Bruce Wayne Quotes

Blood. Take. Take poison. Blood poison. Poison. Poisonous.

Watch for my sign.

Well, a guy who dresses up like a bat clearly has issues.

Bruce Wayne : Everyone. Everybody.
Bruce Wayne : I, uh... I wanna thank you all for coming here tonight and drinking all of my booze.
Bruce Wayne : No, really. Uh... There's a thing about being a Wayne that... you're never short of a few freeloaders, like yourselves, to fill up your mansion with, so, here's to you people. Thank you.
Fredericks : That's enough, Bruce.
Bruce Wayne : Mm... I'm not finished. To all of you, uh, all you phonies, all of you two-faced friends, you sycophantic suck-ups who smile through your teeth at me, please leave me in peace. Please go. Stop smiling. It's not a joke. Please leave. The party's over. Get out.
Fredericks : The apple has fallen very far from the tree, Mr. Wayne.

Batman : Well, Sergeant...
Jim Gordon : It's Lieutenant now.

Earle : Happy birthday, Bruce.
Bruce Wayne : Mr. Earle. How did the stock offering go?
Earle : Very well. The price soared.
Bruce Wayne : Who was buying?
Earle : A variety of funds and brokerages - it's all a bit technical, but the key thing is, our company's future is secure.

Bruce Wayne : Tear resistant?
Lucius Fox : This sucker will stop a knife.
Bruce Wayne : Bulletproof?
Lucius Fox : Anything but a straight shot.
Bruce Wayne : Why didn't they put it into production?
Lucius Fox : Bean counters didn't think a soldier's life was worth 300 grand. So, what's your interest in it, Mr. Wayne?
Bruce Wayne : I wanna borrow it. For, uh, spelunking.
Lucius Fox : Spelunking?
Bruce Wayne : Yeah, you know, cave diving.
Lucius Fox : You expecting to run into much gunfire in these caves?
Bruce Wayne : Look, I'd rather Mr. Earle didn't know about me borrowing...
Lucius Fox : Mr. Wayne, the way I see it, all this stuff is yours anyway.

Ra's al Ghul : Have you finally learned to do what is necessary?
Bruce Wayne : I won't kill you.
Bruce Wayne : ... But I don't have to save you

Ra's al Ghul : Tomorrow the world will watch in horror as its greatest city destroys itself. The movement back to harmony will be unstoppable this time.
Bruce Wayne : You attacked Gotham before?
Ra's al Ghul : Of course. Over the ages, our weapons have grown more sophisticated. With Gotham, we tried a new one: Economics. But we underestimated certain of Gotham's citizens... such as your parents. Gunned down by one of the very people they were trying to help. Create enough hunger and everyone becomes a criminal. Their deaths galvanized the city into saving itself... and Gotham has limped on ever since. We are back to finish the job. And this time no misguided idealists will get in the way. Like your father, you lack the courage to do all that is necessary. If someone stands in the way of true justice... you simply walk up behind them and stab them in the heart.

Bruce Wayne : Bats are nocturnal.
Alfred Pennyworth : Bats may be, but even for billionaire playboys, three o'clock is pushing it. The price of leading a double life, I fear. Your theatrics made an impression.
Bruce Wayne : Theatricality and deception are powerful weapons, Alfred. It's a good start.
Alfred Pennyworth : If those are to be the first of many injuries to come, it would be wise to find a suitable excuse. Polo, for instance.
Bruce Wayne : I'm not learning polo, Alfred.
Alfred Pennyworth : Strange injuries a non-existent social life, these things beg the question as to what exactly does Bruce Wayne do with his time and his money.
Bruce Wayne : And what does someone like me do?
Alfred Pennyworth : Drive sports cars, date movie stars, buy things that are not for sale... who knows, Master Wayne? You start pretending to have fun, you might even have a little by accident.

Batman : Nice.
Jim Gordon : I couldn't find any mob bosses.
Batman : Well, Sergeant?
Jim Gordon : Oh, it's Lieutenant now. You really started something. Bent cops running scared, hope on the streets.
Batman : But?
Jim Gordon : We still haven't picked up Crane or half the inmates of Arkham that he freed.
Batman : We will. We can bring Gotham back.
Jim Gordon : What about escalation?
Batman : Escalation?
Jim Gordon : We start carrying semi-automatics, they buy automatics. We start wearing Kevlar, they buy armor piercing rounds.
Batman : And?
Jim Gordon : And, you're wearing a mask. Jumping off rooftops. Now, take this guy.
Jim Gordon : Armed robbery, double homicide, has a taste for the theatrical, like you. Leaves a calling card.
Batman : I'll look into it.
Jim Gordon : I never said thank you.
Batman : And you'll never have to.

Jumpy Thug :WHERE ARE YOU?
Batman :Here.

Lucius Fox :The Tumbler? Oh you wouldn't be interested in that.
Lucius Fox : She was built as a bridging vehicle. During combat, two of these would jump over a river, towing cables. Over here on the throttle, flip that open and throttle up. This will boost you into a rampless jump.
Lucius Fox : Not now! Not... not now, Sir
The Tumbler : Afterburner disengaged.
Lucius Fox : We never could get the damn bridge to work, but this baby works just fine.
Lucius Fox : So what do you think?
Bruce Wayne : Does it come in black?

Valet : Nice car.
Bruce Wayne : You should see my other one.

Carmine Falcone : You're taller than you look in the tabloids, Mr. Wayne.
Carmine Falcone : No gun? I'm insulted! You could have just sent a thank-you note.
Bruce Wayne : I didn't come here to thank you. I came here to show you that not everyone in Gotham's afraid of you.
Carmine Falcone : Only those who know me, kid. Look around you: you'll see two councilmen, a union official, a couple off-duty cops, and a judge.
Carmine Falcone : Now, I wouldn't have a second's hesitation of blowing your head off right here and right now in front of 'em. Now, that's power you can't buy! That's the power of fear.
Bruce Wayne : I'm not afraid of you.
Carmine Falcone : Because you think you got nothing to lose. But you haven't thought it through. You haven't thought about your lady-friend down at the D.A.'s office. You haven't thought about your old butler. Bang!
Carmine Falcone : People from your world have so much to lose. Now, you think because your mommy and your daddy got shot, you know about the ugly side of life, but you don't. You've never tasted desperate. You're, uh, you're Bruce Wayne, the Prince of Gotham; you'd have to go a thousand miles to meet someone who didn't know your name. So, don't-don't come down here with your anger, trying to prove something to yourself. This is a world you'll never understand. And you always fear what you don't understand. Alright.
Carmine Falcone : Yeah, you got spirit, kid. I'll give you that. More than your old man, anyway. In the joint, Chill told me, uh, told me about the night he killed your parents. He said your father begged for mercy. Begged. Like a dog.

Enormous Prisoner : You are in hell, little man!
Enormous Prisoner : And I am the devil!
Bruce Wayne : You're not the devil. You're practice.

Jim Gordon : I never said thank you.
Batman : And you'll never have to.
