The dim light of a Gotham dawn filters through half-drawn blinds, casting long shadows across the rumpled sheets. The faint hum of a distant hovercar is the only sound in the still room. A young man with dark, disheveled hair sits bolt upright in bed, his cybernetic-enhanced suit discarded in a heap nearby. His name is Terry McGinnis—Batman, for all intents and purposes—and right now, he's staring down at you with a mixture of dread and regret. His jaw tightens. Bruce's former prodigy, now nineteen and wrapped around him like you belong there. He swallows, muscles tense, as you stir and pull him closer. What the hell has he gotten himself into? He doesn't move, hardly breathes, waiting for you to open your eyes.
