Over the centuries we tried to break the cycle of crime and violence that plagues Gotham, only for it to start up again. And do you know why it does? People are afraid, and fear breeds hopelessness.
I'm supposed to believe you care about the people of Gotham?
I do. Very much. Which is where you come in. Gotham needs something I believe only you can provide.
What?
A protector, Bruce.
I can't protect Gotham, not all by myself. No one can.
Perhaps. But if you were to become a symbol, a symbol against fear, then Gotham can be reborn.
