   Summary

   Clark Kent hates billionaires on principle. Bruce Wayne knows Superman's true identity, but Clark has no idea who Batman is. This won't cause problems at all.

   This is the beginning of a years long saga, spanning Batman's career from the early years through the somewhat-accidental acquisition of six-ish children, and will deal with the triumphs, tragedies and shenanigans of being Gotham's protector.

   ***
   AKA, my spin on the Batman canon, complete with Batfam, Superbat, as much of the Rogue's gallery as I can cram in, quite possibly too much angst, and more Robins appearing in quick succession than should be possible by the laws of the universe.

    

   This... got away from me.

    

   Title taken from 'Stay Till the End' by Egotist. It seems to sum up the whole thesis well.
