See guys? Peer Pressure does pay off in the end!

Quote
BTW, you guys owe me some serious chocolate, now!
Give me your address and what kind you like. I think I owe you for some Dean movies... wink


Quote
well you're going to be disappointed.
Definitely not disappointed!

Quote
I'm almost hoping this one is so bad that you'll stop asking me for more.
Fat chance! This is great!

Quote
And Bruce - as himself - was hoping for an opportunity to get his picture taken with the guy. Not because he actually wanted to own such a cheesy piece of memorabilia, rather because he could use it as proof that Superman and Bruce Wayne were two different people.
Of course they're the same people... as sure as Clark Kent is Batman!

Quote
The $25,000 that he was auctioned for was only half the amount that Superman brought in.
Well really, what could you expect, Bruce? Look at the guy...

Quote
Bruce Wayne wondered what would have happened if he'd shown up as the Dark Knight, instead.
Maybe 3/4ths of what Superman brought in? wink

Quote
The aptly named Man of Steel was just a big bunch of indestructible muscles.
Mmmm, indestructible muscles...

Quote
She had batted her eyelashes exactly three times and Clark had readily accepted.
rotflol Love that line!

*Giggle* I liked the parallel between the parts!

Quote
Making up one of his patented bad excuses, he ran off to offer assistance.
Bathroom break?

Quote
that insanely ugly tie?
Okay, maybe the last one wasn't, but that's the bread tie, right?? wink

Quote
"I told you I wasn't Batman," Clark said with a lopsided smile.
I can just see that adorable, smug smile.

Great one, Lara! Of course, you know, we're waiting for the next one. wink

(And *wow*, told you you'd have plenty of feedback! You had three more before I even finished my own!)

Heh, I loved this one. Really funny smile

Just imagine, dark and broody Batman struggling to contain laughter...

Okay. I don't really have time for a full review just because it's midnight where I am, I have to get up in 5 hours, and I am trying to get the next chapter of Darkest Dreams done, but I saw this and I had to read it. I absolutely love these "Clark Kent is Batman" stories you have...absolutely hilarious! I love how you have Bruce and Clark having the same problems about each others' identities, if that makes sense. Anyway, it was amazing, and I just wanted you to know that you have one more reader out here who thinks this is brilliant.

Keep it up! thumbsup

OMG, that was so funny! I'd love to see another one of these stories from you.

Lara, that was brilliant!
Posted By: Terry Leatherwood Re: FDK: Dark Night - 02/08/07 09:42 AM
That was funny, Lara! And yes, I remember Barry telling Iris that he was the Flash (it was at breakfast on their first anniversary, I think) and she very cooly tells him that she already knows because he talks in his sleep. I always wondered why she wasn't mad because he tried to keep it from her. Guess all women aren't Lois Lane.

Now we're ready for 'E.' Hmm. How about 'Everything's Coming Up ?' where '?' refers to the text of your story.

You are going to finish the alphabet, aren't you?

*clap* Nice one. ^_^ I'm glad you continued the story!
Posted By: LaraMoon Re: FDK: Dark Night - 02/08/07 11:18 AM
I can't even begin to tell you what it does to me when I come back here and I see there's feedback on something I posted. Half the time I sit here, staring at the screen, in utter disbelief... I'm just so amazed and blown away and ah... a little bit teary eyed, too. What an idiot, huh?

Jessi - thank you!! For starting the thread, for all your sweet comments and for the moral support. hehehe! smile1

Terry!! You know, a lot of the blame for these stories falls on your shoulders. It's those darned strawberries and cream you offered me! You single-handedly turned a 20 minute challenge into a challenge that's going to last me this entire year... If I didn't know better, I'd swear you were the king of evil. hehe!

Quote
Now we're ready for 'E.'
Yeah, I'm sure you are. The trouble is... I honestly can't think of a title for one. I have a GREAT idea for a story that fits this series, but I stupidly thought that "illicit" was written with an "E" and so I'll have to push that idea to the side for a while. *sigh*

Hey Jojo! Thanks for the comment. I'm glad you're glad. hehehe! laugh I was SO glad you picked up on what I meant in another thread when I said I was working on a story that had a title that begun with a D.

I can't promise when you'll be getting the E story. If I had a title, it might come a lot faster... I'm open to suggestions, btw.

