TRIVIA

  • In the library scene, Bruce is on a ladder, two shelves from the top of the book wall. In the next shot, he is at least three shelves from the top. edit »
  • Trivia: Terry borrows Dick Grayson's tux, as it's "way retro." Terry and Dick do look like they're about the same build - makes sense. (Of course, it does raise the question of how the lean Terry fits the Batsuit designed for the muscular Bruce). edit »
  • Bruce is getting sloppy - at one point he pulls up the three victims. (At this point, it had been one student- Chelsea - and two parents of students). He shows pictures of Chelsea, who was ensorcelled, the curator, who was ensorcelled, and Jared, whose mother was ensorcelled. Why not a picture of Jared's mother? edit »

QUOTES

  • Bruce: Terry, listen to my voice. Whatever you're seeing, it isn't real.
    (Spellbinder hits Batman with a branch)
    Batman: That sure felt real. edit »
  • Terry: Then Batman tied Doctor Billings up and disappeared.
    Barbara: And you are Mr.Wayne's new assistant?
    (Terry nods his head happily)
    Barbara: Your father was Warren McGinnis?
    (Terry nods his head seriously)
    Barbara: Stay out of trouble, kid. edit »
  • News Anchor: With this second report about a spellbinder hypnotizing citizens, the police have reopened the case involving Chelsea Cunningham.
    Terry: Told you so.
    Bruce: Umm hmm.... Now suit up and get out there. Find out who this Spellbinder is.
    Terry: Actually, I was thinking of a different costume tonight. Hope you don't mind. (showing a tuxedo) Found this in the closet upstairs. Way retro. Who's DG? edit »
  • Terry: I don't buy it. I mean Chelsea's flaky but she's not stupid! She's not going to make up some goofy guy with a mask and a magic eyeball. It's too crazy not to be true.
    Bruce: Leave it alone. She's just a troubled kid lashing out to daddy. Nothing for you to get invoved with.
    Terry: Guess you're the expert in troubled kids--you collect them, right? edit »
  • (Commissioner Gordon and a policeman walk past them)
    Terry: What's that about?
    Jared: Got to be Chels. You didn't hear about her and her old man last night? She bugged and tossed some pricey statue of his into the river. edit »
  • Terry: You don't seem very excited? Your mom's wedding, big bash, lots of food then you get the house all to yourself for three weeks!
    Jared: What... ever.
    Terry: You don't like the guy?
    Jared: My mom goes through husbands like popcorn. I don't bother to get attached.
    Terry: Yikes! edit »
  • Bruce: Telling tales in school, were we? edit »
  • Rick: You sure you don't want me to walk you home?
    Chelsea: It's three houses away, Rick. Besides, daddy is probably back from gun practice by now.
    Rick: Er.. you're right. Nothing ever happens around here anyway. I'll see you tomorrow? edit »
  • Terry: (over radio) Wayne, you alive?
    Bruce: Very funny. edit »
