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.

TV is, as I'm discovering now, a marathon. You have to keep going and going and going.

I always love it best when you have a project where there is this commingling of the subject matter and the way in which you're recording that subject matter.

The thing about working on a TV show is that it becomes, very quickly, all consuming.

Television is very different than working on film. With films, you get to develop a set of characters, and then, at the end of the film, you have to throw them away.

You're different. You're more perfect. Time is three things for most people, but for you, for us, just one. A singularity. One moment. This moment. Like you're the center of the clock, the axis on which the hands turn. Time moves about you but never moves you. It has lost its ability to affect you. What is it they say? That time is theft? But not for you. Close your eyes and you can start all over again. Conjure up that necessary emotion, fresh as roses.

Every man is a mob, a chain gang of idiots.
