((Some time in the future, a series of voice recordings))
"Bruce... Bruce, it's Clark. I'm... I can't say how sorry I am. I know that none of us ever imagined that he would go so soon. In fact, I don't think any of us thought he ever would, not as full of life as he always was. You know if I could, he'd have the whole front page of every newspaper in the country tomorrow. I, uh... I'm sorry."

"Bruce, this is Diana. Please know that you have my deepest condolences. Dick was very special to all of us, as you know. You should also know that everyone is feeling his loss very deeply. Everyone, from the League to the Society and everyone in-between. He always did us and you especially great honor, and he died the same way. The world is safer, but sadder."

"Pick up. PICK UP. PICK UP, YOU HEARTLESS SONOFABITCH!
Roy, that's enough...
The hell it is, Donna! I'm leaving a voicemail, a fucking voicemail for him. Dick was his son! Everything he did, it was to make that bastard love him, and when all of Dick's friends are in one place, where the fuck is he? Hiding in his cave? Protecting his city? I-- Get your hands offa me, Vic!
Bruce, it's Donna. I apologize for Roy, he's... well, Roy's drunk. And frankly, so are a lot of people. And frankly, I think I might have a few drinks, too, because even if he's drunk, I think he's right. You really ought to be here."

"You have improved your security, Detective, else I would communicate this to you first-hand. You have my sympathies upon the demise of your ward. While Richard was never able to emulate you fully, he was in his own way as a fine successor to you as if he were your own son. I respected him, and you understand how high a compliment that is."

"Bruce...? Bruce, it's Kory.
...
Bruce, there's something I have to tell you. Dick, he... he only just found out before it happened, and so we didn't have time to tell you.
We've been back together for more than a year, which he never said to you, but you probably know. What you might not is... Dick and I...
You have a granddaughter. Her name is Mar'i. Mar'i Grayson."
