In the end, Jason took Shane to the Batcave.
Batman was gone anyway, so why let everything in the cave go to waste? Whenever Jason needed equipment, he either had to steal it from a backup Batcave or make it by hand at a cramped little table. That was no way to treat himself.
Besides, Wilson's disappearance was far too serious for Jason and Shane to handle alone.
Even the entire Batman Family couldn't handle it. They would need to bring in the Justice League again.
After analyzing the situation, Jason concluded that Joker taking Wilson wasn't actually all that urgent, objectively speaking.

Shane struck hard and fast. Once he identified his enemy, he generally didn't consider letting them live for even another breath.
He went straight in to vent his anger. If the enemy happened to survive, he could ask a few questions afterward.
He wasn't like them. Even Jason, the most violent of the bunch, would interrogate people when the situation called for it.
"All I can say is that this world is full of surprises."

Naturally, Shane hadn't given it another thought.
He simply couldn't imagine how someone as fundamentally good-natured as Wilson could turn evil without Vundabar's scheming.
Besides, he'd
