[after a "field test" of his bullet-proof energy shield, Batman brings it back to Fox]::Bruce Wayne: It works too well. I'm willing to put my life on the line to do what I have to. But it has to be mine, no one else's.
B-Devil: Yo, wait a minute. Batman never cut nobody's head off. Everybody knows he don't ever kill nobody.::Meesh: I'm making it more colorful, yo.
Cultist: Hey, Bat, when you're flying, what the city look like from up on high?::Batman: It looks dirty.
Alfred Pennyworth: [about Bruce's gun collection] It's a bagful of tragedy, sir. I can't see how you could even bear to handle one.::Bruce Wayne: You have to know your enemy, Alfred. I'd never use one, but even I can appreciate the attraction of a gun. The heft. The sleekness. The cool steel. The precision. And the power. The power to change lives, history. The power of God.
Batman: Alfred, how's the satellite picture?::Alfred Pennyworth: Splendid. I can almost see your pointy ears, sir.
Bruce Wayne: It was just like that night in the alley, Alfred... the closeness of the walls, the gunfire. It seems I've been trying to stop those two bullets all my life.
Lt. James Gordon: [Batman's been bitten by Croc] Are you in pain?::Batman: I work through pain.
Bruce Wayne: [after Cassandra has told Bruce about her life as a child in her village] Then why don't you leave?::Cassandra: Because, this is where I belong. In your life, isn't there such a place?
Alfred Pennyworth: Sir! Give me your hand!::[Batman's hands are full, having scooped a dozen discarded guns from the rubbish pile]::Batman: I... I can't.
Lt. James Gordon: Got a lead on your 'Killer Croc.' His name's Waylon Jones. He was an inmate at Arkham Asylum - and a former test subject in Dr. Crane's fear-aversion therapy program.::Batman: Which means he's twice as twisted now that Crane's had a go at him.
