Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight.
I don't think Batman should spend a whole movie yapping, you know? He should choose his words carefully and speak low.
Hand me down the shark repellent Bat-Spray!
'The Dark Knight,' for me, has the same problem that every other 'Batman' movie has. It's not about Batman. I think Heath Ledger is just phenomenal and the character of the Joker is beautifully written. He has a particular philosophy that he carries throughout the movie. He has one of the best bad guy schemes.
'Batman' is pretty much real world-centric.
Batman had a certain speech pattern that I established because he was always Sherlock Holmes-ian. He was Basil Rathbone. In other words, he was always musing about something.
It took them a while to catch on that Batman would be the greatest.
You can't play Batman in a serious, square-jawed, straight-ahead way without giving the audience the sense that there's something behind that mask waiting to get out, that he's a little crazed; he's strange.
I am the least qualified person to comment on anyone playing the role of Batman since I so terribly destroyed the part.
'Avengers' was a great comic-book movie. 'The Dark Knight Rises' is a great epic.
Playing Batman is an actor's challenge. First, it's different; then, you have to reach a multi-level audience. The kids take it straight, but for adults, we have to project it further.
Batman is easily my most favorite character beside Spawn.
I'll always stand by the first 'Batman'. Even for its imperfections, people will never know how hard that movie was to do. A lot of that still holds up.
Batman's got this whole cloaked 'man of mystery' thing around him and represents a wish fulfillment. He's more driven than Superman yet is also very human.
I intend to explode the myths about myself and get down to the real truth about the legend that is Batman.
He smiled, and it made his dimples come out. “I think I’m more Batman,” he said. “You know, what with all the bats and nighttime activities. And Batman is much cooler.” “Geek.” His smile widened. “You say the nicest things. Haven’t you heard? Geeks run the world now.” -BLACK DAWN
I always think it's absurd when people go, 'How can you have a show about Batman without Batman?' 'Gotham' is plenty fascinating, 'Chinatown' style.
I loved Batman as a kid.
The 'Batman' franchise is iconic and its a privilege to now be able to visualize it in my own way.
When I started writing 'Batman,' I lobbied heavily to get rid of Robin - or at least not use him in the stories I wrote. Fighting crime with a teenager dressed in primary colors while you're sporting a gray-and-black outfit always struck me as child endangerment, if not abuse.
I'm not a fan of the Michael Keaton 'Batman,' which came out in 1989.
I think 'Batman Begins' is certainly my favorite Batman movie I've seen.
My style hero was' Batman.' Now it's Tony Stark.
I have given a name to my pain, and it is Batman.
I think our Batman had to be fun, light-hearted, funny, tongue-in-cheek... and I think that made kind of an homage to those earlier comic books, where Batman always had a quip or something.
