Quotes
-
Jason Todd : Ignoring what he's done in the past. Blindly, stupidly disregarding the entire graveyards he's filled, the thousands who have suffered, the friends he's crippled. You know, I thought... I thought I'd be the last person you'd ever let him hurt. If it had been you that he beat to a bloody pulp, if he had taken you from this world, I would've done nothing but search the planet for this pathetic pile of evil, death-worshiping garbage and then send him off to hell!
Batman : You don't understand. I don't think you've ever understood.
Jason Todd : What? That your moral code just won't allow for that? It's too hard to cross that line?
Batman : No! God Almighty, no. It'd be too damned easy. All I've ever wanted to do is kill him. A day doesn't go by that I don't think about subjecting him to every horrendous torture he's dealt out to others, and then... end him.
Joker : Aw, so you *do* think about me.
Batman : But if I do that, if I allow myself to go down into that place... I'll never come back.
Jason Todd : Why? I'm not talking about killing Penguin or Scarecrow or Dent. I'm talking about *him*, just him. And doing it because... because he took me away from you.
Batman : I can't. I'm sorry.
Joker : That is so sweet!
-
Bruce Wayne : [Dick has been injured] Alfred, take him home.
Dick Grayson : I can help.
Bruce Wayne : You already have. Thank you.
Dick Grayson : Alright but you know where to find me if you need me. He did just... thank me didn't he?
Alfred Pennyworth : Indeed he did sir.
Dick Grayson : Weird.
-
Batman : [Red Hood finally removes his mask, revealing his face] Jason.
Jason Todd : Yes.
Batman : I don't wanna fight you.
Jason Todd : All evidence to the contrary.
Batman : Please, I can help you. I know what happened.
Jason Todd : Oh, you got to talking with Ra's, huh? Does it make it easier for you to think that my dip in his fountain of youth turned me rabid? Or is this just the real me?
-
Red Hood : Just be happy I only killed one of them. They're all assassins.
Batman : And what are you?
Red Hood : I'm cleaning up Gotham. More than you ever did.
Batman : You're stealing territory from Black Mask and killing anyone who gets in your way.
Red Hood : Black Mask is just a part of the plan.
Batman : Plan? You're becoming a crime lord!
Red Hood : Yes! You can't stop crime. That's what you never understood. I'm controlling it. You wanna rule them by fear, but what do you do with the ones who aren't afraid? I'm doing what you won't, I'm taking them out.
Batman : Tell me what happened to you. Let me help.
Red Hood : It's too late. You had your chance. And I'm just getting started.
-
Alfred Pennyworth : Sir, in light of all that's happened... do you want me to take it down?
[Bruce stares at Jason's uniform]
Batman : No. This doesn't change anything. It doesn't change anything at all.
-
Red Hood : This is what it's all been about. This! You, me, him! Now is the time you decide! If you won't kill this psychotic piece of filth, I will! If you want to stop me, you're going to have to kill me!
Batman : You know I won't...
Red Hood : I'm going to blow his deranged brains out! And if you want to stop it, you are going to have to shoot me, right in my face!
Joker : This is turning out even better than I'd hoped.
-
Batman : [about Jason] Do you remember how he was when I found him?
Alfred Pennyworth : Of course, sir. Fearless, arrogant, brash and gifted.
Batman : Yes. Different than Dick in so many ways but still full of potential and power. But I knew, even from the beginning, he was dangerous. If I hadn't made into Robin, he would have grown to do wrong. Then I got him killed. My partner. My soldier. My fault. I own that. I'll carry that like everything else. But now there's this. He's taken everything I've ever taught him and turned it on me. It's a hell of a making, Alfred.
Alfred Pennyworth : Sir, this is not your doing. You loved him. He knows that. It should be enough.
Batman : It's not.
-
Batman : You shattered his collar bone!
Young Robin : He's a drug dealing pimp! I didn't think I had to prop up some pillows before I took him out!
-
Batman : You say you want to be better than me, but it won't happen. Not like this.
[punches Red Hood through the wall]
-
Batman : No! You're anything but good.
-
Batman : What did you do to Jason? Act like you don't know what I'm talking about, and I'll dislocate the shoulder. That's just to start.
Ra's al Ghul : If you haven't disabled the roof sensors, my guards will be here in under a minute.
Batman : Answer me.
Ra's al Ghul : I'm willing to, but it'll be more expedient if you hand me the communicator in my pocket, and I call off my men.
[Batman hands Ra's his communicator]
Ra's al Ghul : Commander, this is Ra's Al Ghul. Stand down. I will be entertaining a guest in my study.
-
Ra's al Ghul : You remember when we last became embattled?
Batman : You were planning to blow up banks.
Ra's al Ghul : Accurate, if inelegant. I was in the midst of toppling the economy of Europe, but you were on to me. I sought a distraction. So I hired the Joker. When your paths crossed in Bosnia, it was to appear that you had stumbled upon him. He was paid extremely well for what was intended to be a wild-goose chase. Then he murdered the boy. That was not by design. I'm afraid I overestimated my ability to control the Joker, just as I underestimated his madness. It grieved me, sir, to be a party to something so brutal.
Batman : You've never shied away from drawing blood.
Ra's al Ghul : rue, but always with purpose. Always with greater goals. This was simply an unnecessary casualty. As penance, I chose not to make war with you again... and to attempt to rectify this disservice.
Batman : Rectify?
Ra's al Ghul : Yes. I had hoped to return to you what you had lost. I have walked this world for nearly six centuries. As you know, I achieve this by bathing in the rejuvenating waters of the Lazarus Pit. Along with its healing abilities, it has long been rumored that it is capable of an even greater feat... to raise the dead. Procuring the remains of your partner was not difficult. You had come to Bosnia under the guise of Bruce Wayne, and you chose to depart as such. You even concocted the cover story that young Jason had died in a bombing in Sarajevo. This made it easy for me. All it took was a few payoffs to replace his body. I felt confident that you would not perform an autopsy, even if you had, we still would have bought enough time. But my plan... well, detective, it had unfortunate results. He returned to this world but returned damaged. My army searched for months, but we were never able to find a body or pick up a trail. I thought him dead yet again. But I hear you have been having trouble at home. I have returned your son to you as a blight upon your house. He burns the very kingdom you--
[turns to see that Batman is gone]
Ra's al Ghul : --protect.
