You preach to me about letting the past go, and yet you yourself won't. a gullible ignorant instrument of that system. and you.you're their tool.you've become a joke. And look at us now.I've become a political liability, an overcapable embarrassment to a self-serving, malicious, incompetent system, themselves an embarrassment. When people appreciated the efforts of the selfless. inspiring people to be better than what they are. Want to know something, Clark? You were right.It's time you remember what it is to bleed. It's way past time you learned what it means to be a man. You gotten far too used to being a god, Clark.Tonight, you'll rely on your fists- and your brains. In time, If you prove yourselves to me, demonstrate if you're deserving, worthy to stand by my side, I'll see fit to teach them to you. (snaps the gun's butt off where it connects to the chamber, and draws three batarangs nested between his fingers) But my weapons? They are quiet - precise.

This loud, clumsy, stupid thing- This is the weapon of the enemy. And we won't do it- (holds up rifle) -using this.

Tonight, if you are indeed with me, if you all mean it, then together, we restore law & order to Gotham City.

It's a breeding ground for insects and rodents. Since my own atoms aren't bouncing around the stratosphere - since Gotham City squats like a great black graveyard - since Wayne Manor's emergency generator hasn't kicked in - and Robin's watch has stopped - I'll assume Russia has taken the lead in the arms race.

It is designed to cause maximum damage to the environment - all the while sparing the industrial sites your friends regard so highly. That, or a special kind of nuke that both sides have been trying to develop. All you need to generate the pulse is the detonation of a few dozen nuclear warheads. Maybe during breaks between police actions, one of your military friends told you what an electromagnetic pulse is.

There's just the sun, and the sky, and him, like he's the only reason it's all here.
