Badd snorts in disgust. "Oh, I'm sure he does. Doesn't mean he's right. Just means he's some scared, stupid man thinking he's the only person who can dish out justice. Why doesn't he go through the cops, huh? It's what we're here for." And he washes the lies down with half the can.

Because Batman knew what Badd did--that the police was rotten from tip to toe, that the whole city ran on money rather than democracy, and a business held far more sway over the courts than any innocent victim. The Yatagarasu had done what it could, making the corrupt affairs public, but it wasn't until Batman that anyone stepped up to handle it physically. For lighting a fire under people's tails, Badd's grateful to him.

Still a weirdo, though.
