    Summary

    When he’s thirteen, and there’s other kid heroes popping up, and the Justice League is starting to reckon with whether they’re okay with any kid being a hero at all, Clark talks to him. That’s how Dick realises.

    They go to a diner. They always go to a diner, when Clark wants to talk. Clark feels safe being emotionally vulnerable in diners for reasons Dick can’t piece together yet.

    "It was your idea," Clark asks, once the waitress has brought their food, enough other people already eating to create a comfortable background hum of noise, "Wasn’t it? Being Robin?"

    Summary

    Tim shrugs. “I know his limits. Sometimes he just needs a little push in the right direction.”

    “A push,” Damian echoes incredulously. “Jason Todd needs a push. The Red Hood. The same one who tried to kill you a couple years ago.”

    “You’ve also tried to kill me, to be fair.”

    “To be fair, it would not be wise for you to push me, either.”

    After an injury benches Tim for a few months, he and Damian are forced to cohabitate until Tim recovers. Along the way Damian learns that there’s a lot he doesn’t understand about Tim Drake, starting with his total lack of self-preservation.

    Summary

    “I’ll start with the bad news,” announced Bruce, where he sat perched on the solitary bench under the bus stop cover. “Gotham does not exist in this universe.”
    “This is not bad news,” said Damian.
    “Instead,” Bruce continued, heedless of any comments, “I have identified another city on the Eastern seaboard that is a slant rhyme for Gotham, features large Italian and Irish populations, and whose only significant cultural export is unlistenable grunge music. I have elected, therefore, to build a new mansion in Boston.”

    "Batman Takes Boston! is action-packed, filled with the grit and harsh reality that audiences come to superhero movies to see." --Zack Snyder

    "Five Stars. I laughed, I cried, I shipped up to Boston." --James Gunn

    "If you like Batman, this sure is a movie!" --John Waters

    Bruce shows up at Selina's apartment after being exposed to a toxin and an antidote. He is...not handling either well. Fortunately, Selina is kind of a nice person and won't tease him about it later...too much.
