Batman, Volume 4 Quotes

“It was thrilling, wasn't it? [...] That moment, that perfect moment you let go of your rigid concepts of what was possible. When there was nothing left to do but step beyond anything you'd learned before...when you stopped being a poor mimic and became a master of the mind. How did that feel?"
"Empowering.”
― Scott Snyder, Batman, Volume 4: Zero Year – Secret City

“I was just so afraid.... So afraid of being seen through, of being caught, that I missed the point. I missed the most important fact of it all, which is quite simply...they want to believe in you up there.... The audience wants to forget who's under the mask. But they don't want to forget because of obfuscation...no, they want to forget it's you by virtue of the passion of your performance. They want to be transported.... Transported to a world where bigger truths are at work, and anything--anything--can happen. A world where the impossible is possible. Batman can be someone like that for them, Bruce. Someone who defies every damn rule of logic that governs their lives.”
― Scott Snyder, Batman, Volume 4: Zero Year – Secret City

“And yes, it all might end at any moment for any of us, in violence or not, but what matters is what we do before that. The lives we lead.”
― Scott Snyder, Batman, Volume 4: Zero Year – Secret City
