Good save! You had me worried there ^^

This is what I expected to happen, but I'm pleased at how well it was done.

The only minor quibble I have with this wonderfully heartwarming interlude is that in a situation this personal, this intimate, Diana would call him Bruce.

She does, at the beginning of the scene, then reverts to "Batman" when she makes the pointy ears quip. I think it works.

Really well done though. I'd probably appreciate it a touch more if it wasn't a near-direct lift (and almost exact same resolution) of a similar story they did with Clark and Diana several years back.

Apparently the author was unaware of the story, which I think we should blame on editorial more than anything.

King lives for this shit. I swear he lives for it. He knows we have been hurt before we have scars. So he loves messing with us to watch us flinch.

gotta say, I LOVE the art.

Yeah, it's really, really good. The way the composition pushes back and forth between Bruce and Diana to suggest who's making the move, and then get tighter on the near-kiss. It's extremely effective in selling the sexual tension.

Oh thank goodness!

What's up with Steve Trevor nowadays anyway? I kind of remember him doing some kind of black ops government wetwork in the new continuity?
