Pale Moonlight – Batman

Even though we recently addressed this scene on another list highlighting our favorite movie moments, it’s too good not to include on this list as well. Batman, as Bruce Wayne, with Vicki Vale in her apartment, are confronted by the Joker and his goon squad. While Bruce tries to figure out how to beat the Joker at his own game without blowing his cover (he goes for the fire poker) Joker asks him a seemingly simple question, “Ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?” Bruce’s mind starts working and all he can manage is a “What?” The Joker replies, “I always ask that of all my prey.” It is here that Bruce makes the connection to earlier in the film when his parents are killed. The Joker is their murderer.
