Bruce Wayne:
They told me there was nothing out there, nothing to fear. But the night my parents were murdered I caught a glimpse of something. I've looked for it ever since. I went around the world, searched in all the shadows. And there is something out there in the darkness, something terrifying, something that will not stop until it gets revenge... Me.


Uniformed Policeman #1:
[describing the Batmobile] He is in a vehicle!
Dispatcher:
Make and color?
Uniformed Policeman #1:
It's a black...
[looks at his partner, who shrugs]
Uniformed Policeman #1:
...tank!


[Bruce is refusing to demonstrate his commitment to justice by executing a criminal]
Ra's Al Ghul:
You cannot lead these men unless you are prepared to do what is necessary to defeat evil.
Bruce Wayne:
And where would I be leading these men?
Ra's Al Ghul:
Gotham. As Gotham's favored son you will be ideally placed to strike at the heart of criminality.
Bruce Wayne:
How?
Ra's Al Ghul:
Gotham's time has come. Like Constantinople or Rome before it the city has become a breeding ground for suffering and injustice. It is beyond saving and must be allowed to die. This is the most important function of the League of Shadows. It is one we've performed for centuries. Gotham... must be destroyed.


Jumpy Thug:
[screaming] WHERE ARE YOU?
Batman:
[appears upside-down behind him, whispering] Here.


Dr. Jonathan Crane:
I am more than aware that you are not intimidated by *me*, Mr. Falcone. But you know who I'm working for, and when he gets here...
Carmine Falcone:
He-he's coming to Gotham?
Dr. Jonathan Crane:
Yes he is. And when he gets here, he's not gonna want to hear that you have endangered our operation just to get your thugs out of a little jail time.


Henri Ducard:
Are you ready to begin?
Bruce Wayne:
I-I can barely stand...
Henri Ducard:
[kicks him] Death does not wait for you to be ready! Death is not considerate, or fair! And make no mistake: here, you face Death.


Earle:
Jessica, where are you?
[walks into outer room]
Bruce Wayne:
[to Jessica] Eye on the ball, and...
Earle:
Why is no one answering the phone?
[sees Bruce from behind, teaching Jessica to play golf]
Bruce Wayne:
[turning around] It's Wayne Enterprises, Mr. Earle, I'm sure they'll call back.
Earle:
Bruce? You're supposed to be dead.
Bruce Wayne:
I'm sorry to disappoint.


Jim Gordon:
[sideswipes several cars; grimaces] Sorry!


Bruce Wayne:
You were on the board?
Lucius Fox:
When your father ran things, yeah.
Bruce Wayne:
You knew my father?
Lucius Fox:
Oh, yeah. Helped him build his train. Ah, here we are. Kevlar utility harness. Gas-powered magnetic grapple gun. The three hundred and fifty pound test monofilament. Wonderful project, your dad's train. Routed it right into Wayne Tower along with the water and power utilities. Kind of made Wayne Tower the unofficial centre of Gotham City. Of course, Earle let it go to rot. Here we are. Nomex survival suit for advanced infantry. Kevlar biweave, reinforced joints.


Ra's al Ghul:
You are just an ordinary man in a cape! That's why you couldn't fight injustice and that's why you can't stop this train!
Batman:
Who said anything about stopping it?
[Ra's al Ghul looks up, confused, and sees his own sword jammed into the brake panel]
Jim Gordon:
[blows up the train supports] Yes!
Batman:
[reverses his grip and pins Ra's al Ghul to the floor] You never learned to mind your surroundings!


[from trailer]
Henri Ducard:
You traveled the world... Now you must journey inwards... to what you really fear... it's inside you... there is no turning back. Your parents' death was not your fault. Your training is nothing. The will is everything. If you make yourself more than just a man, if you devote yourself to an ideal, you become something else entirely. Are you ready to begin?


Henri Ducard:
You must become more than just a man in the mind of your opponent.
