   Summary

   Two men with busy lives somehow make time for each other. One is a grumpy billionaire who kicks the shit out of people at night while dressing up as a flying rat out of a sense of masochistic justice, and the other is an alien with equally questionnable wardrobe choices trying very hard to belong. They meet. They befriend each other. Their families befriend each other. Then what?

   Or, I made up my own SuperBat canon timeline out of my favourite narrative choices and now you'll endure a fifteen years long slow burn.
