20 Iconic Quotes From Robert Pattinson’s The Batman (2022)

Batman is the symbol of rage and vengeance for the people of Gotham. Whenever the city needs him, he’s ready to instil crippling fear among the criminals. The Bat symbol shining in the night sky was enough for the city scum to cower away in fear.

As Bruce states, he cannot be everywhere, but what can be.. is the fear of the Batman. Bruce uses fear perfectly. To give the people a symbol to look up to and to give the criminals a reason to be afraid…. fear was the perfect tool.

Batman is one with the darkness, and these words from Bruce depict that trait perfectly. Every dark alley in the city of Gotham, embodies Batman. No one knows if he’s there or not, but the fear that he might be.

Bruce was a man who had been through a lot, with a lot on his shoulders. As a single man harbouring all the hopes of a dying city, Bruce wasn’t sure of himself. He didn’t see himself as the symbol the city needed, but was not going to quit anyway.

Gotham was home to the vilest and most dangerous line of criminals. From Maroni to Falcone, everyone was a grade above the other in terms of vices.

This states how well Batman is associated with his origin. The pain and suffering he felt after losing his parents, has stuck with him. An agony that he uses to fuel his vengeance upon the criminals of Gotham.

Bruce had his priorities set. Even if he had inherited the limitless wealth of the Wayne family, he didn’t care about it. To him, Gotham mattered more. The safety of its citizens and the eradication of its criminals were more important to him than his own life.

When Gordon and Batman are investigating Pete Savage’s death, they find evidence stating his involvement in the drops business. When Gordon questions why he would face such a tragic end. Batman answers the question with appropriate words. Anyone who crossed their limits in Gotham, met a tragic end.

Alfred had always been more than a butler to the Wayne’s and now he was the only family Bruce had left. Alfred took care of Bruce as he would of his own son. With such minimal gestures he always fulfilled his duty to the Wayne household.

Selina somewhat understands Batman, even without knowing who he is. Bruce assumed that Selina was involved with Falcone just for the money, when in fact, he was her real father. Selina understood why he would assume that, and why he only looked for everyone’s dark sides to apprehend them.

This line states the bond that Selina and Bruce share. Selina was a helpless child who grew up on her own and Bruce had to witness his parent’s death. In some way or the other, they both understood each other’s agony. While Selina was embracing her scars, Bruce hid them away under the cape of Justice.

Falcone is a criminal but he says some real words here. Desperation can drive even the best of men to follow the paths of cruelty and corruption, just as it drove Bruce’s father to resort to Falcone to silence a reporter.

Bruce was broken to hear that his father had a man killed just to save his reputation. He realised that Alfred, the only family he had, had been lying to him as well. Bruce’s image of his ideal and righteous father had been torn apart by the facts brought forth by the riddler.

Alfred was a loyal servant to the Waynes, but had his bag of regrets as well. As a butler, he was the one who had to ensure his Master’s safety. The one task that he failed to do.

Alfred and Bruce were alike. They both were failing to protect what mattered to them. While Bruce thought he wasn’t enough to save the city of Gotham, Alfred thought that he wasn’t enough of a father to Bruce.

Bruce believed that he had mastered his fears, that it was his tool now to terrorize the criminals of Gotham. But as Riddler attacks the Wayne Tower, Bruce had again felt the fear of losing a loved one. A fear he had never thought he would experience again.

Selina is a witty and determined young woman. When Batman asks her not to go after Falcone, she states that she wasn’t afraid of dying. Avenging Annika was the only thing driving her.

Bruce knows his limits. Neither would he kill nor would he watch his friend become a killer. Selina had suffered enough in her life. Bruce didn’t want her to carry the burden of murdering her own father for the rest of her life.

Gordon was one of the few honest policemen still left in Gotham. When threatened by Falcone during his arrest, Gordon puts him back in his place by showing him the fearless Gotham’s best.

Batman never rests. When Selina asks him to get away from this dying city, the sky shining the Bat symbol answers for him. Batman can never leave Gotham, not until he changes it for the better.
