An old man dies. A young woman lives. A fair trade.

The rain on my chest is a baptism - I'm born again.

And I was going to be damned if I was older than Batman.

When you got a condition, it's bad to forget your medicine.

Hell's waking up every goddamn day and not even knowing why you're here.

When you have a brush in your hand, inking a beautiful woman is a lot like running your hands over her.

I don't do a comic book thinking there is a movie. I just want it to be as good a comic book as it can be.

I realized that I was about to turn 30, and Batman was permanently 29. And I was going to be damned if I was older than Batman.

The noir hero is a knight in blood caked armor. He's dirty and he does his best to deny the fact that he's a hero the whole time.

Gotham City. Clean shafts of concrete and snowy rooftops. The work of men who died generations ago. From here, it looks like an achievement. From here, you can't see the enemy.
