You're not evil, I think Dick said it best:
“Do you, Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle promise to forsake all others and reserve your warped, angst-ridden, dysfunctional nincompoopery for each other, thereby saving at least two innocent people and providing untold hours of fascinated diversion to the rest of us who might otherwise think WE have screwed up relationships!”

Good Morning all. And thanks everybody for the wonderful comments.

Let’s see, let’s see, so many to respond to and so little time…

Ah yes, Gargoyles – a little Google time reveals that there are literally hundreds of buildings with Gargoyles in New York City, and contrary to popular belief, very few are on churches.

Many gargoyles placed on contemporary buildings are taken from old-world models such as those on Notre Dame which date back to the Middle Ages. They were, as several of you noted, said to be there as protection to ward off evil spirits. Most were, but not all. In the Middle Ages, as today, not everybody was a Christian. Some, like Miriam, delved into the dark mysteries of other planes – and not surprisingly some of those Pagans, light and dark, were artists. They would therefore incorporate images like Blostiban as private homage – to the priests contracting their work it was just another scary face to ward off evil spirits. Heh. Whatever, as long as the check clears.

So many modern architects may have copied these less-than-benevolent creatures unbeknownst. That is not the case with the Grupnel Towers, however, which was built in the last decade of the 19th century when the Occult was quite a fad in high society. George Ulston Grupnel was quite an ardent practitioner in the black arts – some say that is where all that money came from, in fact – and he was certainly aware what all those demons were on the face of his building.



Selina & Lois:

Lois didn’t say she was worried about him (although she does sometimes as we saw in chapter 1), she said she resents sharing him with the world. It’s kind of like being a doctor’s wife – Christmas Eve, your anniversary, anything can be overturned and rescheduled by the demands of his job. It’s not a great pathological jealousy of the whole world, it’s simply a pang whenever he has to go off – again – sigh. Price you pay, as Bruce would say.

On Selina’s side, she knows Lois isn’t bringing this up as a wifely-maneuver like the powder room, she realizes it is exactly what you said: Lois is opening up to someone she can tell and the reason she can tell Selina is because their situations are so parallel. Except Lois has that ring on her finger, and while that may not be the most salient point to you or I – and maybe it wouldn’t even to Selina another day – after Clark’s stunt and the powder room, it springs up quite conspicuously to Selina right now, like a neon sign in fact. As Ben has commented a number of times: they are married in all the ways that matter. Lord help us when they realize it.

>> Besides, Bruce isnt worried about you being safe. not like Clark is about lois anyway.

You’ve put your finger on something that is very important to Selina. She is Catwoman and that is supposed to put her into another category as far as she is concerned. She isn’t like other women, she is a player. Clark gets up, Bruce gets up – and she gets up. There’s fun out there – she hates getting left behind like a civilian, she’s missing out on the fun.

You have put your finger on their respective mindsets – and it’s something that sooner or later is going to have to be settled.
