One child is dead, but: "You could probably just drop in on Richard sometime. The trick would be not mentioning me, and I taught him how to be a detective."

Nightwing is not as brutally effective as Batman, but he's just as smart, and also emotionally insightful. The horror.

Bruce watches that kiss to his hand, and squeezes in response. He waits a moment before leaning in to replace it with his mouth against Clark's, a little more intent than just soft. But only a little.

"I was a different person, then. You might have liked that man better." A beat, and, "Though I still didn't like anybody."
