I could see Batman making this decision. Well done!

Its a bit sad how little thought comic writers put into their writing these days.

Though I guess with corporate, legal crap, and just not being able to alter too much continuity *which is already crap to begin with* its hard to actually be creative with work.

Thank goodness for fanfiction.

Great touching fic.

Damn. Well played.

That was some good work, dude.)

Oh.

My.

Golly.

Excellent story, I loved it! You had me scared there at the end when Batman had to make that big "Choice." Well done times fifty! Can't wait to see more...

I really liked this story.

Amazing...You already know the admiration I have for your work, and once again it has been affirmed. I would love to read the aftereffects of this story, so once again I cannot wait to read more.

Oh... That was astounding. A short story that contains so much power. Could this be the description of the final emancipation and cleansing of Bruce Wayne. Could he have finally been freed from the Bat?

This is one of those ones that makes you think, and changes how you view the Bat legend forever. It also captures very well what is the most important thing in Bruce's life. Not the Bat, not the myth and not the crusade, but to protect the innocent, and to ensure not one life is lost if it can be avoided, even the life of a monster.

I got the feeling that when you wrote the line, "A child rapist alive. The Myth of the Bat shattered. Decades of work undone.", you felt that Bruce's actions were out of character, or unBatlike, somehow. I don't think they were at all. At the heart of Batman's character is the overwhelming desire not to see ANYONE, no matter how warped or evil, die. I might be wrong about how you thought here but this is excellently written, and it was a well-done story.

Well done. Very moving, perfectly in character and I really enjoyed the ending.

It's easy to say that yielding to the temptation would've made Batman a worse monster than Orman. But, I wonder how many real-life people (myself included) would've been able to equally resist the temptation? Bang-up job, all around!

Nice. "I think...I think I'll spend some time in the sun." Sometimes I'd like to think Bruce deserves a happy ending after all.

...Wow... That brought tears to my eyes. Great work.
