There is a reason why this prison is the worst hell on earth: Hope. Every man who has rotted here over the centuries... ...has looked up to the light and imagined climbing to freedom. So easy. So simple. And like shipwrecked men turning to seawater from uncontrollable thirst... ...many have died trying. l learned here there can be no true despair without hope. So as l terrorize Gotham... ...l will feed its people hope to poison their souls. l will let them believe that they can survive... ...so that you can watch them clambering over each other to stay in the sun. You can watch me torture an entire city. And then when you have truly understood the depth of your failure... ...we will fulfill Ra's Al Ghul's destiny. We will destroy Gotham. And then, when it is done... ...and Gotham is... ...ashes... ...then you have my permission to die.

Your heir. An heir to ensure the League of Shadows fulfills its duty... ...to restore balance to civilization. No. You yourself fought the decadence of Gotham for years... ...with all your strength... ...all your resources, all your moral authority. And the only victory you could achieve was a lie. Now you understand. Gotham is beyond saving. No. -And must be allowed to die. -No!

Why didn't you just... ...kill me? BANE: You don't fear death, you welcome it. Your punishment must be more severe. Torture? Yes. But not of your body. Of your soul.
