Okay, But Counterpoint To All The Angsty Bruce-bleeding-out:

Okay, but counterpoint to all the angsty Bruce-bleeding-out:

Bruce is relieved. All his life, it's felt like Gotham has called to him, a siren song not even pretending to be pleasant but enthralling all the same. She's had him in a vice grip since that night and he's always known it deep in his heart.

So, when he's laying there curled against a wall, feet away from the spot that claimed his parents' lives, it all makes sense. Gotham's mercy always came with a price. He had thought it was his parents, but that was never true. His parents' debt had been called in that night and his own had begun - Gotham's lucky owed her their souls and she would always collect.

And yet, for Bruce, it doesn't feel like a punishment. He looks up at the raining heavens, the cold water soaking through the suit, and asks her, "Is it finally over?"

She doesn't answer, of course. The sky just rumbles with thunder, not even any lightning.

He knows he's dying. There's already too much blood washed away by the water to recover from. He wants to take off the cowl, suddenly suffocated by the duty she'd placed on him. He's being freed from his task, and he wants to feel the water wash through his hair. She exerts her influence over him one last time to stop him - if his identity gets revealed, the children will be in danger - but grants him the energy to roll onto his back. The cool water will work its way under the cowl enough for him.

"I get to stop now?" He asks.

His body feels more sluggish and the aches he almost forgets he has leave him, no longer compelled forward by her relentless drive. He knows this feeling - death is coming. But for once, it feels ... permanent. Gotham's cold, dark tendrils had been wrapped around his heart and soul for most of his life, laying their claim on him. But tonight, he felt them slip away and this death ... this death feels like the real one. It's not cold or scary, just peacefully empty. He has done his job, fulfilled his role.

Batman dies, spilling out the same blood he was baptized in, born from.

As for Bruce Wayne, well ... he's back home, of course, finally resting.

hi…..first of all how dare you? second of all how dare you. third of all how DARE you—-

I Got Some Classic Comics Today.

I’m so excited. I also have the second issue of Batman year 1 but they were a bit pricey so I only got 2.

Im super excited for the Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow because I’ve heard about it from overly sarcastic productions.

I’m very happy I found this cause it was in the trade in section, love that place cause they have discounts!!!

I have an Eastern Hercules Beetle named Terry. He fell on someone outside a restaurant and my dad saved him. He’s pretty cool.

I love the fact that the Wayne Family Adventures episode with Hal in it gives the same vibes as when Hal and Bruce went on an adventure in Batman Universe.

Just absolute chaos and getting into such random scenarios. Like they went to the Wild West for some reason?!

NEVER LET YOURSELF BE STOPPED BY WHAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE IF YOU STARTED EARLIER!!!!! THE ONLY TIME WE HAVE IS NOW

Does anyone know of any psychological horror fanfics about Bruce sort of fight against Batman almost. I have no real good way to describe this.

Maybe like when Bruce was trying to reject becoming Batman again in Dark Knight Returns or like when Bruce try’s to fight for a regular-ish life like in Batman: Mask of the Phantasm.

I’m in an angsty Bruce mood. Also bonus points if Gotham itself is almost alive.

If these don’t exist I might write it myself, it won’t be good but I gotta practice writing and fanfic is the way to go for that.

So I’m playing Fallout New Vegas for the first time and found out I can be a bisexual cowboy in post apocalyptic Nevada.

I’m having the time of my life.
