“He's the hero that Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right...” – Commissioner Gordon, The Dark Knight ... Movie Quotes Database

A scene from The Dark Knight 2008

[Batman has agreed to take the blame for Two-Face's murders so that Harvey Dent can be remembered as a hero]

He's the hero that Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now...and so we'll hunt him...because he can take it...because he's not our hero... he's a silent guardian, a watchful protector... the Dark Knight. [credits roll]
