    Summary

    /ækˈsizməs/
    noun
    1. when one feigns disinterest or indifference for something they desire
    2. a form of irony

    Example: Dick buys two birthday cards for Damian. One starts with “For my son,” and the other says “To a cool guy.” Dick gives Damian the latter, and keeps the former locked away. He doesn’t need to make this into something it’s not.

     

    Or, Dick is tasked with raising Damian in the wake of Bruce’s death. This is the fallout of their separation upon Bruce’s sudden and unexpected return.

    Summary

    Dick has been seeing Jason since the day he died. In the shadows of alleyways, in the Batcave, sitting at the foot of his bed. Not always the same Jason—sometimes he's twelve with scraped knees, sometimes seventeen and furious, sometimes the man he never got to see him become. But when a new player in Gotham starts calling himself the Red Hood, something changes. Suddenly, the Jason in Dick's head starts saying things he shouldn't know. Starts looking older. More solid. More real.

    Grief and guilt blur into obsession, and Dick starts to wonder if he's hallucinating a ghost—or being haunted by something worse.
