I like the ending. Er, that's all I have to say. :D

Yes, hope is a wonderful thing. I respect, though I strongly disaprove, how she's willing to go to jail to pay for her debts. Bruce seems to see the good side in her, so cheers to that. )

O_O

...I am at loss for words...

"Freeze, moth – aaaaahhhh!" That has to be one of the funniest quotes because I can vividly see something like this happening. XD

Anyway, so far this story is great and well-paced. Marlow's character is a bit enigmatic until you enlightened her past, a little.

I like how you used a first point of view instead of omniscient, like how most people do. It pretty much succeeded while you wrote this, and it's nice to personally know the thoughts of Bruce and Nocturne.

Well, I hope that at chapter 24, this story will find some alternative ending unless you chose to discontinue this which I find very saddening. A great piece of work like this shouldn't be stacked in a shelf, never to be touched again.

But like I've stated to most people, this is your story and whether or not you chose to finish it, it will be admired from those who truly find it captivating.

"How crazy do you have to be to think you can frighten the demons out of Hell?" Pretty crazy, but come on, he's a grow man in a bat suit. He never claimed to be sane, just good. Good at bringing down bad guys and bringing justice to the masses.

perfectly poignant ending - can't say I particularly liked how the story ended, but it was fitting.

Great job! I really enjoyed your story!

Another great chapter. I really like the way you put in details about the FBI and police. I really think it makes the story feel real.

Oi! I hope that UVa thing was a cover. We have an honor code at Mr. Jefferson's University. I have a special place in my heart for my school... haha...now that my fake(ish) rant is over, I'd like to say that your story looks very promising and I am excited to read it. It looks like you are setting up an extremely interesting plot!

I don't know if you are still on , but I wanted to review just to let everyone know that this is one of the best stories I've ever read, I came close to crying a few times towards the end.

Not only do you write brilliantly, the story you tell, it is a true gift. That's all I can say.

Great job.

Absolutely beautifully written. Poignant without being melodramatic, and both fantastical and realistic.

Fantastic, well-written, and convincing.

I absolutely loved this entire story.

I desperately am wishing for a sequel, although it isn't likely as you haven't updated in so long and the fact that a continuation would lessen the story's poignancy.

Wonderful action, emotion, characters, and romance. The relationship is passionate and powerful without being overly syrupy or false. The OC is admirable without being too perfect, and she stays remarkably in character. I also really enjoyed the Marlowe/Nocturne thing; I was really convinced that they were different people.

Cheers.

You have a gift for OC's. You've made a character who is realistic, balanced, interesting and rather disturbing because when you think about it you realize there are people just like that, but enough about Fagen.

As a grown man of 30 years of age I admit I cried when I read the scene of Barbara standing at the window.

As I said when I reviewed Red Light a run of comics based on this would be amazing.

I feel the need to express my admiration. Not only did you manage to keep everyone in-character for the entire length of this fic, you also invented a plausible romance and an interesting heroine worthy of Bruce Wayne's time. The ending was spectacular, balanced in both its surprising aspect and the naturalness of it. And you did this all within the confines of a story that has an actual plot, creating a world where the romance involved ADDED to a pre-existing structure, instead of dominating and diluting what should have been an in-depth character study.

Much kudos! :D

Hugs.
