Character Quotes

Bruce Wayne: You know that day that you once told me about, when Gotham would no longer need Batman? It’s coming.

[Rachel discovers Dent's coin is two-faced]
Rachel Dawes: [smiling sardonically] You make your own luck…

Rachel Dawes: Bruce… if you turn yourself in, they’re not gonna let us be together.
