   Summary

   Bruce Wayne is already 34; soon, he’ll be 35. And then? Well, let the 40s come, the 50s, along with the white hairs and the chronic pains. And yet, one thing does not change: he is still mentally ill, depressed in an existential way.
   He is no longer a teenager; the world does not forgive him for being depressed. Someone his age with this kind of thought, with the suicidal ideation, the urge to self-harm, it’s almost pathetic.

    

   When his patheticness begins to jeopardize the Justice League, Clark Kent, his brilliant Superman, gets involved.
