You probably hate clips like this. Male characters are dramatic, with big movements and loud voices to portray fear and disorder. The three female characters, including a very tough marine, are quiet and docile to engender escapist feelings of worry and protection. So which volume setting do you use? The camera is forced into an awkward zoom to reconcile the two.

I'd say the editors did a good job in this case, considering both "they mostly come at night, mostly." and "game over man, game over!" have both become iconic often-quoted lines.

Good memes rarely come from good writing.

"If I took off the mask, would you die?"

"It would be extremely painful"

"You're a big guy!"

"For you."

hmm, you're probably right.

That is the incredible acting, not the lines IMHO. Imagine Bane played by an average actor - what a corny, laughable display it might have been.
