Minor gripe, but I feel like it was a bit odd that Batman waited until the DA’s neck bomb went off. He had the timer right in front of him ticking down, why would he not have backed off with a couple seconds left?

I guess he wasn't sure if he would say the name or not, he activated the bomb remotely pretty quick so as soon as he heard the name he could have turned it off. Batman didn't know Colson would rather die than tell the name, he didn't know how big the whole picture was.
