31 Most Iconic Lines From Batman Movies
4. Confirmation That Gordon Was The Hero All Along...
The Quote: A hero can be anyone, even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coat on a young boys shoulders to let him know the world hadnt ended.
It's fairly clear that Jim Gordon is Christopher Nolan's hero, but it takes three films to get to the moment that confirms as much visually for the audience as Batman gives up his secret identity with a line that reinforces exactly how he measures heroism.
3. Pain, Thy Name Is Batman.
The Quote: "I have given a name to my pain and it is the Batman."
Definition is a big theme in every Batman movie, especially when it comes to the villains. Almost every one of the rogues who make up the cinematic gallery - especially the best ones anyway- have been defined by their relationship with Batman (or their perceived relationship with him), and the Joker's dynamic is the most enduring of all.
He is the comic book Frankenstein's monster - particularly in Burton's original - created by a fudged attempt to make the world better, and defined by an over-riding desire not only to kill his creator in vengeance, but to share his perverse acceptance by the people of Gotham.
