- Oswald Cobblepot: I can't take on Nygma and Barbara and the rest of them by myself.
- Ivy Pepper: Who said anything about taking them on by yourself? Selina told me some pretty crazy stories about people she met down in Indian Hill. Said you wanted to build an army, right? Well, what about an army of freaks?
- Oswald Cobblepot: What kind of freaks?
- Bruce Wayne: The Temple is some sort of maze, is that it?
- The Shaman: Everything is a maze Bruce. The only difference is whether we realize our place in it.

- Kathryn: [presiding over the masked court] Members of the Ruling Council, Gotham has fallen ill. Violence and crime continue to spread like an unstoppable disease. Drastic action must be taken. To that end, a weapon is being built. A weapon intended to be unleashed on Gotham so that the city may be cleansed and rebuilt by us. The Head of our Court asks that we reach a unanimous vote to proceed.
- Kathryn: [one-by-one, members set down their pens] Judgment has been passed. Gotham must fall.
- Frank Gordon: It's clear that the Court no longer trusts me.
- James Gordon: Then why call me down here?
- Frank Gordon: I'm supposed to kill you.
- The Shaman: Over the centuries, we've tried to end the cycle of crime and violence that plagues Gotham, only for it to start up again. And do you know why it does? People are afraid. And fear breeds hopelessness.
