Batman One-Liners

[Ibn]

I was just thinking about how many "Why So Serious" tattoos I've seen over the past couple of years. It got me thinking about how I never see any Batman quotes ANYWHERE. I think he's had some damn good, if not the best, one liners in all of Comic Moviedom. I was wondering what you guys' favorite movie Bat-quotes are.

My favorite is far and away "It's not exactly a normal world."

His delivery was somehow both menacing and melancholy, which, I think, encapsulates the spirit of the character. He's acknowledging that what he's doing isn't exactly a prototypical approach to solving the type of situation he's in. It says alot about his personality. It's the truest representation of the character in any movie - live or animated - in my opinion.

So what are some of your favorite bat-quotes or one liners from the movies, live or animated?

Batman (1989)

• "I want you to tell all your friends about me."
• "He's psychotic."
• "They're great survivors."
• "I made you...you made me first."

Batman Forever (1995)

• "If Bruce Wayne could've given his life for your family, he would have."
• "...until one terrible morning, you wake up and realize that revenge has become your whole life...and you won't know why."
• "The figure in the dark was my destiny; it would change my life forever. I would use its image to strike terror into the hearts of those who did evil. I would ensure what happened to me would never happen to anyone else again. I would have my revenge."

Batman Begins (2005)

• "I seek...the means to fight injustice...to turn fear against those who prey on the fearful."
• "Bats frighten me; its time my enemy shared my dread."
• "Swear to me!!!"
• "Nice coat."

The Dark Knight (2008)

• "Today I learned what Batman can't be. He can't survive this. Today, you get to say I told you so."
• "Accomplice? I'm gonna tell them the whole thing was your idea."
• "I'm whatever Gotham needs me to be."

The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

• "Batman could be anyone...even someone draping a jacket over a frightened boy's shoulders, to let him know the world hadn't ended."

^You totally got the Rises quote wrong.

You don't get it, son. This isn't a mudhole... It's an operating table. And I'm the surgeon.

I was doing them from memory, and its been a couple of months since I last saw "Rises".

A few from me:

“I’m Batman”
“Have you ever danced with the devil by the pale moonlight?”
“Where does he get those wonderful toys?”
“Meow.”
“I’m Catwoman, hear me roar.”
“Riddle me this, riddle me that, who's afraid of the big, black bat?”

“You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.”
“Why so serious?”
“Whatever doesn’t kill you simply makes you…stranger.”
“Wanna know how I got these scars?”

“I’m Gotham’s reckoning.”
“Ah, yes... I was wondering what would break first... your spirit, or your body?”
“There’s a storm coming, Mr Wayne.”
“I’m adaptable.”
“Maybe you're being unrealistic about what's really in your pants other than your wallet.”
“This isn't a car.”
“Not everything, not yet.”
“So that’s what that feels like.”

Im sure the OP means just Batman one-liners, not the villains. But all of those are great of course.

"You wanna get nuts?! C'mon, lets get nuts!!"

 

[Travesty]

Heh, "nice coat".

 

[Batman Forever]

"Eat floor." "High fiber."

Batman has a lot of good lines...but most of them aren't as iconic/flashy as "Why So serious", "Wait'll they get a load of me", The "You adopted the dark" speech, etc.

Actually, Kane summed it up perfectly. This is THE Batman movie line....

"I'm Batman."

From TDKR when he's talking to Selina:

"Bruce Wayne, eccentric billionaire"
"Not everything, not yet"
"This isn't a car"
"I have a powerful friend who deals with things like this"
"They know, they just don't care"

The scene with Batman and Catwoman in the tunnels is great.

Catwoman: "These guys aren't your average brawlers"
Batman: "Neither am I"

Catwoman: "He's behind you"
Mercenary: "Who?"
Batman: "Me"

Also, I love these:

Robin: "What now?"
Batman: "All-out assault on Bane"

And the scene where Talia stabs Batman and is talking about "the slow knife" and then presses the button, I love Batman's response:

"Maybe your knife....was too slow"

Harvey Dent: "You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain" - The Dark Knight

 

[Bruce Banner]

"Merry Christmas, Alfred. Good will toward men...and women."

"Oh, and give Knox a grant."

[Senator Pleasury]

Batman in Frank Miller's B:TDKR.

 

[Lord]

Yeah, i knew i heard it before but not in the live action movies, i thought for a second that it was from All-Star Batman and Robin

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Batman:

"I'm Batman"

"Shields up"

Batman Begins:

"You're not the Devil, you're practice"

"I don't need protection"

"Bats scare me Alfred, Time to share my fear with my enemies"

"Does it come in black?"

"I brought mine"

"You should see my other one" in reply to the "Nice Car"

• "Batman could be anyone...even someone draping a jacket over a frightened boy's shoulders, to let him know the world hadn't ended."

Batman could be anyone.. as long as they trained with professional ninjas and are a billionaire who can afford all those gadgets.

"Some days you can't get rid of a bomb"

Batman 1966: "They may be drinkers, Robin, but they're also human beings"

Batman & Robin: "Hi, Freeze. I'm Batman!"

I want the second one on my tombstone. If I'm still overweight when I die I want "What killed the dinosaurs? McDonald's!"