But I'll tell you a secret... I have ideas for G, I, Y and Z already.

And now I guess I'm going to need to go create a TOC for all my TOCs. *rofl*

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. dance

Late to the party, I'm sorry!

"Have we met before?" Superman asked Bruce. He looked at the man facing him and examined his features closely. The shape of the nose, the curve of the jaw and that small mole on the side of his nose, next to his right eye.

"I don't think so," Bruce answered. He frowned and tilted his head to the side, looking at Superman as closely as he was looking at him. He'd seen him somewhere, he was sure of it.
(giggle)

Quote
Women totally went for the dark and disturbed type! Besides... Superman wasn't even in the same league he was! Batman was a brilliant detective and an accomplished martial arts practitioner. The aptly named Man of Steel was just a big bunch of indestructible muscles. Nothing was a challenge to him, it all came free and easy and he flaunted it all over the place, in that flashy costume. Annoying overachieving showoff. That's what Superman was.
lol He's jealous! Too funny.

Quote

This fic is chock full of good lines, Lara. This is another one I liked.

Quote
He... um, he saved me?" Clark offered.
You're killing me with laughter, seriously! I've got to stop reading your stuff at work.

This was great, Lara. Thank you!

Bruce - as Batman - had been meaning to get in contact with Metropolis' resident superhero. And Bruce - as himself - was hoping for an opportunity to get his picture taken with the guy.

dizzy intellect, my dear...

"Hey, haven't I met you before?" Batman asked Clark, in a low voice. He looked at the man facing him and examined his features closely. The shape of the nose, the curve of the jaw and that small freckle right above his lip.

"I don't think..." Clark started. He frowned and tilted his head to the side, looking at the Caped Crusader as closely as he was looking at him. They definitely had met before, Clark realized. Suddenly, it hit him.

"Hey, you're Sup..." Batman started

"You're Bru..." Clark said, simultaneously.

:waves: at Lisa! Hey, I saw that you posted a story, I read through it real quick, but no time to concentrate on it yet. I'll be back. smile

I'm glad you liked the batting eyelashes - it's my very fav one of all. The other one, I thought was so much more amusing if I phrased it in the form of a question (mmm. I sense some Jeopardy influence here!)

Thanks for the comments, I'm so glad you're enjoying these little bits of nonsense I've been posting. You should see the title I came up with for the letter G. ROFL It's just a little bit on the other side of "completely crazy" hehehe!

James!! You *killed* me with your comment!!! "I'm on a roll" - OMG! You have NO idea how much I love a really delirious pun like that. Thank you!!

Thank you everyone. You've really made my day!!

LOL! I laughed so much I cried!!

Thanks for the comments and the suggestions. laugh

As for... um... Erotic... What? Am I supposed to understand you want me to write an nfic in this series, now? Gee...

Perhaps Superman had an alter ego, just as Batman did, Bruce reasoned. Maybe this was the person he recognized. Batman was as shady as Superman was flashy and so Bruce deduced that, whoever Superman really was, his other identity would be a polar opposite of this one. Superman's alter ego had to be as subdued as Bruce Wayne was flamboyant. It was only logical, especially considering the Last Son of Krypton didn't bother with a mask. Whoever he was, though, Bruce just couldn't place him.
I like this study in contrasts.


Oh, that’s so funny! Folks think Bruce is Superman, and ‘some’ folks think Clark is Batman. Love it!

Yes, I noticed the parallels and I liked them (better since I’ve done it, too).


Everyone’s Someone so Lois Lane must be Batgirl (but Clark is *not* Batman)...

Batgirl? Well, of course not. Everybody knows that Lois Lane is UltraWoman. duh!

Posted By: Classicalla Re: FDK: Dark Night - 02/11/07 08:35 PM
Of course she is! But hey, if folks think that Bruce is Superman and that Clark is Batman then why shouldn't they think that Lois is Batgirl? (My wild stab at a title and inspiration for your muse.)

Quote

Well... I won't spoil the next stories, but if anyone ever thinks Lois is someone, there's a better chance of it being Supergirl than Batgirl. Especially considering Supergirl was at one point seeing Lex Luthor, in the comics, until she realized that he was evil. Sound familiar? wink

And there you go.. I've probably said way too much now...
Posted By: TOC Re: FDK: Dark Night - 02/11/07 08:53 PM
Didn't I comment on this? Guess I was getting a little tired of award-winning galactically stupid investigative reporter Lois Lane, who's forever getting the wool pulled over her eyes. I don't promise I'll read and comment if next chapter is called Edward Nygma - nice name, though....

