"Remnants of Gotham, I have messages for you all. To the vandals who stayed behind to pick the still warm flesh from Gotham's bones: have your fun. You are under my protection. To the cowards quaking behind the police department's walls: you will not be spared. And to Batman: I have already won. Emptied your city with a vile of toxin and a few threatened words. That's how little the safety you provided was worth. And when the dawn comes, when Gotham lies in ruin and I turn my gaze to the world beyond, the legend of the Batman will be worth nothing at all."

"How many more bones will you crush? How many lives will you destroy in pursuit of what you call justice? You are the product of everything you fear. Violence... Darkness... Helplessness... All that remains is for you to watch as I drag your beloved Gotham into oblivion."

"What do you seek in those tunnels, Batman? Hope? You will find none. I once searched for terror in chemistry. I thought perfectly arranged atoms could unlock the demons in a man's mind. You proved me wrong."

"How can the world know fear, true dread, when there is you? A stalwart knight, ever ready to slay monsters. Fear isn't pure biology, Batman. It's more than instinct. True fear is the absence of hope. And hope is the spread wings of a bat, shining on the clouds."

"You promised that Gotham would be safe! Protected! But what does the world see now? My toxin choking its streets, blotting out the moonlight, poisoning the saplings you thought could stop me! And now, Dark Knight, I turn to you. But don't be afraid. It's not your life that needs ending, it's your myth. The hope that you stand for. The hope that dies tonight."

"[Monologue after being defeated.] You ever wonder how things got to be so bad here? I do. All the time."

"Mmmm! This fruitcake is fantastic! Anyone want a piece?"

"Do they even have manners where he comes from? You see, it's a tradition in my house-to open one present each on Christmas Eve. Hmm…How about…this one? [blows up a building, then laughs evilly and sings a bit of "The 12 Days of Christmas"] And a partridge in a pear treeee!"

"NOW THIS IS WHAT I CALL A PARTY! [fires his machine gun at a helicopter]"

"[after Batman saved him from falling to his death as he didn't want to be saved] Now...Why? Why? Why would you do that? Newsflash: I'm the one who's trying to kill you! [shoots and kills two of his minions; points his pistol at Batman] Those were two very, VERY bad men. The things they've done… [clicks tongue] You really don't want to know. They deserved death-just like me."

"You of all people should know, there's nothing so cruel as memory…. the pointy biting little thunderbolts, unwanted party crashers, SCREAMERS through your synapses.. inescapable, unrelenting…. not at all friendly. You can't even escape into MADNESS!"

"I feel adrift- floating -like someone's pulled the stopper on my reality and I'm SUCKED down the drain into something new. It's all very exciting really. You wouldn't know what that feels like, I'm sure."

"It's like meeting someone I can actually relate to-…which believe me, dear, I've NEVER felt before. You understand. You're someone who's not afraid to let go-and fall. Free falling. And I didn't pack a chute."

"What our friend Bane holds in his hand... is a heart monitor. Once he clamps it on, every beat of his vacant little heart will charge the battery... on this electric chair. And when it's fully charged...! [mimicks being electrocuted]"

"Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim. Have a seat, Jimbo. We'll fry together - like two little potato latkes."

"[after Batman defeats Bane] Well, I'd love to stay and celebrate your victory, but I've got stockings to stuff, mistletoe to hang, and about fifteen skyscrapers to blow up before sunrise! Ciao! [runs away, laughing]"

"[fighting Batman] You just can't get through your thick skull! WE BOTH EXIST BECAUSE OF THEM!"

"[Introduction] Oppressed citizens of Gotham, your cries for help have been heard! I am Anarky - voice of the people - here to save you from the plague of corruption that now infests this once proud city! Those hired and elected to keep us free and safe won't lift a finger. And why would they? They've been bought and paid for, encouraged to turn a blind eye! If they won't act, I will! At dawn's first light, the sources of Gotham's ruin WILL. BE. DESTROYED! Now back to your regularly scheduled programming of propaganda and consumerist garbage."

"[Contacting Batman] Hello, Batman. I was hoping to get a minute of your time. See, I've got a story to tell you. About crime and violence. Greed and vengeance. But it's also a story of redemption. Of second chances. Of change. I've planted three bombs where Gotham's corruption is at it's strongest. But unlike those I fight to overthrow, I believe in choice. So, I offer you one: Let them detonate or stop them. Your actions will determine what I do with you."

"[While beating Black Mask up] By my count, there are still nine more ribs I can break."

"[While confronting Killer Croc] You want teeth?! I want answers."

"[After beating Black Mask up] I can control your pacemaker remotely. Wanna see what two hundred and fifty beats per minute feels like?"

"[Scanning the bank manager's body for the cause of her death in detective mode] The laughter was a side effect of a poison. She wasn't laughing - she was dying. If I had known she was poisoned, I might have been able to save her."

"[While looking at Copperhead beating Batman] Kill him and I'll pay whatever you want. Make him suffer and I'll double it."

"[Running while Batman fights Copperhead] Couple a'freaks. You two deserve each other."

"Do you hear that? Sounds like eight tiny reindeer."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Must be a bad connection. I thought I heard you say that after I SHOT HIM, and BLEW UP a building on him, THE BAT- SOMEHOW SURVIVED?!!?"

"I'm the guy with the money… And the gun!"

"So, when I hire you to kill the Batman, you SHUT THE HELL UP AND KILL THE BATMAN!"

"What are you, Batman? Chicken?"

"Is your mind playing tricks on you... or am I?"

"Are you enjoying the extra dose, little Bat?"

"Why fight it, Batman? You're as crazy as the rest of us. You need us just as much as we need you."

"At the end of fear, oblivion."

"You failed. Now, suffer!"

"Now, madness takes you forever."

"What's the matter, little bat? Do you need your mommy?"

"Our head of research, Dr. Crane, has made no real progress, but he seems to enjoy his work so, what the hell."

"When I first heard the Joker aimed to take over this bughouse, like many of us, I thought he was crazy. When he outlined his vision of a hospital dedicated to ensuring inmates remain loopy for as long as possible, I thought he was wacky. But when he held me down and razor cut a new smile on my face, I decided he had a point; Situated in a small island in Gotham Bay, we stop at nothing to making sure no screwballs fly the coop."
