** [[spoiler: It gets gets even worse in ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'', when we actually see and hear the full details of the story.]]
* When Bruce's parents are murdered in front of him. Although the scene has been done many times, it is still saddening to see young Bruce lose his parents.
** It's continued in the two or three scenes after that. If your bottom lip isn't trembling by the time Jim Gordon tries to comfort young Bruce with the news that they've arrested the killer, then the "A little dinner" scene between Alfred and Bruce will rip the waterworks from you.

* Alfred has a lot of really moving dialogue in ''Begins'' that shows just how loyal and attached he really is to the Waynes.
--> '''Bruce''': Why do you give a damn, Alfred? It's not your family.
--> '''Alfred''': I give a damn, because a good man once made me responsible for what was most important to him in the whole world.
* Alfred admonishing Bruce regarding his cavalier attitude toward his public image:
-->'''Bruce:''' We need to send these people away now.
