Batman : Jim, I wanted to tell you: working with Barbara, it was an honor...
G.C.P.D. Commissioner James Gordon : Don't.
Batman : Even if you knew what she was she was doing, you couldn't have stopped her.
G.C.P.D. Commissioner James Gordon : Stubborn. Like her old man.
Batman : Brave.
G.C.P.D. Commissioner James Gordon : You know, you see a lot in this job. A lot of heartbreak, a lot of suffering. But I'll never forget taking a witness statement from an eight-year-old boy who'd just seen his parents gunned down.
Batman : You were kind, Jim.
G.C.P.D. Commissioner James Gordon : I... I was thinking, I may never get the chance to tell you this, to say sorry.
Batman : You don't have to.
G.C.P.D. Commissioner James Gordon : We're the same, Bruce. We'd do anything for our family.

G.C.P.D. Commissioner James Gordon : Nine months ago, Joker was cremated. I pressed the button and burnt the evil bastard myself. And then, we waited. Gotham braced itself for the inevitable power struggle. But it didn't come. Crime actually fell. Deep down, I knew war was coming. I was just waiting for someone to pull the trigger.

[Scarecrow is holding Barbara hostage]
G.C.P.D. Commissioner James Gordon : Let her go!
Dr. Jonathan Crane : You both still have a part to play.
G.C.P.D. Commissioner James Gordon : We had a deal!
Dr. Jonathan Crane : [laughs] Once I understood your greatest fear, controlling you was simple. You blame yourself for her condition. You need to protect her, but buried deep down is the inevitability that you will one day fail. And that fear makes you mine.
[Gordon aims his gun at Scarecrow]
Dr. Jonathan Crane : Think very carefully about your next move, Commissioner. Her life depends on it.

Batman : Jim, you need to see this.
G.C.P.D. Commissioner James Gordon : We haven't got time. She's not like us.
Batman : [activates the clock tower's Batcomputer] She's strong, Jim. Stronger than you realize.
G.C.P.D. Commissioner James Gordon : [shocked] She works for you? This is all your fault.
Batman : I will find her.
G.C.P.D. Commissioner James Gordon : [punches Batman] She's my family! My DAUGHTER! She's all I've got. I never should've trusted you. Never!
[takes communicator Batman gave him and throws it to the ground]
G.C.P.D. Commissioner James Gordon : I'll do this on my own. Stay away from my family.

Dr. Jonathan Crane : Are you ready?
Batman : This isn't going to end how you think, Crane.
Dr. Jonathan Crane : Enough bravado. It's too late for that. I don't care who you are, but they will
[gestures to the people on the TV monitors]
Dr. Jonathan Crane : I'm going to rob them of hope. Failure will have a face and a name. It is time. Mr. Gordon, I would like you to do the honors.
G.C.P.D. Commissioner James Gordon : Never. I'm done taking orders from you.
[Scarecrow aims his gun at Gordon, but then shoots Robin]
G.C.P.D. Commissioner James Gordon : You bastard!
Dr. Jonathan Crane : Take off that mask or my next shot will kill him.
Batman : It's okay, Jim.
G.C.P.D. Commissioner James Gordon : It's not okay. You know what this means.
Batman : It's the end.
G.C.P.D. Commissioner James Gordon : When they find out who you are, there'll be no hiding.
Batman : You need to trust me, Jim.
Dr. Jonathan Crane : Now!
[Gordon slowly removes Batman's mask. The people watching via news footage react in surprise]
Dr. Jonathan Crane : Wayne? Bruce Wayne? Now the people of Gotham can see their savior for what he truly is: a legend laid bare. Powerless. Human. AFRAID.
