Batman: You're not brave... men are brave. You say that you want to help people, but you can't feel their pain... their mortality... It's time you learn what it means to be a man.
Martha Kent: Be their hero, Clark. Be their angel, be their monument, be anything they need you to be... or be none of it. You don't owe this world a thing. You never did.
Diana Prince: A hundred years ago I walked away from mankind; from a century of horrors... Men made a world where standing together is impossible.
Bruce Wayne: Men are still good. We fight, we kill, we betray one another, but we can rebuild. We can do better. We will. We have to.
[from trailer]
Batman: Twenty years in Gotham. How many good guys are left? How many stayed that way? He has the power to wipe out the entire human race. I have to destroy him.
Lex Luthor: If man won't kill God, the Devil will do it!
Lex Luthor: The Red Capes are coming! The Red Capes are coming!
[Doomsday jumps in front of the Batwing]
Batman: Oh, shit.
[first lines]
Batman: There was a time above... a time before... there were perfect things... diamond absolutes. But things fall... things on earth. And what falls... is fallen. In the dream, it took me to the light. A beautiful lie.
Diana Prince: [to Bruce Wayne] You know, it's true what they say about little boys: born with no natural inclination to share.
Bruce Wayne: Excuse me, miss. The other night you took something that doesn't belong to you. Stealing's not polite.
Diana Prince: Is it stealing if you steal from another thief?
Lex Luthor: Do you know the oldest lie in America, Senator? Can I call you June?
Senator Finch: You can call me whatever you like. Take a bucket of piss and call it Granny's Peach Tea; take a weapon of assassination and call it deterrence. You won't fool a fly or me. I'm not gonna drink it.
Clark Kent: It's like a one man reign of terror. This bat vigilante has been consistently targeting the port and the adjacent projects and tenements, and as far as I can tell the cops are actually helping him.
Perry White: 'Crime Wave in Gotham'! Other breaking news: 'Water, wet'!
Lex Luthor: Do you know the oldest lie in America, Senator? It's that power can be innocent.
[Superman enters from the sky]
Batman: Well, here I am!
Lex Luthor: [giving speech] Books are knowledge and knowledge is power, and I am... no. Um, no. What am I? What was I saying? The bittersweet pain among men is having knowledge with no power because... because that is *paradoxical* and, um... thank you for coming.
Alfred: Master Wayne, since the age of seven you've been into the art of deception like Mozart to the harpsichord, but you've never been too hot at lying to me.
