""Stop me? You worms -- how can any of you stop me? Back in Florida, I was a sideshow freak -- I wrestled alligators to entertain the marks! I broke their backs with my bare hands! Then I got smart. I had the strength, I had the hate -- why shouldn't I use it to get what I wanted? "Killer Croc" -- that's what they called me. But some day, some day, I knew they'd call me king!" - Batman #358"

""Karma. That I understand." - Batgirl #25"

""I'm crazy about... Well hey, I'm just crazy." - Gotham Girls"

"(about Arkham) What a dump. - Gotham Girls"

"(To Catwoman about Poison Ivy) "I understand. Yet, as a psychiatrist I feel that Ivy having social interaction with the regular world can only benefit... Ooh, cute puppy!" - Gotham City Sirens #11"

""If you think Arkham's scary as a doctor, you should try it as a patient." - Detective Comics #831"

""Get up, you deadbeat! That was the only place in town with a scintillatin' selection of polyester fashion! Where you think I'm gonna shop now? - Harley Quinn #9"

""There's no such thing as safe sex with some alien races. Think acid-for-blood. Think mate-then-kill." - Harley Quinn #15"

""What is a friend? A single soul residing in two bodies." - Batman: Hush"

""Well, what d'ya know -- looks like we ran outta friends... for a while, at least. And me the social type! Or is that sociopathic?" - Harley Quinn #18"

""My love for my Joker was stronger than their madhouse walls." - Batman: Harley Quinn"

""Face it, Harley-- you and your Puddin' are kaput! You're playin' solitaire now-- not hearts!" - Harley Quinn #2"

"[After being instructed by a SWAT team to "Get on her knees"] "Maybe when we get to know each other better." - "Harley Quinn #28"

""I found the Joker's psyche disturbing, his dementia alarming, and his charm irresistible!" - Batman: Harley Quinn"

""I am not allowing you to pass out. I want your men to see you beg. Then you will apologize with a pain you will remember always." - Birds of Prey #62"

"(about Bruce Wayne ) "Brucie's got a lot more on the ball than you'd think. He's got a presence. He hides it under that society suave, but there's a real intensity. Only others I ever met like that were Mistah J... and Batman!" - Harley Quinn #6"

"[to Batman] "I've never seen ya' laugh before... I don't think I like it. Cut it out! You're givin' me the creeps." - Batman: Mad Love"

""All men by nature seek knowledge." - Batman: Hush"

"[When asked by Li if Red Hood is crazy for selling back their kryptonite for $50,000,000] "No. The crazy ones would make a suit out of the rock and march into Metropolis and play 'king of the mountain'. This one knows what he's doing.""

"I'm not pleased, you know. Not pleased at all. And despite appearances, this isn't a damned smile on my face."

"I swear, it's like trying to run a crime organization with my mother."

"I'm listening, and when I say I'm listening, I'm also thinking about killing you."

"“I’d kill for anything. I’d kill to silence a grating voice, to darken the light in the eyes that dared look at me.” -Batman: Knightfall"

""I have only one rule when dealing with the enemy. Give them nothing. Not solace, not mercy, not kindness, not torment, not provisions, and - most assuredly - not satisfaction." - Secret Six #05"

"And I'll just wait here... because I'm known for my patience."

""You break him by breaking everyone he loves and stacking them, defiled and ruined, in his grand foyer." - Secret Six #35"

"To me the whole killing of Robin thing was probably the ugliest thing I've seen in comics, and the most cynical."

"It would be a really sleazy stunt to bring him back."

""Once again, my place here is threatened. Someone reaches across the world to take what is mine Gotham is a prize coveted by many. I can never rest. Always there is someone seeking to take what is Bane's. As in prison so it is outside. All I own is challenged. A challenge that must be met with overwhelming force. You understand, mi hermano. You have been with me always. You know what I must do." - Bane: Conquest Vol 1, #1"

"His name is Jason Todd. A lot of people say he's crazy. Like, say the entire staff of Arkham Asylum. Maybe they're right. I'm hardly in a position to judge. Anyone. But as he pops out of his disguise--blows my chain off my ball--and gives me my bow and quiver? Let's just say Red Hood is my kind of crazy!"

"At this point [Jason] is beyond the point of no return in terms of ever being considered even remotely a hero. What I wanted to do here is put him in a place that he can't come back from. The things that he does here in Battle for the Cowl are things that can never really be forgiven. The only outcome would have to be imprisonment or something worse. But from this point on for Jason the gray area between good and bad has disappeared. It's crystal clear now that he is on the dark side."

""I could kill you... but death would only end your agony -- and silence your shame. (lifts Batman over his head) Instead, I will simply... (snaps Batman's spine on his knee) ...BREAK YOU! (dumps Batman's broken body on the ground) Broken...and done." -Batman: Knightfall"

"If only Jason could have reached out to us. Any one of us. He could have saved himself. But you know what? Some people don't want to be saved. Because saving means changing. And changing is always harder than staying the same. It takes courage to face yourself in the mirror and look beyond the reflection. To find the you that you should have been. The you that got derailed by cruel childhood events. Events that took your life's natural trajectory and twisted it. Changing it into something unimaginable … or even incredible"

""Aw, c'mon, Puddin' -- don'tcha wanna rev up ya Harley? Vroom! Vroom!" - Batman: Mad Love"

"See, now? If Bats were here, he'd have explained that I wasn't probably supposed to do that. He'd say there are better ways to spend your energy. "You're a Robin. Be a Robin." That's what he'd say, if Bats was here. (Robin War Vol 1 1, 2016; by Tom King)"

"This is Red Hood and Red Robin broadcasting on all Spyral satellite communications. The following message is for Agent 37. We have discovered the truth behind Mother's signal and are inbound to your location. Mother's children aren't evil. They're not monsters. They're victims of programming, abuse, and trauma. And they can change. Which means they're not the enemy. Fact is, they're just like us. We may have began as the soldiers Batman built for his crusade. But we became something else, something he never expected. We started as an army. We chose to be a family. And if there's hope for us... there's hope for anyone.

"Listen to the city on the other side of the walls. The cars racing to places people don't want to go. The ambulances racing from horror to hope. Listen to the people shouting and laughing and loving and fighting and giving birth and taking lives. Listen for the heartbeat among the chaos of Gotham City... like I did when I was a kid and slept on the sidewalk on more than one night. There is a world out there in this one city. Can you hear it? (Red Hood and the Outlaws Vol 2 4, 2017; by Scott Lobdell)"

"My name is Jason Todd. In my short lives, I've been a homeless kid --...and an outlaw. To name a few. Now? God help us one and all... I'm a teacher. (Red Hood: Outlaw Annual Vol 1 3, 2019; by Scott Lobdell)"

"None of us Robins were ever as good as Batgirl. We knew it. Drove us all crazy... I think it was because she didn't do what she does for revenge. Not like ol' dead Nightwing or me. She doesn't fight for some ghost. She fights for someone alive. (Batman Eternal Vol 1 18, 2014; by Tim Seeley, James Tynion IV, Scott Snyder, Ray Fawkes, and John Layman)"

""Face it, Harl. This stinks -- yer a certified nutso wanted in twelve states -- and hopelessly in love with a psychopathic clown. Hey, when did my life go Loony Tunes!?" - Batman: Mad Love"

"(to Batman) Is that what you think this is about? That you let me die?! I don't know what clouds your judgment worse. Your guilt or your antiquated sense of morality. Bruce, I forgive you for not saving me. But why, why on God's Earth..." (kicks open a door, revealing the Joker.) "...IS HE STILL ALIVE?!?"
