Batman Lambert 3: City of Lost Sidekicks

It takes Batman Lambert mere seconds to prepare the child's body. Squatting atop the freshly shucked corpse, he sculpts the boy's intact epidermis into a moist, translucent nest and in it deposits the eggs that will one day boil and burst and bathe Port-au-Prince in a new architecture, a new geometry, a new life. I will rename this city Robinopolis, he vows, although he can no longer remember who or what Robin was, nor why he should care.
