I never really understood this story's relevance to the Joker. The "bandit" was giving out rubies to poor village children and Alfred thinks he wanted to watch the world burn? Thomas Crown-style thievery for sport is not equivalent to mass murder and anarchy.
@Whyavier The way I saw it was that the bandit stole the rubies not for money but for the sake of it similar to how the jokers crimes don't have a real purpose other than to cause chaos. While the crimes aren't the same the ideas/motives behind them are.
No kiiding. In Ancient Greece, a man named Herostratus set down the Temple of Artemis -one of the Wonders of the Ancient World- on fire just so "that through the destruction of this most beautiful building my name might be spread through the whole world".
@wookovar not only is a fact of life, but it's troubling fact. Especially when men who "want to watch the world burn" get into positions of power. Like in politrix.
It's a great line, but it's also a great performance. Michael Caine almost sounds like he's just sharing some folk wisdom, no big deal, but he's also deadly serious and slightly dark. He uses all the subtlety and nuance that Bane lacks in his growling Batvoice.
There's a little 'dark knight" in all of us...the more u listen/watch key moments in this movie you almost think the movie title wasn't really in reference to batman...it's in reference to joker...i am man enough to admit i feel like the burma diamond trader.
When I see the bullshit going on this planet from politics to poverty and race issues, I find myself wishing from time to time to help destroy civilization and live like the animals we treat the each other.
Looking trough the comments its nice to see im not alone.. calm,friendly,nice and trying to be a "good" person for yourself and those around you..wouldnt harm a fly.. but behind all that having a deeper darker side that wants to kill,slash,burn,torture and push the nuclear button so everyone fucking dies. Luckly for me the good side has grown much stronger..
Please listen (automatically I lost half the audience I bet, but plowing on)!!!!!!
The republicans are trying to do EXACTLY THIS.
The republicans stand for rich, white, elderly, Christian supremecy and dont' even care the although the country is 55% v. 45% in Favor of Democrats, they are only in power due to gerry mandering and due to the fact that republicans get their votes from the rural/countrside where the majority of the people DON'T LIVE.
@indiansarecheap3 We did... but look what happened. He was mostly talk. There was a correct order in which to carry on his agenda but instead he chose to make enemies first and try to act later which now he can't because there is no bipartisan cooperation. And now that's his excuse for everything, "Mr president ________" "I think that can't be accomplished with out bipartisan cooperation." Duh...
@indiansarecheap3 in fact this is a VERY conservative monologue from a very conservative film adapted from a very conservative comic book character created by the very conservative Stan Lee.
@schitzonix I dont know how to even start with the stupidity of your comment. Ill just address the most basic mistake you made..Stan Lee was a creator from MARVEL comics...Batman is from DC comics. its the equivalent of Macs and Microsoft. Please know your facts before making such obviously close minded statements.

I honestly can't tell political agendas apart from one another, but every time you make something you put a bit of yourself in it. From paintings, to music, to stories. If you don't then the work is bland and ugly.
Conservative or not, this quote holds truth in the world, like it or not.
@ChiLLaXN1337 The economy? Ha! Wait till governments start to crumble because politicians are lying twats and greedy bastards hungry for power. Greece was only the beginning.
@higuma75 ....fiat money...inflation...it's ok we all have to die 1 day...i really don't see the point in the end; insurance...from what? death?,,,,money for what...to keep someone loving you...to make your kids read books? we've spent "money" in the wrong direction in the 21st century...if we survived the 22nd hopefully we make do without money or a whole different trading arrangement and perhaps vastly re-engineered resources and infrastructures...ppl will pillage for food...& u think im crazy
"Some men aren't looking for anything logical , like money . They can't be bought , bullied , worried or negotiated with . Some men just want to watch the world burn ."
@benutzer29915022 Those idiots censored "A-10 Tank Killer" back in the days. They also censored "return to castle wolfenstein", because you get to kill nazis in it. And that's bad... or something. Bunch of idiots.
one of the most amazing lines ever said in a movie. The nest best one I think is this: -"All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to you." - Gandalf The Grey
@geocross237 Why should anyone care what you have to say when you use a phrase such as "more wiser"? I don't know if your 8 or just a retard. Either way your opinion is null and void and you would do better to keep it to yourself.
uhh I hope you're trolling but the world's retarded enough that it's fair to assume that you're not. Listen to Ron Paul, Obama is a corporatist, he's a pawn of lobbyists like other presidents. Furthermore, the Joker does what he does in the name of anarchism - and while anarchism may be a crazy ideology, anarchists and marxists spent a lot of the last 200 years fighting each other. anarchism, absolute freedom, has nothing in common with communism.
Change it to - "Some WOMEN aren't looking for anything logical. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some WOMEN just want to watch the world burn." -
And you've got a quick and complete description of myself.
Even though Batman isn't too meaningful to me, I love this movie just because of the Joker, a symbolism of what some people can really be, though you might not notice it under all the laughs and smiles they give you as you walk by.
It's a good line as well. I like the Batman series a lot because it draws on historical predicate, such as Vietnam, CIA tactics, and draws on human nature as well. It's pretty good shit all in all.
