Comic Quotes

[Shanley]

I didn't see these ones anywhere so --

"On this world, under this sun, I have astounding powers. A gift, conferred on me by cataclysm and destiny. And all they cost me - all they cost me - is the ability to ever truly be one of the people below. I can sense pressue on my skin, to the tiniest fraction of an ounce. But I don't feel another's touch they way other men do. I am differant. I always will be. I am among them, but not one of them. But then, so many men live with worse, and never breathe a hint of complaint. And they don't have the opportunity to save countless lives."
-- Superman. Action Comics #839.

"This is what I am. This is who I am. If there's a price to pay, so be it. Even if I could give it up, renounce my power and be fully human -- I wouldn't do it for a second. Not for a second."
-- Superman. Action Comics #839.


That's why I love Superman. That last line of the first quote is just awesome, IMO.

(First post. )

 

[The BatDude]

Boy: Can you stretch?
Plastic man: What rock have you been under? Plastic doesn't stretch.

I think that's how the quote went

Sin city: The salesman quote:

"The wind rises, electric. She's soft and warm and almost weightless. Her perfume is a sweet promise that brings tears to my eyes. I tell her that everything will be all right. That I'll save her from whatever she's scared of and take her far, far away. I tell her I love her."

(Gunshot)

"The silencer makes a whisper of the gunshot. I hold her close until she's gone. I'll never know what she was running from. I'll cash her check in the morning."

Sin city: one of the best graphic novels out there

Titans #15 (2000)

Tempest: "Where's Dick?"

Flash (Wally): "He's over there trying to use his bat-night-vision-goggles to locate a bat-umbrella in his bat-utility belt. Oh, and by the way, incase you forgot? He's impervious to rain and wind and cold and thirst and hunger and having to use the bathroom 'cause -- did you know this -- ?
-- He was trained by BATMAN!"

had me laughing for a while

[snipe]

Let you in on a little secret, Superman -- I can't fly. Bullets don't bounce off my chest. I can't bend steel in my bare hands. But criminals fear me. I'm sorry normal citizens do, too -- but I'd rather have that than word on the street saying what a nice guy I am. That sort of talk would get me killed.

"I hear the soft gurgle of pleasure in the muggers throat. I'll turn it into a scream."-Batman


"Is that, dare I say, a hint of regret in your voice, sir?"

"No, Alfred. Just an observation from a passing shadow."-Alfred and Batman, respectively.

Nightwing: "Look, this may be none of my business. And I know you think I'm against you going out with a former...known...thief, or whatever she is...was.(referring to Catwoman) Anyway, I'm not. Against it. Bruce, I've known you too long. I came down to the cave expecting to find you draped in shadows. Cut off from everyone--including yourself. You lost an old friend. I get it. But-- there's something different about you. Good different. If she makes you happy--great. Except--every relationship you've ever had with a woman--either as Bruce or Batman--has gotten screwed up because you didn't tell her about your being...either Bruce or Batman. My point is-- tell her."

Batman: "You're right."

Nightwing: "Really...?"

Batman: "It is none of your business."

That was one of the best one-shots I've ever read.

Good to know I wasn't the only one that read it.

A couple of quotes from the recent issue of Moon Knight (If you haven't read it yet, SPOILERS)

Moon Knight - "It hurts."

Khonshu - "Hey! I'm the God of vengeance and the moon. Not the God of whining and self-pity. Get the f**k up."

And

Taskmaster - " Uh-Oh, someone's unclear on the concept. Let me clarify. You, are the ass kick-ee in this scenario. I, am the ass kick-er. We just have to remember our roles. If we all remember our roles, I'll be able to deliver my little message and go. The gist of the message is pretty simple. I'm going to kill you. Really, reeeeally painfully. So, what say we just get started on that?"

Awesome, the last issue was great. But I am worried that they might kill Taskmaster. I know it probably won't happen but with what they did to Bushman, anything can happen.

Another Taskmaster quote.

"Those pens? You can bet that those'll be on my expense report." After throwing two pens into some guy's eyes.

Nice.
