The line comes from The Dark Knight Rises, released in 2012, where Bane, played by Tom Hardy, mocks Batman for using darkness as a tool while Bane was raised in it. The speech became one of the film's most quoted moments and spread as a copypasta, impression and reaction clip across forums and video edits. Remixes that place the words in other famous voices, including a Kanye style version, kept the joke fresh. It survives because the claim is instantly clear and endlessly reusable for mocking bravado.
