Nathaniel knew everyone in his family had secrets. As it happened, so did he.
Lately, though, he had some fuzzy little troubles.
According to the Gotham Gazette, not only were Dad and the Big Bat involved, but several of his brothers loved the Big Bat too (except his second brother, though he suspected that brother was just in denial).
How could he get his family's attention off the Big Bat?
Nathaniel fell into deep thought. His time at the distillery had taught him not to back down when trouble came: make a plan, then get it done!

Bat-Dad: ...
Former and current Robins: ...

Wait, why did it look like one of their kids was behind this?
