Bruce Wayne • The Batman
- Batman: Our scars can destroy us, even after the physical wounds have healed. But if we survive them, they can transform us. They can give us the power to endure, and the strength to fight.
- Alfred: If this continues, it won't be long before you've nothing left.
- Bruce Wayne: I don't care about that. Any of that.
- Alfred: You don't care about your family's legacy?
- Bruce Wayne: What I'm doing is my family's legacy.
- Batman: I'm starting to see now. I have had an effect here... but not the one I intended. Vengeance won't change the past, mine or anyone else's. I have to become more. People need hope. To know someone's out there for them.
- The Riddler: It can be cruel, poetic or blind. But when its denied, it's your violence you may find.
- Batman: Justice. The answer's justice.
- Batman: [Finds and holds up a USB flash drive with a severed thumb attached] Thumb Drive.
- James Gordon: Jesus.
- James Gordon: [Opens the flash drive on the computer] It's encrypted.
- Batman: [Dangles the severed thumb in front of Gordon and opens the thumbprint reader on the drive] Try this.
- James Gordon: Oh, this guy is hilarious.
- [Batman and Gordon explore an abandoned building; Gordon un-holsters his gun]
- Batman: No guns.
- James Gordon: Yeah, man, that's *your* thing.
- Batman: Thursday, October 31st. The city streets are crowded for the holiday. Even with the rain. Hidden in the chaos is the element, waiting to strike like snakes. And I'm there too. Watching. 2 years of nights have turned me into a nocturnal animal. I must choose my targets carefully. It's a big city. I can't be everywhere. But they don't know where I am. We have a signal now, for when I'm needed. When that light hits the sky, it's not just a call- it's a warning. To them. Fear is a tool. They think I'm hiding in the shadows. But I AM the shadows. I wish I could say I'm making a difference, but I don't know. Murder, robberies, assault- 2 years later, they're all up. And now this. This city's eating itself. Maybe it can't be saved, but i have to try. PUSH MYSELF. These nights all roll together in a rush, Behind the mask. Sometimes in the morning i have to force myself to remember everything that happened.
- The Riddler: You came.
- Batman: Who are you?
- The Riddler: Me? Nobody. I'm just an instrument, here to unmask the truth about this cesspool we call a city.
- Batman: Unmask?
- The Riddler: Yes! Let's do this together okay? You're part of this too.
- Batman: How am I a part of this?
- The Riddler: You'll see.
