I had this fantasy, that I would look across the tables and I'd see you there, with a wife and maybe a couple of kids. You wouldn't say anything to me, nor me to you. But we'd both know that you'd made it, that you were happy. I never wanted you to come back to Gotham. I always knew there was nothin…

Dear Bruce. I need to be honest and clear. I'm going to marry Harvey Dent. I love him, and I want to spend the rest of my life with him. When I told you that if Gotham no longer needed Batman we could be together, I meant it. But now I'm sure the day won't come when *you* no longer need Batman. I ho…

You thought we could be decent men, in an indecent time! But you were wrong. The world is cruel, and the only morality in a cruel world is chance. Unbiased, unprejudiced... fair.
In their last moments, people show you who they really are. So in a way, I know your friends better than you ever did. Would you like to know which of them were cowards?
Alfred Pennyworth: Why do we fall sir? So we might learn to pick ourselves up. Bruce Wayne: You still haven't given up on me? Alfred Pennyworth: Never.
Henri Ducard: Your compassion is a weakness your enemies will not share. Bruce Wayne: That's why it's so important. It separates us from them.
It's not just your name, sir! It's your father's name! And it's all that's left of him. Don't destroy it.
Selina Kyle: There's a storm coming. Bruce Wayne: You sound like you're looking forward to it. Selina Kyle: I'm adaptable.
Don't talk like one of them. You're not! Even if you'd like to be. To them, you're just a freak, like me! They need you right now, but when they don't, they'll cast you out, like a leper! You see, their morals, their code, it's a bad joke. Dropped at the first sign of trouble. They're only as good a…
You start pretending to have fun, you might even have a little by accident.
You are as precious to me as you were to your own mother and father. I swore to them that I would protect you, and I haven't.
I knew Harvey Dent. I was his friend. And it will be a very long time before someone... Inspires us the way he did. I believed in Harvey Dent.
Some men just want to watch the world burn.
The night is darkest just before the dawn. And I promise you, the dawn is coming.
When Gotham is ashes, you have my permission to die.

Endure, Master Wayne. Take it. They'll hate you for it, but that's the point of Batman, he can be the outcast. He can make the choice that no one else can make, the right choice.
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.
Nobody panics when things go according to plan. Even if the plan is horrifying.
