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

"[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?"

"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!"

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

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

"I've seen the answer, Batman, many times over! They commune with me! The flames... have you not been transfixed by their flickering light?"

"[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!"

"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."

"[after being captured] Locked in here, surrounded by inferior minds... I can almost feel them sucking the intelligence out of me!"

"[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!"

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

"[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."

"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."

"[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?"

"Bats? Bats?! BAAAATS?!?"

"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."

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

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

"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!"

"[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."

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

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

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

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

"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!"

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

"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."

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

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

"Our army is trained, Batman. Disciplined and loyal. They lack the cowardice you rely on and exploit."

"What scares you more, Batman? The thought that Gotham might fall? Or the notion that when it does, you will no longer be needed to protect it?"

"Are you scared, petty criminals of Gotham? Of the tanks rolling across the roads? The armed men patrolling your streets? Be calm. They are not hunting you."

"What do you see when perched on high? Prey that no longer fears you? A dead city that heralds your own demise?"

"It's gone, Dark Knight - the grip you had on Gotham, your long reign of fear. I'm sovereign now."

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

"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!"

"The violence on Stagg's airship was not your usual cold brutality. It was sadism. Your true instincts emerge, Batman: thorned weeds, creeping through cracked granite."

"Welcome to Gotham, City of Fear."

"Without fear, life is meaningless!"

"Why aren't you scared?!"

"Gotham. This is your only warning. Abandon this city... or I will unleash your greatest fears."

"[after Batman's unmasking] Looks like we both had our secrets, huh, Batman? I can't imagine yours ever involved burning down half the city."
