I seek … the means to fight injustice. To turn fear against those who prey on
the fearful.
My anger outweighs my guilt.
The first time I stole so that I wouldn't starve. I lost many … assumptions
about the simple nature of right and wrong. And when I traveled … I learned
the fear before a crime … and the thrill of success. But I never became one of
them.
I will not become an executioner.
Gotham isn't beyond saving.
[On the duration of his stay in Gotham] As long as it takes to show the people
of Gotham that their city doesn't belong to the criminals and the corrupt.
[To the homeless man he traded with earlier in the movie] Nice coat.
[To Detective Flass, hanging upside down from grappling hook] Do I look like
a cop?!
[To Detective Flass] Swear to me!
[Talking to a group] Well, a guy who dresses up like a bat clearly has issues.
[To Alfred, in reference to keeping the guests busy] Tell them that joke you
know!
I don't have the luxury of friends.
You're not Ra's Al Ghul. I watched him die.
It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me. [Quoting
Rachel Dawes]
[To Falcone, who asks who he is] I'm Batman.
[From the theatrical trailer] They told me there was nothing out there,
nothing to fear. But the night my parents were murdered I caught a glimpse
of something. I've looked for it ever since. I went around the world, searched
in all the shadows. And there is something out there in the darkness,
something terrifying, something that will not stop until it gets revenge.
[pause] Me.
[To Alfred when asked why he chose to theme his gear around bats] Bats
frighten me. It's time my enemies shared my dread.
Who said anything about stopping it?
People need dramatic examples to shake them out of apathy, and I can't do
that as Bruce Wayne. As a man, I'm flesh and blood. I can be ignored, I can
be destroyed. But as a symbol … as a symbol, I can be incorruptible. I can be
everlasting.
You're not the devil … you're practice.
[To Lucius Fox after test-driving the "Tumbler"] Does it come in black?
I won't kill you. [Pause] But I don't have to save you. [To Ducard, just before
leaving him to crash in the train]
[To Rachel after she tells him good people are gone] I'm not one of your
good people.
[edit] Various
Thomas Wayne: And why do we fall, Bruce? So we can learn to pick
ourselves up.
Thomas Wayne: [last words] Don't be afraid.
Thomas Wayne: Gotham's been good to our family. But the city's been
suffering. People less fortunate than us have been enduring very hard times.
So we built a new, cheap, public transportation system to unite the city. And
at the center … Wayne Tower.
Mr. Earle: You're in excellent hands. We'll be watching the empire. When
you grow up, it'll be waiting for you.
Alfred: I give a damn, because a good man once made me responsible for
what was most precious to him in the whole world.
Joe Chill: Your honor, not a day goes by that I don't wish I could take back
what I did. Sure, I was desperate – like a lot of people back then – but that
don't change what I did.
Lucius Fox: [on why Batman's body armor was discontinued] They didn't
think that a soldier's life was worth three-hundred grand.
Lucius Fox: … and over here on the throttle: [flips open afterburner guard]
flip that open and throttle up. This will boost you into a rampless jump.
[Bruce presses the button] Not now!!!
Police Officer: [trying to describe the Batmobile] It's a black … tank!
Police Officer: Can you at least tell me what it looks like? [Batmobile
thunders by] Never mind …
Police Officer: What Road is he on? [2nd Officer looks up at a building] He's
not on a road, he's flying on rooftops.
Lucius Fox: You expecting to run into much gunfire in these caves?
Lucius Fox: I don't think they tried marketing to the billionaire base-
jumping, spelunking crowd.
[edit] Dialogue
[Bruce Wayne and a prisoner are in the morning chow line, Wayne looks at a
fellow prisoner]
Prisoner: They are going to fight you.
Bruce Wayne: Again?
Prisoner: Until they kill you.
Bruce Wayne: Can they kill me before breakfast?
[A fellow prisoner accosts Bruce Wayne in the morning chow line]
Prisoner: You are in hell, little man. And I … am the devil.
Bruce Wayne: You're not the devil. You're practice.
Thomas Wayne:You know why [the bats] attacked you, don't you? They
were afraid of you.
Young Bruce Afraid of me?
Thomas Wayne: All creatures feel fear.
Young Bruce: Even the scary ones?
Thomas Wayne: Especially the scary ones.
Ducard: Are you so desperate to fight criminals that you lock yourself in to
take them on one at a time?
Bruce Wayne: Actually, uh, there were seven of them.
Ducard: I counted six, Mister Wayne.
Ducard: If you make yourself more than just a man, if you devote yourself to
an ideal, then you become something else entirely.
Bruce Wayne: Which is?
Ducard: A legend, Mister Wayne.
[Bruce looks and points his head at the "Tumbler" resting in the garage]
Bruce Wayne: What's that?
Lucius Fox: The Tumbler? Oh, you wouldn't be interested in that …
[Batman interrogates the corrupt Detective Flass while dangling him off the
edge of a building]
Det. Flass: I swear to God!
Batman: Swear to me!
[On arriving at the docks & noticing drug dealers being arrested]
Cop at Docks: Falcone's men?
Gordon: Does it matter? We'll never tie him to it anyway.
