在《蝙蝠侠2：黑暗骑士》中，蝙蝠侠（布鲁斯·韦恩）在影片的最后与戈登警长和詹姆斯·戈登（哈维·丹特）的对话中，有以下几句关键的话：
1. "I want you to remember Clark," he says, "in all the years to come. In all your private moments. In all the years to come, my hand at your throat. I want you to remember, the one man who beat you."
2. "But the Joker cannot win. Gotham needs its true hero."
3. "You either die a hero... or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."
4. "I can do those things... because I'm not a hero, not like Dent. I killed those people. That's what I can be."
5. "I'm whatever Gotham needs me to be. Call it in."
这些对话体现了蝙蝠侠在影片中的内心挣扎和他对自身角色的认识。他最终选择成为高谭市需要的英雄，即使这意味着他必须承担巨大的代价。
