Frank Miller

“We live in the shadow of crime with the unspoken understanding that we are victims.. of fear, of violence, of social impotence. A man has risen to show us that the power is, ans always has been, in our hands. We are under siege. He's showing us that we can resist.”

“We must not remind them that giants walk the Earth.”

“I requested off this damn night shift four times now. Barbara needs me. Barbara and little James. So I hope it's boy, so what?”

“Gotham City. Clean shafts of concrete and snowy rooftops. The work of men who died generations ago. From here, it looks like an achievement. From here, you can't see the enemy.”

“You don't get it boy... this isn't a mudhole... its an operating table. (KRAKKKKK) And I'm the surgeon.”

“You can never escape me. Bullets don't harm me. Nothing harms me. But I know pain. I KNOW pain. Sometimes I share it. With someone like you.”

“Buddy, I don't mean to poke my nose in where it don't belong, but that there is a dame to kill for. Why'd you let her go?”

“I'll make it. I won't die. I've got too much I have to do to let myself die.”

“Nancy's got a guardian angel. Seven feet plus of muscle and mayhem that goes by the name of Marv.”

“Most people think Marv is crazy, but I don't believe that. I'm no shrink and I'm not saying I've got Marv all figured out or anything, but "crazy" just doesn't explain him. Not to me. Sometimes I think he's retarded, a big, brutal kid who never learned the ground rules about how people are supposed to act around each other. But that doesn't have the right ring to it either. No, it's more like there's nothing wrong with Marv, nothing at all--except that he had the rotten luck of being born at the wrong time in history. He'd have been okay if he'd been born a couple of thousand years ago. He'd be right at home on some ancient battlefield, swinging an ax into somebody's face. Or in a roman arena, taking a sword to other gladiators like him. They'd have tossed him girls like Nancy, back then.”

“Worth dying for. Worth killing for. Worth going to hell for.Amen.”

“The rain on my chest is a baptism - I'm born again.”

“You've got rights. Lots of rights. Sometimes I count them just to make myself feel crazy.”

“Ladies. Gentlemen. You have eaten well. You've eaten Gotham's wealth. Its spirit. Your feast is nearly over. From this moment on...none of you are safe.”

“Alfred: Hmf. I suppose you'll take up flying next, like that fellow in Metropolis.”

“The American conscience died with the Kennedys.”

“I take his weapons away from him. Both of them.”

“Hell’s waking up every goddamn day and not even knowing why you’re here.”

“The world doesn't make sense until you force it to.”

“When you got a condition, it's bad to forget your medicine.”

“I always knew it would come down to you and the big blue school boy. Planet's too big for the BOTH of you. When it all comes down, I want a piece of him. A small piece, will do? For OLD TIMES, sake, you know..it still hurts when its cold.”

“A gun is a liar's weapon”

“The noir hero is a knight in blood caked armor. He's dirty and he does his best to deny the fact that he's a hero the whole time.”

“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 a baptism - I'm born again ... ”

“Of course we're Criminals”

“I'm the goddamn Batman.”

“I check the list. Rubber tubing, gas, saw, gloves, cuffs, razor wire, hatchet, Gladys, and my mitts.”

“Deadly little Miho. She won't let you feel a thing unless she wants you to. She twists the blade. He feels it. ”

“Spartans... tonight we dine in Hell!”

“I’ll stare the bastard in the face as he screams to God, and I’ll laugh harder when he whimpers like a baby. And when his eyes go dead, the hell I send him to will seem like heaven after what I’ve done to him.”

“Hello, I'm Shellie's new boyfriend and I'm out of my mind. If you so much as talk to her or even think her name, I'll cut you in ways that'll make you useless to a woman. ”

“She doesn't quite chop his head off.She makes a Pez dispenser out of him.”

“DWIGHT:Stay smart. Stay cool. It's time to prove to you're friends that you're worth a damn. Sometimes that means dying. Sometimes it means killing a whole lot of people.”
