“You have to think about what you are doing. Who and what made you who you are. Your role models. The beliefs they instilled in you. And think of how the Joker could never understand that. It’s what makes him who he is… All I can do is appeal to you through our friendship. I wouldn’t let you do this when he shot my daughter… killed my wife. I don’t know how I could stop you, but I won’t let you throw your life away.”
“How many more lives are we going to let him ruin?”
“I don’t care. I won’t let him ruin yours.”
