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.
The Dark Knight Rises (2012) dir. Christopher Nolan
To them, you're just a freak. Like me. They need you right now, but when they don't... they'll cast you out. Like a leper. See, their "morals", their "code"... it's a bad joke. Dropped at the first sign of trouble. They're only as good as the world allows them to be. I'll show you. When the chips are down, these “civilized people”? They'll eat each other.
The Dark Knight (2008) dir. Christopher Nolan
A vigilante is just a man lost in the scramble for his own gratification. He can be destroyed, or locked up. But if you make yourself more than just a man, if you devote yourself to an ideal, and if they can't stop you... then you become something else entirely.
Batman Begins (2005) dir. Christopher Nolan
