Commissioner Gordon: So you were with your brother at the time of the murders? What were you doing?

Tim: We were…buying.. alpacas

Commissioner Gordon: You were buying alpacas?

Tim: For our alpaca farm

Commissioner Gordon: You have an alpaca farm?

Tim: Well not yet, that’s why we were buying them

Commissioner Gordon: You know what? I have 5 other suspects to interview. Good luck with your…alpaca farm, Tim

Tim: Thanks Commissioner

*Gordon leaves*

Jason, walking out of the closet, holding the leash of an alpaca: Are we good?

Tim: Yep!

Jason: Good. I killed a lot of people for these alpacas

Batman, to Jim Gordon, on a rooftop: You have a daughter.

Gordon: ... Yeah

Batman: [prolonged silence]

Gordon: [quiet sigh]

Batman, lowering his voice: What do you do when she stands?

Gordon: [baffled whisper] What?

Batman: . . . What do you do when she stands there, looking at you as if she has something to say, but doesn't? Or as if she's waiting for you to reply to a question she didn't ask?

Gordon, normal volume: What?

Batman: 🧍‍♂️

Gordon: Um. When she does that, it's because she's messing with me. I usually speak first, ... but ... since you're you, waiting for them to--speak first works, too. ??

Batman: Thank you.

Gordon: You're welcome. [head shake of disbelief]

[A day and a night later]

Dick: 🧍‍♂️

Bruce:

[10 minutes later]

Dick: [head tilt, underwhelmed sigh, walk away]

[that night]

Batman: 🧍‍♂️

Gordon: What?

Batman: It didn't work.

Robin: 😁 What didn't work??

Gordon: Mmm.

Batman: [nod]

Batman is generally not seen in daylight hours. If he ever is, shit is truly going down. However, there is an exception to the rule and the other Bats fall under the rule as well. It all started when Gordon was walking Bats through the follow up after a child trafficking ring and discussing the upcoming case. Gordon admits that the kids have to testify in person and whilst their abusers won't be in the room, they're still afraid and reluctant. Batman was quiet for a long while before asking if he could sit in the courtroom. He won't interfere or anything that will jeopardise the case, he will just sit where the kids can see him? So they know they're going to be safe? And it works. Bats does it a few times and sometimes, if the kids or victims ask, they can have Nightwing or Robin or Batgirl or Spoiler or Red Robin, some kids even want Red Hood because he's bigger and tougher than the people that hurt them. You will never see the Bats arrive and after the trial is over, you won't find Batman or his Bats lingering. They simply appear and vanish.

Comm. Gordon: Who are you?

Dick: Red Hood. He's one of our criminal consultants.

Comm. Gordon: Hood. Not familiar with that name.

Dick: It's probably for the best.

I love whenever Jim Gordon is like a noir cop: he's smoking his cigarette, he's drinking a glass of bourbon, he's cheating on his wife, and then here comes batman ruining everything and now he's in a cape comic
