Really good story... love how detail the plot was, especially Catwomans having to figure everything out. Great job!

Damn her?! More like damn him! It was his idea to lead her to those private and personal items and now he's losing sleep that she saw them? Of course he is, he's Batman. Still...the romantic in me was hoping he'd go down to get that "remarkably beautiful" engagement ring so he could slip it on her finger soon. Ah well.

Bruce investigated Selina's parents? Now that is true Bat-love. And Jean-Paul has made friends with Roy Harper, someone else who has slept with Helena? Ooh, boy, I sense mischief in the future... Also, I love Matt here, getting a second chance, like Harvey.

Hello gorgeous. Just wanted to say that this is by far the sexiest story I've ever read on ff. I'm new to The-Batman fanfiction, but I spotted you as the best. Your writing is well-researched, and the quality of your writing is fantastic. I'm amazed at how an amateur writer can come up with the storylien for Walapang. And that Walapang was just a distraction to get Catwoman to see the real problem was ingenius. Not to mention the Harley Quinn Krytonite being "Joker" was the cleverest little pun.

Though there were a few two many references to the E! true hollywood stories, I'd pin that as a *very* minor flaw. Tying in pop-culture with Batman is a perfect catalyst for believability. Hagen's thoughts on Batman during the Ivy lovefest was hilarious--I had tears in my eyes. I could say I wished for juicier bat/cat interaction, but that I have a feeling that prayer be answered by reading the rest of your stories. I am a little astounded how Selina keeps her sleek physique downing Hagen-Daaz...but how can I not nitpick -- since well, your story is near damn perfect.

I want to read more (and i will). But please...keep up the Bruce grunts, the Chelshire smiles, and of course, the good work.

-- A new reader

I had such a rough day. I pull this up, and as usual, it served as a wonderful way to relax. Parts of it had me laughing outloud. Thanks for another great story.

Damn her, indeed. So ended one of your great stories. I think I realized something that I never noticed before: No synopses of your stories can really do your stuff justice; you have to read them, experience it; the dialogue, the characterization -- it's all too deep to just put in a sentence or too.

I never got into Az as a character; you always make him interesting; didn't see all this coming. Judge Bungaree, cool name. Nice of Selina to have Matt do his thing. Alfred, Alfred, Alfred. The Bruce/Lex comparison.

And the epilogue, some interesting details about the death of Selina's parents. I hope this gets examined a bit more in the future. Thank you! Fantastic!

At the end of this I realised that it really was about time I reviewed. I've really enjoyed reading this series and admire your dedication to it.
It has a great ensemble cast and manages to mix serious and silly beautifully. Seeing Jean-Paul again was great, I think he's my favourite of the characters you write.

I don't do nearly enough reveiws considering all the hard work you put into your stories. But at the end of "Blueprints", I knew I had to at least say thank you.

So...thank you! As always, awsome job. Looking foward to Amuse Bouche.

' Only time will tell what’s been set in motion by “Project Walapang.” ' Indeed! What has been set in motion indeed, a great chapter, and a great story. I loved it, particularly the unease and the closeness of the couple that we are left with.

Ivy and Catwoman and Clayface and Bruce/Batman and Penguin and Jean-Paul and Dr. Jerry- this story ties up just enough loose ends that the next story will be anticipated with my usual level of patience. This is mystery, suspense, drama, and romance- just wonderful, wonderful stuff that makes me feel like a fangirl.

... but that last bit there can stay on the downlow, right? Doesn't happen often, I promise. These stories, though- they deserve the reaction.

Woohoo! What a chapter!

And I was right. The way you wrote how Matt took his revenge on Ivy was just…man, I think the word awesome (and any other related words) would not be enough to describe that particular scene. And later on - the way both CW and Hagen played Ivy - making her think Catwoman being there was just a coincidence was absolutely brilliant. I’m actually finding myself feeling sorry for Ivy now. The poor girl never stood a chance.

Other parts of this chapter I loved were - Jean Paul thinking about moving to a city with “No Catwoman”. LOL. Oh man, I swear, I feel so sorry for the dude. I wonder if there is a medical term to describe a phobia of cats. Hmm, guess I’m going to have to look it up. Nice cameo appearance by Arsenal by the way.

Matt accepting Bruce’s offer was also something. I really didn’t think he would’ve gone through with it. But considering that this may be his only chance - I guess he had to give it a go. I just hope that he doesn’t blow it. Just out of curiosity I was wondering, have you seen the new The Batman series? If you haven’t, I’d recommend you check it out. The premise of Bruce trying to help out Clayface was somewhat similar to what happened in an episode of The Batman.

The epilogue was… kind of confusing. Its like, Batman is glad to have Catwoman in his life - but he’s still not ready to let her in ALL the way. It’s almost like as though a part of him literally doesn’t want to have the kind of relationship they have. I wonder if the Batman in your universe will end up like the Batman, or rather, Bruce Wayne in Batman Beyond. Old, alone, and with almost no friends or loved ones to speak off. Well, before Terry came along anyways.

Take care of yourself Chris, and congrats on finishing yet another excellent story. Here’s to hoping you won’t keep us waiting too long for the next one.

Later.

Ah, nice to see Clayface getting back at Ivy, but I'm sorry to see that Selina didn't get a chance to work out her frustrations on a greenhouse full of foliage. Worked out for the best though. I hope we'll see more of Matt in the future, evolving and growing as you've done with all your other characters. I have to say that's one of the things I really appriciate about your Cat-tails universe - the people do actually grow! (Although Ivy sure doesn't seem to catch a clue too quickly, but not everyone is as intelligent as Selina :-P)

Looking forward to your next story!
Oh, and I enjoyed the Roy cameo!

This was yet another exciting instalment coming from you.

Though the whole chapter was masterfully done, there were two parts that stood out to me the most.

“After a few minutes, Alfred came in with a sedative. There was an argument about that, but Selina stayed out of it. She could see it was a quarrel they’d had many times before, and she had a hunch that Alfred always won. Tonight was no different and soon Bruce was asleep, breathing heavily, and going nowhere.

Selina cried.

Whiskers hopped up on the bed and sniffed Bruce’s elbow. Alfred brought warm milk. Selina drank it, she cried again, Nutmeg hopped up and licked Whiskers’s nose, Selina held Bruce’s hand, and eventually she fell asleep.”

I’m not really sure why she was crying. In fact, I’m still trying to figure that out.

Does she still have insecurities in regards to her relationship with Bruce (considering how easily Pamela was able to take him away from her)? Was she crying because she was just happy to have her Batman back to herself finally? I hope you’ll address this in your review reply.

The second part that stood out to me the most (especially because of its humour elements) was the internal monologue (all of it) of Matt Hagen on Poison Ivy. It was just brilliant. LOL. Man, I personally can’t wait to see what will happen when Poison Ivy finds out how she has been duped. I’m getting the feeling you’re going to offer us something we’re going to remember for a very long time.

Take care of yourself Dee. Hope to read more from you soon. Later.

I'm very, very tired after the field trip and that was just a lovely little thing to come back too. Nicely done
