I know you will never be able to hear any of these.. but this is the only way I can still feel that you are with me. I remember your last will and testament to me and I wanted to let you know I made it, father.

I honored the Wayne family legacy and committed myself to the improvement of Gotham City, to its institutions, and its citizens. I was young, don't worry father, I took care of myself, I had good people with me aswell. I am strong now, I appreciated my opportunities. I used them to give back to a city that has given us so much. To change the lives of millions of people. I did not be frivolous with our wealth, I did not spend our all money on fast cars and outrageous clothes. I invested it for Gotham, treated its people like family, watched over them and used our money to safeguard them from forces beyond their control. I wish you and my mother could still be here, father.

I promise you, I will never abandon the city to fate. As I am always taught, I will always do the right thing, that is all matters. I will sacrificie anything for the greater good.

I will love you both until death, may you rest in peace forever...

Bruce Wayne



Thank you! Thank you for joining me on this night. After all years I’ve been through, I returned to Gotham with one purpose. I wanted to save my home, give back to a city that has given all of us, so much. My father always wanted me to honor him by following his path. Treating Gotham and its people in the best way, like he did for his entire life. But I failed him, I betrayed him, betrayed to you all. I know I am not a shiny knight to save the city. I am not a politician that Gotham needs, but I can let you know that with all of you, we can stand against anything.

He had a saying: "Tomorrow is one dream away." Sentimental words, I know, but they stayed with me... even after my parents were killed. Rather than focus on the demons, on the darkness, on all that's wrong with Gotham... something I've been guilty of for too many years... It's time to focus on how exceptional this city is. And how much better it can be... will be... tomorrow. But before we can build it, we have to dream it.

I learned that, doing the right thing is rarely the easy thing to do, but I would not have it any other way. The silence you have keeps us weak, but united, we will restore our hopes and get our once great city. They are not going to gain power from our broken dreams. I realized that giving up on something is giving up on your loved ones and I am not going to let it happen.

I am Bruce Wayne and I will not leave Gotham to its fate!
