It's not who you are underneath, it's what you do that defines you. It doesn't matter who you really are, it matters what you do. To conquer fear, you must become fear. It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me. Alfred, you see, my parents died forty-five feet from here, from the sins of this city. I deserve to fight - until I die, I deserve to fight. he's the hero Gotham deserves... but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him, because he can take it. Because he's not our hero...he's a silent guardian, a watchful protector... a dark knight. Sometimes you don't need a plan, you just have to live, believe in life, relax and see what happens next. Keep this light on, it's not just for the bats. Or for those scumbags who treat Gotham as a playground, for those robin birds, for those who are in the trenches with us, for those who get hurt, for that bat mask, who is now dead and unknown Man...let it light up...you don't trust anyone in this world, including yourself. You want to save the victims of this world, except yourself. Justice is to maintain social harmony, and revenge is only for the sake of temporary success.

    To be honest, after the plot of the comic is moved to the big screen, it looks particularly silly.

    Nolan reversed the direction of this series, amazing.

Batman Begins quotes

  • The Scarecrow: [riding through a riot on a hooded horse] There's nothing to fear but fear itself!

  • Batman: [has laid a snare-trap which yanks Flass by his leg 70 feet into the air] Where were the other drugs going?

    Flass: I never knew. I don't know. I swear to God...

    Batman: Swear to *me*!

    [He rapidly lowers a screaming Flass and then yanks him back up]

    Flass: I don't... I don't know. I never knew. Never. They went to some guy for a couple of days before they went to the dealers.

    Batman: Why?

    Flass: There was something... Something else in the drugs... something hidden.

    Batman: What?

    Flass: I never went to the drop-off point. It was in the Narrows. Cops only go there when they're in force.

    Batman: Do I look like a cop?

    Flass: No...!

    [rapidly lowers Flass once more before dropping him to the ground]
