"That's not Bruce's face. They look nothing alike."

I love this line so much! That idea that it's the light behind the eyes that matters, and the idea that Clark could never be taken in by an imposter even if all of Gotham was...

Perhaps they would tell him more, like why the alien was so sure Damian's father had always trusted him, even when others doubted him, or why he mourned his loss in silence.

I really love this last line--Damian the budding detective, reading everyone's nonverbals even when he can't understand the context of it all, and how he's starting to draw some counter-intuitive conclusions...

"I can't be Bruce Wayne. He lives in the Wayne Tower's penthouse with his sons and his butler. I've seen him. Actually, I've been investigating a plot to kill him."

I hadn't really thought about how Hush might throw off Oberon!Bruce (if it is him) and keep him from reaching a conclusion like that! "Sometimes I think...but no, Bruce Wayne is right here and not dead, so..."

feeling another part of himself realign with time, memories becoming one fluid story that kept pointing to this moment in time, and the next, and the next.

I really really love these last lines! They work so well at a meta level too, how the character of Batman inevitably assimilates whatever happens and makes it part of himself (he's already lived so many lives in canon what with weird glitches like Absolute Power!) and moves on!

Also: red sunglasses for the win! :)

Clark would never confuse Hush with Bruce! ahhhh! :S the idea of Clark not being able to tell Azrael is not Bruce makes me so wibbly. Of course Clark would know! though, in some ways, I guess it just speaks of how they have gotten closer? from not being able to tell if it's Bruce's voice or not, to memorizing his DNA?

I love how Damian is being all RARR BUT I HATE DETECTIVE WORK in Batman and Robin. Don't ask the runt to slow down! he's busy hacking and slashing! lol, he's clearly a very smart young man, but I think all the Robins (with the possible exception of Tim, but even Tim) find the detective stuff the most cumbersome? sitting down to think, instead of punching people in the face! dang! But Damie will get there, like they all did! <3 besides, he has a complete different set of 'defaults' for reading non verbals and such, being raised so different... (UBU!)

I keep thinking.. if Oberon is Bruce, I could see him being a bit obsessed over Batman and Robin and Bruce Wayne and not being sure why, himself! DAMN YOU, HUSH.

I'm so glad you liked the ending! you know it gave me trouble, the evil thing, I'm so happy in the end the boys got their smooching. I wouldn't have figured it out without your help! +snugs+ thanks for being an awesome beta and sounding board and and and yes! :D

Bruce's CSI Miami moment cracked me up. Yeaahhh! X)
