Batman Begins Quote
Alfred Pennyworth : Are you coming back to Gotham for long, sir?
Bruce Wayne : As long as it takes. I'm gonna show the people of Gotham their city doesn't belong to the criminals and the corrupt.
Alfred Pennyworth : In the depression, your father nearly bankrupted Wayne Enterprises combating poverty. He believed that his example could inspire the wealthy of Gotham to save their city.
Bruce Wayne : Did it?
Alfred Pennyworth : In a way. Their murders shocked the wealthy and the powerful into action.
Bruce Wayne : People need dramatic examples to shake them out of apathy and I can't do that as Bruce Wayne, as a man I'm flesh and blood I can be ignored I can be destroyed but as a symbol, as a symbol I can be incorruptible, I can be everlasting.
Alfred Pennyworth : What symbol?
Bruce Wayne : Something elemental, something terrifying.
Alfred Pennyworth : I assume that as you're taking on the underworld, this symbol is a persona to protect those you care about from reprisals.
Bruce Wayne : You thinking about Rachel?
Alfred Pennyworth : Actually, sir, I was thinking of myself.
