"The Bat isn't as good as you were - you were the shining pinnacle. And now, you're another beautiful example." He gestured with his fork, "Shows just how far the pedestal you fell off of drops you."

Maybe he should have just responded that he believed in Harvey Dent, but that would have been cliche.
