I'm not running for office...

Agent: Tide is turning. People are getting nervous about vigillantes roaming
the streets, taking the decisions and the glory out of the hands
of the suits in power. The police or political figures?

Green Arrow: I'm not running for office. I'm just putting bad guys
in jail.
Agent: Well, it's gonna get tougher the longer you and
your little league of heroes stay half in, half out. Scared to act?

Is the agent suggesting that they should completely ig

You got it. Green Arrow and his league are the vigilantes. But the agent is actually one of the
bad guys and before that he made an offer to Green Arrow only to join him.

So "half in, half out" simply refers to Green Arrow's picking his battles, rather than trying to take over the whole city.
It seems like the agent is deliberately misstating the situation a bit.
