A Watchful Guardian, The Dark Knight

"They'll hunt you..."

"...You'll hunt me. You'll condemn me. Set the dogs on me. Because that's what needs to happen. Because sometimes, truth isn't good enough. Sometimes people deserve more. Sometimes people deserve to have their faith rewarded..."

The sound of dogs barking grow louder. Batman runs off, staggering, nursing his bullet wound, into the darkness of the night as the police make chase.

"But why's he running dad?"

"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."
