"[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?"

"Ladies and Gentlemen! Boys and Girls! The Circus of Strange is coming to a town near you! Never before has such a host of talented performers gathered in one place, to amaze and entertain! Be astounded by Big Top! Is it a man, is it a woman? Who knows, but I guarantee it's the most gigantically grotesque assortment of flesh you have ever seen! Be dumbfounded by the acrobatic oddity that is Siam! Stare open mouthed as these conjoined triplets defy the limits of the human body and its imagination! And last and by no means least, be stunned and horrified by the combustible wonder that is Phosphorus Rex! Folks, you gotta see it to believe it! Come and join us and you'll never look at the world the same way again!"

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

"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."

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

"Janosz, my dearest son, my perfect child, I make these recordings so you are not alone, so that you know daddy loves his son. Daddy loves his little Pyg! The circus has traveled far and we have brought joy to many sad people. They join us now like a big family, growing week by week! Now they feel no pain, they know nothing of misery. I call them my Dollotrons. To each new home, we move at night, finding a fresh patch of earth to inhabit. Secret places in forgotten parts of town, ugly wastelands where the locals stumble unawares into our candy-stripe tent. The Dollotrons are the first to greet them with open arms and perfect faces! The climax of the show is when I take them to see mother! Oh, I tell you, they are amazed by my imagination, confounded by my dexterity as each is transformed into a beautiful work of art! But, mother is hard to please! She wants more, always more, never satisfied, always driving me to work harder, to obtain perfection! And I will! Night has drawn its curtains yet again and the circus moves on, our numbers swollen, to a different patch of Earth. On the dark horizon, the building tops glimmer, the heat and smog of industry shroud the den of criminals and beasts. Gotham is her name! Janosz, I tell you, the circus has come home!"

"[after Batman's unmasking] Bruce [grunts] Wayne! What a pretty man hiding in that suit, like a big present!"

"Come join me on my journey, a trip down memory lane, where you strapped me to a gurney and declared me quite insane."

"I will be baptized, born again in your blood!"

"[after being captured] Sure you're on the right side of the bars, Batman? From where I'm standing, you look guilty as hell."

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

"[after being captured] They say time is the best judge. Well, the verdict's in, and Gotham's time is up!"

"John Noble as Scarecrow"

"[after Batman's unmasking] Why bother with the mask, hero? You got nothing worth hiding now."

"Troy Baker as Jason Todd/Arkham Knight and Two-Face"

"Mark Rolston as Deathstroke"

"Thug: [after Batman's unmasking] I hate rich guys! They're just so... rich! You better make the most of it, buddy, cause there's a lot of lawsuits coming your way!"

"Jack Ryder: [after Batman's unmasking] There you are. Secret identity revealed, huh? You wanna talk about it? On television?"

"Kevin Conroy as Batman and Hush"

"[after Batman's unmasking] Maybe you should think about changing your face? I've got a few ideas..."

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

"Officer Styles: [after Batman's unmasking] So, Mr. Wayne, been to any good parties recently? [chuckles] I can't believe people are actually buying it. I mean, "I saw it on TV, it must be true!""

"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!"

"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."

"[after being captured] How many times have we done this, Batman? You put us behind bars, only for us to escape. Your life is meaningless! A charade!"

"[meeting Azrael in prison] Nobody said this was fancy dress!"

"Militia: [after Batman's unmasking] So under that mask, you're just a rich punk. Hey, up to you how you get your kicks."

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

"[after being captured] Feeling lucky, Batman? What do you say we flip a coin? Heads, we walk free."

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

"[to Joker] You're afraid of being ashes. You're afraid of being forgotten. And you will be forgotten, Joker. Because of me."

"[to Joker] I am vengeance. I am the night! I am Batman!"

"[to Nightwing] I won't be satisfied 'til I bring Penguin to justice."

"You weren't a good man, Ra's. But you had conviction."

"[to Jim Gordon] Look after him, Jim. Look after them all. You've been a good friend. The best I could ask for. You were there at the beginning. Now, you get to see how it ends."

"Gotham needs something more, something... worse to defend her. She needs a new myth, a legend more powerful than I can be right now. A legend that can only rise from the ashes of the Batman."

"The bomb's payload is exposed. I can use the power winch to trigger a controlled explosion."

"[to Batman] The people of Gotham need you."

"[about the Dolltrons] It brings to mind a spate of murders at the beginning of your career. It was Halloween then if I'm not mistaken, turned out to be rather a long one if I recall..."

"Riding in the Batman's car. My little girl's gonna be jealous."

"Try and make sure the men don't find out. I wanna be the one who tells them. You're right. They deserve that much."

"I betrayed those closest to me. Whatever happens, I deserve it."

"I wanted to help. That was all. Things just got messed up. I lost sight of what matters."

"I'd give anything to go back and change what I did. The hell was I thinking?"

"You keep fighting, Batman, despite setback, failure and loss. It's a pleasure to watch such resolve deliquesce."
