Commissioner Gordon: If I shine this light into the sky, a man dressed like Dracula shows up.
Internal Affairs Investigator: I’m not sure how that’s a good use of tax doll-
Commissioner Gordon: He brings us lots of inadmissible evidence.
Are you fucking kidding me? You know how this would actually go?
Commissioner Gordon: *slaps roof* You know how much overtime I don’t have to pay on account of this bad boy?
Internal Affairs Investigator: Yeah, but still–
Commissioner Gordon: I just turn it on, and instead of paying a whole precinct time-and-a-half to never see their families, a guy dressed as a bat punches whoever we’re looking for a bunch of times and dumps them in the parking lot.
Internal Affairs Investigator: That’s not–
Commissioner Gordon: Sometimes I fire it up just to see who we get. It’s like having a cat that brings you guys with twenty warrants out for their arrest instead of dead birds.
Internal Affairs Investigator: Okay, but you can’t tell people that. Like, we can’t say it out loud.
Commissioner Gordon:
So I shouldn’t have told the FBI they could borrow it if they ever feel like clearing their most-wanted list?
People tend to forget why Gordon even looks towards a vigilante and his vigilante family.
Guy who beats up those criminals is less likely to be on the take.
Internal Affairs Investigator: This is so illegal.
Commissioner Gordan: Yeah well my city get regular visits from a terrorist with a fear toxin, a guy in a suit with a fetish for flightless birds and a clown who gases half my precinct for a joke all while I’d bet the other half take bribes. I’ll take whoever I can fucking get.
