I have an important rhetorical question

So, okay, I'm in Germany right now, and I have in my possession a lovely volume of classic/definitive/representative-of-various-eras Batman stories translated into German. I did not actually buy this here--I saw it in a charity shop in Edinburgh and snapped it up with delight, thinking (correctly, as it turns out) that the comic-book format combined with the familiarity of the plots could help me start getting more comfortable with German. (By "getting more comfortable", mind you, I mean taking my German proficiency from a 0 to a 0+ rating--but I digress.)
ANYWAY, I was having a look at "Batman: Year One", which I'd never actually read. And my question is, is there really a panel in "Batman: Year One" where Jim Gordon talks to Harvey Dent and at the end of the scene we see that Batman was UNDER HARVEY DENT'S DESK?
I mean, really? Really, Frank Miller?

A nun. I mean... yeah.
oh frank miller no

(I was looking through Year One and at first when I saw the blonde female cop appear in the story, I was like, "Wait--that's a woman. With a job. A job that is not prostitution. What's she doing in the--oh, okay. She exists for the purpose of adultery. Okay, then. Almost lost my faith in Frank Miller for a minute there.")
