The exercise goes beyond enjoyment. One might say it has become a discipline. The weights in the gym are available to stretch his muscles. The newspaper opened in front of him is there to expand his knowledge. Knowledge of what? Gotham and the people that call it home. He pays especially close attention to the reports of criminal activity. He forces himself to read the social pages.

Even in the middle of a hot Gotham summer, the library is cool. The fireplace will not see use for another couple months. He'll sit in the leather chair another half an hour before discarding the spent paper on the side table.
