What are you seeking ?

I seek...

...the means to fight injustice.

To turn fear...

...against those who prey on the fearful.

Do you still feel responsible for your parents' death ?

My anger outweighs my guilt.

Good people like your parents, who'll stand against injustice, they're gone.

What chance does Gotham have when the good people do nothing ?

People need dramatic examples to shake them out of apathy.

I can't do that as Bruce Wayne.

As a man...

...I'm flesh and blood, I can be ignored, destroyed.

As a symbol, I can be incorruptible.

I can be everlasting.

What symbol ?

Something elemental... ...something terrifying.

molecules realign, it becomes rigid.

Does it come in Black ?

You're a good cop. One of the few.

What do you want ?

Get rid of all traces

Hell, who are you ?

I'm Batman

This guy did deliver us one of the city's biggest crime lords.

No one takes the law into their own hands in my city.

Who are you ?

Someone like you. Someone who'll rattle the cages.

Can't change the world on your own.

Would you like to see my mask ?

He is here...The Batman

There is nothing to fear

I will go back to Gotham and I will fight

You could die. At least tell me your name.

- I swear to God ! - Swear to me !

Gotham must be destroyed

Gotham isn't beyond saving.

What do we fall, sir ?

I won't kill you...

...but I don't have to save you.

No matches on prints, DNA, dental...

...Clothing is custom, no labels. Nothing in his pockets but knives and lint.

The public likes you.

That's the only reason that this might fly.

But that means it's on you.

They're all gonna come after you now,

and not just the Mob.

Politicians, journalists, cops.

Anyone whose wallet's about to get lighter.

Let's wind the clocks back a year.

These cops and lawyers wouldn't dare cross any of you.

Whoever the Batman is, he doesn't wanna do this for the rest of his life.

Batman is looking for someone to take up his mantle.

I knew the Mob wouldn't go down easily but this is different. They crossed a line.

You want order in Gotham...

... Batman must take off his mask and turn himself in.

Every day he doesn't, people will die. Starting tonight.

You wanted me. Here I am.

You've changed things. Forever.

You honestly think that's gonna keep the Joker from killing people ?

Maybe not. But I have enough blood on my hands.

Where is Harvey Dent ?

I want the Joker !

I dont know anything

Where are they ?

You have nothing !

We have clear shots !

Dent is in there with them. We have to save Dent !

You can't give in.

Some men just wanna watch the world burn.

Does it depress you, commissioner...

...to know just how alone you really are ?

I have to find this men Lucius

Are you telling me that you're gonna protect...the other traitor in Gordon's unit ?

Switch it off, he ain't coming. He doesn't wanna talk to us.

No, today I found out what Batman can't do.

He can't endure this.

- Joker chooses me - Because, you are the best of us

Whatever chance you gave us at fixing our city dies with Harvey's reputation.

The Joker took the best of us and tore him down.

It's not about what I want,

it's about what's fair!

Gotham needs a true hero.

Everyone knows that Wayne's holed up in there with 8-inch nails,

It's very good of you to let me on the ground.

Do you think he's comin' back ?

I don't know.

Hey, rookie ! Lose the helmet. We need faces for camera.

Commissioner Gordon's been shot.

He chased a gunman down into the sewers.

A masked man called Bane.

He needs you

He needs Batman

We take Gotham from the corrupt !

Gotham is yours

Batman must to come back !

Ra's Al Ghul was the League of Shadows and I beat'im.

Bane is just a mercenary.

My powerful... friend might hope to change your mind about leaving.

I had it under control.

I saved your life.

Save yourself.

You don't owe these people any more. You've given them everything.

Choice is yours. Exile... or death !

You don't fear death, you welcome it.

Your punishment must be more severe.

I fear dying in here while my city burns.

Then make the climb.

You see only one end to your journey.

This bomb is a time bomb.

And it will go off in 23 days, regardless of Bane's revolution

or what we, or the outside world, choose to do.

This blocks the remote detonator signal to the bomb.

Get it onto it before sunrise. They might hit the button when it starts.

When what starts ?

War !

So, you came back to die with your city.

No. I came back to stop you.

That's detonation ! It's out over the bay !

It's clear of the city !

"I see a beautiful city and a brilliant people..."

...rising from this abyss."

"I see the lives... for which I lay down my life..."

"peaceful, useful, prosperous and happy."

"It is a far, far better thing that I do..."

"than I have ever done."

"It is a far, far better rest that I go to..."

"than I have ever known."

No one's ever gonna know who saved an entire city.

They know

It was the Batman.
