"Now I'll take my new form, child. Don't be afraid. Blue is for soldiers of morning, of light. But me... I am no dawn. No, you can call me... THE DARKEST KNIGHT."—The Batman Who Laughs transforming into The Darkest Knight.
"When I was Bruce Wayne, I thought that with enough preparation, I would always win. But I was wrong. I was trapped in an unwinnable war, refusing to see the obvious answers right in front of me. The answers that are so clear to me now with victory right around the corner. To win, you need to adapt, and to adapt, you need to be able to laugh away all the restraints. Everything holding you back. You see... a Batman who laughs... is a Batman who always wins. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"—The Batman Who Laughs.
