Quotes 

• [Bruce Wayne and Captain Barnes tell each other how they feel about one another] 

  Bruce Wayne : Excuse me, Captain. I find your flippant attitude to be inappropriate.

  Nathaniel Barnes : I find you to be kind of a pain in the ass.

• [Jim Gordon tells Captain Barnes about Hugo Strange creating monsters] 

  Nathaniel Barnes : So, in a nutshell, Hugo Strange is making monsters out of dead people in his spare time, and he had Karen Jennings killed by Victor Fries, who's been dead for three months.

  James Gordon : I know it sounds far-fetched.

  Nathaniel Barnes : Far-fetched? No. It sounds insane!

• [Captain Barnes tells Jim Gordon man needs the law in Gotham City] 

  James Gordon : There are times when breaking the law is the right thing to do.

  Nathaniel Barnes : And who gets to decide that, you?

  James Gordon : Yeah. Someone has to.

  Nathaniel Barnes : No, Jim, you're wrong. Look where Gotham's going. Maniacs, perverts, freaks, coming out of every hole. It's like a sea of evil flooding the city. If a man doesn't cling onto the law, he'll lose his bearings, drown.

• [Azrael gives Captain Barnes the choice to release Jim Gordon or his officers will die] 

  Theo Galavan : Order them to stand aside and allow the sinner, James Gordon, to be punished. Do this, and I will spare them all. Decline and they will face my judgment. Their lives now rest in your hands. How many will die? All? Or one? Decide, Captain.

  Nathaniel Barnes : You can go to hell.

  Theo Galavan : I've been there. You go.

• James Gordon : Trust me.

  Nathaniel Barnes : How can I trust you when you're talkin' crazy? How can I trust you when you've lied to me so many times? Monsters?

  James Gordon : I lied to you because it's hard to tell you the truth. You're stubborn and you're angry, and the GCPD has paid a price for it!
