Summary
Tim Drake would lie. Tim would cheat, blackmail, and manipulate his way through every corridor of power in Gotham’s rotting institutional framework.
He would steal Superman’s Phantom Zone schematics, fabricate eighteen months of research documentation, and open a correspondence with Ra’s al Ghul and mean every word of it.
Bruce Wayne’s model of Batman had failed. Thirty years of dead children, fourteen Arkham breakouts, and a city scarred by a war with no way out.
Tim was 26. He had been fighting wars since he was 13. He would go further than Bruce Wayne ever would, become CEO of Wayne Enterprises, and build a city that didn’t need Batman.
Tim would burn the cape itself if it meant he could finally retire.
(One exhausted Tim Drake who is absolutely not becoming Ra’s al Ghul and is very concerned that he might be.)
