[ Good. Because Tim's Achilles Heel has always been getting lost in his own head, getting carried away with high ambition. The kind of stuff that gives him all the potential Bruce saw in him. Not just a great capacity for good, but as a different Batman has shown... a great capacity for evil. And if Ann saved Tim once, she can save him again. Plus, why would he resent the idea of her sending memes every twenty minutes? ]
Funny, I was just about to say.
There's always more you can teach me, too.
