Yet we’re linked, you and I. Like comedy and tragedy. Two sides, same coin.

Now, I see the funny side. Now I’m always smiling.

You see, I’m not a monster. I’m just ahead of the curve.

This city deserves a better class of criminal. And I’m gonna give it to them.

Not clown — Joker.

What doesn’t kill you simply makes you stranger!

It’s not about the money, it’s about sending a message. Everything burns!

To them, you’re just a freak, like me! They need you right now, but when they don’t, they’ll cast you out, like a leper!

When they treat you like a joke, leave them like it’s funny.

When you bring me out, can you introduce me as Joker?

I have given a name to my pain, and it is Batman.

If you have to explain a joke, there is no joke!

I am not someone who is loved. I’m an idea. A state of mind.
