    Was reading…

    trevoredwards:

    Fear Itself by Michael Reaves and Steven-Elliot Altman when I came across a passage where Bruce was attending his own Masquerade Party as Zorro. He then went on to describe how the Zorro costume made him want to swagger. I got a pretty good laugh out of it, and thought I’d share it. 

    Five minutes later Bruce started for the entrance hall. He was resisting the urge to swagger; there was something about the Zorro costume that was swagger-inducing. Odd, really. It was just a mask and a cape, after all; not so different from the cowl and cloak he wore nearly every night. And yet his “work clothes” inspired no desire to swagger. 

    Must be the sleeves, he thought. 

    Forgot about this until I was going through a tag trying to find something. It was actually a pretty decent Batman novel overall.

    Fear is a cannibal that feeds upon itself. It lives in every dark shadow – waits around every corner. It can be in two places at once…on the path ahead, yet somehow always behind you. Fear hides in every decision, questioning your every move. And it’s your fault. You are the one who gives it life. You are the parent of your own fear. Every instinct tell us we can do nothing in the face of that which terrifies us. But that’s what fear is – instinct. We run because that is our nature. Better to fun away and live to fight another day, or so the saying goes. But if we run, the cannibal feeds and grows stronger. Better to run towards your fear. Better still to face it. Stare it in the eye. Make it blink. Watch it shrink.

    Eckhart was straight up perfection as Harvey.
