Quotes:

[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.

Quotes:

Reese: They're trying to kill me!::Lt. James Gordon: Well, maybe Batman will save you.

Bruce Wayne: Targeting me won't get their money back. I knew the mob wouldn't go down without a fight, but this is different. They crossed the line.::Alfred Pennyworth: You crossed the line first, sir. You squeezed them, you hammered them to the point of desperation. And in their desperation, they turned to a man they didn't fully understand.::Bruce Wayne: Criminals aren't complicated, Alfred. Just have to figure out what he's after.::Alfred Pennyworth: With respect Master Wayne, perhaps this is a man that *you* don't fully understand, either. A long time ago, I was in Burma. My friends and I were working for the local government. They were trying to buy the loyalty of tribal leaders by bribing them with precious stones. But their caravans were being raided in a forest north of Rangoon by a bandit. So, we went looking for the stones. But in six months, we never met anybody who traded with him. One day, I saw a child playing with a ruby the size of a tangerine. The bandit had been throwing them away.::Bruce Wayne: So why steal them?::Alfred Pennyworth: Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

Detective Wuertz: Dent. Jesus. I thought you was dead.::Two-Face: Half.

Harvey Dent: The famous Bruce Wayne. Rachel's told me everything about you.::Bruce Wayne: I certainly hope not.

Gotham National Bank Manager: Think you're pretty smart, huh? The guy that hired youze, he'll just do the same to you. Oh, criminals in this town used to believe in things. Honor. Respect. Look at you! What do you believe in, huh? WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE IN?::[Bozo leans down and sticks a gas grenade in the manager's mouth]::Bozo: I believe whatever doesn't kill you, simply makes you...::[takes off his mask, revealing the Joker]::The Joker: ...stranger.

Mayor: [regarding The Joker] What do we got?::Lt. James Gordon: Nothing. No matches on prints, DNA, dental. Clothing is custom, no labels. Nothing in his pockets but knives and lint. No name, no other alias.

[stumbles out of wrecked truck]::The Joker: [to Batman] Come on, I want you to do it, I want you to do it. Come on, hit me. *Hit me!*

Happy: So why do they call him "The Joker"?::Dopey: I heard he wears make-up.::Happy: Make-up?::Dopey: Yeah, to scare people. You know, war paint.

Harvey Dent: Alfred, right?::Alfred Pennyworth: That's right, sir.::Harvey Dent: Yeah, Rachel talks about you all the time. You've known her, her whole life!::Alfred Pennyworth: Oh, not yet, sir.::Harvey Dent: Heh heh heh. Any psychotic ex-boyfriends I should be aware of?::Alfred Pennyworth: [smiles] Oh, you have no idea.

The Joker: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. We are tonight's entertainment! I only have one question. Where is Harvey Dent?::[nobody responds; The Joker walks around the room pointing with his shotgun at everyone]::The Joker: You know where Harvey is? You know who he is?::[grabs a man's face]::The Joker: You know where I can find Harvey? I need to talk to him about something. Just something, a little.::[turns the man's face away]::The Joker: No...
