  Summary

  Dick Grayson nearly died trying to avenge his parents five years ago. But now that Zucco is back in Gotham, Dick thinks that this is the perfect time to give vengeance a second try and nothing, not even a fictional “Batman”, is going to stop him.

  Or Bruce never told Dick that he was Batman to try and stop him from fighting crime. It didn’t work.
