FDK: Atonement 1/? - 03/25/06 11:52 AM
Wow, Beverly! I'm not normally a Batman fan at all, but I have read a few Superman/Batman crossovers that have been pure magic. To succeed, these stories always have to touch heavily on the private lives of Clark and Bruce, as well as on their differences and their friendship and trust in spite of all. This feels like one of those totally magical Supes/Bats team-ups!
And I love Clark's relationship with his daughter. I love the fact that he has a daughter in the first place, a daughter by Lois. To me, there is something particularly moving about a widowed father single-handedly raising his daughter, who so reminds him of his beloved wife.
I loved the appearance of Diana, Wonder Woman! Wow! I loved how impressed Laney was with her. And she is going to take Laney away on a dream shopping spree, so that Clark and Bruce can do something together which is apparently not PG-rated at all (and I'm not talking about sexual content....)
And that appearance of Tempus. WOW!!! I think of Tempus as a most horrible threat, and you make it very clear that Clark in your story has every reason to hate him. It seems very likely that he, Tempus, had something to do with the death of Lois (and Clark's ensuing rage - wow, the way you had Bruce allude to the fact that it was probably a good thing that Clark retired Superman a few years ago, rather than use his superpowers to express his fury!).
Now Bruce has brought Tempus back. So that this time-villain can make amends? Your story is called Atonement. Could it be that Tempus is trying to put things right again? To bring Lois back?
Wow, Beverly. I love this! Please post more soon!
