Batman: Night Cries

Kathy...? I'm sorry. I don't want to frighten you. I did once when you saw me through the window at your home. I know I look scary and there have been too many scary things in your life. So I want you to see – I'm just a man, a man who's trying to help.

— Batman (removing his mask while speaking to an abused girl)
