Someone owns a pet python which has learned how to open doors. Sleep tight, everyone! (Except Kay. She'd love that.)

Also the Japanese word for fireworks is 'Hanabi', which is made of 'Hana' (flower) and 'bi' (fire). So essentially fireworks are 'fire flowers'. Japanese and German are the best languages for awesome compound words.

Dick Grayson -> Survived
Jason Todd -> Died (although was resurrected)

Damian Wayne -> Dead

Although Stephanie Brown did die, in the New 52 universe she doesn't exist, so she's not included ;D

Very random fact  :tongue2:

The character Vanellope von Schweetz from Wreck -It Ralph was written especially for Sarah Silverman (her voice actress) as Vanellope's character bears a resemblance to Sarah's child self (her glitch was that she wet the bed into her mid-teens. She also used to use a similar dialect and had very similar traits.)
