft, Wayne. Even a white belt could avoid that throw!

  [throws him again] 

  Kyodai Ken : Tired already, Wayne? I haven't even broken a sweat yet. GET UP!

  Robin : [watching from above]  Come on, Bruce...

  [another throw] 

  Summer Gleeson : Stop it! Can't you see he's no match for you?

  Kyodai Ken : He never was.

  [one last throw] 

  Kyodai Ken : I've had enough exercise for one evening. Now it ends, Wayne.

  [Robin throws a ball bearing with a sling. Instead of hitting Kyodai, it hits a carpet roll above Summer's head, which rolls down over her eyes] 

  Summer Gleeson : Hey!

  [Bruce attacks Kyodai, throwing him across the room] 

  Robin : Yes!

  Kyodai Ken : Gotten a second wind, have you? Good! This will make your defeat all the more satisfying.

  Bruce Wayne : Shut up and fight.

  [Kyodai attacks. Bruce defends, then throws him again, following up with a flying kick] 

  Bruce Wayne : You were right about one thing, Kyodai - now it ends.

  [Kyodai grabs a statue, hurls it through the window, and escapes]
