Summary: “Where’s this place, exactly?” asked Jeremiah, as Bruce backed them into the street and sped off. “Midtown,” Bruce replied, swerving to avoid a cluster of people that looked somewhat unruly. “Are you going to tell me what these accommodations are?” Jeremiah pressed. “Safe house?” “Penthouse,” Bruce corrected, taking the next turn at breakneck speed. “My city residence.” Jeremiah sat back and lifted the handkerchief, eyeing the bloodstain. At least none was fresh. “You sure know how to show a guy a great time,” he deadpanned, suddenly feeling drained.

Recommendation: So I remember when they introduced Jerome, but Bruce was still quite young and Jerome was so very . . . Jerome. But then, oh then, they introduced his twin Jeremiah and suddenly there was a whole new wrinkle to the Batman/Joker dynamic. They were friends, albeit briefly, and suddenly the ship set sail like so many other foe yay ships before (Clex, Cherik, Gobblepot). Irisbleufic always writes good stuff so I was very interested in their take on these two, and I was not disappointed. I love that Jeremiah chooses to be on Bruce's side rather than go along with Dr. Bashir, I mean, Ra's al Ghul.
