Movie quotes

  • (..) but that doesn't make you what you were. If this man is everything that you say he is, then the city needs me. The city needs Bruce Wayne. Your resources, your knowledge. It doesn't need your body, or your life. That time's past. You're afraid that, if I go back out there, I'll fail. (..)
