A nod.

If it ever came down to it back at home, she would fight him. She would fight him over the life of a villain, just as she would fight anyone else over a life. She would fight him and she would win or--

She would win. That is her determination. Just as he would know in his heart that he would win. And she knows that equally. They both believe and they both live their beliefs, give their all to them. But she can't tell him he's wrong. She can't tell him that the Joker should walk free or even live caged. She can't, because she knows what monsters are and she knows how resilient they can be. She knows her own father will never stop and she knows that she will always stop him but never how he wants.

The world is complicated and wonderful and terrible. She believes that too.

That's why she holds out a hand to Jason and offers him a tiny smile.
