Oh Goatgal! Thankyou for your bat-allegory! You had me at:

YOU. Are BATMAN.

I actually just took 2 batman graphic novels out of the library..its amazing you were able to speak to me with that. He's my fav superhero

Now You are right, I was actually pretty rattled for the last couple hours and just caught my breath. Gonna be cool calm collected.

You need to give her a wide berth until you understand her evil plot.
The catch here is: You might NEVER understand her motivations!

No matter what Poison Ivy does, Batman has to remain strong because he has the entire city of Metropolis to look after! It's all on his shoulders!

He can't let one babe in a crazy green costume throw him for a loop no matter how good looking and scintillating she might be!

Batman is working from a much bigger platform; one that involves the welfare of others, (as well as his own), his values, his entire reason for being.


again I am adapting and pulling back and yeah...I'm fracking Batman! I can't worry about retreating strategically... fighting for who I am changing to be...besides trying to get catwoman to change sides (ivy is hot but catwoman actually sleeps with Batman ;D )

But learning from his Ninja training in the Far East, (they left this out of the movie so I'm adding it here), Batman learns to DEFLECT.

To KILL with KINDNESS.
To take the high road.
To resist---passively--rather than actively.

He acts when he HAS to act to protect the greater good.
He does not act out of fear, or anger, revenge , or jealously.

Eventually his tactics will weary an opponent over time, rather than in one short battle.

This is so hard deflection/detachment-no expectations, kindness, not freak out of my reactive emotions: fear, anger, jealousy...i am sure i will improve in dbing but you sure break alot of bones doing db! but I know....three months is barely a blip in this battle...

But I am digging the ninja training (incidentally you are bang on..Batman was trained by League of Shadows which were super ninjas...you may have a career in comicbook writing wink

Time is your friend.

Pick your battles.
Bend like the willow while holding your roots fast.

Everyone who knows trees knows you can never kill a Willow.
They just come back from their roots once you cut them to the ground.


How helpful this might be for you is anybody's guess.


yes again. This bending/being flexible and letting time have its way is so excruciatingly hard isnt it?

You have succeeded in both entertaining me and counseling me GG! I really needed to hear this. I mean really really!

I am VERY grateful for you Wonderwoman, yeah! and my DB "Alfred" (Arthur works too ;D ) as this LBS community is just so life giving after the beating we get with our WAS
ok so like Christian Bale I will go forward (sorry but Clooney should have never worn the cowl)with a healed back and save my city...er...myself and then hopefully the marriage. cool

Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
