Summary
Koev Li Halev: Hebrew, lit. “my heart hurts”. Used to express one’s empathy for someone or something, especially one in pain or a sad event.
“So, in a quiet corner of the Ashinaka Highschool grounds, far enough away so as not to impede the students’ commute or study, but close enough it wouldn't be too inconvenient to visit, Kurou began building a shrine.”

Summary
“Gotham likes Bruce Wayne.
Her Children whisper about him often. Horrible, vicious, lewd and a few good things from the Screaming, Searing Sunlight, but so many good and wondrous things from Her Children, the Whisperers in the Shadows. Though, most of them whispered about The Bat—a shroud he’d donned in order to help his Siblings—there were good things murmured about the efforts of Bruce Wayne. Airhead boy-billionaire with a perfect smile and a bleeding heart.”
Gotham is alive, and though young when compared to others like her, she is far from weak.

Summary
In the wake of Shie’s Hassaikai’s disbandment and Overhaul’s imprisonment in Tartarus, U.A. High School prepares for its annual cultural festival. But first, the U.A. executives think a Hero Course field trip is in order – after their recent brush with organised crime, the students need to be prepared in the event such an organisation rears its head in the future.
So, who do they turn to? Yokohama’s Armed Detective Agency, of course! After all, Organised Crime is their forte.
Meanwhile, in the shadows of Japan’s Gangster’s Paradise, evils lurk and converge.

Summary
The CIA tries to kill Clark Kent, not because they know he's Superman, but because he's a really good journalist. They keep making it look like an accident, but every plan fails. It's a comedy as the CIA can't figure out why their attempts always go wrong.

Summary
Damian's first impression of his father's ancestral home—and thus, by extension, of his own—is of cold. His second, coming immediately after the first, is of a kind of wretched, clinging dampness. The house, barely visible through the driving rain, lurks like a great lumpen beast on the lawns, less a house than an assemblage of wings and awnings and spires, windows scattered willy-nilly across its front.

Summary
Things that cannot be explained away: bloodshot eyes, six-second counts for every inhale and exhale, and the fact that he cannot walk through his own Cave without flinching at the sound of the bats roosting above him.
(or, Bruce Wayne grits his teeth through seven doses of Scarecrow's fear toxin and deperately pretends to be okay around the Batfamily)
