Top 10 Best Superhero Movie Quotes

You've probably heard at least one of these lines quoted a thousand times in arguments, Reddit threads, or awkward first dates where someone thought quoting Batman would be smooth. And yet, somehow, the best ones still hit every time.

They carry weight not because they're flashy but because they say something real in a world that's usually anything but. Sometimes it's humor, sometimes it's pain, and sometimes it's just Thor dropping a one-liner like he's moonlighting as a stand-up comic.

The Top Ten
  1. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn. - The Dark Knight

    This is my favorite quote ever. It really shows a side of some people we never really know.

    The Dark Knight is honestly my favorite movie. Better than The Shawshank Redemption. What made the movie great was the conflict of morality between Harvey, Bruce, the Joker, and Gordon.

    Really an amazing quote. It's something you can reflect on.

  2. I believe there's a hero in all of us, that keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble, and finally allows us to die with pride, even though sometimes we have to be steady, and give up the thing we want the most. Even our dreams. - Spider-Man 2

    I really love this quote. It talks about having hope for people and self-sacrifice, two things that every good hero has or does in some way.

    A superhero's life is really bittersweet, like this quote, because they live to help people and allow others to carry on with their normal lives, but heroes can never have a normal life for themselves.

    I think it is touching. I also believe that there is a hero inside us all. We just have to find it. The best way to find it is by giving back to the community.

    I would love to see other teenagers like me give back to the community. That is my definition of a hero. Even starting to recycle can help.

  3. Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So, we'll hunt him, because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian. A watchful protector. A Dark Knight. - The Dark Knight

    Are you kidding? This is one of the most beautiful sentiments in movie history, and it made it into a superhero film of all things!

    The perfect ending for an otherwise dark and oppressive - but good - movie seals the deal for the audience. Everyone who left the theater after that quote was shaking their heads, admiring Batman for his heroism - sorry, guardianship and protection - towards an ungrateful, blind city.

    A quote like this sets the tone for a movie's legacy. It belongs in the top five, at least!

    When I left the theater, I was quite moved. A very elemental conflict between good and evil. Christopher Nolan creates an incredible world in which we can really fit in. The complexity of his ideas is unchallengeable.

    Whatever he does, it deeply influences my mind. I'll put this movie in the #1 position amongst all the movies that I've ever seen. Not to forget, it inspired me to be a film director.

  4. Whatever life holds in store for me, I will never forget these words: "With great power comes great responsibility." This is my gift, my curse. Who am I? I'm Spider-Man. - Spider-Man

    I like how this relates to everyone. Whenever we do something bad or good, it always has a consequence.

    If you decide to save a life, you risk your own. If you decide to harm someone else, you risk your life and also get arrested. It all depends on what you do and how you do it, which will determine your type of consequence.

    Come on, this quote is legendary!

    I may have forgotten a lot about this movie, but not this quote!

    This is my favorite quote from the best superhero movie! Tobey Maguire is the best Spider-Man!

  5. Would you rather die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain? - The Dark Knight

    Because it's true. Lose/die being a hero, or live and fight until all morals and reasoning are gone. When good does not exist, when there is only evil.

    Hence, I adore this quote. It's a matter of time before even the greatest ones fall.

    It makes you think about whether your life is worth hard work and if you are willing to work hard to accomplish your goals. Or, if you do not know if your life is worth trying to accomplish your goals and dreams.

    It really makes you think. Should you go insane or struggle to fight for a cause you probably will forget about?

  6. Why so serious? - The Dark Knight

    There should be more quotes from Joker in the top 20. I agree his quotes were dark, but they were epic. Inspirational quotes are amazing, but bitter quotes make you think about humanity and the dark side of it.

  7. He's adopted. - The Avengers

    Absolutely hilarious! I wonder how many people caught that when it came out in theaters.

    I laughed out loud at this. Of course, Thor wouldn't really say that, but it's still funny.

    One of my favorite lines from the movie! I was hoping someone would post that!

  8. I'm here to fight for truth, and justice, and the American way. - Superman

    Superman is the best superhero, so clearly all his quotes should be considered the best. Spider-Man, third best. Iron Man, second. Batman, fourth. Superman. Oh, definitely Superman. He's first.

    Superman is obviously the best superhero. It's in his name: Superman. He isn't named after animals and bugs like Batman and Spider-Man.

    Indeed, Superman and this quote top the list and say it all.

  9. "Iron Man". That's kind of catchy. It's got a nice ring to it. - Iron Man

    Iron Man is the only superhero that puts a smile on my face.

  10. I'm Batman. - Batman

    There is a Batman in all of us.

  11. The Newcomers
  12. ?

    SUPERMAN! - The Iron Giant

    It breaks my heart every time I watch it.

  13. ?

    Perfectly balanced, as all things should be. - Avengers: Infinity War

  14. The Contenders
  15. You know all those dangerous mutants you hear about in the news? I'm the worst one. - X2: X-Men United

    It's just awesome. Just awesome.

  16. Why do we fall, sir? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up. - Batman Begins

  17. Beneath this mask there is an idea. And ideas are bulletproof. - V for Vendetta

    Great movie and an amazing quote.

  18. You will give the people an ideal to strive towards. They will race behind you, they will stumble, they will fall. But in time, they will join you in the sun. In time, you will help them accomplish wonders. - Man of Steel

    It felt as though he was talking to every one of us and what we can contribute to the world.

    I love this quote. I use it for almost all of my projects that need a quote.

  19. Peace was never an option. - X-Men: First Class

    Yeah, I totally agree with you. It's great. Thanks for your quote.

  20. Remember the bad guys on the shows you used to watch on Saturday mornings? Well, these guys aren't like those guys. They won't exercise restraint because you are children. They will kill you if they get the chance. Do not give them that chance. - X-Men

    This is from The Incredibles. Whoever put this should have listed the movie.

  21. At least I've chosen a side. - X-Men

  22. Tell me something, my friend. You ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight? - Batman

  23. Oh, no... this is Earth... isn't it? - Thor

  24. Oh, you mean that guy? (points at guy with 3 pencils sticking out of his neck) - Daredevil

  25. It's not who I am underneath... but what I do... that defines me. - Batman Begins

  26. You think you can threaten my mother?! - Man of Steel

    So many quotable lines in the movie, but I just simply loved this one. Such an amazing scene and an incredible movie overall.

  27. But a kiss can be even deadlier if you mean it. - Batman Returns

  28. And when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "Save us!"... and I'll look down and whisper "No.

    Fantastic quote. Watchmen was an AMAZING and unconventional superhero movie!

    Watchmen - Rorschach Part 2
