quarterly reminder that the bozo(batfam) family live in new jersey

[witchoflegends]

"You honestly think I'm insane enough to go anywhere near something like that?!" Now he was just being downright rude. He might as well have been calling her an idiot. She was a lot of things, but she was neither stupid, nor suicidal. "Just because you go around almost getting yourself killed every other night doesn't mean the rest of is are like that. I may run into crazy situations head first, but that is not one of them."

[cowled]

"That's not a no, Lois." Bruce ignored the dig at him. He's heard plenty over the years from everyone. That he's going to get himself killed. They don't seem to realize that he goes out every night knowing that's a possibility. He's accepted he's going to die out there and the real cause of his death will never be made public.

"If I find him, he's going to Arkham. Where he belongs and I will tell Jim Gordon that you might be a good source of information on him. If he's lucky and he gets captured here, he won't face the death penalty. Unlike, the hundreds he murdered, he'd get a choice to live."

I cleared up my following list and kept some people who haven't been on in 2 years for the memories, but I am making this blog completely private.

[witchoflegends]

"You make it sound like I'm cheating." Leave it to Bruce to be jealous over who she talked to. This is why they could never date. Maybe he needed to get out more and make actual friends too. "Frank is a good source. He's honest and doesn't pretend to be something he's not."

[cowled]

"You're putting yourself in danger." He said very plainly. "Tell me right now, if he told you he'd take you into one of his rampages, you wouldn't jump at the chance at going." Bruce knew Lois and her pursuit of a good story, but there's lines that shouldn't get crossed like with Frank Castle beguiling her with tales of his murders. "He's killed over 300 people, Lois. I don't care if he's honest. He needs help and he needs to be thrown in Arkham."

@witchoflegends

he would like to call bullshit on Clark not getting jealous. He has super hearing and can fucking see and smell wherever lois is.

[cowled]

"Does he know?" He looked at her, his features masked, but there's an air of him sulking from before. The man became petty when it come to Lois and her new 'friends'.

"Does Clark know about you and—frank?" There's accusatory tone to his voice as he folds his arms across his chest. "Talking to a killer is one thing, becoming his friend is another, Lois." @witchoflegends

☀️— Clark straightened up as Bruce slipped back into the interview. Leaning forward he pressed the start button on the recorder.

"If you'll forgive me, particle accelerators are rather dangerous even outside of what happened in Central City. Nobody is saying that Gotham couldn't be successful with its own collider, but the concern isn't unfounded." He glanced over the top of his glasses. "Would you mind sharing the precautions that Wayne Tech is taking to ensure that another incident doesn't happen in the future?"

He had his own opinions about the collider, but he would keep them to himself. In all honesty, with Metropolis and so many other cities being so close, it made him uneasy. At least the fallout of the explosion in Centeral City had been relatively contained to one city.

[cowled]

"The concern is not taking into account that we learned from the failures of Star Labs. They got cocky. They didn't keep within their own perimeters nor did they take into account the wear and tear that would happen from constantly running tests. They had equipment that was good for 500 uses except those estimates were light. They didn't factor in the daily use those things were going through. Things degraded, they broke down. Safety measures put in place were never triggered because the incident was not within any imagined protocol." Bruce leaned back in his chair.

"We took what happened and built on it. Gotham is in safe hands." He pointedly said, looking at Clark, knowing the man across from him had his own reservations about the collider.

"Is that good enough?" He asked, motioning to his recorder again.

But I know the rage that drives you. That impossible anger strangling the grief, until the memory of your loved one is just poison in your veins. And one day, you catch yourself wishing the person you loved had never existed, so you would be spared your pain.

"NOW TALK. I know you've been working with Riddler. What is he planning! He hit a transport heading to Star Labs. What was on it! TELL ME."

[It is discovered that Bruce paid for Dick’s engagement ring to Barbara]

Alfred Pennyworth: Well, Master Bruce, how very sweet, and uncharacteristic of you.

Bruce Wayne: Well, I know how much Barbara loved that ring and I wanted to do something nice.

Barbara Gordon: Wow… thanks.

Dick Grayson: You know, Bruce, some people, if they want to be nice they just actually start being nicer on a day-to-day basis.

Bruce Wayne: Yeah, I figured it’d be easier to write a check.

❝ how do you sleep at night? ❞

"In a bed full of money." Bruce quipped without thinking. "uh—look,"he thought better to answer fully then leave it at that. "I don't sleep much if you're honestly asking. I learned how to take several micro naps throughout the day and every few days I take a full night's rest. It's how I manage my time and I'm able to be alert."
