Does it not occur to you that it may be for the better? I would prove beyond the shadow of a doubt what I chose and what matters to me, and there won't be anyone who can undo it. No more questions.

Just... peace.

Hmm, let's look at some of my alternatives.

I lose, and Father makes good on his statement that he will let Mother take me away again.

I win or lose and kill my brother. It would bet he third time I break my promise to Father. The last potential that he would trust me is gone.

I win or lose and go on to become the Batman from the future he saw, the one who let Gotham be poisoned by the Joker serum badly enough that an order to nuke it was justified.

I would say that, compared to some of the options, it is better if I die, defeating and destroying for good my Mother's plan.

Or you get help and be somewhere else when this happens or have people backing you up to avoid those ends.

Or any of a countless other possible realities.

I am the help they get. And I am not going in alone. Sometimes, it doesn't make any difference.
