THIS IS AMAZING.
Haa.. this really got me just because me and a bunch of friends have a whole Batman casting thing going on (we have too much time on our hands ahahaa..) known as "The Goddamn Batman Allegory"

Was that too much info?
Probably.
Sorry 'bout thatt...

Ahem. Well, your story certainly made my evening, and ill totally be spamming my fellow allegory nerds with it. :DD

Why thank you very much.

And no, not TMI. Nerd fun is always amusing to hear about. Especially if it's the Goddamn Batman.

Very awesome. For some reason, it reminded me of the motley crew in the book It.

Is it strange that I totally know what you're talking about?

[bacchae23]

Naw. Thanks a lot. :)

Yay, you finished it!

I wish they'd write more actual comics about Gotham citizens. For some reason I think it's really interesting to read about how the nonvillainous/nonheroic populace views Batman and his foes.

I thought the kids might encounter the real thing during their little game, but I was sort of relieved that no child endangerment got involved. lol It was a nice little snapshot of Gotham kids doing what kids do-- not take certain things as seriously as they should. (I hope Rachel doesn't grow up crazy.)

Critique-wise, you say Bat-Brian "recovers his stature," but I'm not sure what you mean by that, since stature means height or like a social position, afaik. Also, some of the parenthetical interruptions come in an awkward places and messes with the flow.

On another note, I was amused that there's a kind of Joker/Scarecrow here. ;)
