He’s talking to Batman in an interrogation room.

“Don’t talk like one of them. You’re not! Even if you’d like to be. To them, you’re just a freak, like me! They need you right now, but when they don’t, they’ll cast you out, like a leper! You see, their morals, their code, it’s a bad joke. Dropped at the first sign of trouble. They’re only as good as the world allows them to be. I’ll show you. When the chips are down, these… these civilized people, they’ll eat each other. See, I’m not a monster. I’m just ahead of the curve.”

Was it? Maybe i’m misremebering but i think the moral person was in the prisoners boat. In the “civilized people” boat they handed the detonator to a guy who said he would do it because he was willing to but then chickened out.

You’re correct, and it only proves the point harder.
