Comic Quotes

Batman talking about all the scars he has- Each of them carries a memory.
Catwoman- Most people opt for a photo album.
In Batman's thoughts- I am not...nor will I ever be...most people.
 
From JLA: Welcome to the Working week

Marlus. A young journalist who has managed to "sneak" aboard the Watch Tower and observe the JLA, getting a look at J'onn meditating:

"The Manhunter from Mars. If Superman is Elvis, then this is Dylan. When you're a kid, you're all for the Spitcurl. But by the time you hit college, you're forehead all the way. That Thinker's skull on top of a linebackers bod...Like if Socrates played for the Steelers. For every time the world's been saved in the sunshine by Superman...it's been saved in the shadows by this guy."

anybody got any robin quotes? i am drawing a major blank as of now

A Nightwing and Robin convo. Don't quote me 100% on this because I have all my comics packed up because we'll be moving to the house we just bought soon, so I can't check on it. I believe it goes something like this though.

Nightwing: So, how do you like your outfit?
Robin: It's ok, rids up a little.
Nightwing: Yeah? At least yours has pants....

Again, I'm pretty sure I missquoted that, but it was along those lines.
 
Spiderman, brawling with a pseudo-religious supervillain known as... The Black Abbot and the abbot's clone.

SPIDERMAN: So if you're the Black Abbot, who's he? The Black Costello?
 
From the animated series...

Dr. Polaris: Aren't you gonna wash your hands?

Flash (in luthors body): No...cause I'm evil.
 
BoyWonderNerdDC,
I was going to say this has the potential to be one of the best threads on this site, but I think it's there already. Really good thread subject; I spent a long time on the net yesterday, just reading the quotes posters wrote. Brings back some memories of great issues. And makes me want to read some of the ones mentioned that I haven't read.
Good job to you and everyone who has posted.

Yea I know what you mean.
 
To add on to part of the Interlude boywondernerdDC partially put:

Catwoman: So much pain...why does he keep doing it?
Alfred: It...is difficult to say.
 
I was reading one of my old comics when I came across this thread and I loved this issue so much, I just wanted to share a few tidbits.

Batman: "... You want me to do something illegal, don't you?"
Plastic Man: "No! NO! On the up and up! I haven't done anything illegal in years--"
Batman: "Tax returns."
Plastic Man: "Okay, months."
Batman: "Blink 182 concert tickets."
Plastic Man: "Weeks--and it was barely ten dollars over the cost! That's not even a scalp!"

Batman: "Something you want to say?"
Plastic Man: "Me? No, why--"
Batman: "Because you've been silent for over seven and a half minutes. Either you've had a stroke or there's something on your mind."

Batman: "Do you know what effect I can have on the mind of a ten year old? It..It's not going to be nice."
 
Cable: What kind of world is Kurch creating for you to live in? A blue one?
Deadpool: He'd take away skin color. That would give us one less reason to suck. I'd call that a start.
Cable: But he's taking away the one thing that matters most to you then anything in the world.
Deadpool: HE NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT TAKING AWAY MY PORN!

Cable: Wade, the only thing that can help me is your blood. The only thing that can help you is mine.
Deadpool:... We're not going to have to kiss or anything... are we?
(Cable and Deadpool 6)

Agent X: Oh, look. Kofi Annan.
Deadpool: Where!?
*Thwack*
Deadpool: Oooh. Foiled by my grasp on current events.
Agent X: Hey, I know what you have a grasp on. I've seen it first hand. And I'm still in therapy over it.
Deadpool: Why are you chafin my boxer briefs right now?
Agent X: I was hired to.
Deadpool: By who?
Agent X: By whom you social ******.
Deadpool: Yeah, I guess I've been lacking in the brain department, since yout took a big chunk of mine!
Cable and Deadpool 12

So I'm workin with the Fixer in St. Louis and Captain America tries to stop us. He throws his shield at me and I duck - splits apart the gas canister filled with what? Yeah, that's right. A diarrheic agent. You know what that is dontcha? Well you haven't lived till you've seen Captain America leave the scene of a fight cause he's gotta - and I do mean gotta - find a men's room.
Cable and Deadpool 18

L-ron: Have a reasonably bearable day.
Maxwell Lord: Reasonably bearable?
L-Ron: I don't believe in giving people false hope.

