"Enough bravado. It's too late for that. I don't care who you are, but they will. I'm going to rob them of hope. As they stare into your eyes, they will blame you. Failure will have a face and a name."

"When we are done, Gotham will be a dead city, a city of fear. Its skyscrapers will be headstones, its homes will be tombs."

"What does the great Gotham savior fear? We shall see..."

"Didn't you know, Dark Knight? You can't fight fear..."

"You're old, you're predictable, and you never stood a chance."

"You always told me, Bruce: "Focus on what I want to achieve, and it'll happen". Well, you wanna know what I want now, huh? I want you dead!"

"Look at me while you die, Batman. Look. At. Me."

"I did ask if it came in black, but then I thought... Ah, you'd just get all jealous."

"I did it... Cornered you. Did what nobody else could. All these years, all your enemies... but none of them understand you like I do. You think Crane found Oracle on his own? I'm the one that told him about Barbara. Me! Told you I knew everything about you, didn't I? But don't worry Bruce. I kept some secrets to myself."

"How long did it take you before replacing me? A month? A WEEK?! I trusted you, and you just left me to die!"

"Come on, hero! Let's see if you can keep up with me!"

"What happened, Batman? You used to put up a fight."

"It's been a long rivalry, Bat. But this is the only way it could end."

"Shame about the car. I would have kept it when I was finished with you."

"When a man earns my respect, that means I do not rest. I devote all of my energy, everything I have... to killing him!"

"The army was never my idea. I prefer a more intimate approach. Twisting the blade, warm blood running over my hand. Next time, compadre, next time."

"[after Batman's unmasking] I don't care who you are. You're dying just the same."

"Bats? Bats?! BAAAATS?!?"

"He's no better than the creep who killed your parents."

"[talking about Raymond Underhill] Hey, I think prison's going to be the making of this one, Batsy. A few jailhouse tatts, gang initiations, drug abuse. He'll come out a full fledged criminal. Just what Gotham needs."

"[talking about Raymond Underhill] Tut tut tut. Breaking the law for a noble cause? He's nowhere near rich enough to get away with that!"

"[talking about Professor Pyg] Now, old pig-face here, total lunatic. Far too good for this place. Don't worry, you'll be the first one I let out."

"[talking about Professor Pyg] He's sicker than me 'n' Harley's honeymoon tapes but I think he's onto something. What do we say we get him to chisel a smile on that face of yours?"

"[referring to Barbara's kidnapping] Now that I think about it, how did Scarecrow know to go after your IT department? I mean, I had no idea she worked for you when I shot her, I just got lucky. Seriously! I was aiming for her head."

"I can see why you like it up here, Bats. Gives you time to ponder the really big questions. Like "Is Oracle dead?" "Is it all my fault?" "Who's going to die next?" [laughs] Now let's get down there and find out!"

"Those boys have really done their homework! Where do you think they're getting their intel? You think Barbara told them? Those sidekicks of yours! A teeny tiny bit of torture, and they're all "Please make it stop, I'll tell all Batman's secrets! Boo-hoo-hoo-hoo!""

"All these years later, and I've still got a soft spot for little Barbara Gordon. Fortunately, mine's not right between the vertebrae!"

"I've just realized! All those times I threatened to kill Bruce Wayne, kidnap Bruce Wayne, blow up Wayne Manor, I was really threatening you! Oh, Bats... If I'd have known, I would have -- let's face it -- try harder."

"[talking about Azrael] I'm digging the suit. He's giving you a run for your money, Bats!"

"[talking about Azrael] Now this guy knows how to do it. He kills bad guys. You need to step up!"

"[talking about Deacon Blackfire] y'think this Blackfire's a real priest, Batsy? I'ts just, I owe Gotham Church an apology for that incident with the hydrochloric holy water. Ho, ho! That was one hell of a baptism!"

"[talking about Deacon Blackfire] You gotta hand it to Deacon Blackbeard: anything that gets the homeless working should be encouraged!"

"[talking about Man-Bat] His wife, your parents - what is it about dead relatives that turn you into a flying rodent?"

"[talking about Man-Bat] The look on your face when you saw him! Who'd thought it? The big, bad Batman, scared of his own reflection?"

"[after Man-Bat is restored to Kirk Lankstrom] It just occurred to me. Kirby-baby didn't have a choice, but you actually choose to be a flying rodent! It's genius!"

"[talking about Firefly] Ah, third degree burns. The cracked, leathery skin; that delightful, waxy sheen. If I had to choose, I think burns would be my favourite scar tissue. Well, burns and mental scars, right Bruce?"

"[talking about Firefly] Look, Garfield, fire's great and all. But what about acid? Electricity? PLIERS?! Come on! Open your mind, man!"

"[talking about Deathstroke] Gather round, kiddies! Uncle Slade's got another tale from the trenches. Ask him to tell the one about the mass grave. Ho, ho. It's a hoot!"

"[talking about Deathstroke] So at what point does World's Greatest Assassin become false advertising?"

"I've had an idea, Bats. PRETEND to get stuck on Riddler's next challenge, and then, just when he thinks he can die happy, break his little question mark-shaped heart."

"[talking about Two-Face] So how's it hanging, Harv? Colour me insensitive, but I've always wanted to ask; did EVERYTHING get split down the middle?"

"[talking about Two-Face] Oh, Bats, you just bring out the best in everyone! Your enemies, your friends- even your bestest frenemies like Harv, here: he's at least halfway interesting these days, and it's all thanks to you."

"[when Nightwing gets kidnapped by the Penguin] It's happening again, Bats. First you got Jason Todd killed. Now old Dick's about to meet his maker. I know what you're thinking, and you're right. This is all your fault! [chuckles] You should come with a health warning, you know that!"

"[taking over Batman's body] Look at me! I'm amazing! And this body… I can't believe how strong it is!"

"[when Batman goes to rescue Nightwing from the Penguin] You're actually going to save him, aren't you? You should leave him, he deserves it, going off on his own like that. He doesn't respect you, Bats. Never has!"

"[talking about the Penguin] Don't be fooled, Bats! Underneath that short, fat, hideous exterior.... there's an icky, fishy, teddy bear wating to get out!"

"[talking about the Penguin] And to think this guy was my nemesis back in Arkham City. Oh, don't look at me like that, Bats. I do have a life outside you! I used to anyway."
