to cheat, deceive, or trick
Etymology: 156575; perhaps < Old North French coçonner to resell, verbal derivative of coçon retailer (< Latin coctiōnem, accusative of coctiō, cōciō dealer), influenced by Middle French cousin dupe, literally, cousin
.
Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for the Day in a sentence.
The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.
The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-)

It’s kind of an odd twist for the character. He wasn’t anything like that in the comic. He was simply a juiced-up brute with above-average intelligence who wanted to take out Batman and own the city. He executed an elaborate plot to wear Batman down over several weeks, then broke Batman’s back, paralyzing him.
He was eventually defeated by Batman’s hand-picked replacement, Jean-Paul Valley, aka Azrael, an hypnotically-trained assassin for a secret religious order. Azrael predictably went apeshit and started killing criminals, something Batman would never do, so the real Batman had to take him down once he healed up.
Thank you!
I think the slash-and-burn tactics are soon to run out of kerosene and machetes-the lemmings seem to be getting a bit close to the cliff edge...
