Episode 2 Synopsis:
“Alfred Pennyworth: When your parents died, they left me as caretaker… of their estate… their son… and their secrets. I would never betray them. – Your parents were good people, Bruce. No matter what that thug Falcone told you.
Bruce Wayne: Then swear to me there’s no truth to it.
Lieutenant James Gordon: The evidence you brought me on Falcone held up… maybe I misjudged you.
Vicki Vale: Now Batman’s beating up mobsters, too. Wonder who he’s after next…
Thomas Elliot (Hush’s alter ego): *picks up the photo of Bruce’s parents & Alfred with Carmine Falcone* [while looking at the Wayne Enterprises skyscraper]
Oswald Cobblepot (as Penguin): Hell of a view. [said while he was at Falcone’s Skylight club that Batman destroyed in Episode 1]
Harvey Dent: Bruce, the Wayne name is toxic. I have to do what’s best for my campaign… what’s best for Gotham. I have to distance myself.
Selina Kyle (as Catwoman): *Stares into Batman’s eyes.*
