BRUCE; DETECTIVE COMICS 🦇

[ now with a routine going, bruce has started to make his-- and batman's-- presence known; sooner or later he was going to find out if that was a good thing or not. but in the daytime as bruce, he wakes up and buys breakfast: usually fresh fruit from stalls in the old chinatown around peterboro and some kind of rice and egg from one of the random hole in the wall restaurants along the road. after breakfast, he'll grab a coffee from a café as he heads further into the city. after his first big brush with the d'amico's, he notes the streets are cleaner, but not because he's put a dent in their operation, but because they were being more cautious than before. either way, it's a win-- he's made an impression. for now, that was good enough for him. and then there was logan, but he wasn't quite sure what to make of that variable yet. do you join him for coffee? catch him eavesdropping? catch him catching you catching him eavesdrop??? but if you don't decide to creep, you might also find him helping out at soup kitchens and clothes donations around the city. helping cats out of trees. you know, batman stuff. ]

BATMAN; SHADOW OF THE BAT 🦇

[ ...then night time comes, and the real work begins. he uses it to take the opportunity to test out the new batcycle he's spent the last few months working on. the batmobile was coming along, but wasn't quite up for the road yet. regardless, the bike was working great, and made ti's presence known by the sheer noise it made cutting through the streets at night. the thin eye slits of the headlights cut through the night shadows like the smaller ones on his cowls, and people begin to notice him more, going after chases, expanding his area of operation, the myth of the batman. when he wanted to keep it more personal when it got really late, when everything was quiet, you might find him on the rooftops. in gotham, he was fortunate enough to know who to expect, but this wasn't gotham, and he knew he could really run into anyone up here. join him as he broods, beats up criminals, or maybe decides to break up another one of d'amico's illicit drug rackets. ]

Let me rephrase.

[ he turns the bike off and lets down his kickstand, stepping off. ]

He did wrong. He should be punished... by the law. We're not his judges. His hands stay unbroken.

[hevenly]

What will the law do? Will they see to it that he never raises another hand to a woman? Will they give him a lasting punishment that will serve as a reminder of the deeds he must not do?

Or will they fill out paperwork and hold him overnight until he is sober, before releasing him back onto the streets with naught but a verbal reprimand?
