"You say you want a revolution? Well, you know, there’s a comic-book movie for you. The Dark Knight Rises concludes the trilogy of Batman movies so distinctively rebooted, reimagined, and reinvigorated over the past seven years by director Christopher Nolan at the helm and actor Christian Bale in the Batsuit. And the highly anticipated project arrives with outsize political and cultural ambitions. Theme-wise, Nolan tackles nothing less than societal upheaval, urban unrest, class warfare, personal sacrifice, and spiritual salvation, with some nuclear brinkmanship thrown in for timeliness. That’s epic stuff, as grounded in serious social commentary as the literature of Charles Dickens that the director and his coscreenwriter brother, Jonathan Nolan, have cited as inspiration. This is a Batman narrative for a post-9/11 age of anxiety, morally split between the best of times and the worst of times."

"Anne Hathaway - Selina Kyle/Catwoman"

"[eulogy at Bruce Wayne's funeral] I see a beautiful city. And a brilliant people, rising from this abyss. I see the lives, for which I lay down my life - peaceful, useful, prosperous and happy. I see that I hold a sanctuary in their hearts, and in the hearts of their descendants, generations hence. It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known."

"Oh, you think darkness is your ally, but you merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn’t see the light until I was already a man. By then, it was nothing to me but blinding! The shadows betray you, because they belong to me!"

"Speak of the devil and he shall appear!"

"Calm down, doctor! Now is not the time for fear. That comes later."

"We take Gotham from the corrupt, the rich, the oppressors of generations who have kept you down with myths of opportunity, and we give it back to you, the people. Today, we turn myth to reward! We turn the water into wine and implore you drink deep of the cup. Gotham is yours. None shall interfere; do as you please. [one of Bane's captured Tumbler Cannons blows a hole in the prison's gates, allowing his followers inside] But start by storming Blackgate and freeing the oppressed! Step forward, those who would serve, for an army will be raised. The powerful will be ripped from their decadent nests, and cast out into the cold world that we know and endure. Courts will be convened. Spoils will be enjoyed! Blood will be shed! The police will survive, as they learn to serve true justice. This great city, it will endure. Gotham will survive."

"One man's tool is another man's weapon."

"[to Bane] You were excommunicated by a gang of psychopaths!"

"We both know I have to kill you now. I suppose you'll just have to imagine the fire."

"The rich don't even go broke the same as the rest of us, huh?"

"There are always people you care about. You just don't realize how much until they're gone. The idea was to be a symbol. Batman could be anybody. That was the point."

"Not a lot people know what if feels like to, like... to be angry, in your bones. I mean, they understand. I mean, foster parents, everybody understands. For a while, at least. But then they want the angry little kid to do something he knows he can’t do: move on. So, after a while, they stop understanding. They send the angry kid to a boys' home. I figured it out too late: you gotta learn to hide the anger, practice smiling in the mirror. It's like putting on a mask. So, you showed up this one day in a cool car, pretty girl on your arm. We were so excited! Bruce Wayne, billionaire orphan? I mean, we use to make up stories about you, man. Legends. And, you know, with the other kids, that's all it was, just stories, but... right when I saw you, I knew who you really were. I'd seen that look on your face before. It was the same one I taught myself. I don't know why you took the fall for Dent's murder, but I'm still a believer in the Batman, even if you're not."

"[eulogy at Harvey Dent's funeral] I knew Harvey Dent. I was his friend. And it will be a long time before someone inspires us the way he did. I believed in Harvey Dent."

"Only two minions to abuse? On, Jean-Pierre, the world is so unfair."

"[picks up Oddball] Without spots, you're just not worth the trouble. Chop-chop! [throws Oddball on conveyor belt, and laughs evilly, thinking she killed Oddball.] And now, to my coat! [Oddball appears, alive and well, shocking Cruella and a dalmatian hits a switch making Cruella go into an oven.]"

"[Alonzo: Um, wouldn't you be more c-comfortable in the c-car? [Cruella screams and pants as her claws return] Ella?] Not Ella. Ella's gone. And Cruella's back! [cackling] [in next scene] Pull! Pull! Stand aside, worm! [moves Alonzo and rips off the planks by hand while screaming. Afterwards, she opens the doors, and falls on the fur coats] Oh, mommy's home, and I'll never leave you again!"

"Between the first and second Purges, Lycan youth rallied in the same way. Against the prudence of their elders, their calls for violent action carried the day. The result? The werewolves are nearly extinct. Is that what you wish for us? Extinction?"

""I used to be married to a nurse. One day at work, she was bitten. Nobody knew but us. We lived like that for a few years. Then came the Purge. Feds were conducting door-to-doors, and when they knocked on ours, well, she told me she loved me, and then she let the sunlight in, and I had to watch her"
