'When Bizarro was afraid of the dark, I told him what I was afraid of. I told him about my sister Lena and how she fell ill. I told him that I was too afraid to fail so I didn't try to save her. The story was a lie. The truth is, my sister was sick. And I did try to cure her. But I failed. In a life that seems defined by success, it's truly defined by failure. My failure left her an invalid. But failure is what makes us stronger. That's what Ultraman and his Syndicate could never see. We need to fail to succeed. To grow. To learn. And I have... I've learned something in particular... And it's going to change everything.' ... "Bruce Wayne is Batman." - Forever Evil Vol 1 #7(2014)

"In fact, since last we spoke yesterday, I've met with some of Arkham's finest and the same words have passed all their lips... Bane is no Batman. So, let me impart a simple truth for you to digest, my imposing ally. No mater how many killers and tough guys you've brought with you from Santa Prisca, the crazies of Arkham have lived through worse. They don't fear you." - Forever Evil: Arkham War Vol 1 #3(2014)

"I've lived through the end of the world a lot in this town... The Green taking over, earthquakes, plagues... Bullock and I would call it Apocalypse Wednesdays because it seemed like a weekly occurrence..." - Forever Evil: Arkham War Vol 1 #2(2014)

"This is a search and rescue mission first..." "Richard Grayson?" "Yes, Luthor. Once Nightwing's safe, we take down the Syndicate. But all of you are going to work within the parameters I set and follow orders I give. If we're working together, I'm in charge." "Rr." ... "Uh, Batman? They're in charge." - Forever Evil Vol 1 #5(2014)

"So this cave is where you spend your days? Putting your dirty laundry on display? I remember the one with the capsules on the belt, when Robin first came on the scene. Back then I thought for a second, you might actually enjoy being Batman." - Forever Evil Vol 1 #4(2014)

"Someone moved the damn moon over the sun, the Justice League is dead, the lights are out, Gotham's been split between a dozen homicidal Arkham escapees and our secret weapon is gone... Probably for good. I don't know what Bane wants, or why he came all the way back from Santa Prisca. But I think it's okay to be shocked now." - Forever Evil: Arkham War Vol 1 #1(2013)

"I need to find Nightwing." "After they broadcast his identity? This Grayson person is probably already dead." "We don't know that." "Who is he?" "He's a friend." - Forever Evil Vol 1 #3(2014)

"Task Force X, the Squad's actual name, wasn't the first Task Force here, Gordon. We took plenty of stabs at it. Just since I've been here, we've had Task Force U, Task Force V, Task Force W... And this..." "Wait, so it's alphabetical? So there were twenty-four Task Forces before 'X'?!" "...Something like that." - Suicide Squad Vol 4 #25(2014)

'Belle Reve, Louisiana. What a place. Someone once asked me what the difference is between Arkham Asylum and Belle Reve. They are both maximum-security facilities. They both house super-powered villains. They both hide a lot of secrets that most of the people who run the places don't even know about. The difference is... Arkham tries to rehabilitate their inmates. But the way I run Belle Reve, they have to work for it...' - Suicide Squad Vol 4 #24(2013)

'I'd finally found my calling. A real challenge. These were the ones that the best doctors in Gotham had given up on. But I was better than any doctor they'd ever seen. I could do it. I was going to fix them, if anyone could. But even I was having trouble. I couldn't get through to any of them. And then I had a revelation. There was always something between me and them. A barrier. Physical and mental. And to get past the one... I'd have to get past the other. A little make-up, some hair-styling, a new name, and I was in. One of them. No barriers.' - Detective Comics Vol 2 #23.2: Harley Quinn(2013)

"Thank you for the food, please bless it to our bodies, we ask in Jesus' name, Amen. We were separated for far too long. It feels good to have family again. We will never be separated again. No one can ever take you from me. Not Bruce Wayne. Not Batman. Daddy's going to preserve the integrity of this family unit." - Batman: The Dark Knight Vol 2 #23.2: Mister Freeze(2013)

"This is Clayface. Transmitting from Gotham. Secret Society... Do you read me?" "Clayface?" "I've secured the military training compound down in the Gotham Badlands. Some Strike Force was holed up here, organizing a resistance. So I put a stop to 'em. "So you did. And did we ask you to do this?" "No. But I had a plan. Thought I'd take some initiative. Show you what a valuable member of the Secret Society I could be." "Idiot. This organized resistance... was organized by us." - Batman: The Dark Knight Vol 2 #23.3: Clayface(2013)
