I can't say anything that hasn't already been said about this chapter or the entire story thus far so....

I love this and am eagerly awaiting the next installment :)

Yay! There shouldn't be a month-long gap before the next installment, as I finished it last night and it just needs a beta (although it might need some revamping, we'll see!) Thanks so much for the encouragement!

Oh, so much fun!

There's just so much to love here. From Superman well and truly being Earth's hero now, to Bruce being distracted by Clark's :ahem: charms, and now wanting to fight at his side.

How much would we all pay to hear Bruce sing "Wings Beneath My Wings?" LOL

Just a great installment! Thank you!

I've gotten such a kick out of seeing Bruce evolve from a lone-wolf ninja-style vigilante to wanting to actually wear a costume and be a public figure (and of course from Clark being the reason why!)

How much would we all pay to hear Bruce sing "Wind Beneath My Wings?" LOL

SO MUCH. I wish there was some way we could do a Kickstarter or something to cajole Kevin Conroy into doing an album of "Bruce Wayne Sings Famous Torch Songs." :D

THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN.

Of course, I'd happily listen to Kevin Conroy read a phone book ("It's Batman reciting a list of suspects! *swoon*")... :)

OOH YAY AN UPDATE! :DDDD

Greatly enjoyed this chapter, and greatly enjoyed the accompanying scans. That panel where Clark takes off his shirt really is nothing so much as pornographic, isn't it? O///O

a;ghkasfjlajsdflj can't wait for moooooooore!

I'm glad I'm not the only person who stopped cold when Clark started ripping off his clothes in the comic! I was like "Ummmmm..." :) I couldn't resist having Bruce join in a little!

There will be more soon! The next chapter is done and just needs a good strict betaing before it's ready to go. :)

YEY! Bruce becomes BATMAN !

and ...and bruce knows superman watching interview..0_0
batman knows everything!

[mithen]

"Batman Knows Everything" should be a bumper sticker or something! :) I'm glad you liked it and I'm hoping to have more soon! *crosses fingers*

Awww, I just want to hug Clark and Bruce here!

"Clark," he said, quiet even in the stillness. "Clark Kent."

Superman's vast gaze snapped unerringly to where Bruce stood on the rooftop. Bruce lifted his hand in a wave and found that suddenly, he had no idea what to say. It all sounded desperately hokey: I believe in you, I trust you, what was next, would he start singing "The Wind Beneath My Wings"?

So he said nothing, just raised his hand and called Superman by his name, there in the eerie quiet under the glassed-in sky.

A smile touched Superman's bloodied lips, and he nodded, once.

*hearts Bruce and Clark* I loved that moment the best (though I do want to see Bruce sing 'Wind beneath my Wings' now! :p). And then Clark stripping... ;)

"Certainly, sir." Alfred was nothing if not game. "Double breasted, single-breasted

Your wrist really needs to behave! (More for the writing than the commenting, but still!)

Unflappable!Alfred is such a joy to write, he really is! It's always great to have someone around who can take Bruce in stride no matter what his mood is...

Awwwww! I guess Clark is going to be pretty shocked when he sees Bruce next, huh?

*whistles innocently* Maybe? ;) I've actually written all of the next chapter--it jumps up into Justice League and since I've been dying to write that part it's gone really easily! :) If I can find time for a beta I'm home free! *dances*

I'm really glad you liked this and flattered you risked your wrist to tell me so! Please take care of yourself!