But if next chapter is called Erotic... I guess that's another matter. laugh

Awww! She was barely in this one, though... And she was even sweet enough to be worried about Clark. I thought I was being kinda nice to her, really...

The next chapter, I won't tell you what it's called yet, cause it ruins the punch a bit... BUT: there are no galactically stupid people in it and it should actually be quite the waffy little thing. Definitely waffy. smile

Hmmm. Yes, maybe that was the problem for me. Looking forward to WAFF between *Lois* and Clark in the next installment, then! wink

If I had realized you guys would keep asking forever (and that I might actually be able to come up with more), I wouldn't have done the revelation so early. Eh. Mind you, I'm almost hoping this one is so bad that you'll stop asking me for more.
*cackles* Oh, aren't readers great that way?!

Hi Lara,

More read-as-you-go FDK for your fun series ...

Quote
So when he heard that Luthor was going to be one of the bachelors auctioned off that evening, he had readily accepted. Even better was the thought that he wouldn't even have to spend a single penny in order to have the better hand. He was fairly certain that, considering his reputation, he'd easily bring in the biggest amount of money. Very easily.
- love this reason for going to the auction (and love how he's wishing he'd gone as Batman, later wink )


Quote
Not because he actually wanted to own such a cheesy piece of memorabilia, rather because he could use it as proof that Superman and Bruce Wayne were two different people.
- yeah, right ... great rationale, Bruce. I'm sure, in your heart of hearts, you're a fan wink


Quote
"Actually," he told Superman with an amused grin, "a lot of women I meet seem to think that I'm you."

For some reason, Superman had not seemed to find it even remotely amusing.
- LOL - and the sad thing is, I actually *said* that just now: I didn't just do it, but I uttered "lol" when I read this ... *shakes her head


Quote
All the way back to Gotham, that evening, Bruce wondered what would have happened if he'd shown up as the Dark Knight, instead. He guessed he probably would have won. Women totally went for the dark and disturbed type!
- ROTFL, they so do ... you sure know your women, Bruce ... love the phrase "dark and disturbed type" smile


Quote
Annoying overachieving showoff. That's what Superman was.
- great reaction, very believable for someone with a bruised male ego smile


Quote
But the male half of Metropolis' best reporting team was in for quite a few surprises!
- love all the mirroring for Clark's and Bruce's POV:

Quote
"But Gotham City's billionaire playboy was in for quite a few surprises!"
Quote
"The other surprises ..."
Quote
Not because he wanted to own such a cheesy piece of memorabilia, rather because he could use it as proof that Batman and Clark Kent were two different people.
great expression here:
Quote
Even though he was technically in the Dark Knight's jurisdiction
and love how this does not *exactly* mirror the lines about the "mole" earlier:

Quote
He looked at the man facing him and examined his features closely. The shape of the nose, the curve of the jaw and that small freckle right above his lip.
- it's such a red herring, too ... I thought that would mean that he might *not* figure it out, after all - you clever misleading lady, you smile

Quote
"Hey, you're Sup..." Batman started

"You're Bru..." Clark said, simultaneously.
- and what do we learn from this? Never underestimate Batman (or Clark)


Quote
"Me? I guess that explains why people also think I'm you. But seriously, you mean to tell me that you work with her and she hasn't seen through a pair of glasses and that insanely ugly tie? Is she blind?"
- you and Tempus should really get together some time ... love the "insanely ugly tie" comment ... leave it to Batman to insult a fellow superhero smile


Quote
"Oh, my God! Is that Batman? You better be getting an interview from him, now, you hear me?"
That's *so* Lois, very nice smile


Quote
He... um, he saved me?" Clark offered.
- LOL, I can absolutely see the way he "offers" this (love the word choice here)


Quote
No wonder Superman wore a flashy costume! His other self was so subdued that he let himself be pushed around by a tiny little woman.
- spot on, Brucie ... not to say you don't have issues of your own, though wink

And I love the in-joke about The Flash (thought I personally didn't get it - but hey, now I've learned something).

Thanks for posting this, it's great fun smile
