Quotes
-
Barbara Gordon : This is important. I won't be easy for you to hear... but it's about a job I took on recently.
Commissioner James Gordon : Barbara, please. Sweetheart, you're capable of making your own decisions. You don't need me to approve or even acknowledge them. And in this case, I can't. All you need to know is I love you. All of you.
[kisses her]
Commissioner James Gordon : And that is all I have to say on the subject.
[Gives her a wink]
Barbara Gordon : Daddy...
[Hugs him]
-
Bruce Wayne : [Picking up the phone] Yes?
Commissioner James Gordon : Wayne.
Bruce Wayne : Commissioner? What can I do for you?
Commissioner James Gordon : Drop the act. Ten minutes on Barbara's computer told me everything. Like a fool I allowed you to run wild on your private crusade. A psychotic misfit playing masked hero. Now I've paid for it with Barbara's life.
Bruce Wayne : Jim, believe me. I know how you feel.
Commissioner James Gordon : You can't.
Bruce Wayne : You know how I lost my parents. The only way I could hold on to my sanity was to take matters into my own hands.
Commissioner James Gordon : That makes us even.
-
Commissioner James Gordon : There's no place to run, Wayne.
Bane : Good, I want to finish him slowly.
[Gordon shoots a warning shot near Bane's feet]
Commissioner James Gordon : I want him alive! Alive, to rot away in Arkham. Surrounded by the monsters he's created.
Bane : Poetic, but no.
[lunges at Gordon and swats the gun away]
Commissioner James Gordon : We had a deal!
Bane : Thought about it. Didn't work for me.
[Knocks Gordon over the edge, leaving him dangling for life]
Bane : Please, give your dear Barbara a kiss from me.
-
Det. Harvey Bullock : Seal the building! No one gets in or out! I want SWAT teams in place, helicopter backup!
Commissioner James Gordon : Harvey, we both know we'll never catch him. Not that way.
Det. Harvey Bullock : So what do we do?
Commissioner James Gordon : What I should've done years ago.
-
Mayor Hamilton Hill : I'm sorry, Jim. That's the way it has to be.
Det. Harvey Bullock : Commish?
Commissioner James Gordon : I can either hand my badge in now or wait until the grand jury roasts me. Either way, I lose Batman.
-
Batman : Jim...
Commissioner James Gordon : How could you? I worked with you, trusted you... And you never told me?
[Batman looks down]
Commissioner James Gordon : She was my daughter. My daughter!
[Batman goes to console him, but is stopped at gun point by Bollock]
Det. Harvey Bullock : That's as far as you go, murderer.
-
Commissioner James Gordon : Mmm, mmm! Keep cooking like that, you'll have me looking like Harvey Bullock.
Barbara Gordon : Dinner wasn't the only reason I wanted to see you tonight.
Commissioner James Gordon : Oh?
Barbara Gordon : Dad, have a seat.
Commissioner James Gordon : Uh-oh.
-
Commissioner James Gordon : Oh, no, Wayne. No vanishing act this time.
Alfred Pennyworth : [jumping on him as a distraction] No!
Commissioner James Gordon : Arggh!
Batman : Alfred.
Alfred Pennyworth : Keep going, sir. Keep going!
Det. Harvey Bullock : Knock it off, Jeeves. I'm warnin' ya!
-
Mayor Hamilton Hill : My heart goes out to you, Jim, believe me. If it had been my child...
Commissioner James Gordon : It wasn't.
Mayor Hamilton Hill : No. And while I feel for your loss, you have to realize how bad this makes us look. Yes, Batman has helped the city, but he still operates outside the law. We've looked the other way before, but now that everyone knows your daughter was part of his team...
Commissioner James Gordon : What are you saying?
Mayor Hamilton Hill : The D.A.'s office wants a full investigation. They want you to step down.
