![The Dark Knight Rises - Batman's First Appearance[HD]](/img/tr.png)
He’s a silent guardian.
A watchful protector.
A dark knight.
The most Perfect line to end a Batman movie on, especially to have it come from Gordon
yes we watched the movie lol
Goosebumps
They’ll set the dogs on him because sometimes the truth isn’t good enough
Chills, everytime
Still the greatest ever ending in a superhero movie 💯
I think the only one that tops it is The Dark Knight Rises.
Endgame?
I agreed until I saw The Batman
@@NagaSasank that crap isn't even the best avengers movie, let alone superhero movies
@@therealsamasima 🤣🤣🤣
"So we'll hunt him... because he can take it."
*Such an awesome scene.*
“People are dying Alfred. What would you have me do?”
“Endure, Master Wayne. Take it. They’ll hate you for it. But that’s the point of Batman.”
True to life. The good and moral and true take the fall all the time for other peoples mistakes, because they can take it! Even if they are hated for it!
Because he can take it.
Turns out he quit a few days later cos he really hurt his leg lol
@@eon5323LOL, but all jokes aside TDKR proof that it's not the Batman himself that needs to be "chased" but the idea of him, the idea that Batman is the greatest threat to Gotham and for 8 long years he vanished, giving the people of of Gotham the illusion that they've won
Still in my opinion the greatest superhero movie of all time.
I agree
Spider-Man 2???
@@jasonlewis9240 Spider-Man 2, Iron man, Infinity War, Logan, and The Batman are the greatest contenders lol
@@johnnymanning2952 the batman (2022) is good but cant even step to the dark knight. Its better than batman begins tho
@@barebevil. duh that's why the Dark knight is in the US Library of Congress, even articles say thd Dark knight is above The Batman and rotten tomatoes in consensus for 94% and it also made top five and even top 15 for greatest movies of all time behind godfather, shawshank redemption,
The perfect ending for this movie, couldn't imagine a better one for that. It's very different ending compare to most superhero endings right now, and Nolan did it perfectly
If ledger was alive we would have a much better ending and a much better dark knight rises. But I'm still grateful for what we have
@@rojiislam1223 this was the planned ending for TDK. Heath being alive wouldn’t have changed this film. Rises maybe. But not TDK
@@gamegladi8or669 wait seriously?
@@gamegladi8or669 I saw someone comment that two face was planned to be the main villain in rises. Then how can the ending be same?
@@rojiislam1223 Heath finished all his scenes. Therefore this was the planned ending. Heath being still alive wouldn’t have changed the film. The screenplay was done by the time they began filming. He died once the film was finished filming. They wouldn’t have had time to plan and then shoot a different ending, let alone one so memorable and effective, in just a few months. Not to mention, Heath isn’t even in any of the ending scenes.
Nolan crushed that ending. Amazing. In the theatres when the movie ended people clapped. I had never heard that before 🦇
Same. Opening day in IMAX and people clapped for like 15 seconds straight. Never seen that back in those days
I'll never forget seeing it in IMAX in Albany Ny. People actually stood up out of their seats to clap and cheer and everybody in the theater was talking to each other. Random people were high-fiving. The only other time I had seen something like that at that point was the ending of Spider-Man 1 and 2, and I didn't really experience it again until Fury Road and Avengers: Endgame. At Endgame people were cheering like RDJ was actually in the audience or something, lol.
I saw it the first Saturday it came out at 2pm and it was absolutely packed. Had to sit in the third row back.
What made the day even better was that the finale of Avatar came on that same night and my friends from Illinois came home
@@RB01.10 Really? Why is Avatar so worth the recognition and hype? Yes, that film has amazing cinematography an epic score, but ultimately it comes down to how the director treats his crew. I would definitely see Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy rather than go to some maniac director's forced out production.
Ever since I came to Canada, that all changed.
This movie proves that you don't need a happy ending to make a great movie atleast in the superhero genre
@@eca3211 STOP POSTING THIS CRAP!!!!!!!!
@@ahmadmohammed4212 it's a bot
So does Infinity War
I believe this was supposed to be a happy ending. Batman beat Harvey two faces, and the Joker. You didn't feel Rachel loss too much because he chose Harvey over Bruce. Batman sacrifices his public image for the greater good. You don't feel bad when you finish the movie.
A valiant sacrifice will do just fine
"Because sometimes the truth isn't good enough...
...sometimes, people deserve more." while Alfred burning Rachel's letter… man Nolan is true genius. Best superhero ending of all time.
