Batman: He trashed my car, Alfred. Between a couple of guys, that's real personal.
Killer Croc: Come on in Batman, the water's fine. (Bane punches through the wall)
Bane: He is mine to destroy monster!
Killer Croc: Over my dead body!
Bane: As you wish. (Bane pumps venom into his muscles as his shadow becomes bigger and larger. Bane then grabs Croc by the head.)
Bane: Welcome to my arena, Batman. Prepare to meet your master.
Rupert Thorne: They'll never pin it on me but that fiasco cost me an easy ten mill. You almost didn't get paid. You're lucky these diamonds didn't get nabbed in the smuggling bust.
Bane: No, Mr. Thorne, you're the lucky one.
This episode is episode 19 on the Batman: The Animated Series Volume 3 DVD.
Much of the fighting on the deck of the ship is highly reminiscent of Mexican wrestling, noteworthy since Bane's appearance is based on such wrestlers.
Candace, Rupert Thorne's secretary from Two-Face, makes a reappearance in this episode.
First appearance of Bane in the animated continuity.
Most of the dialogue at the end between Batman and Bane were taken from the comic book Batman #497. In that comic Bane fought Batman inside Wayne Manor and the Bat-cave and ultimately broke Batman's back.
From this point on, the series has been renamed: The Adventures of Batman and Robin.
Gilgamesh king of Uruk
Batman: Computer, run background file on Project Gilgamesh.
Project Gilgamesh is named after the legendary Gilgamesh king of Uruk. The exploits of Gilgamesh are chronicled in the ancient Sumerian heroic poem The Epic of Gilgamesh.
