Usually, she hit hard and fast in interrogations, digging for details ruthlessly, twisting suspects around their stories until they recanted and blurted out the truth. Interviewing Kal about this was different; there was no way she could hit him that would hurt more than he already was.

"And faced with that city-wide destruction, the death of all those people you swore to protect... Tell me how you found the Joker. Take me step by step through what happened."