Am i the only one who cried when Gordon explains why they'll have to chase the Batman to his son!! A powerful message about a guardian from a father to son! Brilliant writing!!
"so we'll hunt him, because he can take it"
I always lose it here.
@@jamesdeboer6789 same brother, even the shots which synchronises with that is perfect..... always gets me
I can guarantee you that you are not the only who cried🤣
What gets me is when he realizes he must take blame
I felt it too 🦇🖤
One of the greatest scenes in the history of cinema.
@@eca3211 STOP POSTING THIS CRAP!!!!!!!!
💯
I’ve watched this ending scene over 100 times literally. Makes even the hardest men melt in emotion. Just beautiful.
What?!!! No.
@@nebulous6660 oh yes
This movie in my opinion is a total cinematic masterpiece that will be unchallenged and untouched for a very long time.
Not trying to be political and it sucks that this is considered a political take but until Hollywood straightens up no superhero movie will beat this one.. marvel phase 2 and 3 had some close ones but the MCU now isn’t even in the same ballpark as the nolan trilogy… would love it so much if Nolan did a Superman trilogy
@@Tlack333 I loved marvel but it took them 17 or more movies to build up to their best movie, but what Nolan with just a trilogy is amazing and no matter what or who does anything, nobody is going to beat this.
@@Tlack333mcu is a gimmick. All the movies feature virtually the same concept throughout. This movie has us watching it and talking about it 15 years later as if it just came out. I’ve seen roughly 65% of the MCU movies, once.
@@sheshasaibabagujjari3481idk Iron Man 1 is such a great film, it shows how a corrupt man became a hero, and the journey it took for him to become that hero. But the Nolan Batman trilogy is unmatched
I think no one will ever beat Gary Oldman's Gordon and Morgan Freeman's Fox.
100%
Micheal Caine's Alfred too
@@mellon6428 Wait... Your cocaine has a favourite Alfred!
No one will ever beat Heath Ledger's Joker and Christian Bale's Batman either.
What makes Batman into a superhero even without any powers is his willingness to sacrifice even his persona to do that which needs to be done. He does not care if the people he saves sees him as a hero or a villain - he just makes sure the change is made regardless
Absolutely right.
The will to act is everything. As trained by Ras-Al-Ghul
When you realise Batman could have pinned harvey' s murders on the mob or joker but his moral code does not permit him to falsely implicate someone else for crimes they didn't commit. Wow!! I just realised this and my respect for him has increased even further.
His moral code? What a bad joke. He betrayed the League of Shadows, failing to fulfill Ra's a Ghul's destiny!
@@Agent1W Fulfilling that destiny would likely include many innocent people dying, wouldn't it?
@@Agent1W You do realize they would send him to destroy Gotham? Chossing to save your city is quite moral and honorable than joining the cult that tends to destroy it.
@@Gebro_gaming891 Take a joke guys 💀
@@Crow-qm7zwI think you don't know what a joke is. Now a days every idiot says everything is joke on internet.
Words aren't good enough to express how much I love Bale's and Nolan take on Batman throughout the trilogy, and specially how devoted he is to his mission of saving Gotham by sacrificing himself in this movie by painting himself as the villain so that the people of Gotham City can feel hope in the system and people who work within it to fight crime and injustice. The fact that Matt Reeves took some inspiration from this movie in regards that in The Batman Bruce realizes that he must let go of his desire for vengeance, that Batman must become a symbol of hope to inspire Gotham and become the hero that his city needs him to be.
"As a man; I'm flesh and blood, i can be ignored i can be destroyed, but as a symbol. As a symbol I can be incorruptible. I can be everlasting"
1000 batman movies may come but this will be the best movie forever..................
The dark knight
I think Reeves visual take on Batman is too simplistic and forced, maybe even convoluted, on the other hand, Nolan did it so very elegantly and symbolically impossible to match. When I want to watch a great movie (not just a superhero one) I go back to the dark knight trilogy, they're just amazing pieces of art, with human emotions and positive teachings for everyone to see.
@@ernestotorres9761 matt Reeves did not understand Batman at all, it's a poor representation of what he did with the new movie
@@kingraiden2525 preach
@@ernestotorres9761 the Gotham city was well presented other than that .. most of the things felt so damn forced ... Trying too hard be iconic ... And just barely keeps itself still.
