it's so good, Ollie zeroing in on Bruce not claiming his achievements as Bruce Wayne/a civilian and telling him 'don't talk shit about my friend/yourself or I'll kick your ass'.
He's such a good friend, and you can really see how he knows him here, even with all the decades of lies and misdirection, even with Bruce never wanting him to.
It's such great work. I love it. All the things that go unsaid and everything that they force out of their mouths because they need to say them or the other needs to hear it.
Yes! God, Bruce has so many identity issues. It's not just as simple as, well Bruce Wayne is the mask and Batman is the real him -- here, clearly it's all shades of truth. But Ollie knows enough to piece those bits together. He wants to piece them together, more than even Bruce does. He's saying hey, that Bruce Wayne you keep writing off and pretending isn't you? He is you, so stop this bullshit.
Ollie is fully himself in both identities, and I think that's what scares Bruce (and also makes him a tiny bit envious). Bruce is never wholly himself no matter which mask he's wearing. That must be disorienting.
