The Diary of Alferd Pennyworth
Sunday, March 7th.
A group of men calling themselves the "Calvary Charge" attempted to rob Gotham's first national bank which is located under the Kurbent Tower. Gotham PD arrived on the scene in a prompt fashion, surrounding the tower. This did not bother the Calvary Charge as they had no plans to leave the bank. At least, not on the ground floor.
No, the men took the elevator to the top of the tower where had several horses stagged. From there, they planned to leap from building to building. There, they encountered Batman.
Master Y/N was able to subdue three of the men. Using batarangs and well placed punches and kicks and whatnot. One man, however, his his colleagues off the roof. Y/N rushes to save this man which gave the escaping robber to flee.
Thankfully, I had been teaching young Y/N how to ride a horse.

Gotham is cursed, it seems.
After a series of odd occurrences and the appearance of a dragon, Batman had discovered that a sixteenth century wizard had laid a curse on the city. Today seems to have been the day this curse came into fruition.
I am glad to report that Gotham's ancient tribe had left behind a failsafe. An ancient sword forged in the very blood of the old wizard. I believe young Hel referred to it as, "Metal AF" or something of the sort. Batman retrieved the sword from the Gotham museum and prepared for the final battle.
This is, obviously, not Batman's first rodeo.
This is why I was surpised to see hesitation in his eyes before he departed. When I asked him for the reason for his mood, he resisted in telling me. Finally, I got him to open up.
"It is that word," he said. "That is in the curse. Hesitation."
When I asked him to elaborate, he did not respond. I am proud to say that he was able to slay the dragon with such ease that I am sure Master Bruce would be proud. When he came back, he was greeted by Miss Cain and their daughter from the future. Time travel. It was never an issue when it was just me and Master Bruce.
That night, we shared a cup of tea in the lounge. When I asked him if he felt like he was falling into the role of Gotham's protector, he simply looked at me with a fire in his eyes.
"When this city burns, I will not hold still."

About a year ago, UFA champion Henry Feder offered a $100 million purse, all to charity, for a chance to fight Batman. Over the year, Master Bruce had declined this offer. He then dissapeared and the identity fell upon young Y/N. For the year, the offer was politely ignored.
As time passed, Mr. Feder repeated this farce again and again. Noting that he was the undefeated champion in how many weight classes. A master of every known form of martial combat. Universally acknowledged as the greatest fighter in the history of his on any sport. Whatever that means. He easily dismissed any challenger all while shouting that only one man was worthy of his talent. Only one man might give him a few seconds of fun.
Master Y/N turned down these offers. He had much more on his plate to worry about some "no name". When his derisive calls were not answered, he resorted to childish taunts. I hesitate, myself, to repeat what he said here.
In the end, it came to calling Bataman a coward.
He insisted that Batman was a man who only harmed those unworthy of him. Untrained and undisciplined criminals. Mr. Feder claimed that Batman could not and would not fight his betters. As with his offers, rightfully so, these comments went unanswered.
However, a few months back, a video of Mr. Ferder went public. As is well known, the video showed Mr. Ferder's cruelty towards a female then identified as his girlfriend. There was an inquiry, but all were paid well to remain silent. It soon became clear that no consequences would be placed on Mr. Feder.
Master Y/N had called everyone to the Manor and told them something that made even me smile.
"I'm going to beat that man into the ground then melt his precious belts. The money goes to charity but the belt, that goes to her."
The entire Justice Leauge showed up to watch the fight and support their friend.
For Charity.
