Batman vs. Robin Page #3

---

who dares to even mention their existence?

Mm-hm.

Absolutely not.

Mm.

But what if it is?

It's just a story, Bruce.

There's no Court of Owls.

It's not real.

And even if it was...

...do you think we'd ever let anything bad

happen to you?

No. Never.

I promise.

Your mother and I will always be here

to protect you.

I believed it. I really did.

I thought it was the

Court that killed them.

And I made up my mind to find them...

...and make them pay for what they'd done.

I knew that Harbor House

was the Court's headquarters.

I watched them.

The richest men in Gotham,

the most powerful.

And if I searched long enough...

...I'd find proof.

And did you?

No, Alfred.

Dad was right.

It was just a story.

It was just a story.

We all look for meaning behind

the tragedies that befall us.

And sometimes the meaning is there.

But sometimes, Master Bruce...

...terrible things just happen.

No sinister plots. No secret societies.

They just happen.

I'm sorry, Kory, really,

but I'm stuck babysitting.

No, I'm not kidding. You're wearing what?

The red one? With the lace?

And the thong?

Please. Don't tell me any more.

Tomorrow night, I promise.

We'll...

Bruce is gonna bust a blood vessel.

Master Dick, it's Batman. He needs you.

Please don't hurt him.

You bastard.

No.

How about a dance, old lady?

Mind if I cut in?

Grab your husband and go.

Get up so I can hurt you some more.

Enough, man. We give up.

Who said surrender was an option?

What are you waiting for, Robin?

Men like this don't deserve to live.

I won't finish it for you this time.

The decision has to be yours.

Wait.

Who are you?

My name is Talon.

Come on.

What is this place?

Home.

You can speak freely here.

My respect for Batman

and all he's achieved is high.

But there are lines he won't cross.

Perhaps out of fear

or some misguided moral code.

There are no lines I won't cross

in order to reach my goal.

So you've come to Gotham to...

To do what Batman refuses to do.

Eradicate crime and criminals

once and for all.

No lines. No limits.

No rules.

You're saying the end

always justifies the means?

If the goal is a worthy one.

Who decides what's worthy?

That takes an exceptional human being.

Like you?

And you.

Keep it.

A gift.

Why me?

We're kindred spirits.

I've been watching you for some time.

I want you to join me.

And if I say no?

When you've made your decision,

use this to contact me.

It's not a tracking device.

Feel free to give it a thorough inspection.

I will.

Oh, and one last thing.

Don't tell him about me.

Not a word.

Where were you?

What happened to you? Are you okay?

You don't get to ask questions.

- Now, where the hell were you?