Cop at Docks: I wouldn't be to sure of that.
[They notice Falcone strapped tight to a police searchlight almost forming a
bat-like symbol in the sky]
[The jailed Falcone has demanded to speak with Dr. Crane, director of
Arkham Asylum]
Carmine Falcone: Yeah, Dr. Crane, I can't take it anymore. It's all too
much. The walls are closing in. Blah, blah, blah. Couple more days of this
food, it'll be true.
Dr. Crane: What do you want?
Carmine Falcone: I want to know how you're gonna convince me to keep
my mouth shut.
Dr. Crane: About what? You don't know anything.
Carmine Falcone: I know you wouldn't want the police to take a closer look
at those drugs they found. And I know about your experiments with the
inmates of your nuthouse. See, I don't go into business with a guy without
finding out his dirty secrets. And those goons you used, I own the muscle in
this town. Now, I've been bringing your stuff in for months, so whatever he's
planning, it's big, and I want in.
Dr. Crane: Well, I already know what he'll say: that we should kill you.
Carmine Falcone: Even he can't get me in here. Not in my town.
Dr. Crane: [sighes, then matter-of-factly] Would you like to see my mask? I
use it in my experiments. Probably not very frightening to a guy like you, but
these crazies, they can't stand it.
Carmine Falcone: So when did the nut take over the nuthouse?
[Falcone begins to scream as Crane's fear-inducing gas takes effect]
Dr. Crane: They scream and they cry, much as you're doing now.
[Outside Falcone's cell]
Dr. Crane: Well, he's not faking, not this one. I'll talk to the judge and see if
I can get him moved to the secure wing at Arkham. I can't treat him here.
[Bruce wants Lucius Fox to mass-produce the antidote for Crane's fear gas]
Lucius Fox: Planning on gassing yourself again, Mister Wayne?
Bruce Wayne: Well, you know how it is: it's late at night, and you're out
looking for kicks, and somebody starts passing out the weaponised
hallucinogens …
Rachel Dawes: Wait! You could die! At least tell me your name.
Batman: It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me.
Rachel: Bruce?
Rachel Dawes: [consoling a scared little boy] It's OK, they aren't going to
hurt you.
[A masked and mounted Scarecrow leads the rampaging Arkham inmates]
Scarecrow Of course they are!
Rachel Dawes: Crane?
Scarecrow: No … Scarecrow!
Ducard: Don't be afraid, Bruce. You're just an ordinary man in a cape. That's
why you can't fight injustice, and that's why you can't stop this train.
Batman: Who said anything about stopping it?
[Ducard turns to see that Batman has destroyed the train's brakes, as an
explosion destroys the tracks ahead]
Batman: [overpowering Ducard] You never learned to mind your
surroundings.
Ducard: Have you finally learned to do what is necessary?
Batman: I won't kill you. But I don't have to save you.
[Bruce has announced his plan to rebuild Wayne Manor "brick by brick"]
Alfred: Exactly the way it was, sir?
Bruce: Yeah. Why?
Alfred: I was just thinking this could be a chance to … improve the
foundation.
Bruce: In the southeast wing?
Alfred: Precisely, sir.
[The Batcave is located under the southeast wing of Wayne Manor]
[As Gordon is taking out the trash, he sees Batman perched on a railing next
to his house]
Batman: Storm's coming.
Gordon: The scum's getting jumpy ever since you stood up to Falcone.
Batman: It's a start. Your partner was at the docks with Falcone.
Gordon: Yeah, well, he moonlights as a low-level enforcer.
Batman: They were splitting the shipment in two. Only half went to the
dealers.
Gordon: Where was it going?
Batman: Flass knows.
Gordon: He won't talk.
Batman: He'll talk to me.
Gordon: Comissioner Loeb set up a massive task force to capture you. He
thinks you're dangerous.
Batman: What do you think?
Gordon: I think you're trying to help … [he sees that Batman has already
left] … but I've been wrong before.
[As Wayne takes money out of his wallet and gives it to the Homeless Man]
Homeless Man: For what?
Bruce Wayne: Your jacket.
Homeless Man: Okay …
[As he takes it off, Bruce prepares to throw his own into the fire]
Homeless Man: Hey, let me have it. It's a nice coat.
[They switch coats]
Bruce Wayne: Be careful who sees you with that. They're going to come
looking for me.
Homeless Man: Who?
Bruce Wayne: Everyone.
[He runs off]
[The Homeless Man holds up the coat, looking at it]
Homeless Man: It's a nice coat …
[Rachel is about to be murdered and pulls out a taser, the criminal runs
away]
Rachel: [yelling] That's right, you better run!
[Rachel turns around to see that Batman is standing behind her, startles her
and she fires the taser, Batman just looks at the cables and calmly removes
them]
Batman: Falcone sent these men to kill you.
Rachel: Why?
Batman: You rattled his cage.
Rachel: [Batman throws some photos at her feet] What's this?
Batman: Leverage.
Rachel: For what?
Batman: To get things moving.
Rachel: Who are you?
Batman: Someone like you. Someone who'd rattle the cages.
[Rachel bends to pick up the photos and as she goes back up, Batman is
gone]'