Love how every shot of batman after he takes all the blame on himself is either from behind or with lots of shadows where you can't see his face anymore indicating that he is no longer the hero. Such is Nolan's Cinematography.
That shot from behind with the cape blowing in the wind is mesmerizing.
the pain in Gordon's face when he has to smash the bat-signal in with the fire axe, *knowing* the true actions of Dent.
I like to believe the only way he was able to muster the strength to do it was to remember the evil committed, what was sacrificed to stop that evil, and to channel that energy into his swings.
This ending gave me goosebumps.
One of the best endings in a superhero movie ever. Hopefully The Batman gives us classic moments like these as well
Who knows, but I am not so sure it is going to dethrone this film as the caped crusader’s best outing.
@@Starwarsfanboy0928 it's the first one, and it's already miles better than Begins
@@ItsBobEvans Debatable it's not for everyone
@@ItsBobEvans begins is amazing
It had a good ending , but it felt a bit weak , the music was nice , but TDK is still better
The soundtrack always give me goosebumps
Me too
Hans Zimmer is a national treasure.
“He’s a silent guardian. A watchful protector. A Dark Knight.”
I still remember people in the theatre going crazy at that last moment.
My wife: "Why are they cheering. No one who made the movie is here to hear it."
Me: "They just saw something very special, and it moved them."
Gordon: a Dark Knight
Me: HE SAID IT! HE SAID THE THING!
My theatre erupted. It was epic
"Why's he running, Dad?"
"Because we have to chase him."
Always loved that line!
This scene makes me cry everytime 🥺🥺 what a masterpiece
l am here looking for this one comment because l knew there has to be atleast one person who relates other than me. 🥺🥺🥺
@@aurumstinger4479 OMG!!!! I ALWAYS CRY MY EYES OUT WITH THIS SCENE. But the part where I really start SOBBING, is alway the part when little James says: "But he didn't do anything wrong"🥺😢😭
This scene makes even the hardest men melt
@@aurumstinger4479you're not alone
I am a soldier this movie climax make me cry
When I saw this opening night in 2008, everyone stood to their feet and gave a standing ovation.
A Silent Guarding
A Watchful Protector
The Dark Knight
Is just perfect. That line alone is Oscar-worthy.
the end of Batman The Dark Knight 2008 with the wonderful soundtrack by Hans Zimmer and with the phrase "you die a hero or live long enough to become a villain", alfred burning Rachel's letter and with James Gordon's words about Batman that he is the hero that gotham deserves and saying that he is the dark knight. This ending was iconic and epic , I loved it a lot, 🙌 Thank you Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale 🙌 , Batman the dark knight 2008 is the best superhero movie ever 🦇
yessir
@@johnnymanning2952 thanks for you opinión
Thanks we can actually see everything you explained
@@fedorbrockmann1698 thanks
Alfred burnt the letter so Bruce won’t know the truth about Rachel. But at the same time Lucius won’t know the truth that his super spy system was not destroyed. Probably Batman kept a copy.
My Top 3 Batman Movies:
1. The Dark Knight
2. The Batman
3. Batman Begins
The Batman and The Dark Knight are switched in mine, but still a valid list
The Batman is overrated asf switch it out with either Batman 1989 or the dark knight rises. But it's your opinion so it's ok
The batman at best should be top 4, the nolan trilogy is just far better
Rises and Begins are both better than The Batman
@@luckymark571 it is
"Why is he running dad?"
"Because we have to chase him."
I've always loved those lines
This movie is so ahead of its time & the achievement no one could ever achieve
@@eca3211 STOP POSTING THIS CRAP!!!!!!!!
Thank you Christian Bale for being the best Batman and Thank you Heath Ledger for being the best Joker
Batfleck fans: “Christian bale is the worst Batman batfleck is better 🤓 “
The dark Knight is the best batman movie ever
@@chrismirwnitis2029 It's the best superhero movie ever IMO
@@starkiller6465 I love both, Bale a little more. Those will be the Battison fans.
@@optimus2008 battinson is straight out of the detective comics and has an actual good batman performance unlike bale, bale had a great bruce wayne, but thats it. bale is barely 6ft and runs around in a stuff rubber suit with throat cancer, he does zero detective work and fights like a slow old man, put nostalgia aside and use common sense, pattinson is the best along with conroy
I remember seeing this movie back in 2008, I was only seven but this movie made me love batman forever. Batman did what he thought was right for Gotham.
“Made me love Batman Forever”
Oop..
