- Sin Tzu: The art of war is deceit. First, you must strike when your opponent least expects; in a place where he feels strong, but is in fact weak; with an army he believes he has already vanquished.
- [Sin Tzu has imprisoned Poison Ivy, Mr. Freeze, Harley Quinn and the Joker]
- Batman: What happened to all of them?
- Sin Tzu: Control the mind, the body rapidly follows.
- Batman: Why did you choose Scarecrow, Clayface and Bane to lead the attack?
- Sin Tzu: Let's just say they were less... unpredictable.
- Batman: But they failed.
- Sin Tzu: It was essential that they did.
- [Batman and Sin Tzu come face to face]
- Sin Tzu: And so it ends, as all battles should end: two great commanders face each other on an empty battlefield.
- Batman: On slow nights, I come back to Crime Alley. Keeps my skills sharp. Some call it Purgatory. I call it practice.
- [a two-foot-tall Clayface faces Batman]
- Clayface: Time to end it, one way or the other, Batman.
- Batman: Too bad you're only half the monster you used to be.
- Clayface: Children, come to me.
- [Clayface's clay soldiers approach from all angles, and Clayface reabsorbs them, growing several feet and looming over Batman]
- Clayface: Still look like an easy fight, Batman?
- Batman: No, just a good one.
- Sin Tzu: At midnight the battle shall begin. The battlefield is Gotham City. My adversary is Batman. And I shall be the victor.
