Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Quotes

Gotham Mourns Bruce Wayne's Death

Lola Chang: Funeral proceedings are underway today for Bruce Wayne, as Gotham City still reels from last week's spectacular revelation that the world-famous billionaire was the Batman. All of Wayne's secrets, his methods and tools and his decades as the Batman, died with him as Wayne Manor burned to the ground. The fire was apparently set by his butler, who himself died of a stroke at the scene. Every penny of Wayne's wealth, all of his accounts and financial holdings, have also disappeared.
Selina Kyle: You've got some nerve showing up here! I know who killed him, damn you!

Confronting Mortality and Power Dynamics

Batman: You're feeling it now, aren't you? What the rest of us live with every day. Your own mortality. Don't worry, you'll survive. The kryptonite will work its way out of your lungs soon enough.
Superman: Bruce... your heart...!