@@walterwhite4699 oh nooooooooo
@@walterwhite4699 it looks like a very poor choice of words
wow you watchee this when you we're seven and understood the story. clap clap
@@aroniax2791 well somewhat, i was mostly awed by the action of the Batman and how he took down two face and joker, I was too young to understand the plans of joker
The hype and anticipation for this movie in the summer of 2008 was something I’ll never forget
Same here. I was just a kid but I remember how much impact it left me.
I bet it blew away your expectations 😅
There was so much hype and anticipation. And then the movie managed to exceed all the hype and anticipation...
The part where batman says Gotham needs its true hero and at the same time he turns his face to hide the villian side is cinematic greatness at its best.
The Joker can not win.
True and the other side was so beautiful, smiling ❤
Fun fact: The two final scenes of Batman riding the motorcycle are actually cut from the earlier chase in the film. Fantastic editing.
This ending always brings tears to my eyes. The Dark Kinght remains the only film I saw in any cinema where I experienced the audience at the end of the film continuously clapping. Legendary film.
Perhaps the best ending to any movie ever. This is what a true hero does: takes the blame for other people's mistakes and goes on the run, because they can take it.
FREAKING CHILLS every time! This is the part of the movie that escalated The Dark Knight from a really good movie to "Epic" for me. 🍻🍻
This scene, the moment the boy says "why is he running dad" and Gordon answers "because we have to chase him". When you see him fleeing; The 'man' in ' the batman' became more apparent. At the end of the day, he is still a man. He can feel vulnerability, he can be ignored, he can be destroyed.
Powerful ending I love how Batman turned over Harvey Face to show the half that was a hero.
I remember watching the closing credits in the cinema for the first time realising I had just watched an absolute game changer.
"To them you're a freak, like me. They need you right now, but when they don't...they'll cast you out like a leper."
Perfect foreshadowing.
I always wondered if the Joker would have compared himself to Batman if he really knew who he was. It is a little easier being casted out when your other identity is a playboy billionaire.
@@zeaferjones1404I think he was more so comparing himself to the Batman identity and not also to the man behind the mask. In that comparison, he was right.
Best line ever,
"Cuz sometimes truth isnt good enough...
Sometimes people deserve more...
Sometimes people deserve to have their faith rewarded"
It's an interesting moral choice they make. The heroes agree to tell a "noble lie" but nonetheless a lie. They maintain a myth of the noble Harvey that is a lie, but a lie they want everyone to believe for the sake of keeping faith in justice.
@@oliverford5367 I thought about it. I think that the message is that: you can build something on a lie but truth will find its way. Here they needed to reward people faith, otherwise Gotham would have fallen, Harvey needed to be the hero. When he says:
- Sometimes people deserve more
I think he means that in this case telling the truth would have been easy for him, for Gordon even fair to be honest… but it would have destroyed everything.
It's poetry in motion
@@GoodCompany39 its like poetry, it rhymes
This isn't just a great superhero ending. This is one of the greatest endings in the history of film IMO.
I guess Harvey was right: someone really did live long enough to become the villain.
@@eca3211 STOP POSTING THIS CRAP!!!!!!!!
I'm a big marvel fan. And the MCU has so many heroes that I could watch all day. But what makes The Dark Knight so incredible, is that it studies the superhero mythology very closely. I believe it was robbed at the Oscars for not winning the best picture award. Cause this is a masterpiece.
That is why i love DC more. Because it feels like mythology. Ordinary humans that become extraordinary. Humans becoming and fighting gods. Titans. Can’t feel that with marvel except with thanos.
When I first saw this movie, I was disappointed it was over. I wanted it to go on forever. Its unfair to compare this movie to other superhero/Batman films, because anyone who watched this movie will tell you it transcended every expectation they ever had when it came to cinema. One of the greatest films ever made, and the greatest since the turn of the millennium.
"Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now," what a line
This is why Batman is the greatest superhero. He puts himlsef before others without any hesitation. He does this all without having powers and just with heart.
The greatest scene in cinema history.
"I'm not a hero. Not like Dent." That's Batman. He underestimates his own worth and the inspiration he provides. He believes Superman is that symbol, but he is too
Batman doesn't see himself as a Superman kind of hero. He is seeing himself as a person who is ready to lose everything to do what is best for everyone.
I don't care what people say he's the best Batman ever
W comment

Ikr. Sure Kevin Conroy and Benfleck and Keaton were more comic accurate but Bale is just so badass.