L-Ron: The point is sir, you were toying with him. And maybe with your self.
Captain Atom: i haven't toyed with myself in years. :D

Booster Gold: I mean, if you're going to be rating men on a scale of one to ten, no way am i a seven!
Blue Beetle: Then what are you?
Booster Gold: An eleven!
Blue beetle: I think you're confused Booster. That's your IQ.
Formerly known as the Justice League

Touched by her fingers, the two surviving chocolate people copulate desperately, losing themselves in a melting frenzy of lust, spending the last of their brief borrowed lives in a spasm of raspberry cream and fear.
Sandman 7

Robin: You really aren't well, you know that?
Superboy: Dude, one day you'll grow a hormone and all will become clear.
Superman Batman 26

Red Tornado: I had withdrawn from humanity because i had in fact lost my humanity. I had believed that without my humanity there was little to no purpose for me to continue to exist. However, in the past few minutes I have begun to believe that perhaps... just perhaps... there is some small aspect of human feeling left tome.
Superboy: Why?
Red Tornado: Because I find that you three annoy the hell out of me. I feel an urge to smack you. Particularly Impulse. And for that I am indebted to you.
Robin: You're uh... you're welcome I guess.
Young Justice 1
 
GL Kyle Rayner, JLA # 3 (i think)

Nice try but you just picked on the wrong Green Lantern. Don't know all the limitations the old ring had but by the time I got a ring, it didn't have any of those bugs. I can do just about anything. A manga nut with a power ring.
 
Cranky lady: (something about how she doesnt want the super budies on her street)
L-Ron:.....shall I terminate her m'lord?
Cranky lady: WHAT DID THAT THING JUST SAY!!!

(Nightwing gives a motivational speech to superboy)
SUPERBOY: man, robin was right about you....you rock!
Nightwing: lets not have a moment here.

(Starfire screaming at the JLA about how cyborg killed Donna Troy)
STARFIRE: If you want someone to blame, blame the kryptonian!!
KID FLASH: Damn!

(Punsiher after a shootout walks up to a guy who was shooting with his gun on the side in a gangsta style)
PUNISHER: theres a reason why the sights on top (shoots him in the head)

PUNISHER: and then she told me her story, and she went on, and when finished I knew a lot of people were going to have to die

(i think there right, ill double check them tomorrow its getting late and im watching the world cup as well)

KID FLASH: Damn!

Actually, it went more like this:

STARFIRE: Responsiblity?! You want to talk about responsibility?! These young men and women blame thmselves for Donna Troy's death. They have lived with the guilt just as Victor, Garfield and myself have. Guilt t hat we have survived, or that we failed, or that we brought this upon ourselves--
*Starblasts Superman*
STARFIRE: But if anyone is to be blamed it should be YOU!
SUPERMAN: Don't.
*Beast Boy, Cyborg, and Nightwing contain her arms*
BEAST BOY: Better hold her, gang.
STARFIRE: It was one of YOUR Superman androids that kiled Donna! A mindless robot that was too much trouble to turn into scrap! If you want to talk about RESPONSIBILITY, you start with the KRYPTONIAN!
KID FLASH: ...Daaamn.

The Slavers have some great lines:

THE PUNISHER: (After killng a whole bunch of thugs, leaving only one left) Whatever he was jabbering, it wasn't English. Pavla was Albanian--maybe he was too. But I'd know the Lord's prayer in any language. Gave him a moment. To just before the line about forgiveness.
*BLAM*

*After taking a hurt woman to his lair to rest*
PUNISHER: She'd been a long way into the dark, that much was obvious. Been damaged there, in ways that ran too deep to be forgotten. It was a thing I knew a little bit about.

*During a police conference, two cops that were "assalted" by The Punisher talk quietly to themselves*
MARCIE: This is all your fault. If you hadn't gotten so close to the f**k he wouldna got your gun off you.
RUSS: I seem to recall he did the same to you.
MARCIE: Only 'cause I was stuck under your hundred and seventy pound ass.
RUSS: Well, look on the bright side, a good two-thirds of that is c**k.
OFFICER LEADING CONFERENCE: ...A matter of utmost seriousness--
MARCIE: HA!!
*all the reporters look at them*
MARCIE: ...F**k.

*After getting the crap beaten out of them by other cops*
MARCIE: Sven on two--Sevn on f**kin' two...YOU'RE the f**king ******s!
RUSS: I love you, Marcie, but will you please just shut the f**k up?

PUNISHER: Cristu Balat. Same kind of cold, hard son of a b***h that's been walking down out of those forests and mountains for centuries. Rumanian, Moldovan, Albanian; Cristu boun a pack of them together, took them off to war.
Prison held no terror for a man like him. Neither did torture, nor did death. How would you make him afraid? How would you even talk to him? You'd start by showing him you speak the language.

PUNISHER: I should have been more patient, but my number one target was barely twenty yards away. What can I say? I'm only human.

PUNISHER: If this is about that night in Brooklyn, you two are taking it way too personally.
MARCIE: Hey, any time you want to finish that, big man: you an' me, whenever the f**k you like...
PUNISHER: I'm not really dating right now.
MARCIE: What?

