“Alfred says I need someone to talk to who knows what I’m going through. Otherwise it’s a festering wound. His words. You’re the only one I can talk to about that stuff, about the drawbacks to being a hero.”
I must admit I have issues with Batman. I grew up with the silly one from the 1960s show so I have trouble with the ambiguity of other versions. I liked the way you brought all this together. Bruce/Batman doesn't become a different person but we're able to see him in a more flattering light.
