: hey yall -
: this is to settle an argument between myself and a friend... in mallrats when silent bob saves himself & jay from the cops in the alley (with that grappling-hook-gun thing) and jay says "...where do you get these wonderful toys?" - - is he, or is he not quoting batman (hence the superhero/batman/silent bob thang)?
He is quoting a line said by Jack Nicholson as the Joker in Batman. When Batman saves Vickie Vale from the Joker's loathsome clutches in the museum he uses a complicated little grappling gun. As he and Vickie are sliding down the rope the Joker asks this wonderfull and oft quoted question. My favorite comic movie quote from Mallrats has got to be "Come son of Jor-El, kneel before Zod! Snoochie Boochies *giggle*"
