Batman

Even after everything you've done, I would have saved you.

— Batman: Arkham City  ·  2011

Behind the line

What it means

Our interpretation.

Batman tells the Joker that mercy would still have been possible despite what he has done. The statement holds to a principle at a moment when revenge might seem easier. This faithful excerpt belongs to Arkham City’s ending; it does not combine Batman’s words with the Joker’s reply.
