Famous Quotes & Sayings

'Joker' was a violent, dark, and brutal book, so I wanted to do something a little less heavy. I played around with the idea of a children's book, and that eventually became 'Noel.' And I just kept finding these parallels between things I could do with Batman and Charles Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol.'

We made a lot of arrests and back then they were very popular on TV -- Batman and Robin,

Michael Redhill

Like a lot of people, I've often wondered what else I might have been. When I was younger, but even after I was a child, I thought Batman was the whole package. Smart, calculating, pragmatic. Depressed, but in a way women found hot. Tragic at his core and struggling with his demons while trying to save the world.

Geoff Johns

I am always a sucker for the underdogs. I love Batman and Superman, but when it comes to the guys who don't stand in the front of the line, Aquaman is one of the key guys for me. He's so much fun to work on.

Wolfgang Petersen

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.

Ansel Elgort

I want to play everything. I want to be like Christian Bale: I want to be able to be Batman and then, like, his character in 'The Fighter.' That is what is so impressive about really good actors, that they can be character actors and leading men at the same time.

Batman is positive, but I believe that, in the first couple of years, he's going to find an increasingly negative response from society, because the truth is that, when you have a powerful, negative city like Gotham, it didn't become corrupt by accident, and those entrenched people are going to respond very vigorously,

Batman and Robin. We don't think about the NBA.

Christopher Nolan

I have always been a big fan of the character and am more of a moviegoer than a comic book guy. There is always something about the character of Batman that is very elemental. There is a great, powerful myth to the character and romantic element...that draws from a lot of literary sources.

We'll have four times as many characters (up to 180 employees playing characters) as we had before. A child shaking hands with Batman is just as valuable (to the child) as getting a ride on one of these coasters.

Christopher Nolan

I wouldn't consider doing a Batman sequel unless I felt like it could be a great film, a film even better than the one we already made. But I certainly couldn't do another one on such a large scale right after having finished this one. I'm very glad to be doing something completely different.

Jesse McCartney

I grew up as a huge comic fan and a huge Batman & Robin fan. I watched all the TV shows, went to all the movies - I even had the lunch box; man, I was in!

We can't do a modern Batman continually beating up thugs in zoot suits with tommy guns in violin cases. The game has to move on. It has to feel relevant.

Shaun Alexander

I went from not knowing who I am -- Batman or Robin? -- to a guy who was healthy enough to play. I got knocked out, but it wasn't about me. It's about us, a team. We're willing to pick up our falling brother.

Shaun Alexander

I went from not knowing if I am Batman or Robin, to feeling pretty good at the end of the game, to every day getting better in my head. And this game was really good.

Zack Snyder

Twenty years ago my parents wouldn't know who the X-Men were, and now everybody knows that stuff. It means that deconstruction of the superhero is something you can do. All those movies have led to a point where we can finally have 'Watchmen' with a Superman character who doesn't want to save the world and a Batman who has trouble in bed.

Bringing Batman and Spawn together was a win-win for everyone. The chance to work with Todd and his team on creating this crossover is exciting for us and I'm looking forward to seeing the final product, as I'm sure many fans are.

Charles Roven

Scooby-Doo is an icon, just like Batman is an icon, ... We will do another at some point, I'm sure, but nothing is in the works. We have had good successful releases, but for the moment we need to give it a break.

Kevin Smith

Read the comics, which are probably far better than the film would be if I was involved. Otherwise, my version of Batman would be like him standing around talking for two weeks and not getting anything done. The Bat-A-Rang would never leave the utility belt. It would just be chatting.

Christian Bale

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

David Mazouz

I've always been a huge fan of the Batman universe and Batman, since I was born really. I think the reasoning for that is because he doesn't have a superpower - he has no special ability. He's just a regular person, a regular human.

Jack McDevitt

Thanks to the comic book publishers. Batman and Captain Marvel were responsible for my learning to read at least a year before I showed up at school. They got me interested in writing. Started my first novel at about eight. The title: 'The Canals of Mars.'

I've seen all the Batman movies in the theater opening weekend. I was a big Batman fan, definitely.

Kieran Culkin

I've been watching a lot of Jack Nicholson's stuff because I realized the only things I'd seen him in were Batman and Mars Attacks.

Jim Lee

I like having pairs of characters to play off each other. I love drawing Batman, but he's more fun with Robin. Batman charges ahead, Robin jumps off the walls. It's fun showing that contrast.

Andrew Kreisberg

It's truly an honor to get to write Superman and Batman and Wonder Woman and all those great people, but when you can take something that's not well thought of and make it something that people do think highly of, that's much more gratifying, I think.

Ray Park

I'm a big Batman fan; to be honest, to be a part of any superhero movie would really fulfill all of my childhood fantasies. If I could get beaten up by Batman, and just be part of the franchise, even getting kicked through a window would be great!

Jack Nicholson

You can call me Joker. And as you can see, I'm a lot happier.

David Cronenberg

I remember somebody saying to Joel Schumacher about one of his Batman movies, 'Isn't that over the top?' ... And he said, 'Well, nobody pays to see under the top.' I wish I could just say that. But I think you learn something when you go to extremes.

I live in a small apartment. There's only so much Batman memorabilia a guy can hang on to in New York City.
