Quotes
DR. MADSEN: There isn't an archeological institution in the
World that would buy a stolen fossil. This wouldn't be worth anything to
you!
FREEZE: To me, no. But it's worth everything to you, isn't it? I did not
come here to steal bones, Dr. Madsen. I came to steal hope.
--
FREEZE: Search your hearts for the thing you value most, then despair,
for I have come to take it from you.
--
BRUCE (on tv): As my father once told me, 'Those who have the most, must
give the most.'
FREEZE: Those who have the most also have the most to lose, Mr. Wayne.
--
BATGIRL: Hey! Best score yet!
BRUCE: Not bad. . . For a corpse.
BATGIRL: But I lasted longer this time.
BRUCE: Dead is dead.
--
BRUCE: Alfred tells me you failed a civics test?
TIM: Like I really care what a district attorney does.
BRUCE: You don't know the first things about the American justice
system, do you?
TIM: I know it's bogus.
BRUCE: And how did you come to that well thought out conclusion?
TIM: Watching you.
Review: A well written Freeze
episode, but nothing beats Heart of Ice. It was interesting to see how
Freeze would continue after the events of Batman & Mr. Freeze:
SubZero since that movie ended what made Freeze a criminal in the
first place.
There were some problems though. First, this episode was aired before
SubZero was released, and therefore ruined the ending of the movie.
Of course, this was the scheduler's problem, and not the actual
episode's problem. Second, Freeze lost his emotions. . . again. At the
end of Sub Zero, Freeze cries with tears of joy that his wife has
been saved, and once again, he has gained his emotions back. Now though,
he has lost these emotions again for some strange reason.
