10 Best ‘The Dark Knight’ Quotes

‘The Dark Knight’ is unarguably the best superhero movie ever made. Its story along with dark background and impressive display of performance by Heath ‘The Joker’ Ledger makes it truly a class apart. I have compiled the 10 best quotes from this movie [in my opinion and I have been a little partial to the joker :D].

10.  Alfred Pennyworth – “Some men aren’t looking for anything logical like money. They can’t be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.”

09. Harvey ‘Two Face’ Dent – “Have you ever had to talk to the person you love most? To tell them it’s going to be alright, when you know that it’s not?”

08. The Joker – “Madness is like gravity, all it needs is a little… push.”

07. The Joker – “You see, I’m a guy of simple taste. I enjoy dynamite, and gunpowder, and gasoline! And do you know what they all have in common? They’re cheap.”

06. Bruce ‘Batman’ Wayne – “Sometimes, the truth isn’t good enough. Sometimes people deserve more. Sometimes people deserve to have their faith rewarded.”

05. The Joker – “Let’s put a smile on that face!”

04. The Joker – “I believe… whatever doesn’t kill you simply makes you…stranger.”

03. The Joker – “Why so serious?”

02. Harvey ‘Two Face’ Dent – “You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.”

01. The Joker – “If you’re good at something, never do it for free.”

Hope you enjoyed it !

      What about the one where joker says ” now I see the funny side, now I am always smiling”?
      In my view, that was also epic.

  5. Will Hicks Says:

    I liked the Jokers’ “Hello Beautiful”. It’s more the delivery than the line, but it killed.

    Same with his “Yeah” to the mobsters and his “Hi” at Harveys’ bedside. Great, great flick.

    Great post! Great picks! Will, you are so right! I mean the writing was most excellent, but the way Heath Ledger delivered his lines-with so much character and emotion and twistedness- were just magnificent! One of the best moveis of all time! PERFECT! CREEPY! STUNNING! HILARIOUS! All at the same time!

    You should acknowledge that Batman himself said the number one quote. Not Harvey.

  16. dillip Says:

    u missed the epic one—“Because he’s the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we’ll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he’s not our hero. He’s a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight.”

  17. Diptarup Ghosh Dastidar Says:
