Batman: *grabs Green Lantern by the lapels*
Batman: *grits teeth*
Batman: What we’ve got here is a failure to communicate.
Batman: *grabs Green Lantern by the lapels*
Batman: *grits teeth*
Batman: What we’ve got here is a failure to communicate.
Making his initial disapproval of the vigilante lifestyle known…
Alfred: Calling it your job doesn’t make it right, Master Bruce.
Mentoring the Justice League of America…
Batman: By protecting others, you save yourselves.
Giving advice to the Batfamily…
Bruce: Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.
And when Batman wants to get to know his rouges, he gets to know his rogues.
When the Batfamily first encounter Commissioner Jim Gordon in a 1940s AU…
Batman: Badges? We ain’t got no badges! We don’t need no badges! I don’t have to show you any stinking badges!
When asked why he refuses to let himself fall in love and be happy…
Bruce: Love means never having to say you’re sorry.
This quote reminded me of Bruce because the possibility of anybody he cares about getting hurt on account of the way he lives his life tears him apart. And much as he tries to protect whoever’s left of his vigilante family at any given time, all of them are already in too deep, too.
Brooding into a Gotham City night atop a gargoyle be like…
Batman: My name is Bruce Wayne, leader of the Justice League of America, mentor to a family of vigilantes, and loyal servant to the true commissioner, James Gordon.
Batman: Father to two murdered sons, son to murdered parents.
Batman: And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.
Bruce in “Batman Beyond” be like…
Bruce [to Terry]: Just when I thought I was out –
Bruce: *passionately taps his chest with both hands*
Bruce: – they pull me back in!
Selina [to Bruce]: I’m also just a cat, standing in front of a bat, asking him to love her.
Bane [to Batman]: I must break you.
Or, quite frankly, name almost any of his rogues, really.
