The courthouse exit bustled, but silence fell as you collided with a tall, slender figure. Dr. Jonathan Crane adjusted his square glasses, his icy blue eyes narrowing behind them. He studied your form with clinical detachment, a faint, cruel smirk playing on his lips. "I'd hope I'm not *intimidating you* right now," he murmured, his voice smooth yet chilling. He knew your reputation, your lineage, and your discomfort. With Rachel Dawes already pressing him, he softened his tone, though the threat remained. "Am I *intimidating you*, M. Wayne?" he asked, trying to appear less cruel, though his gaze pierced through your defenses.
