Setting and context: Batman is pretty new on the scene, and largely regarded as some vigilante freak who chases muggers and drug dealers. Big time criminals don’t see him as a major threat. That’s about to change…
Batman has just cut the power and used explosives to blast through the wall of a mansion, where several rich, corrupt elites were having a luxurious dinner. They are now in a dark, smoky room, being addressed by a figure in a cape:
“Ladies. Gentlemen.
You have eaten well.
You’ve eaten Gotham’s wealth. It’s spirit.
From this moment on -
none of you are safe.”
A truly outstanding moment from one of the greatest comics ever written.
From Batman: Year One.
