"I want you to set a fire so goddamn big, the gods'll notice us again, that's what I'm sayin'. I want all you boys to be able to look me straight in the eye one more time and say: "ARE WE HAVIN' FUN OR WHAT?!""

"When I started the first fires in this goddamn city, before I knew it, every charlatan and shitheel was imitating me! You know what they got now? Devil's Night greeting cards. Isn't that precious? The idea has become the institution, boys. Time to move along."

"A man has an idea. The idea attracts others, likeminded. The idea expands, the idea becomes an institution. What was the idea? That's what's been bothering me, boys. And I'll tell you, when I used to think about the idea itself, it put a big old smile on my face. You see, gentlemen... greed is for amateurs. Disorder, chaos, anarchy — now that's fun!"

"It seems our friend T-Bird won't be joining us this evening... on account of a slight case of death."

"[Referring to Skank's near-unintelligible rant] Maybe we oughta just video tape this, play it back in slow motion."

"A boy and his bird. Awful touching."

"He winked at you? Tsk, musicians."

"[Referring to a recently deceased woman in his bed] I think we broke her."

"[Holding a graveyard snow globe] Dad gave me this, fifth birthday. He said: "Childhood's over the moment you know you're going to die.""

"[last lines] If the people we love are stolen from us, the way to have them live on is to never stop loving them. Buildings burn, people die, but real love is forever."

"I thought you were dead. You're not dead, are you? I knew it was you. Even with the makeup. I remembered your song. You said, "Can't rain all the time." That is from your song, right? Come on, Eric. I know you're here. I miss you... and Shelly. Get so lonely all by myself. The hell with you. I thought you cared."

"A building gets torched; all that is left is ashes. I used to think that was true about everything: families, friends, feelings... But now I know that sometimes, if love proves real, two people who are meant to be together — nothing can keep them apart."

"People once believed that, when someone dies, a crow carries their soul to the land of the dead. But sometimes, something so bad happens that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the soul can't rest. Then sometimes, just sometimes, the crow can bring that soul back to put the wrong things right."

"[To Eric after engaging Top Dollar and Grange in a gun fight at a cathedral] Ah, shit. Well, just came by to pay my respects... and here you are getting all shot up again."

"So many cops, you’d think they were giving away donuts!"

"[Realizes Eric has disappeared after holding him at gunpoint] Oh, great, great. Guy shows up looking like a mime from hell... and you lose him right out in the open. Well, at least he didn't do that walking against the wind shit. I hate that."

"[To Top Dollar on roof of cathedral] I have something to give you; I don't want it anymore. [Grabs Top Dollar's face administering Shelly's hospital procedures flashbacks] Thirty hours of pain! All at once! ...all for you... [throws Top Dollar off the roof]"

"I'm coming home, Shelly."

"Guess it's not a good day to be a bad guy, huh, Skank?"

"You shouldn't smoke these. They'll kill ya."

"Believe me, nothing is trivial."

"Little things used to mean so much to Shelly."

"[Brings Darla to bathroom mirror] Mother is the name for God on the lips and hearts of all children. Do you understand? Morphine is bad for you. Your daughter is out there on the streets, waiting for you."

"Take your shot, Funboy. You got me, dead bang."

"It can't rain all the time."

"He was already dead. He died a year ago, the moment he touched her. They're all dead. They just don't know it yet."

"Is that gasoline I smell?"

"Tell them death is coming for them tonight. Tell them Eric Draven sends his regards."

"A whole jolly club, with jolly pirate nicknames!"

"Victims; aren't we all...?"

"Danny DeVito - The Penguin/Oswald Cobblepot"

"Remember, I came in when the audience was disturbed by Danny DeVito as the Penguin, and then Michelle Pfeiffer — which was still fabulous and maybe a little too S&M for some people."

"We got to be back home [filming in Burbank] so that made me happy. It was quite the cast with Michelle Pfeiffer and Danny DeVito and everyone. It wasn't as satisfying to me when I saw it, but maybe that’s because the bar was set so high on the first one. I think I only watched it one time. I knew we were in trouble in talks for the third one when certain people started the conversation with 'Why does it have to be so dark?' 'Why does he have to be so depressed?' 'Shouldn't there be more color in this thing?' I knew I was headed for trouble and that it wasn't a road I was going to go down."

"I think the studio just thought it was too weird — they wanted to go with something more child or family-friendly. In other words, they didn't want me to do another one."

"I think I upset McDonald's. [They asked] 'What's that black stuff coming out of the Penguin's mouth? We can't sell Happy Meals with that!'"

"I just have all these memories of her — letting a live bird fly out of her mouth and learning to use the whip and jumping around rooftop sets in high heels. The work and just the performance were very, very impressive."

"Cristi Conaway - the Ice Princess"

"Andrew Bryniarski - Charles "Chip" Shreck"

"Vincent Schiavelli - the Organ Grinder"

"Michael Murphy - the Mayor"

"Pat Hingle - Commissioner James Gordon"

"Michael Gough - Alfred Pennyworth"

"Christopher Walken - Max Shreck"

"Michelle Pfeiffer - Catwoman/Selina Kyle"

"Michael Keaton - Batman/Bruce Wayne"

"The Bat. The Cat. The Penguin."

"[when she and Bruce Wayne realize each other's secret identities] Oh my God...does this mean we have to start fighting?"

"[to Penguin, rejecting his advances] I wouldn't touch you to scratch you."
