Bruce Wayne (Batman)

— What gives you the right? What's the difference between you and me?
— I'm not wearing hockey pads.

I'm whatever Gotham needs me to be.

You're out at night, looking for kicks, someone's passing around the weaponized hallucinogens...

— As a symbol I can be incorruptible, I can be everlasting.
— What symbol?
— Something elemental, something terrifying.

— You're vigilantes.
— No, no, no. A vigilante is just a man lost in the scramble for his own gratification. He can be destroyed, or locked up. But if you make yourself more than just a man, if you devote yourself to an ideal, and if they can't stop you, then you become something else entirely.
— Which is?
— Legend, Mr. Wayne.

What were you trying to prove? That deep down, everyone's as ugly as you? You're alone.

— Solitary.
— Why?
— For protection.
— I don't need protection.
— Protection for them.

— You are stronger than your father.
— You didn't know my father.
— But I know the rage that drives you. That impossible anger strangling the grief, until the memory of your loved one is just... poison in your veins. And one day, you catch yourself wishing the person you loved had never existed so you'd be spared your pain.
