Transcripts
Bruce, I've been considering your stance on justice — how it's not vengeance, but a
service to the people.
But justice in Zion, in the Wasteland, it's a far cry from the order of Gotham.
Justice isn't about the environment.
It's a universal principle.
Early in my career, I was fueled by anger for what I lost, for what was taken from me.
It took time, but I learned that serving true justice was not about satisfying personal
vendettas.
A commendable evolution of thought.
Yet, your path was paved by the fortune that followed tragedy.
You had the means to pursue your brand of justice.
My world, however, knew only hate and conflict from the onset.
After forsaking my darker self, the evil I left behind came back to ravage New Canaan.
I now understand that to build a world under God's grace, evil must be eradicated completely.
I've seen poverty, despair, and the kind of desperation that turns good men cruel.
But eradicating evil?
It's a dangerous path.
Who are we to decide who lives and who dies?
That's a power no one should wield.
And yet, evil does just that — decides who lives, who suffers, who dies.
Its eradication is not about playing God, but about preserving His creation.
If the world is to heal, to be truly just, there's no room for the White Legs of this
land, the Jokers of your city.
You're speaking of justice as an absolute, but the world is shaded in grays, not just
black and white.
If we adopt the methods of those we fight, do we not become like them?
My battle is for the heart of Gotham, not its throne.
I've walked through fire, physically and spiritually.
It's clear to me now that there are battles where the heart must be steeled, not just
shielded.
For Zion, for the remnants of New Canaan, true justice might demand more than what you're
willing to offer.
It's a delicate balance, Joshua.
I fight every night to maintain it.
The day I take a life is the day I surrender the essence of who Batman is.
There has to be another way — for both Gotham and Zion.
Perhaps in your world, Bruce, there's hope for such mercy.
But in the Wasteland, mercy often leads to more death, more suffering.
I respect your code, but I also know my responsibility — to my people and to the justice that this
land demands.
