I'm not him -- I'm a lot more -- and a lot worse.
Gee...I don't know. Will it work? A different costume...
As for my clothing...don't you recognize the new red cross uniform? Get a clue, guys.
Let me tell you why you want to go away. There's someone inside me who wants nothing more--nothing in the world more--than to tear you apart and spit on the pieces.
--Azrael can't do anything but fight.
We fought once tonight. You lost. If we fight again, you'll lose again. This time, you might not get up. If you raise your weapon, I'll break your arm before you can trigger it.
Who else can understand you? What you've gone through? Only me, because I've gone through it, too. Let's forget what we're supposed to be -violent, puppet assassins- and be brothers.''
My name is Azrael, and I am probably the closest thing you'll ever see to an avenging angel. At least in this life.
"I'll be fine, Oracle. I hope."
You lied to me! You told me murder was unacceptable! You're a hypocrite!
Within the last three days, I've fought a vampire — a werewolf — and a giant octopus, and — I am not up to fighting a herd of demons. Or whatever they are.
I hit him. And I hit the man in uniform behind him. That was when I began to suspect I'd done something wrong.
I don't want to fight. I just want to leave this place.
I'll tell you something I never admit, even to myself... I'm confused. I don't know exactly who I am, or where my place might be. But I am sure of one thing... I am nothing like you.
I'm getting a little more than tired of you telling me what to do. I hope you're not going to be on my case while we're fighting for the lives of everybody in Metropolis!
I came here to fight to destroy this place. Now I'm committing myself to saving it. Go figure...
What greater weapon against pestilence than searing flame?
'I am not a servant! I am Jean-Paul Valley!'
Stay out of my way. Tell him to stay out of my way!
I've never realised it Brian, but... we're friends aren't we? I didn't known I had a friend until this moment.
Casual violence is a way of life to them. It's done for fun and profit. Until tonight. Tonight it gets real. Real serious. Real scary. Real painful. Real fast.
Say it, Wayne! One true Batman! One true Batman! ONE TRUE BATMAN!
You hand over that hammer and you hand it over now. Unless you want to spend the rest of your life on a respirator.
I'm not him -- I'm a lot more -- and a lot worse.
Not good enough? Because Killer Croc hurt me back in the beginning? Because Bane walked right past me in contempt--? Never again, Boy Wonder... NEVER AGAIN!''
Take my tip--give up the hero business--before your bungling kills somebody!
Do what the man says. Take me. I said, take me. Take me. Don't leave yet. I haven't finished with your lesson.
The cape protected me, but it should be more than defense... the cape itself must become a weapon. The system... it's still good for some things.
I wonder-- did Bruce Wayne ever feel like that? Like his hatred for injustice, his rage against oppression, were going to burst out of him in an explosion he couldn't ever hope to control? Probably not.
Your quarrel wasn't with me! I'm not your puny Batman! I'm the punishing angel! Azrael-- Harbinger of death!
The transformation is complete. The crusade begins. The mantle is mine now. And the cave and the city. I took it from Bane. It's mine and I've decided-- you're no use to me.
I think my name is Jean Paul Valley. But sometimes I remember being Azrael--
I stand alone. One man against damnation. Let them come.
Next time I see you after dark, you spend a month in the hospital. Think about it!
Don't ever forget it. They're people. Treat them with respect--with dignity--or you'll answer to me!
Your memory is your weakness... it will destroy you.
