'Violent.'
The word surfaced in Marcus' mind unbidden.
'What violence…'
Speechlessness followed, the kind born from sheer, disbelieving astonishment.

Then came the anger.
Two weeks.

Life with a father as strict as Giovanni Zatara, even with the ability to bend reality via oddly-spoken speech, could be unbelievably boring, which was why Zatanna had been grateful for the recent addition of Rowan to her life, if only because he made things more interesting.
And strange....

Arkham Asylum was a lot of things… It was dark, it was eerie, and so very often accompanied by the screaming and howling of the raving mad. As if the bloody shrieks of Arkham's regulars

For a city that’s synonymous with crime, grime, and gargoyles, Gotham sure cleans up nice when it wants to. The port district, for instance, could almost pass for a legitimate place of business if you squinted hard enough and, you know, ignored the perpetual saltiness in the back of one's throa...
