Arkham's gone. That was what he threw his first fit over - it being shut down and somewhere better being built. [ he scoffs, clearly annoyed. ] But that's the right attitude.
[ pity roy doesn't agree with him in his own world. a goddamn shame oliver queen had to go and get himself killed by fighting for the wrong cause. ]
[ the word sidekick is an unpleasant feeling for most of these former sidekicks, so he gets it. it's one thing when its a semi-adoptive dad weaponizing you, another when it's the biological one that's supposed to be protecting you at all costs. but, hey, vigilante life is like that. ]
Wait wait, you're saying he got his bat-panties in a twist because someone wanted to improve the holding pen for the criminally insane?
[ if he's understanding 'shut down and somewhere better being built' correctly. makes it sound like your routine civic infrastructure boost, so what's batman's issue? ]
What, was he hoping the asbestos would finish the job on everyone he threw in there?
[ roy snorts, shaking his head. man, the future is a hell of a trip, isn't it? ]
Jesus. God forfuckingbid a rehabilitation system actually work to rehabilitate people.
[ and the boy in him that had his life saved by rehabilitation programs and people is deeply annoyed that bruce only cares about keeping criminals alive so long as he gets to beat them up again. yeah, sure, that's the right way to solve a crime epidemic, makes total sense. asshat. ]
Always knew Bats was a little unhinged, but I never expected he'd go that far. [ said somewhat more somberly, ] Sorry that's all been put on you to handle.
Down, boy. I'm talking about people like Killer Croc, not the ones like Joker.
[ those can just go. he's done way more crime than any kind of rehabilitation can deal with or make up for, and after a nuke? yeah, not all criminals are the same level of hopeless, that part he won't budge on, but he can agree with the rest. ]
So he's back on the murder train now? [ roy leans back, cross his arms over his chest and tilting his head as he regards damian, trying to wrap his brain around this. ] Where's that leave you in all this?
[ oh. well. his grandfather took care of that one. ]
In that case, I'm sure you'll be happy to hear he's married to Orca. Don't try to imagine that.
[ just don't. ]
He's not. He's pro-locking everyone who disagrees with him up and spying on them with satellites, "for their own good". [ he knows jason knows, and he also knows jason won't rat him out. ] I'm pro-permanent solutions for unrepentant murderers and shoving the rest of them where they can't hurt anyone. So's Superman.

I watched him use every single file he had on the rest of the League to try to torture them into agreeing that things were fine as they were.

[ sorry, roy. ]
Or were. [ he scoffs again. ] He changed tack and decided maybe we weren't so wrong once he was in charge again.
