sorry this has been in my head for the last two days... considering this in context of in bw:m/f the repeated line of bruce's "innocence being ripped away" when his parents died + him leaving gotham for his training and then returning i am Thinking......... bruce's connection w victims (often paralleling them....) but also his impact on them later (as batman -- its so meaningful to me when there's storylines where he feels like he has no impact on the city and then he meets someone who's life he changed and he becomes revitalized) + his relationship to the city (and leaving it quite painfully and coming back -- his training) etc etc etc...... does anyone hear me does this make sense sorry if it doesnt its like almost 3 am
