Reviewing the murder cases in Bludhaven is time-consuming. There's a lot of data to read, a lot of forensic material plucked from the police systems because few are the eastern seaboard justice systems to which he has no access, and those he doesn't tap directly Oracle or her boy wonder can hack easily. His time off the streets is limited because the holiday season is also crime season in Gotham City: lots of goodies for people to buy means lots of goodies for villains to try to steal. He hasn't slept in a day, he hasn't showered or shaved in a day, and he hates Christmas with a fervor because it seems to brand all of Gotham with VICTIM HERE tags.

Jason isn't responsible for the crimes. In his heart, he's certain of it, but his mind wants a logical conclusion from data...and his mind never listens to his heart. Bruce minimizes the material on the murders and turns to the detailed plans he has labelled as FIRST AND TEN. The A-team is going on offense, and the team they're after will put up one hell of a defense. He polishes off his umpteeth cup of coffee and starts making notes on his front line, starting with Mr. Terrific.
