Later in the series, it is revealed that Ducard is largely amoral, working for criminals as often as he does the law. He deduces Batman's identity, but keeps it to himself, thinking to himself as he leaves that Batman continues to exist because true criminals realize that he distracts the people from the greater crimes by his public battle of lesser crimes.
