[He throws completed batarang, embedding it in a wall.]

View Quote [Bruce looks and points his head at the "Tumbler" resting in the garage.]
Bruce Wayne: What's that?

View Quote [Bruce has just test-driven the "Tumbler".]
Lucius Fox: So, what do you think?

View Quote [Batman interrogates the corrupt Detective Flass while dangling him off the edge of a building.]

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]

[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]

View Quote Bruce Wayne: I wanted to save Gotham. I've failed.

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.

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.

Alfred: Precisely, sir.
