Literally on the town, as I plan to be gathering intel for a bust tonight, and my chosen point of view is the top of a building. Ha. I'm hilarious.

Man, I'd kill for a burrito. Or, well, I guess that's not a big stretch for me these days. I'd... not-kill for a burrito? I don't know, man, I just really want a burrito, but I'm stuck on this roof until the dirtbags I'm watching are done for the night.

I'm gonna dream about burritos, I can just feel it.

Would you like me to bring you a burrito, Jason?

I've gotten a bit faster since you...well, since you were away, let's say. She's doing well. We're married now, actually.

What are you on surveillance for? Anything specific?

Or we could arrest them and turn them over to the proper authorities, after we have enough confirmation and evidence to get them convicted. "Busting heads" isn't the way we do things, Jason.

That's not the Jason I remember. Does Bruce know what you're doing?

Bruce understands we have to let the justice system do it's job, even if we don't always agree with it, and that there is a thin line between what we do and being a vigilante or criminal. I know it's not always easy to do, but if you don't, you may end up on the wrong side of the battle.

The rules aren't just there to keep you from being a murderer, Jason. They're also there to keep you from becoming a tyrant. Declaring yourself judge, jury, and executioner is no way to earn people's trust. Not Bruce's, not the people of Gotham, not the League's, and not mine.
Especially not mine.

The best solution isn't killing, the best solution is reformation. Fighting and taking down criminals directly may seem like the best solution, but it's not. Working with the police and government to improve the prisons and justice system is the better option. It may not get results as quickly, but the results last longer.
I'm not going to stop you from taking care of these alleged dealers, Jason. It's not my place to. But as a friend, I'm telling you that if you keep dishing out your own brand of justice, you're going to be marked as a criminal or a madman too. I would rather not see things come to that.
Lois is waiting for me in Metropolis. Enjoy your burrito, and stay safe.
