Answer: Johnny Gobs

Remember the family walking around Gotham City at the very beginning of the movie? This fine family was mugged by two street punks. Later these muggers went on top of a roof in the city to sort out the money. While they were sorting out the loot before Batman showed up, they were talking about whether Batman was real or not. One of the muggers said that, "The bat got him", but the other mugger quickly dismissed that idea and said he walked off the roof.

From Quiz The "Batman" Challenge

Answer: Jimmy the tourist and his parents

These characters are never used again in the film. Tim Burton's original intention was to trick people into thinking he was twisting the origin story of Bruce Wayne into Batman. Instead, the scene where they go into an alleyway and get mugged is to provide Batman with villains to fight before the main action against The Joker begins.

Answer: "I'm not going to kill you."

Batman says this as he is kindly dangling one of the thugs from a rooftop. He asks the thug to spread rumours about him by saying, "Tell all your friends about me," before then saying the infamous line, "I'm Batman." The thug is then thrown back onto the rooftop as a now CGI Batman falls to the streets below.

From Quiz Batman

Answer: Bob Kane

Bob Kane did create and draw the comics so he should be the one to draw the bat picture. At the bottom of the picture it was signed "Bob Kane". A couple of the other options mentioned do have extensive art talent. Frank Miller wrote the comic book "The Dark Night Returns". Tim Burton originally wanted to do a movie based on that comic but the studio wouldn't allow it. H.R. Giger was the conceptual character designer of the aliens in the "Alien" movie franchise. Alex Ross has drawn many comic books and comic characters including "Batman" comics.

This line occurs soon after we see The Joker's hand rising from the sewers.

It's at this point that he demands to see a mirror, before laughing maniacally and leaving the room.

From Quiz Batman

Answer: Michael Gough

Michael Gough played the faithful Alfred in this movie and was credited as Alfred Pennyworth in "Batman and Robin" and "Batman Forever". In this movie, the Joker's name was Jack Napier. This was a tribute to the actor Alan Napier, the actor who played Bruce Wayne's butler Alfred on the original TV show. Alan Napier passed away two months before production started. Oddly, in the "Batman" comics they never revealed the Joker's real name he was just known as The Red Hood.

It mentions her last name in "Batdance", which is a song on the "Batman" soundtrack. We also hear it a few times in the movie. Vicki Vale is a reporter who reports on Batman and his villains.

Answer: "I made you, but you made me first."

Very strangely, Batman's last spoken line is about 20 minutes before the end of the film as he's fighting with the Joker at the top of the bell tower. This is in reference to The Joker shooting his parents and Batman accidentally making Jack Napier fall into the vat of chemicals near the beginning of the film. Batman makes a very small appearance at the end of the film standing on a building.
