David S. Goyer - The Dark Knight Rises: Batman and Bane First Fight Scene lyrics

SELINA KYLE: I had to find a way to stop them from trying to k** me. BATMAN: You've made a serious mistake. BANE: Not as serious as yours, I fear. BATMAN: Bane... BANE: Let's not stand on ceremony here, Mr. Wayne. *Batman charges at Bane and they begin to fight* BANE: Peace has cost you your strength, victory has defeated you. *Bane begins to win the fight, Batman throws explosive batarang* BANE: Theatricality and deception; powerful agents to the uninitiated... but we are initiated, aren't we Bruce? Members of the League of Shadows! And you betrayed us! BATMAN: Yes, you were excommunicated by a gang of psychopaths. BANE: I am the League of Shadows! I'm here to fulfill Ra's al Ghul's destiny! *Batman tackles Bane but is overpowered* BANE: You fight like a younger man, with nothing held back. Admirable but mistaken. *Batman uses his EMP on his utility belt to cut the lights* BANE: Ahhh you think darkness is your ally? You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but blinding! *Bane grabs Batman out of the shadows* BANE: The shadows betray you because they belong to me! *Bane punches a defeated Batman on his mask repeatedly* BANE: I will show where I've made my home whilst preparing to bring justice. Then I'll break you. *Bane blows a hole in the ceiling revealing Batmans armory* BANE: Your precious armory! Gratefully accepted! We will need it. *Batman gets up, obviously weakened* BANE: Ah yes I was wondering which would break first... *Batman charges at Bane but is knocked to the ground* BANE: Your spirit... *Bane lifts Batman over his head* BANE: Or your body! *Bane drops Batman on his knee breaking Batman's back*
