"I need a disguise, he said and I thought he’d finally gone mad with grief, especially those next words…but when I saw what he meant, when I watched how he surrendered himself to an ideal... how he used each ordeal, each HEARTACHE and FAILURE, to be come a better man, in the service of others... what could I do but stand in humble awe? And keep his wounds clean and his uniform tidy and send him safely on his way."
"Grief is the enemy. There's no time for grief. There's no room for grief. Grief turns into acceptance. Forgiveness. Grief forgives what can never be forgiven. Never.... Nothing matters, except the mission"
“I SHALL BECOME A BAT!â€
His parents had died before him and Bruce was powerless to stop it. That single thing more than any other had created the Batman. He had dedicated his life to a mission; what Bruce Wayne suffered that night no one else every would. It was a fool's quest and he knew it, doomed to failure before it had even begun. He could not police a planet, barely police his own city. Yet he did it anyway, night after night, fighting through despair, returning again and again to the battle that consumed him. He did not think of himself as noble, nor even as driven. It was far more complicated, and yet, far simpler than that. He was the Batman. He had no other choice.
Sometimes in life our natural family does not provide us with the nurturing we need. Divorce, illness and death all conspire to rob us of those precious relationships we need so desperately. In his own way, Bruce created a surrogate family to recreate some of what was lost. For a loner, the Batman has done an amazing job filling up the Batcave! His family consists of Alfred Pennyworth, Dick Grayson, Commissioner Gordon, Leslie Thompkins, Tim Drake, Barbara Gordon and many others.The Batman teaches us that when circumstances require it, we can create a family to replace the one that should be there to provide us with the emotional warmth and nourishment we need. In characteristic fashion, the Batman identifies a need - emotional support - and rather than crying about what's missing he constructs a reality for himself to meet that need.Wisdom from the Batcave: How to Live a Super, Heroic, Life By Cary A. Friedman
"And as the sun, that had been too afraid to show its face in this city, started to turn the black into grey, I smiled. Not out of happiness. But because I knew... that one day, I wouldn't have to do this anymore. One day, I could stop fighting. Because one day... I would win. One day, there will be no pain, no loss, no crime. Because of me, because I fight. For you. One day, I will win."
A Death in the Family.
"Of all my failures, you have been my biggest. I take full responsibility for your wayward and self destructive path in life. You were Broken, and I thought I could put the pieces back together. I thought I could do for you what could never be done for Me. Make you WHOLE. What happened to you as a child... the terror, the pain. The Horrors... I gave you an outlet to act out on. For that I apologize... but it's not too late for you to get the proper healing you never received. It's not too late for me to help you. It's time for you to stop what you're doing."
"If only Jason could have reached out to us. Any one of us. He could have saved himself. But you know what? Some people don't want to be saved. Because saving means changing. And changing is always harder than staying the same. It takes courage to face yourself in the mirror and look beyond the reflection. To find the you that you should have been. The you that got derailed by cruel childhood events. Events that took your life's natural trajectory and twisted it. Changing it into something unimaginable ... or even incredible ... giving you the courage to embrace your birthright, your destiny, and finally realize that you are Batman."
Throughout my lifetime I've left pieces of my heart here and there. And now, there's almost barely enough to stay alive. But I force a smile, knowing that my ambition far exceeded my talent.
The recurring theme in the Batman stories is the importance of family, the blessing of parents and children nurturing and loving one another... We mourn lives lost. Including our own....
Me and Madie... we be like Batman and Robin!
This city deserves a better class of criminal... And I'm gonna give it to them!

If you can't respect that your whole perspective is wack Maybe you'll love me when i fade to black..........
No man is an Island , entire of itself ; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind ; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee. - John Donne
The force is with you, young Skywalker, but you are not a Jedi yet Obi-Wan once thought as you do. You don't know the power of the Dark Side...
They told me there was nothing out there, nothing to FEAR . But the night my life almost ended... I caught a glimpse of something... I've looked for it ever since. I went around the world, searched in all the shadows . And there is something out there in the darkness, something terrifying, something that will not stop until it gets revenge... Me .
A conservative is a man with two perfectly good legs who, however, has never learned how to walk forward. -FDR
I am a Christian and a Democrat , that's all. - FDR
"If by a 'Liberal' they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people — their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties — someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a 'Liberal,' then I'm proud to say I'm a 'Liberal.' - JFK
"I like your Christ , I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want; He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters; He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for His name's sake.Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Through the physical, the metaphysical, the delusional and BACK!!
When we were young... we dreamed of this day. This opportunity, this chance... to shine. To prove to the world, to prove to myself... I am a superstar. More than you think, and greater than you heard. And focused my mind. Now, I am all grown up. Today is my day, tonight is my night... I am a champion... These walls hold my degrees and achievements... But my heart carries my Pride.
Perhaps it is good to have a beautiful mind, but an even greater gift is to discover a beautiful heart.
"If the people we love are stolen from us, the way to have them live on is to never stop loving them. Buildings burn, people die, but real love is forever."
Watching John with the machine, it was suddenly so clear. The terminator wouldn't stop, it would never leave him. It would never hurt him or shout at him or get drunk and hit him or say it was too busy to spend time with him. And it would die to protect him. Of all the would-be fathers that came over the years, this thing, this machine, was the only thing that measured up. In an insane world, it was the sanest choice.
Your results:
You are Batman In certain extreme situations, the law is inadequate. In order to shame its inadequacy, it is necessary to act outside the law. To pursue... natural justice . This is not vengeance. Revenge is not a valid motive, it's an emotional response. No. Not vengeance. Punishment.

People once believed that when someone dies, a crow carries their soul to the land of the dead. But sometimes, something so bad happens that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the soul can't rest. Then sometimes, just sometimes, the crow can bring that soul back to put the wrong things right.
