Deathstroke #41 (2019) - "Presumed Innocent"

[laughing_tree]

The price of having justice in the world is guys like Deathstroke, because justice demands due process and legal proof. We don’t just lock up the villains and throw them in Guantanamo Bay without charge. That would be vigilantism, not justice. A guy like Slade, he’s an expert at not getting caught, and he’s got a lot of money, just like Bruce Wayne, and he has a bunch of lawyers that can get him off. That’s kind of thematically what’s going on in the book, and that’s what really I felt was a real challenge to write. -- Christopher J. Priest

The disconnect between the restraint of comicbook cops and what we see in the real world has to be one of the most jarring things in fiction

I so, so hate the thing where characters just spout philosophy quotes in their dialogue. Especially when they aren't philosophers, which is usually.
