Days

to batman, leslie will always to some extent be “the bad guy” by the virtue of her concern- or worse, her rightness in it. she says “someone will get hurt” and if no one gets hurt, or if they get hurt but always bounce back anyway, then she’s an old lady nagging heroic and brave young men for no reason. and if she’s right, if she’s right as she was right about jay, if she’s right as she was right about stephanie, she’s the prophet of tragedies, and no one likes the bearer of the bad news.

leslie is the kassandra of batman comics... leslie is the only person who will let bruce into her house, but not batman. and yet at the same time she sparsely comes to his home at all, and maybe that's because she would have to scream and say: "the house is reeking blood!" (as kassandra says in carson's take on aeschylus' agamemnon)

what's your "if I won the lottery I wouldn't tell anyone but there would be signs" thing? mine is getting a fully green kitchen
