  • When Dick is first talking to Jim Gordon in the newly built crime lab, he tries to make small talk but falls a bit flat.
    Dick: Call me Dick, please. You drove me to my high school prom.
    Jim: Actually, I drove my daughter to her high school prom. You just happened to be in the car.
  • Tim shows Dick-as-Batman the latest invention by Lucius Fox, a mask that sculpts holographic into the face of the person you're impersonating. When Tim asks if this means they're retiring "the old wig and beard truck," Dick (in full Batman gear) can merely quip, "Blasphemy, Mr. Drake. Blasphemy."

    Tim: Oh, come on. Tell me you're not into her. She's the daughter of Tony "Fats" Zucco.
    Batman: I'm not into her.
    Tim: And that sounded convincing.
    Batman: Red Robin? Oh no, you're breaking up.
    Tim: Batman, you're on a 5G. I can't break up.
