So, nothing condescending to say about my new costume? You weren't exactly focused the last time you saw it. You're welcome by the way. 
I should have killed him when I had the chance. That thought, I can't get rid of it. And every time I leave one of them alive... be it a mobster or one of Arkham's monsters... that's one more animal that's going to be back on the streets, just waiting to destroy a life.
New to California? Me, too! Word of advice: They are not smoker-friendly!
Every word you say is like a pitchfork to my dignity. All right. We'll get some food. But no place public. And I reserve the right to shoot you if you irritate me again.
I strongly suspect this is going to hurt.
This is very important to me, Don Sigiorello. If I've been improper, I hope you'll forgive me. I'd rather do this with your blessing, than without.
Oracle? Shouldn't you be taking the new Bat-brat for walkies or something?
I told them they had Eighty-Three-Thousand years to lay their traps and hide their weapons. It seemed obvious. The kids in school had been burying stuff in a little time capsule to themselves in the Eighth Grade... and my idea became a plan and saved the future.
Robin told me I was on probation with Batman. I had to be a good girl if I wanted to fit in. If that means saving the life of scum like that, I don't want in their little club. Hell, I think I'm the kind of hero Gotham deserves. I may be the only hero Gotham has left.

Everything's always okay until someone hunts you down and kills you.
I had to avenge my family, blood cries for blood. But more blood is just more blood.
Helena Bertinelli is gone. She was a facade, masking a great deal of pain. Masking her feelings. Masking her fears. The old facade has cracked. The stoic, the sharp tongue... all broken down to provide fuel for a new self. Helena thought she was intimidating. She couldn't scare anybody. It's time to invent someone who can. To confront the ultimate killers, I must construct the ultimate alias. To combat the murderers who would destroy my family, crush my own life on their way to consuming everything. I must become a greater, more fearsome destroyer. To track down the animals who prey on the innocent, I must stalk them first... I am no longer their quarry. I am... the Huntress.

This is trouble... but it's trouble I'll have to live with for the time being. If this guy does what he says he can... he'll bring peace to the neighborhood for the time being... And right now... I'll do anything for that!
Sympathy may be reserved for the victims, but it gets harder and harder to tell the victims, there's so many of them.
I didn't come all this way to be ignored. Respected, certainly... Yielded to, definitely... But never ignored.
She gains her power by creating a new identity -- and so do I. She has her tricks for making her clients behold her with awe... inspire fear in those around her... and I'm not so different... not so different at all...
The name is the Huntress... I'll engrave it on your memories.
You're joking, of course. You killed my family... my father... and you picked over his remains like ghouls. Now you want a... a concubine?
Be worthy of my trust.
Horrible revelations about my father - what he was and what he did - are going to continue spilling out... diary or no diary.
Hey, do me a favor. Fight back. I love it when the boys fight back.
'Was that -- Gumby?
If this is getting too ugly, you can take a walk, kid. But I'm not playing anymore. I know scum like this. And I know how to make them jump.
