Quotes

[first lines]
Kathryn: [presiding over the masked court] Members of the Ruling Council, Gotham has fallen ill. Violence and crime continue to spread like an unstoppable disease. Drastic action must be taken. To that end, a weapon is being built. A weapon intended to be unleashed on Gotham so that the city may be cleansed and rebuilt by us. The Head of our Court asks that we reach a unanimous vote to proceed.
Kathryn: [one-by-one, members set down their pens] Judgment has been passed. Gotham must fall.
