Thanks for the review! I'm glad you liked the beginning. :) I'm not so sure that it gets better ... eeee ... but maybe the start will make up for the ending? ^___^

Superman gave hope to other people. Despair-that he kept for himself.

*Just stares at you a while*

Damn, but you can write Clark. He's...so perfect.

And this story is great! The idea of Bruce turned into a bat is so perfect, and his mix of irritation and unease with the situation is lovely.

It was difficult to meditate as a bat, but he gave it a shot anyway.

Oh, Bruce.

And his Brucie act with Von Bartross (LOL) was exquisite.

And Odile...is this...is this Bat Lake?

I'm loving it very much.

*blushes* Thank you! That line was definitely influenced by your "Despair" Canon for the Deluded posts, though. They've given me so much more insight into Clark's character, so you definitely get a lot of credit for that one. :)

Yes! As you figured out by the end, it is Bat Lake. ;p I almost named it that, but then I was like, "that just sounds weird" hehe. But yeah, during December I was struck by this weird Swan Lake obsession, which meant that I automatically had to somehow meld it with my other obsession (S/B) and thus, lots of crack (aka this fic ;p) was born!

Ok, on to your next comment ....

OMG! This is great! The owl-man is so scary! And you write an excellent Brucie. The first part, in particular, with Bruce and D, and Bruce looking at the sky, I thought was excellently done. Also, Bruce as a bat, and his internal reasoning--excellent. This is a fascinating read, and so ambitious. Bravo, C. I'm off to happily read more...

Thanks so much for the reviews! I think this story might have been a little too ambitious, lol, considering I started it five days before the deadline ... ack! But I guess it all worked out in the end, and it was a lot of fun to write. Especially the Brucie part ... sometimes I think I enjoy writing the boys' personas more than the boys themselves, hehe. Poor guys ...

Okay, on to the next comment ...

Weeee! Transmogrified Bruce FTW!

I'm so behind my reading, Christine, I'm so sorry! I am trying to catch up!

This was wonderful. Bruce's longing for Clark, thinking about Krypton, and Clark's breakdown! Oh, god, Clark's breakdown is wonderful. The 'despair, he kept to himself' line killed me.

The assaulting guy was scary. Evil! Assaulting my boy! Not good!

And after that? After that, Bruce would run. It wasn’t an ideal plan. He still had no idea where he was in this underground complex, or where the exits were-assuming there were any at all. But he wasn’t about to sit here and be assaulted for the sake of coming up with a better strategy.That made me gulp and laugh at the same time, lol. Batman feeling that the plan wasn't good enough, and Bruce being all... worried, frantic, dry. Perfect Bruce, really ( ... )

Mina! You've returned! *hugs*

I'm so behind my reading, Christine, I'm so sorry! I am trying to catch up!

Don't worry, so am I. I spent all of last Friday sitting in front of my computer, trying to make a dent in the S/B fic ... no dent was made. At this point, if I catch up on my reading by the time the next WFA/SS exchange thing comes around, I'll be satisfied. *grin*

The assaulting guy was scary. Evil! Assaulting my boy! Not good!

Yeah, I was cringing as I wrote that part ... sorry to put you through that one, Bruce *pets him*

Your Lois is a thing of joy, which always makes me laugh at myself because I'm ready to say 'bah! Lois!' but you always make me like her

LOL. Well, I'm happy that I was able to make her somewhat likeable, because I can't seem to keep her out of my fic! Even when she and Clark aren't together, she still insists on being used as a supporting character, hee. ^___^

Anyway, on to the next comment with me!

Oh no! I am even later than Mina...

This is a wonderful start. The atmospheric language is so wonderfully striking. The eyes of the owl, the confinement in the bat body... wonderfully evocative.

And the owl-man and his daughter...

Creepy.

Creepy and atmospheric and wonderful.

LOL. No worries! I am so so behind on my commenting, it's getting to be absurd ... :(

Thank you very much for your comments, though! *g*
