The All New Batman the Brave & the Bold: Issue 1

Because our styles are so different, people assume we wouldn’t get along. But they’re missing the point. When I’m with someone like Green Arrow, we’re so similar that we feel like we have to compete. But Superman and I have different strengths.  We complement each other.

Bruce Wayne in The Batman Strikes! Issue 8: Firefall

Please, sir, the firemen were the least of your problems. You barely got out of there alive.

Details, details.

And he’s so focused on saving everyone else, he forgets himself. He needs someone to remember.

Batman (2016) Issue 23

What?

No, no, this isn’t over. No, you have to explain it to me again.

You have to tell me-- tell me my mother and father are falling back into life!

Bruce Wayne in The Batman Strikes! Issue 6: The Cat’s Prize

You and I are a lot alike. Working on the perimeters. Alone.  It doesn’t have to be that way, you know.

Bruce Wayne in Batman Damned:Issue 2

I always thought-- call me a romantic... Or maybe just hopeless-- That what had to be broken to make a party... Was a heart.

Bruce Wayne in Batman: Damned

Is FAILURE part of his DNA? See, the world has utterly FAILED him. Doesn’t it stand to reason that his standard is so high that he can’t help but FAIL himself? To be so relentlessly driven that FAILURE is met violently, well, it must be tiring. Even for YOU. You’re human after all. Only the DEAD don’t sleep.

Will you cry for me ?

Bruce Wayne in The Brave & The Bold: Batman & Wonder Woman Chapter 1 - Summonings

I was wrong! About the terror! I was wrong!

But still, you must-- sometimes,maybe-- wish it were... different? I do.

Bruce Wayne in The Death of The Family (1st Issue)

Under your bed, in the wire netting.  Sometimes I lie under there at night and listen to you sleep. The sad things you say... How I just want to reach my arms up and... HAHAHA HAHA!

Is it true? He’s back?

Green Arrow || Zero Year

I told you to back off! Yeah, really looked like you had it under control. I don’t need some amateur running around getting himself killed! Amateur?! I just saved your ass!

This is my city.

You hurt a friend of mine.     I hurt lots of people Not him. Never again.          Who is this guy? You know what today is?      Huh?           The date! October 9th... Your son’s birthday.       Is... that what this is about? Aden? You know how lucky you are?! You’re his father! You’re supposed to protect him...

No... These are intended...

Bruce Wayne in Batman: Year One Chapter Four: Friend in Need

You can never escape me. Bullets don’t harm me. Nothing harms me. But I know pain. I know pain Sometimes I share it. With someone like you.

Master Bruce-- I’ve just come across a fascinating piece in The Times. Concerns the effects of lack of sleep among the marginally sane... “Marked increase in paranoia”... hmm... “tendency toward aberrant, even violent behavior” ...  Off again, Sir? Shall I fetch your tights?

Bruce Wayne in Batman: Year One Chapter Three: Black Dawn

get away from the fire --  that old man-- doesn’t have a chance-- can’t help him-- can’t help him-- screaming-- can’t help him oh no--

...The air is sharp and cold and hard to breathe-- it’s good to be alive-- I don’t deserve to be alive.

Ladies. Gentlemen. You have eaten well.  You’ve eaten Gotham’s wealth. It’s spirit.  Your feast is nearly over. 

From this moment on -- -- None of you are safe.

No-- I’m no killer
