Yay! Glad you liked it. :)

This is a really lovely piece. One of Bruce's strengths is that he knows he's vulnerable, however much the idea might annoy him - and I like how you explore that, and other paradoxes present in the man.

Thanks, and well done!

Bruce is far to paranoid to not know he's vulnerable. :p

Glad you liked it!

Still haven't seen the movie, but good fic. :)

thedeadparrot September 9 2005, 02:12:26 UTC

GO SEE THE MOVIE OMG.

*cough*

Glad you liked the fic. :D

Sadly I have only 50 cents to my name. Bills first, Christian Bale's unphathomable hotness later. ;) (omghot!!) ::shifty eyes::

thedeadparrot September 9 2005, 12:37:02 UTC

*pets Christian Bale's unfathomable hotness*

Oh, god. I am completely in love with this piece. The imagery, the poignancy, the Batmanness (you're forcing me to make up words) is al so evocative, and brings Gotham to life. Which has got to be one of my favorite parts of Batfandom -- the fact that Gotham herself is another vibrant, imperfect, complex character. Thank you, so much, for catching that. And for making Bruce real and fascinating in the bargain.

I just... can't say enough how wonderful this is.

And your journal, on the whole, also makes me smile.

I love Gotham. A lot. And I love that Nolan didn't sacrifice the personality of the city in his attempts toward realism. Also, I love that Nolan (and Goyer and Bale, for that matter) didn't sacrifice Bruce's humanity for a second, even though he's a guy running around a made up city as a giant bat.

I also have a really weird obsession with Bruce's relationship with Gotham, and that's something I don't think I'll ever capture quite correctly (no matter how hard I try), because it's oh so beautiful and complicated and strange.

And thank you for the feedback. I love feedback.

Very nice. I like how you brought in some elements missing from the film (such as Harvey Dent) and gave us a snapshot of a year in the life. Fantastic job.

thedeadparrot September 11 2005, 23:22:12 UTC

Thank you. I too sorely missed having Harvey in the movie, but I'm sure that will be corrected soon enough. :)

kiraboshi September 12 2005, 01:38:22 UTC

Actually, I read the first draft of the film's script, and it was written that Harvey was the DA and Rachel's boss was the chief assistant DA (think Jack McCoy on Law and Order). That made me feel better. ;)

I've friended you by the way. I'm random that way.

thedeadparrot September 12 2005, 02:01:27 UTC

Oh, I have complete faith that Goyer and Nolan wanted to/would have included him but didn't have the screen time to fully explain him. The entire movie is so steeped in comic canon that it's strange that they didn't really reference him, but I am holding out hope for the next movie. :)

And I friended you back, because I'm like that.

BTW, your Christian Bale icon is hot.
