“We stood up on two legs
And raised our heads above golden grass
He was there

We sharpened stone and steel
Used tools to harvest grass, beast and brother
He was there

We clustered together
In brick and mud swarming with rats and plague
He was there

We built nations and mistrust
Our fingers hovered over the red button
He smiled

Still we build
To rise above the golden grass
Away from the reach of his scythe

When he will harvest no more”

― Tim Seeley

“I keep thinking about Bruce. About how he saved me. About what he taught me. We both lost our parents to crime. We both wanted justice. Where Bruce was on his own, I had him. He gave me everything he could, so I wouldn't become him. He didn't want me to live in the shadows. To walk the line that he does. He didn't want me to be stuck in one moment. One place. Like him.”
― Tim Seeley, Nightwing, Vol. 1: Better than Batman
