The early stories predate the message board, so
I’m just linking to the reviews at FFnet. Newcomers are certainly encouraged to
post here.
I take it back, this one is likely my favorite opening. The trio of rogues calling on Bruce. *tsk tsk*

Chris, what can a reader do but rave? Another marvellous work in a series that becomes better and better _as_ a series every time another story is added. I was nervous when I saw the "Angst" genre rating, but I needn't have worried; you had Bruce indulge in some serious soul-searching (for a reason that was both logical and hilarious!), but you _didn't_ use that as an excuse for him to revert to Psycho-Bat (lovely turn of phrase, and I must remember it; it's better than "Batnut", which was my term for the same thing) and end up back at the original "status quo" -- which, as you pointed out way back when, sucks! It's wonderful to see Bruce come to terms with the fact that Selina is a source of happiness in his life, and that that happiness can be a source of strength. I don't know whether you plan any more parts for this story, but I think it would be interesting to see Bruce talk to Selina about his new-found self-awareness -- and it might _really_ get her purring... More, please, and I hope to see Bruce continue to emerge from the darkness -- not completely, but enough to make him more like my favourite version of Batman (other than yours ) -- by Englehart, c.1978: BatMAN, not Batnut.
