The Bat of Gotham

Summary:Bruce has called a meeting in the Bat Cave in which he reveals that injuries he has sustained are forcing him to retire and he wishes to pass down the mantle of Batman. Quote Preview:There was a stern throat clearing that cut off all chatter. Every pair of eyes instantly focused on Bruce. Selina had snuck in at some point and was standing behind her husband. Her hand was resting on his shoulder as he sat. Unsurprisingly, there was something about the way she carried herself that told Cassandra she knew what was going on. “Thank you all for coming,” Bruce said, his eyes scanning the table as he mentally took attendance. They could practically see him checking everyone’s names off a metaphorical list. “I’m sure all of you have expected there will be an announcement tonight,” he explained. Each of them silently agreed and were bracing themselves for whatever was going to come out of his mouth next. “Due to the nature and severity of my injuries, it has become increasingly clear to myself, Selina, Alfred, and assumedly all of you, that I must retire from field work.”
