Tom Hardy

"You mustn’t be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling."

Featured

"You mustn’t be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling."

"Oh, you think darkness is your ally, but 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!"

"The shadows betray you, because they belong to me!"

"Speak of the devil and he shall appear!"

"We take Gotham from the corrupt, the rich, the oppressors of generations who have kept you down with myths of opportunity, and we give it back to you, the people."

"We turn the water into wine and implore you drink deep of the cup."

"But start by storming Blackgate and freeing the oppressed!"

"Step forward, those who would serve, for an army will be raised."
