...I get the feeling you're not planning to go easy on me.

That look really isn't helping, in case you were curious.

[Batman with a student... that's something to think about. but she gets his attention with that--]

It's possible we haven't met if your theory is right. Are you associated with the GCPD?

In a manner of speaking. I am a reformed criminal who once went by the name of Harley Quinn.

[And now waiting for him to look at her with disapproval or going into flat-out rage. Which is pretty clear from her cringing after saying the name of her former alias.]

[commissioner]

[his brow might be arching a bit-- more in surprise than anything else, but none of the judgment is coming she might expect.]

It doesn't ring a bell... [but...]

Which I hope you won't take offense if I say might be a good thing. [it means if she's in his Gotham, either she hasn't become a criminal yet -- or she won't. if he hasn't heard the name then she hasn't been causing trouble.] Congratulations on your release. It's good to see you're making a better life for yourself.

Yes...a better life. Hopefully that will be true. I doubt Gotham will forgive and forget so easily.

[She sighs.]

You see the Joker is actually an intelligent individual that tricked a susceptible psychologist into loving him devotedly. His only failure was trying to kill me when he had no use for me, pulling the metaphorical rug out from under me. So I killed him to save my own life.

[it's hard to hide the surprise on his face-- honestly, that confession stuns him and he doesn't miss the implications of what she's suggesting.

...he has a feeling he shouldn't be satisfied that the Joker met his end, in a roundabout way, through his own arrogance. but he did.

he gathers his wits; that sounds... terrible to endure.]

I'm sorry, and I wish you the best of luck getting your life together. You were put in a position no one deserves to be in.