@@DragonshotProductions I mean this was never supposed to be a comic accurate Batman, and that's what I love so much about it.
the dark knight will forever be my favourite superhero movie ever, watch it more than 10 time and still astonished every single time watching it.
exactly aot fan
same!
50 time bro ❤️
2:39 "Sometimes the truth isn't good enough, sometimes people deserve to have their faith rewarded"
Batman says that as Alfred burns Rachel's letter, what a powerful message.
This one scene alone was better than all of The Batman
I remember seeing Batman struggling to run , my friends were all feeling sad for him , when this film ended there was a symphony of applause.I remember waiting in ticket area , we could hear people clapping , I was like okay it's really good.I was blown away.2008 what a year.
Its cuz he was half dead. Look what he accomplished in last 20 min of that film. Then limps off into the night with Gordon’s kid pleading to him. Incredible film making.
3:44 I love this sound after Gordon said they will hunt Batman. It draws you in and makes you feel like the hunt has just begun.
Possibly one of the most epic endings to a movie ever made.
The beat part, the kid knew batman was good. Was worried about him
16 years passed! Goosebumps and tears whenever I watch this. The most beautiful ending in the whole movies ever! I left the theater in 2008 feeling shocked and emotional, never had an experience close to that film since. The entire theater clapped after the movie ended and then the title appear made the crowd go even wilder
This was a 10/10 movie, perfect movie in every way. The trilogy I would say as a whole is a 9/10, dark knight is just on a different level in every way.
Even though the people of Gotham now looked at Batman as the villain, he becomes a hero by doing the right thing for those people. Just amazing writing!
I've might have seen this movie a dozen times and I still can't watch this without getting chills.
The Dark Knight is clearly to this day the greatest hero movie ever made, hands down brothers and sisters
No superhero movie ending can ever touch this. Greatest ending to a superhero movie, EVER.
So we'll hunt him "drums hit". I get chills EVERY time.
What always got me during Dent’s eulogy was that Gordon was talking about Batman… “not the hero we deserved but the hero we needed, nothing less than a knight, shining”
"A Dark Knight"
GooseBumps every damn time
No, Batman is not a villain. Batman is a hero.
At the end of the movie "The Dark Knight", it was sad. The best of Christopher Nolan.
in reality, he is because he makes enemies but in Gotham, he's always the hero no matter what because Gotham is born to be in chaos and chaos was responsible to make the enemy

even compared to the The Batman(2022?)
@@johnnymanning2952 I haven’t seen the Batman and I really have no desire to see it you have to realize one thing there will be nobody and I mean nobody that will top heath ledger‘s performance as the joker. Forget comic book movies people will be talking about his portrayal of the joker 20 years from now. And a hero is only as good as The villain and nobody I’ll top ledger on that. One last thing the problem with WB is there’s a lot of other characters that they don’t invest in as far as development goes this will be the third reboot of Batman in 15 years and that’s why marvel will continue Outperform them in movies and as far as making money it’s not even close I’m a Batman and Superman fan but there’s more to the DC universe than those two
@@romcapprotti7477 lmao what's funny is we are still on the same page ledger's performance, Aarons underused and underrated two-face and bale's acting like "why did I lose everything?" "because you were the best of us"very deep as the joker who has a point to prove also the realism is amazing

Watched it over and over again… feels like a thousand times now. Still gives me the goosebumps. Absolute masterpiece.
This movie is genuinely one of the greatest movies ever made. It's not only Superhero movies but this movie certainly breaks the barrier.
Nolan's endings are perfection❤
Kudos to Christian Bale for his appearance, but now having lost the legendary Kevin Conroy (and somehow this video popped up all of a sudden in my notification) just brings a tear to my eye. That ending..hoo boy. Outstanding.
This ending is epic. I watched this movie as a kid, as a teenager, as an adult. The more I watch, the more I get inspired. Thats the power of DC, batman, the legend, the myth.
I get chills every time with the music and Gordon says the "He’s a silent guardian. A watchful protector. A dark knight." CREDITS with the music. SUCH A GOOD MOVIE
Every time this movie plays in theaters. People give it a standing ovation. I’ve never seen that for a super hero movie. I remember when it came out 07-08 I went to watch it at least 3 times.
"Because sometimes, the truth isn't good enough."
*Alfred burns the letter from Rachel*
"Sometimes, people deserve to have their faith rewarded."
*Lucius watches as the command keyed to his name destroys the monitors*
It never really occurred to me back then just how fitting those words actually were to the characters shown while they were spoken. God, I love this movie.
