I'll be standing where l belong. Between you and the peopIe of Gotham. My anger outweights my guilt. I can't do that as Bruce Wayne... as a man. I'm flesh and blood. I can be ignored, destroyed. But as a symbol, I can be incorruptible, I can be everlasting.

Someone like you. Someone who'll rattle the cages. Bruce Wayne, eccentric billionaire. No guns, no killing. The first time I stole so that I wouldn't starve, yes. I lost many assumptions about the simple nature of right and wrong. And when I traveled I learned the fear before a crime and the thrill of success. But I never became one of them.
