31 Most Iconic Lines From Batman Movies

16. Never Say Thank You

The Quote:

Gordon: "I never said thank you."Batman: "And you'll never have to."

For a dark knight, Batman has a very obvious need to be the white knight for Gordon, who he arguably reserves his most morally pure side for, and this hero moment reinforces that perfectly, as well as giving further insight into how Batman's duty to the city means he has no choice but to protect and serve the city. In batting away Gordon's offer of thanks, Batman says as much about the tragedy of his situation as he does about his duty.

15. Batnip

The Quote: "You're catnip to a girl like me. Handsome, dazed, and to die for."

Long before Heath Ledger's creepy bromance was defined in The Dark Knight, Tim Burton was playing with the same dynamic as Catwoman admitted that she was fundamentally drawn to the Batman. And it's not just his car, or his rubber suit either: the implication of course is that beyond sexual attraction, Catwoman is just as defined by the Bat as every one of the other rogues.