*During a "meeting" with the buisnesswoman of the slave trade buisness--involving throwing her agains shatterproof glass*
PUNISHER: Cristu told me something, about when you and him were starting out. Something you said. "Rape them to break them."
Cristu didn't get it, but you explained. They had to be shown right away just who was in control. They couldn't stop you when you had them lifted off the streets. They couldnt' stop you now. They had to understand that they were POWERLESS to prevent anything from being done to them.
...
VERA: We--we wanted to be here...we just wanted to do business...
PUNISHER: So? All that counts is you can't stop me. I'm stronger than you, so I can do anything I want. Isn't that the way it works?

PUNISHER: It was in that moment that I realized something. A dull, blurred feeling that I'd had long since this whole mess began, all of a sudden crystal clear. It had been a long, long time since I hated anyone the way I hated them.

EVERYONE KEEP IT GOING:up::up:



oh and some others to add

Kingdom Come Superman(simple but effective): We are at war.

Batman Year One: Jim Gordon:
He's big. Green Beret training. It's been fifteen years since I had to take out a Green Beret. Even so -- he deserves a handicap. I don't crack his skull. I don't crush his larnyx. I don't break his ribs or punch my hand through his chest. I do just enough -- to keep him out of the hospital.
 
I'm a Batman fan, always have been, always will be. I like Superman, but up until I read Kingdom Come I just thought of him as "ok." Superman is written fantastic in Kingdom Come, and I have so much more respect for the character since I read that book.

Superman: The deliberate taking of human--even super-human--life goes against every belief I have--AND that YOU have. That's the one thing we've always had in common. It;s what made us what we are. More then anyone in the world, when you scratch everything else away from BATMAN, you're left with somoen who doesn't want to see anybody die. We can still intercede. Gather your forces. Together we can be the world's finest team. Tell me you'll help me.

Batman: I will tell you this ONE thing. There's a player you haven't counted on. Captain Marvel.

Superman: Marvel...?

Batman: He's been brainwashed severely. Once there was a good kid inside him, but he's been driven out--and I don't know how you'd ever find him again. Marvel's headed for the Gulag, Clark. He's going to break it wide open onto the Justice League. What do you expect me to do against....

Batman turns around and Superman's gone.

Batman: So that's what that feels like....

Superman: Look around us. Look what we've come to. There's a bomb falling. Either it kills us--or we run rampant across the globe. I can still STOP the bomb Billy. That much I'm sure of. What I DON'T know is whether I should be allowed to. And that decision....I'm not a MAN. But YOU Billy, you're both. More then anyone who ever exisited, you know what it's like to live in both worlds.Only you can weigh their worth equally. Fight the brainwashing Billy. You can let me go......ir wurg a word....you can stop me. Do you understand the choice that can be made by you alone? The decide. Decide the world.

Superman: I thought you said I was the boyscout?
Batman: You were. Then I met Shazam.

This line cracks me up every time I read S&B: PE

Batman: Clark... what the hell are "good" villains?

Classic Miller

Batman: This should be agony. I should be a mass of aching muscle -- broken, spent, unable to move. And, were I an older man, I surely would... but I'm a man of thirty -- of twenty again. The rain on my chest is baptism --
I'm born again....

Batman: I'll count the dead one by one. I'll add them to the list, Joker. The list of all the people I've murdered --by letting you live. How many more will it take?...How many more -- until I finally do it? A tiny hand tightens its grip on my arm...A girl of thirteen breathes in sharply, suddenly her innocence lost...It ends tonight, Joker. No, Joker. You're playing the wrong game. The old game. Tonight you're taking no hostages. Tonight I'm taking no prisoners.

absolutely great quotes man
 
Yeah, they're some of my faves. Forgive the massive typo's in the Superman to Shazam speach though. I had the book infront of me typing away and reading it at the same time, lol.
 
I always liked the decide the world speech. And Public Enemies is full of great quotes. Like when half of DC's villain roster was after them...

Superman: We're surrounded you know, I can hear all of them.
Batman: I think we can take them, do you think we can take them?
Superman: You always think we can take them.
Batman: Yes I do.
 
Once upon a time, there was a genius who...




a very bright man who...


Once upon a time, there was a very arrogant man who did something very stupid. Without proper preparation or shielding, he took his friends through a wave of radiation that made them all something other than human. His guilt was unbearable... and deserved. These were the people he loved, and he'd destroyed their lives. Thanks to him, they were fated to be freaks... lab specimens or worse...

...unless he changed that fate somehow. Unless he made the world see them for what they were : three of the best and bravest people anyone could hope to meet. So he refused to let them operate in secret. He gave them a home in a city of eight million. And he gave them costumes. And a flying car. And encouraged them to parade around with some pretty outlandish names.

"Mr. Fantastic." Does that sound like something anyone would really want to call themselves? No. But that's the kind of thing that made headlines. And t-shirts. And action figures. He knew that would keep people from fearing them. You see, glamour and fame weren't options. They were necessities. Because maybe by turning his friends into celebrities...

...he could be forgiven for taking their normal lives away.




Someday.
