Relaxing? I don't think so, RE. If I were asked to make a bet, I reckon that Bruce is going to be laid up with the flu, a broken leg or something similar so it falls to him to solve a case from his chair at Wayne Manor whilst Dick, Tim, Cassie and (to her immense annoyance but certain...

Whoa! That was so cool!

I had a blast checkin' out that Vogue link that Chris mentioned in her blog, so it was awesome seeing that mentioned. The way all the A-listers were watchin' the Pammy/Two-Face showdown from above seemed right, somehow. And Selina's little gift... only she could find some way to put that money to good use that Batman/Crimefighter might approve of.

I've said it time and time again that this case hit far too close to home for Batman, and invariably altered how he'd otherwise handle the investigation. So I won't say more on that front, other to voice my surprise that it took this long for the stress to start messing with his dreams/nightmares.

After the last chapter, I was half-expecting Two-Face to continue his rampage by trashing the Vault. That made Two-Face's decision to delay his grand return with some...

First I have to apologise for my earlier absence - Regrettably I am out of the house for most of Thursdays.

Well, that was a great ending to a great story. Anticlimactic in a way but it was a good way. Instead of the stereotypical superheroic fisticuffs and dialogue, we see Harvey completely disarmed by sweet reason and a girl for whom I think he has always held a torch or two. Maybe every man does need a great woman behind him (and Pammy, dear, you are one...

Btw Chris. Remember that professor of Tim at prepschool. The one with Bay of Pigs as textbook example of groupthink. I met him this year, unfortunately he also happens to be the promotor of my thesis. Strangling him with Ivy's vines isn't nearly cruel enough.

You poor Belgain... sounds like its toally 'not fun' to be you right now.

Your usuall killer work here Chris, and no "2nd" thoughts about it.

I dont suppose you could get someone to visualise that new batmobile, eitheir in 2 or 3d though? to me I just see names and body parts but no real image.

Thought this wrapped up rather nicely, but it really made me think, "what's Pam going to do now?".

Spoiler [+]

so she was able to get Harv back through her own insight and they lipped lock for a good while... so now what for her? Harv gave himself up and Bruce is shipping him out to a good treatment...

Okay, now in some fics there's this sorta anti-climatic "well, it ended, but was the beginning and middle were sure good" ending. Not here. Oh no, not here. I can't honestly remember a more thought-out, satisfying conclusion of your fics. Chris, you really, really delivered the payoff; VERY well worth the wait. Harvey and Pam? Gold. A new Batmobile? Priceless. The voice recog? Oh. My. God. Thank you!

Just in case, spoiler alert.

I think JabberwockyPie voiced my thoughts exactly. There was such a great sense of satisfaction all throughout the Two-Face/Ivy encounter. If there were ever any lingering doubts about Pammy's plan or effectiveness, they were shed immediately. Considering how well they know each other and how she saw through his plan immediately, I think they're going to be okay. With how serious Harvey is taking things in making a full recovery, I think he...

I can't express in words how happy I was reading these chapters. Happy isn't even a strong enough word.

And I was very impressed with Selina's solution to the Vault money problem.

I really liked it. Though, I think the Batfamily is a little premature in thinking the Vault will close. Wil some prefer to keep the Vault open? Or Catwoman as the Queen? Or will Penguin make a little mistake [maybe get too greedy], and the whispers start about how much better it was under the Cat? After all, that is human nature.

I'll keep this short:

Intriguing. So funny I almost peed.
Especially Pammy's reasoning.
Good old TwoFace is back, he adds colour to the rogue life. Yay!
