Yes. Knights. Of course it needs other things too. Probably more than they need knights. But I'm good at being that. But I know there are many things smart people can do that are much more helpful than me in my armor.
Oh my... You're actually serious. The only people who even get knighted anymore are people the Queen likes, and that's just in jolly old England. They definitely don't do anything chivalrous.
[ He's not going to mention he's also from 2075. You know. No one needs small details like that. ]
And all the Crusaders were knighted before stepped foot into that first battlefield. It was for both the PR and for a sense of being something greater than ourselves.
So I take it you are fine with all of this? Completely. [As opposed to being only fine with it because you have NO OTHER CHOICE. Ed would never consider the void of space a preferable option, but he'd also prefer Arkham over the void of space.
I was already in the middle of a fresh start. This was a setback.
[In fact, it feels almost pointed. Ed sets his jaw and tries not to look put-upon about the question.] I heard that sometimes... people who were dead end up here too. That seems illogical. I wanted to see for myself.
[He wants to know if Isabella is here... Or Oswald, and while the urge to pull the plug on him is there, he wants him to see that he was wrong about how happy he and Isabella could be.
Or, if nothing else, he wants him to see The Riddler in action... before he kills him. Again.]
I like to think of it more as an unlimited opportunity.
[ another chuckle. if no one knows who you are, aren't you free to do anything? ]
I'd say we passed "logic" right when we got to the part about the entire planet being destroyed, and then all of us ending up rescued by hyper-advanced beings. So, the dead coming back to life? Stranger things have happened.
[ even back home, things could get weird. but this really was something else.
not that he'd ever let anyone know it impacted him. ]

[ that's a lie. he has a number of concerns, but for the time being, he's keeping them to himself. ]
And here we are, all able to have a fresh start if we want it.
[ another thing he doesn't really care about. but while he waits for the one person who really matters to wake up, he might as well enjoy himself. ]
But that brings us back to, you. Who were you looking for in here?
