About This Quote

Thesis from the movie "The Dark Knight." In this case, Batman is talking about Damien's grandfather. He is referring to Damien as a disrespectful kid who shows no respect for the dead. The point of this quote is that there is a line between respect and disrespect. This line is not always easily defined. For example, in the movie "Alfred, Lord of the Rings," when Alfred tells Gollum that he does not respect Gollum, it is a different kind of disrespect that Alfred is referring to, but it certainly has a negative connotation.
