31 Most Iconic Lines From Batman Movies

18. Dead Therapy

The Quote: "I've been dead once already... It's quite interesting... you should see it as a... therapy!"

It's not just the power of the line - tongue stuffed firmly in cheek around gritted teeth - that makes this particular Jokes moment so iconic, but also the framing of the character as he stands swathed in darkness - the perfect marriage for the supernatural elements of the character.

17. Power Surplus?

The Quote: "Power surplus? Bruce, shame on you. No such thing. One can never have too much power. If my life has a meaning, that's the meaning."

Though he is probably the most over-looked of all of Batman's villains, Christopher Walken's Max Shreck offered a different scale of villainy. He is not a monster in the traditional sense, as his co-villains The Penguin and Catwoman are, but his evil is clearly more malignant, since he has no apparent motivation other than good old fashioned malevolence.
