Batman Begins/Funny
- When Bruce returns from his travels:
Company Head: Bruce! I thought you were dead. |
- Bonus laughs come from the fact that Bruce managed to seduce the secretary in less than a minute of entering his own office building.
- Alfred tries to rouse Bruce from bed. Bruce groans, "Bats are nocturnal!"
- Lucius Fox and Bruce Wayne, both absolutely deadpan:
Lucius Fox: I analyzed your blood, isolating the receptor compounds and the protein-based catalyst. |
- The look on a bystander's face after calling the Bat-Tumbler a "nice ride," only to see said ride destroy a train bridge with surface-to-surface missiles.
- A cop in a squad car is yelling through his radio at someone on the other end, for not being able to provide an accurate description of the Tumbler.
Cop: Just tell me what it looks like. |
- Also:
Cop: Suspect is in a vehicle. |
- Also:
Cop 1: What street is he taking? |
- "Dr Crane isn't here right now, but if you'd like to make an appointment..."
- "I may need your help." "What do you need?" "Can you drive stick?"
- When Batman says to Ra's al Ghul, regarding the Mooks he's threatened with, "I can't beat two of your pawns?" Ra's says, "As you wish." Two more Mooks rappel down next to the first two, and Batman does this sidelong glance that just screams "I had to open my big mouth."
- I thought he was rolling his eyes.
- Bruce buying the restaurant so the two women he's with can go into the fountain naked.
- Just his whole behavior during that scene, taking Rich Idiot With No Day Job Up to Eleven.
Maitre D: Sir, the pool is for decoration, and your friends do not have swimwear. |
- Chekhov's Gun with that restaurant - in the sequel it's the same one where he pushes two tables together with Harvey and Rachel, commenting how it's fine to do because he owns the place.
- "WHERE ARE YOU?!?!" "Here." For some reason, I bust out laughing every time I see that scene.
- "Nice coat."
- "Didn't you get the memo?"
- As Bruce is heading out just before his guests start arriving: "Tell them that joke you know."
- The onlookers watching Alfred put an unconscious Rachel in the car.
Alfred: A little worse for wear, I'm afraid. |
- When Alfred is surmising that Bruce's secret identity is to protect the people he knows from his eventual enemies, Bruce responds with Rachel, to which Alfred replies that he was thinking about himself.
- The Tumbler test drive and Bruce's grin throughout...
Bruce: Does it come in black? |
- This scene always gets me.
Alfred: (shatters headpiece with bat) It's a problem with the graphite sir. The next 10,000 will be up to specifications. |
- Bruce dismissing his own alter-ego as a means of establishing his Rich Idiot With No Day Job persona:
Bruce: The guy dresses up like a bat... clearly has issues. |
- This piece of dialogue before the Tumbler Chase.
Gordon: (as Batman walks offscreen with Rachel) I'll get my car. |
