Batman Returns 1992
Research tells us that it’s people like mayors that have hands.
Jen
Actually, this is all just a bad dream. You’re at home, in bed, heavily sedated, resting comfortably, dying from the carcinogens you personally spewed in a lifetime of profiteering. Tragic irony or poetic justice, you tell me.
The Penguin
Ah, the direct approach. I admire that from a man with a mask.
The Penguin
The heat is getting to me, I’ll kill you momentarily.
The Penguin
Touring the riot scene. Gravely assessing the devastation. Upstanding mayor stuff.
The Penguin
Why is there always somebody that brings eggs and tomatoes to a speech?
The Penguin
You’re just jealous because I’m a genuine freak and you have to wear a mask.
The Penguin
Batman Begins 2005
I won’t kill you, but I don’t have to save you.
Bruce Wayne
My anger outweighs my guilt.
Bruce Wayne
Men fear most what they cannot see.
Henri Ducard
You must become more than just a man in the mind of your opponent.
Henri Ducard
Superman Returns 2006
I just want to bring fire to the people, and I want my cut.
Lex Luthor
How many “f’s” in “catastrophic”?
Lois Lane
Lois, Pulitzer Prizes are like Academy Awards, nobody remembers what you got one for, just that you got one.
Perry White
I hope this hasn’t put you off of flying. Statistically speaking, it’s still the safest way to travel.

Batman
I have given a name to my pain, and it is Batman.
Joker
It's me, suger bums.
Joker
Never rub another man's rhubarb.
Joker
You know what they say? They say he drinks blood. They say he can't be killed.
Knox
Don't kill me, man - don't kill me!
Mugger
I just gotta know, are we going to try to love each other?
Vicki Vale
What do you want?
Vicki Vale
You're insane!
Vicki Vale
Superman
Some people can read War and Peace and come away thinking it’s a simple adventure story. Others can read the ingredients on a chewing gum wrapper and unlock the secrets of the universe.
Lex Luthor
This is Lex Luthor. Only one thing alive with less than four legs can hear this frequency, Superman, and that's you.
Lex Luthor
Now listen to me, I tell you boys and girls - whichever one of you gets it out... is going to wind up with the single most important interview since... God talked to Moses!
Perry White
