I'm taking the comment about my looks as a compliment 💪🐦
and I think if I felt any guilt on the matter it'd be the same amount say a cop or a fireman would feel also there's always the next night and the night after that to hold apprehend the perpetrator and help more in other places a lot of my job is more solving crimes already committed than preventing them from ever being done it's not about instant gratification
out of curiosity which escapees? any of them uh how do i say this fond of comedy
Well, he thinks he's funny. Chuckles is a guy named Jerome Valeska, and we have some unfortunate history. There were a few more, too. It was an asylum-wide break out Valeska planned, actually. Happened right before I got ripped through space-time.
"Instant gratification" is an interesting way of phrasing that.
never heard of a Jerome Valeska so hey that might mean you might not have to deal with him much longer orrr that our timelines diverge in some weird other direction interdimensional travel 🤷
how do you mean? idk an annoyance I have with a lot of younger crime fighters is they just want to rush in and beat up the bad guy they don't think about the detective work or the training or the preventative measures I'm not a methodical planner and yeah, sometimes I rush in to finish off the job but that's only after I've done the majority of the legwork (I mean some older vigilantes are the rush in and don't ask questions type but they're mostly terrible at it) (don't tell big B I said that I don't want him to know I agree with him about some of his colleagues)
When I've had the opportunity to prevent a crime, I've felt something more like a sense of relief than anything like gratification. I said there was a "satisfaction" to solving a mystery, but that's intellectual and after the fact. "Instant gratification" makes it sound like the confrontation itself is the motivation, and not the outcome, I guess.
Maybe that's just semantics. OR maybe that's just a reiteration of what you just said. Regardless, I won't tell the bat
I wouldn't second guess your instincts so much because your observations are very astute not just because I'm biased and trust my Bruce's honestly I'd say you tend to analyze in a different direction than big B does with a lot of different outcomes it's part of why I like talking to you, kiddo your perspective is interesting independent of who you share a name with
I mean I may be biased because I'm very uhhhhh the nice way of saying impulsive intuitive! but I've found second-guessing instinct can lead to a lot of waffling trust your gut, even if your hunches are wrong, your gut feeling is there for a reason
it's hard to describe but for starters he's generally more secretive and less communicative which is a feat considering how getting details from you is like pulling teeth 😒 when you DO open up though... your observations tend to be more caught up in the microcosm of the event I guess that's how I'd put it Big B's always been detail oriented but you seem to fixate on the unique categories of the individual situation this is just from the brief time I've known you of course so I could be off
You're not off. The myopia's from being an overprivileged 16yo with limited real world experience. You probably caught on to it because I've mostly questioned you about aspects of your history that remind me of my own.
omg kid thats not what i meant you're almost as grim as him what I mean is you're good at focusing on things in a vaccuum and not letting outside details distract you my Bruce is more of a 'everything is connected, let's look at the big picture' kind of guy
I don't think either approach is wrong or better than the other but like I said it's part of why I enjoy your perspectives when I can drag them out of you honestly when I look past the name you don't remind me of Bruce at all you remind me of someone else entirely

What do you mean "different direction"? What's his direction?