Yeah it was genius ❤❤
The visual storytelling is beautiful
No Matter How Many We Watch Everytime Feels 1st Time. Chills, This Trilogy Will Remain As The Greatest Batman Trilogy Of All Time.. Hail Nolan
3:18 From here I know I'm gonna be a Batman Fan till my last breath 🦇❤️
That line is so true man "you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain."
The theater went nuts with this ending. I have to say, this is the only time I can recall smiling for two-plus hours at what I was watching. Such a great movie.
"I'm whatever Gotham needs me to be."
How noble indeed.
1000 batman movies may come but this will be the best movie ever.........................
*Bale's going to play a villain in Thor: Love and Thunder, so he did live long enough too see himself become the villain!!*
You must be Nolan in disguise 🤔
He is a customisable character
The bigger news is... Bale is soon playing Joker opp. Parkinson.
@@SandeepJShridhar What ??🙄
“ you’ll condem me, set the dogs on me. Cause that’s what needs to happen because sometimes the truth isn’t good enough, sometimes people deserve more. Sometimes people deserve to have their faint rewarded” I find this a very applicable set of words for life
There is no finer ending to a movie anywhere.
The best movie ending I've ever seen. It still gives me chills all these years later!
15 years later still a brilliant ending
Batman taking all the blame at the end gives me a goosebump. Sometimes you have to lie for the betterment of the future's safety.
This movie along with the Lord of the Rings and original Star Wars sticks with you way after you first watch it. I remember re-watching this movie plenty of times that summer and buying the Soundtrack and listening to it all the time. There have been no other movies that have done that for me since.
Instant Classic!!! These guys set the bar incredibly high, nobody has come close to the audacity and vision Nolan put into the film, not to mention the incredible score by hans Zimmer and the terrific performances of the entire cast( with Heath being above them all) Bale personifies the symbol of Batman with the character and determination of a true dark knight, bravo!!!
I watched The Batman, it was great movie but TDK still the best
Batman & Captain America will always have a special place in my heart.
Imagine being that kid and your dad casually drop you the best dialogue of all time.
Still sends a shiver down the spine this scene!!! No other super hero film ending comes close to the sacrifice Batman makes. A true masterpiece
To this day, no other batman film has topped this masterpiece in my opinion.
One of the best if not THE BEST endings ever. And the music just goes above and beyond it’s SOOO GOOOOD. 🤩
Best superhero movie of all times, one of the only ones I saw multiple times in theatre....
This movie doens't compare to endgame's hype, but the mcu was built up over a decade while this was only a trilogy. To this day still one of the greatest films. I would rank this trilogy better than the MCU
Sorry the dark Knight is just on another level to MCU
Jimmy: Dad? Dad, is he okay?
(Gordon prepares to call in paramedics when Batman regains consciousness)
Gordon: Thank you.
Batman: You don’t have to thank me.
Gordon: Yes I do.
(Batman and Gordon both look at Two-Face’s corpse)
Gordon: The Joker won. Harvey’s prosecution and everything he fought for… undone. Whatever chance you get for fixing our city dies with Harvey’s reputation. We bet it all on him. The Joker took the best of us and tore him down. People will lose hope.
Batman: They won’t. They must never know what he did.
Gordon: Five dead. Two of them cops. You can’t sweep that-
Batman: No. But the Joker cannot win. Gotham needs its true hero.
(Batman turns Two-Face’s head on his good side)
Gordon: No…
Batman: You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain. I can do those things. Because I’m not a hero. Not like Dent. I killed those people. That’s what I can be.
Gordon: No, no, you can’t! You’re not!
Batman: I’m whatever Gotham needs me to be. Call it in.
(Gordon: A hero, not the hero we deserve, but the hero we needed. Nothing less than a knight, shining.)
(Gordon smashes the Bat-Signal with an axe)
Gordon: They’ll hunt you.
Batman: You’ll hunt me. You’ll condemn me. Set the dogs on me. Because that what needs to happen. Because sometimes… truth isn’t good enough. Sometimes people deserve more.
(Alfred burns Rachel’s note to Bruce)
(Lucius activates the self-destruct system)
Batman: Sometimes people deserve to have their faith rewarded.
(Batman leaves)
Jimmy: Batman. Batman! Why is he running, Dad?
Gordon: Because we have to chase him.
Cop: Okay, we’re going in! Go! Go! Move!
(Cops move in with their guns and dogs)
