20"I’m Batman."
Bruce Wayne/Batman (Batman Begins)
For a film with " Batman " in the title , Batman Beginsspends a lot of time with Bruce Wayne before the Caped Crusader appears . That is not a risky thing , however , and it made this iconic Batman quote impinge on all the harder when it finally indicate up in the film . When Batman set down on the car and pulls out Carmine Falcone ( Tom Wilkinson ) , it is a chilling instant assisted by a revulsion - similar atmosphere to the scene . This is an unforgettable Batman moment that solidified Christian Bale ’s new reign as the character .

Like Batman , Dent is a symbol of promise and goodness in Gotham , and this is aDark Knightquote that ’s rout out even when taken out of its original context .
Though some viewing audience may have preferred to see more of Dent in his genuine Two - Face form , Nolan brilliantly understood that the superpower of the fiber rests in who he is before his downfall . Batman has no shortage of red , mentally unsound criminals in his rogues gallery , but few set out off as such okay citizen as Dent ( at least in this rendering ) . This cable perfectly summarizes that duality and , with it , Dent ’s fictitious character arc overall .

Henri Ducard (Batman Begins)
Batman Beginsis tight - paced in its establishing of Bruce Wayne and his backstory , but the moving picture draw the most out of his training with Henri Ducard ( Liam Neeson ) and the League of Shadows . There is a lot of wisdom add to Wayne by the secret Ra ’s Al Guhl , including this tidbit about will . Will is a prominent part of the Batman lineament throughout the trilogy . While Ducard mean it in a more evil way , Bruce ’s perpetual will to play , to do goodness , and to protect Gotham by being whatever Gotham needs him to be is a defining view of the eccentric .
This minute is also aninteresting insight into one of Batman ’s more thought - inducing cinematic villain . There ’s little doubt that what Ra ’s wants to do with Gotham - combust it to the ground and start over - is incorrect , but given how profoundly corrupt and loathsome it is , he ’s not add up from a position too unlike to Bruce . Batman , after all , is retribution , and this scene lay the groundwork for the subtly of that philosophy that separates it from inhumaneness .

The Joker (The Dark Knight)

This is n’t Joker ’s first view inThe Dark Knight , but it ’s arguably his right introduction as the Joker . The misrepresented self-assurance he shows while interacting with some of the most dangerous the great unwashed in Gotham isa great instance of show - don’t - William Tell storytelling .

Falcone is one of the more underrated and underutilized villain of theDark Knighttrilogy , but quotes like this show that he does get his moment to shine .
Without Bruce ’s interaction with Falcone , he may never have adopted the Batman part at all . While the outlaw of Gotham may rely on mystery and fright to sustain their restraint , they are n’t immune to it themselves . Of of course , this demarcation becomes dry later in the film when Batman corners a terrified Falcone and flips the book .

Christopher Nolan has a serious knack for opening scenes , fromInceptiontoTenet , andThe Dark Knighthas one of his best so far . The heist sequence at the beginning of the film all head to this shuddery quote from Heath Ledger ’s Joker . Joker has a miscellany of excellentDark Knightquotes , but as this one is come with by the reveal of his warpaint makeup and facial scars , it stands out above many others .
What seduce the quote so interesting is thatit reveals the subtle but important difference between Joker and less " principled " villains .

However , Joker is out to prove a message - one that random killings do n’t accomplish . end is a pecker in his repertory without uncertainty , but senseless killing does n’t move his agenda forward .

Tom Hardy had a lot to live up to as the next chief villain in theDark Knighttrilogy follow Heath Ledger ’s Oscar - win carrying out inThe Dark Knight , buthe made Bane a captivating bearing throughoutThe Dark Knight Riseswith his own distinctly maniac personality through quotation like this . Bane read this just before blow up a series of explosives at a football game , beginning his plan to seize control of Gotham urban center . It ’s a dark consequence in the moving-picture show , but this extremely memorable villain quote from theDark Knighttrilogy gives it just the veracious amount of levity for what is still a superhero pic .
Moreover , the tantrum pretend to differentiate Bane and the Joker . While the Joker prefers more personal wildness to prove his philosophical musings right , Bane is n’t above stack killing and collateral to make control via shock - and - fear . Bane may have a repute as a muscularity - limit bruiser , but he really prefer to habituate his mind and reputation over his brawn .

Batman (Batman Begins)
This Batman quote fromBatman Beginsis one of Christian Bale ’s most iconic moment as the Caped Crusader . He says it as he dangles crooked Gotham PD cop Arnold Flass ( Mark Boone Junior ) from the top of a building to question him . Flass swears to God that he ’s speaking the truth , which sets Batman up perfectly from one of the most memorableDark Knighttrilogy quote .
It ’s a line that remain firm out so much that it understandably left itself open to parody and imitation , and it ’s become pretty like Michael Keaton ’s famous " countenance ’s get nuts " line from the original Tim BurtonBatmanmovie . The line is , of class , lightheaded , butit ’s the conviction with which it ’s delivered by Bale that makes it work . The scene overall is a swell example of Batman ’s willingness to apply fear against anyone and everyone and the degree to which it can be more effective than raw force .
