Bale is just right for this emerging version of Batman. Its strange to — Batman Begins

"[slurring] Everyone? Everybody? I want to thank you all for coming here tonight and drinking all of my booze. No, really. Thats the thing about being a Wayne: that youre never short of a few freeloaders like yourselves to fill up your mansion with. So heres to you people. Thank you. [takes a drink] Um, Im not finished. To all you phonies, you two-faced friends, you sycophantic suck-ups who smile through your teeth at me: please leave me in peace. Please go! Stop smiling. Its not a joke. Please leave. The partys over. Get out. [party guests leave, revealing Ras al Ghuls men]"

"Its not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me."

"In this retelling of the story, Bales Bruce Wayne is the son of an idealistic American billionaire, an FDR-style patrician liberal who withdrew from the day-to-day running of the family corporation to practise medicine and donate vast sums to establishing a proper public transportation system for Gotham: a gleaming new monorail. As a child, Bruce remembers riding on this train with his parents, instead of in a limo, but Nolan neatly contrives that it is this monorail which, in the denatured and decadent city of Waynes adulthood, is the scene of Gothams operatic Armageddon."

"If Bales superhero and Katie Holmes assistant district attorney were more romantically inclined in Batman Begins, you could imagine her telling her gal pals, "Theres just something about his chin."

"Batman starts stripping away each layer of Gotham crime only to discover a sicker and more monstrous evil beneath, his rancid city simultaneously invokes early 90s New York, when criminals frolicked to the tune of five murders a day; Serpico New York, when cops were for sale; and today, when psychos seek to kill us all at once rather than one by one."

"They told me there was nothing out there, nothing to fear. But the night my parents were murdered I caught a glimpse of something. Ive 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."

"Afghanistan is the land of Pashtuns. It always has been, always will be. We are the true Afghans, the pure Afghans, not this Flat-Nose here. His people pollute our homeland, our watan. They dirty our blood."

"Likewise, both Syaoran and Watanuki differed in name and appearance. It was as their parents wished it... in order to avoid erasing either of the two... Syaoran [Li] changed his face, and even his family name. Through that name, this child [Watanuki] was kept hidden. ~~ Chapter 167"

"The staff Watanuki found before was a mere replica. But this one here is the one and only "Star Staff". The price paid by Sakura [Kinomoto]-chan, true inheritor to the magic woven by Clow. ~~ Chapter 167"
