Batman Begins

It's not about who I am underneath

It's what I do

That defines

Me

Alfred: You start pretending to have fun, you might even have a little by accident.

Bruce Wayne: Bats frighten me. It's time my enemies shared my dread.

Bruce Wayne: I seek... a means to fight injustice. To turn fear against those who prey on the fearful.

Alfred: Time to get up.
Bruce Wayne: Bats are nocturnal.
Alfred: That may be, but even for billionaire playboys, 3:00 is pushing it.

Bruce Wayne: A guy who dresses as a bat clearly has issues.

Bruce Wayne: I'm going to show the people of Gotham that the city doesn't belong to the criminals and the corrupt. People need dramatic examples to shake them out of apathy. I can't do this as Bruce Wayne. A man is just flesh and blood and can be ignored or destroyed. But as a symbol... as a symbol, I can be incorruptible, everlasting.

Bruce Wayne: They told me there was nothing out there, nothing to fear. But the night my parents were murdered I caught a glimpse of something. I've looked for it ever since. I went around the world, searched in all the shadows. And there is something out there in the darkness, something terrifying, something that will not stop until it gets revenge. Me.
