[from teaser] Bruce Wayne: They told me there was nothing out there, nothing to

fear. But the night my parents were murdered I caught a glimpse of something. I've looked for it ever since. I went around the world, searched in all the shadows. And there is something out there in the darkness, something terrifying, something that will not stop until it gets revenge... Me.

Henri Ducard: Only a cynical man would call what these people have "lives," Wayne. Crime. Despair.

This is not how man was supposed to live. The League of Shadows has been a check against human corruption for thousands of years... We sacked Rome. Loaded trade ships with plague rats. Burned London to the ground. Every time a civilization reaches the pinnacle of its decadence... We Return to restore the balance.

Bruce Wayne: That man had a gun! Henri Ducard: Would that have stopped you? Bruce Wayne: I've had training! Henri Ducard: The training is nothing! The will is everything!

Alfred Pennyworth: Are you coming back to Gotham for long, sir?

Bruce Wayne: As long as it takes. I'm gonna show the people of Gotham that their city doesn't belong to the criminals and the corrupt. Alfred Pennyworth: In the depression, your father nearly bankrupted Wayne Enterprises combating poverty. He believed his example could inspire the wealthy of Gotham to save their city. Bruce Wayne: Did it? Alfred Pennyworth: In a way. Their murders shocked the wealthy and the powerful into action. Bruce Wayne: People need dramatic examples to shake them out of apathy and I can't do that as Bruce Wayne, 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.

Alfred Pennyworth: What symbol? Bruce Wayne: Something elemental, something terrifying. Alfred Pennyworth: I assume that as you're taking on the underworld, this symbol is a persona to protect those you care about from reprisals. Bruce Wayne: You thinking about Rachel?

Bruce Wayne: This place is a mausoleum. If I had my will, I would tear it down brick by brick. Alfred Pennyworth: This house, Master Wayne, was shelter to six generations of your family. Bruce Wayne: Why do you give a damn, Alfred? It's not your family. Alfred Pennyworth: I give a damn because a good man once made me responsible for what was most precious to him in the whole world.
