There's a point... far out there when the structures fail you, when the rules aren't weapons anymore, they're... shackles, letting the bad guy get ahead. One day... you may face such a moment of crisis. And in that moment, I hope you have a friend like I did... to plunge their hands into the filth so that you can keep yours clean!

— Commissioner Gordon
