Bruce shrugged. "A lot of people have jobs they don't like very much. My job is just to pretend I'm the happiest man in the world."

This speaks to me so much because it's so true. In my opinion, there is no Bruce Wayne. All that's left is Batman and the shallow facade of *brucie*. I had hoped for a happy ending. But superheroes rarely get one do they?

Beautiful story.

I have rarely laughed so long or so hard over anything. And it is not from the characters doing folish or ridiculous things, but rather from behaving so truly and peculiarly in character. It is nice to see Diana written by someone who knows something about Ancient Greece and Zeus made for a great villain; by turns unexpected, silly, evil and pitiable. All in all, it was a lot of fun to read.

Until the end, that is. I had so hoped that Bruce would find a way to bend just enough to allow Diana into his life. But he remained in character to the end and so he ended up the tragic hero: unbending, admirable, but just as pitiable.

what a beautiful story. You have the characters so very in character. I love Batman to death and you got him down! Thanks for writing this

that's such a great way to almost bring batman & wonder woman together. this fic was enjoyable to read, had great writing & all the characters seemed pretty ic.

this is a really wonderful story but the ending is so sad... can you write a sequel and make it happier please! thanks! and it should be *herakles* (greek name for the guy), niot *hercules* (roman name) since thios is about greek myths.

Fantastic! And kudos to you for leaving it here, with the genuinely in-character rejection from the Bat. Aching pity, indeed. I really nice action-adventure piece with fun flirting and, given the typical fan-story, an unexpected but strangely satisfying ending. Can't help but say I'd love to read a sequel, though...

This. Was. Brilliant. I especially loved Batman's reactions in the earlier chapters to Wondie's comments on her being bound, and the Barbara/Dick/Diana interactions were PRICELESS. This has to be the greatest BM/WW fic I've read in ages. Lovelovelovelove.

Proper

That was wonderful! Funny and heartfelt right through the end.

This was really just awesome from beginning to end. I particularly enjoyed the bits that included Flash.

First rate

I really enjoyed the story! It was really well written and i like how you ended it with the quote,that was a nnice way to end so i just thought that i should tell you i really enjoyed...so yeah enough points being added to your author ego for now :)

ouch

Oh...my...gosh. Your writing is impeccable! You captured Batman's personality (how ever many there are) perfectly. The story line was awesome. I am just in awe. This is the best BW fic I have ever read!

Great fin, I love it, but you have to write some more, that could not be the end, please
