120 Batman Quotes that show how idealist this character was

Batman is one of the most iconic characters of the DC Universe as you could realize reading the Batman Quotes below. You know unlike the movies of the Marvel Universe (Sorry if you are a Marvel fan) DC’s movie has a certain level of depth to it. In many ways, it portrays how the real world looks like.

If you watched the series of Batman then you would have realized that there are many grey characters in the movie, much like real life. Except for Batman and his Godfather, no one is inherently bad or good. Even Joker is not purely evil as we have seen in 2019 blockbuster – Joker. Though Joker’s dialogues in previous Batman movies made sense to the audience, they still portrayed Joker in a negative light.

This movie took a step into his past life and showed us exactly how he transitioned to the Joker we all know. I hope that the writers would show us the dark side of Batman so that it feels more like a real-life character. Till then these Batman quotes will show you how idealistic this character was.
