Why So Serious? My First Private Giveaway

Do you know who I am? I'm the goddamn Batman.

"Ladies and Gentlemen! You've read about it in the papers! Now witness, before your very eyes, that most rare and tragic of nature's mistakes! I give you: the average man. Physically unremarkable, it instead possesses a deformed set of values. Notice the hideously bloated sense of humanity's importance. Also note the club-footed social conscience and the withered optimism. It's certainly not for the squeamish, is it? Most repulsive of all, are its frail and useless notions of order and sanity. If too much weight is placed upon them... they snap. How does it live, I hear you ask? How does this poor pathetic specimen survive in today's harsh and irrational environment? I'm afraid the sad answer is, "Not very well." Faced with the inescapable fact that human existence is mad, random, and pointless, one in eight of them crack up and go stark slavering buggo! Who can blame them? In a world as psychotic as this... any other response would be crazy!"

-The Killing Joke

Why?
Because Serious Sam.

You wanna know how I got these scars? My father, was a drinker, and a fiend. And one night, he goes off crazier than usual. Mommy gets the kitchen knife to defend herself. He doesn't like that. Not. One. Bit. So, me watching, he takes the knife to her, laughing while he does it. He turns to me and says, "Why so serious?" Comes at me with the knife. "WHY SO SERIOUS?" He sticks the blade in my mouth... "Let's put a smile on that face." And... Why so serious?"

• Joker

You can watch me torture an entire city and when you have truly understood the depth of your failure, we will fulfill Ra's al Ghul's destiny... We will destroy Gotham and then, when it is done and Gotham is ashes, then you have my permission to die."

• Bane

Holy rusted metal Batman!

(what an utter abortion of a movie that was...)

This makes me wanna watch batman O.o

Batman talking to Joker, in "BatmanL The Killing Joke" :

"Hello. I came to talk. I've been thinking lately. About you and me. About what's going to happen to us in the end. We're going to kill each other, aren't we? Perhaps you'll kill me. Perhaps I'll kill you. Perhaps sooner. Perhaps later."

"Don't you understand? I don't want to hurt you. I don't want either of us to end up killing the other. But we're both running out of alternatives, and we both know it. Maybe it all hinges on tonight. Maybe this is our last chance to sort this whole bloody mess out. If you don't take it, then we're both locked onto a suicide course. Both of us. To the death. It doesn't have to end like that. I don't know what it was that bent your life out of shape, but who knows? Maybe I've been there too. Maybe I can help. We could work together. I could rehabilitate you. You needn't be out there on the edge anymore. You needn't be alone. We don't have to kill each other. What do you say?"

I am VENGEANCE, I am the NIGHT, I am BATMAN!

"Smile!" from the Killing Joke. Even got a poster with that.

The Joker to Batman: "Come on, I want you to do it, I want you to do it. Come on, hit me. Hit me! "

"He's young, he'll walk again."

"Do you want to know why I use a knife? Guns are too quick. You can't savor all the... little emotions. In... you see, in their last moments, people show you who they really are. So in a way, I know your friends better than you ever did. Would you like to know which of them were cowards?" Joker

"I am the terror that flaps in the night. I am the surprise in your cereal box..." Wait, that's from Darkwing Duck.

How about a quote from the theatrical masterpiece that is Batman & Robin: "What killed the dinosaurs? The Ice Age!" -Mr. Freeze

Thanks to all who entered and provided quotes. Good luck.

I loved the quote near the end of The Dark Knight Rises, where Commissioner Gordon is standing over Bruce Wayne's grave and reads the lines from "A Tale of Two Cities" by Charles Dickens:

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 part where he is batman

A supersticious, cowardly lot!
They plan and plot, but they always get caught!
Their evil schemes all come to naught!
A supersticious cowardly lot!
