"The very cops that hunted me down like a wild pig crawl to me for insight into the twisted criminal mind?"
Christopher Scheer aka The Mortician, Forever Knight, "Trophy Girl"

Barbara Gordon: I wasn't gonna mention this, but for cases like these, we've been using a consultant, a profiler. And we've gotten good results, but...you're not gonna like it.
Dick Greyson: Okay...
Barbara: You're really not gonna like it. (Beat) Scarecrow.
Dick: WHAT?
Barbara: Told you you wouldn't like it.
Dick: You know, Batman put him in Arkham years ago for a reason.
Barbara: Oh, he's still there. He's just helping us out on the side.
Dick: This is nuts. You're taking advice from a fսcking crazy person! (goes to walk out)
Barbara: It was Bruce's idea. (Dick turns to stare at her) He thought that Crane had value. And so far, he's been right. When it comes to profiling the criminally insane, I hate to admit it, but he's the best that we've got.
Titans (2018), "Red Hood"

Joker: [looking at the Riddler case file] Hmm... A present. Almost our anniversary, isn't it?
Batman: There's a serial killer. I want your perspective.
Joker: First anniversary is... paper. What makes you think I come so cheap?
Batman: I thought you'd be curious.
Joker: You think I get off on this stuff?
Batman: Don't you?

Will Graham: I don't even have any idea who this guy is. You know, that stuff I just gave them was broad strokes. He's got no face to me.
Jack Crawford: That's what you said about Garrett Hobbs, remember? And you figured him out.
Graham: No, I didn't.
Crawford: You didn't?
Graham: No, I was stuck on Hobbs. ...I had help.
Crawford: ...From Lecter.
Graham: Yeah...
[long silence]
Graham: ...Jack. Don't play games with me, man. Don't do it. If there's something on your mind, come out and say it.
Crawford: I'm just saying, maybe we've got a resource we ought to look into.
Graham: Is that what this has been about? Have you been walking me through the rest of this just so you could ask me that?
Crawford: Don't get mad at me, I'm just doing my job. If you know a better shortcut, let me know it. If you think there's any chance he'll talk to me, I'll go myself. If you tell me you can't handle it, God knows I'd understand that.
