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.
It’s not who you are underneath, it’s what you do that defines you.

Criminals thrive on the indulgence of society’s understanding.
Bats frighten me. It’s time my enemies share my dread.[Alfred Pennyworth: Why bats, Master Wayne?]
