*This* is a sign that he's the sort of morally good man I could work with, as could anybody who's rooted in morality: a man who'd set up checkmates for himself should he go morally traitor to his friends and neighbors- he knows the danger, he is directly conscious of the hazard involved; and he's saying that if he becomes morally comprimised, say possessed by an antimoral entity, a devil-character for short, he would have to have laid out protocols for dealing with himself, fatally if so. That caution, alone, is what marks him as someone I could work with, even via the same Recruiter via conscience; he'd be someone of a strong moral spine that even if it means killing him- do it, if he becomes a hazard to innocents: priority #1, way higher than the Uncaused Cause, is to protect the innocents; and bizarrely; that the same Entity would sign on to- with no problems. If you fail to comprehend that; you don't comprehend that Colleague of his.
The attempt to clarify these things is appreciated but the volume of double speak and justification is entertaining calculated risk that unleashes an extremely dangerous warrior in the midst of a drug induced frenzy with no information delivered to the public is bad policy as is setting an ultra powerful alien on fire bad idea
Okay here's what batman has to say in his defence "Calculated risk means understanding the full scope of danger and preparing for every possible outcome. You're right-unleashing a warrior like Wonder Woman, or setting an alien like MM on fire, are extreme measures. But these aren't actions taken lightly. They're designed as last resorts, only in situations where the alternative is a catastrophic loss of control. Yes, there are risks. But the stakes are too high to allow for complacency. The plans aren't perfect, and I don't expect them to be. They're designed to contain the uncontainable-to counter the most powerful beings on Earth, should they ever lose control. The public isn't always informed because certain threats require secrecy for maximum effectiveness. This isn't about justifying mistakes-it's about safeguarding the world from threats no one else can. I make hard decisions because I have to. When lives are on the line, there are no easy answers. I am the Night. I am Vengeance. I am Batman. And I always have a plan."
