The Dark Knight Rises Best quote of the trilogy

[Batmatic]

Yeah like this one a lot too, should be on the list.

I'm surprised not to see this on the list. Definitely my favorite of the trilogy.

 

[Slushy]

BB - "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." - Ras Al Ghul

TDK - "You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain." - Harvey Dent

TDKR - "Your punishment must be more severe." - Bane

 

[Valkyrje]

Not everything, not yet.

 

[Two-Face]

Ra's al Ghul: "If someone stands in the way of true justice, you simply walk up behind them and stab them in the heart."

Ra's Al Ghul: "Only a cynical man would call what these people have "lives" Wayne. Crime, despair.... this is not how man suppose to live."

Bruce Wayne: "I stand where I belong, between you and the people of Gotham."

Best ones from BB.

"Why so serious?"

That is the quote that everybody will remember from this franchise twenty years from now. It is the "May the Force be with you" of this generation.

"Why so serious?"

That is the quote that everybody will remember from this franchise twenty years from now. It is the "May the Force be with you" of this generation.

Its probably the most quoted one, yeah.

 

[TLH]

Bane's darkness speech was excellent, definitely worthy of the poll. But I voted for "sometimes the truth isn't good enough"

 

[Ecuanime]

I love all the quotes mention plus the Falcone scene in BB when he sticks the gun in young Bruce's and says "now that's power money can't buy!" That whole speech just brings Bruce, after coming in thinking he's billy baddass, to the harsh reality of crime and corruption.

Also Joker hospital scene: "Introduce a litte anarchy..." It's my favorites speech b/c, not only is it funny at times, but you actually see how Joker is able to convince and corrupt others to join in the chaos of the world.

 

[Greens]

The great thing about his speeches is that there's elements of truth to them.

 

[Ecuanime]

I think "You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain" is something that applies throughout the franchise and thus, is perhaps the "best" quote of the trilogy.

It's line that applies to Dent, Bruce, Gordon and even Bane.

Yeah, definitely should be on the list.

I voted for "I think you and I are destined to do this forever," since it really captures the Batman/Joker dynamic perfectly. But then I read the OP, and by those criteria I would want to change my vote to #1.

" now if you excuse me, I have a city to destroy "
Lol

" as a symbol....I can be everlasting "
Aaaand .... Statue

 

[D4rkShaDoWz]

"Why do we fall..." sums up the entire trilogy IMO and makes everything come full circle

 

[GrimmReaper7]

Im not wearing hockey pads!!!

 

[Patty]

It's a long one, but...

"You fight like a younger man, with nothing held back. Admirable… but mistaken. Ahhh you think darkness is your ally? But you merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn’t see the light until I was already a man, and by then it was nothing to me but blinding. The shadows betray you because they belong to me."

SHE SHADOWS BETRAY YOU BECAUSE THEY BELONG TO ME!!!

UNH!!! F**K YOU, BATMAN!

 

[Polaris23]

"Oh no that's NOT good!"

 

[Micromind]

Bane : "No one cared who I was, until I put on the mask. "

Bane : "Peace has cost you your strength. Victory has defeated you!"

 

[Brother Jack]

Which quote best sums up the Nolan/Batman universe for you?

"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. A legend, Mr. Wayne."

 

[Micromind]

[chant]

Bruce : "what does it mean ?"

Prisoner : "Rise".

[BatManFan_NYC]

I was hoping "What? They don't like falafel?" would appear...

LMAO!! I love this forum! and I thought I was the only one quoting these obscure references at work

 

[Uroboric Forms]

"I'm Batman"
-Batman

 

[Ipodman]

"This isn't a car"

But seriously,

"You either die a hero, or you... become the villain"

 

[Rockbottom]

Gordon's speech at the end of TDK while Batman is trying to run from the police and the dogs while bouncing off the walls hes that hurt trying to get to the Bat-Pod is just outstanding, its everything I could ever want from an ending and summed up Batman perfectly.

Also "Not everything... Not yet" is one of the best.

 

[BatManFan_NYC]

I'm disappointed that

"Things are worse than EVURRR"

isn't on the list

I voted for the first one,

"If you make ourself more than just a man"... though

"Why do we fall" is recurring theme that's both epic in scope and applicability, but now I wish I had chosen "other", no.. not for falafel...

I think the most meaningful quote was during the ice fight \ training session with Ras where he says

Bruce: "The man had a gun.."
Ras: .. "would that stop you?"
Bruce: "I've had training"
Ras: "The training... is NOTHING..the WILL is EVERYTHING.... the will to act"

neer a treur word [set of words] was spoken.

you can apply this to just about every situation in the modern world.
