Nobody's said Alan??? Alan.

Man, I wish this were the meme that asked about the last thing your character did, because Alan's last act was to FIGHT WITH BRUCE WAYNE ABOUT MONORAILS.

[dien]

Hahaha, nice. ...why monorails

[3pipeproblem]

That's what Alan keeps asking himself.

(They're reopening the Gotham monorail and he's being forced to attend. Also Bruce bought him a year-long monorail pass when he started bitching about public transportation.)

[dien]

Well, that'll do it.

ARE YOU GOING TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS WITH ALAN OR NOT

[3pipeproblem]

GENIUS TAKES TIME

I WILL DO THEM ALL, BUT NOT ALL AT ONCE

(a)

Well, I have a ton of Alan fanon--the trick is finding some I haven't shared with you.

1. His father's name was Nathaniel (never Nathan, which of course meant that when Alan got to be a teenager he would take to referring to him as "good old reliable Nathan"). He was a psychologist who made his living administering intelligence tests and the like to prospective employees of various companies. He was always frustrated by and more than a little resentful of the work he wound up doing--it wasn't as interesting or creative as he'd have liked it to be.
2. Alan's wife died in a car accident. She was at fault. There were two boys (teenagers) in the other car--one lived and one didn't. Alan sometimes wondered (and would wonder still, if he permitted himself to think about it) if it could have been a suicide.
3. He was a vegetarian for about two or three weeks in law school, because his girlfriend at the time was (he was much more malleable in those days).
