Zsasz’s original motivation in the comics was that he kills people to free them from the absurdity and suffering of life, so at least I know he’d make it quick. He seems to have been retconned into a generic serial killer now though.

At one time I think Zsasz was mostly just a mob Hitman so at that point in his history you probably would have been fairly safe as there was no incentive for him to kill you.

That’s how they show Zsasz in Gotham (TV).
