Scenes with Batman/Bruce Wayne

8 scenes
Batman

He's psychotic.

There are some people who say the samething about you.

Batman

What people?

Well lets face it, you're not exactly..."normal" are you?

Batman

It's not exactly a "normal" world, is it?

Nic

Don't kill me! Don't kill me, man! Don't kill me! Don't kill me, man!!

Batman

I'm not gonna kill you. I'd like you to do me a favor. I'd like you to tell all your friends about me.

Nic

What are you?!

Batman

I'm Batman.

Batman

I tried to save you.

You idiot! You made me, remember? You dropped me into that vat of chemicals. That wasn't easy to get over, and don't think that I didn't try!

Batman

I know you did. [punches Joker in the stomach]

Bruce

I know who you are. Let me tell you about this guy I know, Jack. Mean kid, bad seed, hurt people.

I like him already. (laughs)

Bruce

You know what the problem was? He got sloppy, then crazy. He started to lose it. He had a head full of bad wiring, I guess. Couldn't keep him straight up here. He was a kind of guy who couldn't hear a train until it was two feet from him. You know what happens now, Jack? Well, he made mistakes and he ended WITH HIS LIGHTS OUT!! YOU WANNA GET NUTS?!! COME ON, LET'S GET NUTS!!

Tell me something, my friend. Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?

Bruce

What?

I always ask that to all my prey. I just like the sound of it.
[Joker shoots Bruce]

Bruce

What's on your mind, Alfred?

Alfred

I have no wish to spend my few remaining years grieving for the loss of old friends. Or their sons.

Some people say that you're as dangerous as the Joker.

Batman

He's psychotic.

There are some people who say the same thing about you.

Batman

What people?

Well let's face it, you're not exactly..."normal", are you?

Batman

It's not exactly a "normal" world, is it?

Hi. Tell me if I'm crazy. But that wasn't just another night for either of us, was it? I mean, we both got to each other, didn't we? Why won't you let me in? Why?

Bruce

You got in.

I've loved you since I met you. But I don't know what to think of all this. I really don't.

Bruce

Look, sometimes I don't know what to think about this. It's just something I have to do.

Why?

Bruce

Because nobody else can. Look, I tried to avoid all this, but I can't. This is how it is. It's not a perfect world.

It doesn't have to be a perfect world. I just gotta know, are we going to try to love each other?

Bruce
[short pause]

I'd like to. But he's out there right now. And I've got to go to work.
