COMMISSIONER GORDON: The Joker won.
Gordon stares down at the scarred side of Harvey Dent.
GORDON (cont'd): All of Harvey's prosecutions, everything he fought for...undone. Whatever chance you gave us of fixing our city dies with Harvey's reputation. We bet it all on him. The Joker took the best of us and tore him down. People will lose hope.
BATMAN: They won't. They must never know what he did.
GORDON: Five dead, two of them cops...you can't sweep that up.
BATMAN: No. But the Joker cannot win.
Batman crouches to Dent's body.
BATMAN (cont'd): Gotham needs its true hero.
Gently, he turns Dent's head so the good side of his face is up. Gordon looks from Dent's face to Batman. Understanding.
GORDON: No!
BATMAN: "You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain." I can do those things, because I'm not a hero, not like Dent. I killed those people, that's what I can be.
GORDON: No, you can't! You're not!
