“Took ill on Thursday,” is how Solomon Grundy’s nursery rhyme goes.

An imposing figure stops in front of a store’s window, sleek red helmet reflecting the lights of the television screens on display; it’s another program retelling Black Mask’s ascension in the city’s underbelly on the never-ending news circle, Stephanie Brown’s publicized death at his hands nothing more than a mere footnote on the story of yet one more sadist with a gimmick.

Jason returns to Gotham on a Thursday, but he is under no delusion: he knows his city to have been sick for far, far longer than that.
