Bruce isn't even thinking of jail. It's so not a viable option to him that, like Hayley, he finds the entire idea pointless. Even Fury wouldn't be able to contain him in prison forever, whatever cage he thinks he has, and in a place like this where death is frequently impermanent, it seems fruitless to try. That doesn't mean Bruce is going to give up on the idea that murderers should face consequences; no, it just says to him that he needs to be more... inventive.
But he's spent the past decade going to extreme lengths to prevent others from being harmed. One person who got lucky with a power swap, and notably isn't the Hulk? He's not phased at all.
All that races through his head in another moment of obvious thought, before it breaks and he scrapes his hand through his hair. "Okay. So. Whoever this is... we can't use the method he killed with as an effective identifier. That's not what he's normally capable of. Actually that's, that's promising."
Looking more through her than at her, Bruce is rapidly getting lost in a whirl of ideas about things he could make, likely with Tony's help. He'd never think of leaving him out of this.
"If that was a rare opportunity for him," which is supported by the fact that there hasn't been a huge string of murders afterwards, "then he's not as hard to restrain as Superman. Maybe we could make something, build something, I don't know. But we need a plan for what we're doing with him after we find him, before we do it."
