Batman Quotations

I want to be Robin to Bush's Batman.
Dan Quayle

They say I was a bad Batman, that it was my fault, that I buried the franchise. But the truth is, it was a big project. I was pretty intimidated in that world. I did the best I could in the situation I was given.
George Clooney

I used to think I actually was Batman.
Justin Timberlake

'Batman' took 10 months to film, and by the time I stopped working on it, it took a long time before my English accent came out again. I was actually having to try for it.
Christian Bale

There have been many times when you spend a number of months and the finished product is not what you wanted to see. And 'Batman Begins' was what I wanted to see.
Christian Bale

Rather like Batman, I embody the themes of the movie which are the values of family, courage and compassion and a sense of right and wrong, good and bad and justice.
Gary Oldman

I want my weekends off and I want to put my kids to bed. Those are good reasons to want to be in 'Batman 2'.
Gary Oldman

The only time it got really crazy was during 'Batman.' Anywhere I went in the world, people knew who I was. I was being offered these huge films that would have taken my career to a different level, and I decided to put on the brakes. I knew if I continued on that track, I probably wouldn't have gotten married.
Chris O'Donnell

It took them a while to catch on that Batman would be the greatest.
Bob Kane

And I did Batman, too. I did Mr. Freeze. I get more mail for him than anything I've ever done.
Eli Wallach

The only time it got really crazy was during 'Batman.' Anywhere I went in the world, people knew who I was.
Chris O'Donnell

We all wake up in the morning wanting to live our lives the way we know we should. But we usually don't, in small ways. That's what makes a character like Batman so fascinating. He plays out our conflicts on a much larger scale.
Christopher Nolan

Superheroes fill a gap in the pop culture psyche, similar to the role of Greek mythology. There isn't really anything else that does the job in modern terms. For me, Batman is the one that can most clearly be taken seriously.
Christopher Nolan

My book is very wild. But you know during the period of BATMAN, that there were thousands of Batman and Robin costumes sold and these weren't just for kids.
Burt Ward

Much is written about the Batman because he is publicly exposed in print. Very little is known personally about his creator, because I haven't given out that many interviews.
Bob Kane

I don't see on television the kind of blood and guts and body parts blown apart that maybe you're referring to, but it certainly is in that BATMAN feature and I found it very offensive.
Burt Ward

At home it's all Batman and Star Wars and they do gang up on me. Sometimes I don't want to dress up as Darth Vader or play train sets, so I'll go out for a drink with the girls.
Sadie Frost

We work in an environment where your options are to do, you know, Batman 10, so when you get to do a movie that's a really great film like this, people really step up to the plate and enjoy it.
James Woods

Our characters were antiseptic but we weren't. And if you remember what we did on BATMAN, as the scripts were written very funny, we played them very straight.
Burt Ward

If you ever want to get the facts straight about me or the Batman, please write to the original source, myself, for the truth, instead of second guessing.
Bob Kane

Warner Bros offered me the next Batman, and the only reason that I didn't do it was because of The Saint.
Val Kilmer

If Bill Finger created Batman, where is Bill Finger's byline on my strip? It is conspicuous by its absence.
Bob Kane

I intend to explode the myths about myself and get down to the real truth about the legend that is Batman.
Bob Kane

We like Batman - we understand him, we suffer with him. On the other hand, we want to be Superman. But they're conflicting philosophies. Let's bring them together in one movie and see how we, as an audience, wrestle with our inner demons.
Wolfgang Petersen

I am planning a one-man art show of original Batman oil paintings that I will show in New York City.
Bob Kane

People fantasize about being a hero and helping someone in trouble. Batman is that fantasy realized-not just for Bruce Wayne, but for the audience. Inwardly, Bruce Wayne is still an adolescent watching his parents being murdered. That will never leave him. And people really relate to that.
Kevin Conroy

How can an article about me or the Batman be the true story when I am not consulted or interviewed?
Bob Kane

I was involved with the Batman. There are two sides to every story. Now you've heard my side.
Bob Kane

Batman has been acknowledged as a legend in my lifetime.
Bob Kane

Batman and Superman are very different characters but they're both iconic and elemental. Finding the right story for them both is the key.
Christopher Nolan
