What secrets could Bruce possibly have? Jason already knew the biggest one. The rest were too personal. Things that haunted him in his sleep and sometimes in his waking hours. Nothing he would want to burden someone else with if he could help it.

He doesn't say anything. Not for a while. But then he relents. "It's been almost 40 years since the Joker died. I thought the nightmare was over. Anyone that came after would never be what he was."

And for the most part, Bruce was right. Every rogue that rose up after his tenure and during Terry's had paled in comparison. It's why even after everything Bruce had wanted Terry to give the suit back. He didn't know if the Joker was an imposter or a clone, but it didn't matter. He was...Bruce didn't Terry to suffer the same way Tim had.

"I was wrong. He knew who I was and before I got here, he gassed me."
