"The training is nothing...the will is everything!"

Always my favorite, next to the closing lines of BB between Gordon and Bats.
 
The first option, for me, vibrates throughout the whole trilogy, because it's what Bruce pretty much wants to accomplish.
 
Voted for Ra's' line about being a legend.

But my favorite that's not on the list would have to be:

"I'm whatever Gotham needs me to be"

or

"You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain"
 
This:

"It's not about what I want...it's about what's FAIR! You thought we could be decent men in an indecent time. But we were wrong. The world is cruel, and the only morality in a cruel world is chance...unbiased...unprejudiced...fair."

and this:

"Sometimes the truth isn't good enough. Sometimes, people deserve more. Sometimes, people deserve to have their faith rewarded."
 
This:

"It's not about what I want...it's about what's FAIR! You thought we could be decent men in an indecent time. But we were wrong. The world is cruel, and the only morality in a cruel world is chance...unbiased...unprejudiced...fair."

and this:

"Sometimes the truth isn't good enough. Sometimes, people deserve more. Sometimes, people deserve to have their faith rewarded."

Looooove those quotes :up:
 
I voted for the sometimes the truth isn't good enough line. I love the TDK ending.
 
"i'm batman."

i'm also quite partial to the bit from the old prison doctor to bruce in tdkr telling him how the fear of death is the greatest of motivators. it went something like "how can you move faster than possible, fight longer than possible without the most powerful impulse of the spirit: the fear of death?"
 
Their are so many but for this poll I gotta give it to Liam as Ra's

"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. A legend, Mr. Wayne, a legend."
 
The quote itself is no good without the actual exchange but...
"I never said thank you."
"And you'll never have to."

Sums up so much about Batman right there.
 
Lots of great quotes. I figured I would mention a few that haven't been posted:

Bruce in Begins: "My anger outways my guilt"
Ra's in Begins: "Theatricality and deception are powerful agents. You must become more than just a man in the mind of your opponent"
 
Also Gordon's quote in TDKR which I can't recall word for word where he tries to justify his part in the lie to Blake. Something about hoping that Blake has a friend like he had, someone who'll plunge their hands in to the dirt so that he could keep his clean.

Basically any time Gordon talks about Batman in this trilogy the dialogue is gold. :woot:
 
My personal favorite isn't just one quote. It's everything the Joker says when he's in holding, pretty much everything from "Evening, Commissioner" to "I just want my phone call."
 
This is up there with my favorite quotes from the trilogy:

"I do fear death. I fear dying in here, while my city burns with no one to save it."
 
Oh, my gosh I don't know which to choose! They're all so good! Nolan just has amazing dialogue in each of his Batman films. One of my faves though is Dent's "You either die a hero..." line. Such a good line, and yes, so true of almost all of the main characters. This line should definitely be added!
 
"There's no goin back. See to them, you're just a freak...like me!" - Joker

"Light it up" - Batman to Gordon
 
My favorite quote is "Peace has cost you your strength. Victory has defeated you."
Great quote...

IMDB has "Age has cost you your strength"

But your version makes more sense. Which one is really correct?
 
I love a lot of quotes in this trilogy but the one that's always stuck with me is, "You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain."

I also like, "This city deserves a better class of criminal...and I'm going to give it to them."
 
Every word from rahs al ghoul first scene, Liam's voice sounds incredible attached to those lines.
 
I heard "Why do we fall?" heard in TDKR, my life is complete. :D
