View Quote [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...
View Quote [Bruce has just test-driven the "Tumbler".]
Lucius Fox: So, what do you think?
Bruce Wayne: Does it come in black?
View Quote [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!
View Quote Jumpy Thug: Where are you?!
Batman: [hanging upside down, right behind him] Here.
View Quote Carmine Falcone: [muttering to himself] What the hell are you?
[Batman bursts through the sun roof of Falcone's limousine.]
Batman: I'm Batman.
[Batman headbutts Falcone into unconsciousness, then sees the Homeless Man he traded coats with years earlier]
Batman: Nice coat.
[He flies off; the Homeless Man stares after him]
Homeless Man: Thanks.
View Quote [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: 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. [Leaving Falcone's cell] 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.
View Quote [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...
View Quote [After the power shuts down in Arkham]
Jonathan Crane: He's here.
Thug: Who?
Jonathan Crane: The Bat-Man.
View Quote Bruce Wayne: I wanted to save Gotham. I've failed.
Alfred: Why do we fall, Master Wayne? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up.
Bruce: You still haven't given up on me, have you?
Alfred: Never.
View Quote 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?
View Quote 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!
View Quote [Batman and Ducard/Ra's al Ghul battle on a speeding monorail.]
Ducard: Familiar! Have you learned nothing new? [swings sword at Batman, who traps it with his wrist guards]
Batman: How about this? [pulls wrists apart, shattering the sword]
View Quote 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?
[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.
View Quote [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.]
View Quote Batman: [knocks on new Bat-signal] Nice.
Gordon: Couldn't find any mob bosses.
Batman: Well, Sergeant?
Gordon: Oh, it's lieutenant now. You really started something. Bent cops running scared, hope on the streets...
Batman: But?
Gordon: The Narrows is lost. And we still haven't picked up Crane or half the inmates of Arkham that he freed.
Batman: We will. We can bring Gotham back.
Gordon: And what about escalation?
Batman: Escalation?
Gordon: We start carrying semi-automatics, they buy automatics. We start wearing Kevlar...they buy armor-piercing rounds.
Batman: And?
Gordon: And you're wearing a mask... and jumping off rooftops. Now, take this new guy. Armed robbery, double homicide. Got a taste for the theatrical. Like you. Leaves a calling card. [hands Batman a Joker playing card]
Batman: I'll look into it. [walks to edge of roof]
Gordon: I never said thank you.
Batman: [turns around to look at Gordon] And you'll never have to.
[Batman spreads his cape and leaps off the roof]
