You guys you guys you guys!

[lettered]

You know what the world needs more of?

Batman/Gordon. Bruce Wayne/Jim Gordon, Bruce/Jim, Jim/Bruce, Jim Gordon/Bruce Wayne, Gordon/Batman. Do you see how I am like a tween dreaming of marriage to her chemistry class crush? Bruce Gordon. Jim Wayne. Bruce Wayne-Gordon. James "Jim" Wayne.

First of all, you guys, Commissioner Gordon. I read this quote about how in a place like Gotham City, it's easier to be Batman than Commissioner Gordon. It's melodramatic, but don't you think it's a little true? I mean, isn't the whole reason Wayne became Batman because he didn't see how else to do what needed to be done? And yeah, that's brave, and maybe cleverer, more productive, useful (in the short term. Who knows what it does for the underpinnings of society? I'm not even getting into the ideas of Gordon's actions being definitely more ethical, perhaps also more moral).

But Gordon's the one doing this thing he knows is impossible. And he's never going to stop, no matter how impossible it is. He's going to do it until it kills him, because someone needs to try.

I . . . don't know what's wrong with me.

I also don't know when RL is going to let up, but I'm hoping soon. I got a new job (still at the Science Center, different position), but I've finally done it a couple times now, and there's not extensive travel/visiting people for the next six weeks or so ... who knows. I miss you all. I do still read your journals, even if I don't comment. Looking forward to reading some fic eventually...!

BATMAN AND GORDON ARE LIKE AN OLD MARRIED COUPLE. THEY HAVE BICKERING BEAUTIFUL LOVE.

(I'm pretty sure, in point of fact, that COMICS CANON has made that reference.)

Everyone always wants it, no one ever wants to *write* it.

Clearly, AI needs to progress to the point where we can plug in a pairing and it can generate stories.

I'd totally read that. Dude, where is the Nolanverse fic, that *isn't* all about the Joker?

Congrats on the new job, babycakes! And the new(?) fandom. They can be so liberating! New material, new canon for the win!

Hi! Glad to see you again! Congratulations on the new job, and selfishly glad that it might mean we'll see more of you around here perhaps.

I don't know much about the Batman 'verse, and I haven't seen The Dark Knight yet. Why yes, I *have* been living under a rock, now that you ask... we'll see it when it comes out on DVD and we get it in our Netflix queue. It's all a question of babysitting time, you know. But your new OTP sounds enticing.

We miss you, tooooooo! *hugs*

I have nothing to say about Batman right now. Sorry!

[hi.]

I ADORE Commissioner Gordon. I mean Batman's the epitome of cool, but Gordon's my hero. This pairing needs to be written, especially in TDK canon, as it's the only one I know comprehensively. DC verse is so huge it makes my head spin. I wish to emerge myself but I'm too intimidated to start.

If you write that pairing I'd like to put a vote in for Batman/Gordon NOT Bruce/(Jim) Gordon. It's important to the relationship that Batman be Batman to Gordon, and that Gordon recognize Batman as a human being despite not knowing WHICH human being he is. Or so I believe

I totally ship Batman/Gordon. I would write it except for the fact that I have never seen (much less read) any Batman comics. I wonder if it's acceptable in Batman fandom to write about the movies as well? I'd love to write it... I doubt that I would be very good, though, since I was never really into Batman. I just like the newest movies- Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.
But if I ever make the attempt to write this, I'll let you know. =)

I love you!

I also love your above meta-dump. Very interesting. And I do hope, that if you write anything, I'll get to see it. See, I love your obsessions--if you're into it, I know there's something there that's going to interest me.

Also, I am replying to this way late because I am like skip=300 on lj.
