   Summary

   Batman is retired, Bruce Wayne is making headlines with Gotham's new clean energy project, and the Joker has been locked up in Arkham for years.

   When Bruce discovers a man bearing the criminal's likeness in the middle of a publicity stunt, he can't help but be taken in. When this man becomes his own personal, guilty indulgence, Bruce decides it's better that no one's the wiser. When a certain someone using all the hallmarks of the Joker tries to lure the Batman out again, Bruce wonders if he should have reconsidered.
