[If he were to be truthful, saying this is a little hypocritical of him. The last man he "interrogated", he hung the man upside down and broke his arm, fractured a couple of his ribs. Landed him in the hospital.
But that was, as Alfred had been quick to tell him, going too far. In retrospect, that's not the kind of thing he wants to rely on, the kind of person he wants to become. Force and intimidation is one thing, cruelty is something else altogether. He still struggles with it, but being so far from home, Bruce tries to his best to remember the wisdom from that night.]
