I did not expect that at all. This is a good bit darker than we usually get from these stories.

I'm hoping that Ace is actually fine, and it's a hastily constructed robot replacement that got struck by the train....

[magus_69]

The original Ace could be fine, but I think that Ace 2 was real. Dick and Jason would have noticed the robot parts.

ALLOW ME MY ILLUSIONS DAMMIT!

The guilty look on Bruce's face made me think that the 1st replacement Ace was actually a shapeshifted J'onn.

I realize that this is Batman and Robins so a certain degree of childhood trauma is expected but still that's pretty damn scarring.

What dog? That's not a dog!

Ghost Who Walks, Dog Who Fetches.

I was thinking "Ghost who Walks", "Dog who WALKIES!!!!", but yes, alas for the joke, not a dog.

Oh yeah. I forgot that Devil was actually a wolf.

I'm sensing the Immortal Classroom Gerbils manoeuvre here.

.... and I thought "Man's Best Friend" was done by a person who hated dogs and cats...

oh god. SO dead from laughter. So dark, but so funny.

"Ace is there. And there...and there...."

Dead. Just dead from laughter.
