	None to fond of the art but the story was reasonably well written if a bit rough around the edges. (Reply to this)

	Really? I liked the art. Particularly panel three, first page. That is some nice Bruce Wayne jerk face. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Oh yeah. That fourth panel? My immediate reaction: "Bruce is gonna lose that pinky." (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Really fun story I thought, with very well done art that fits it very well. Love the portrayal of Batman here too, and the nod to his early, typically over-looked days as a crime fighter when he carried (and used) pistols. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	aaron_bourque 2009-11-13 04:25 pm UTC (link)
	He never used pistols, plural. He used a pistol, and rarely. Like, once. Aaron "The Mad Whitaker" Bourque; oh sure, he carried it around often, but before his first year of publication, it wasn't even a standard part of his costume. I think the short gloves lasted longer . . . (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I like Bruce's victorious smile on the second page. it's actually kinda cute. I really will have to get this once it's out in trade. It's looking pretty spiffy. :D (Reply to this)

	seriousfic 2009-11-13 07:21 am UTC (link)
	The art looks like it was done in Poser. I can't tell for sure, because Batman and Doc Savage aren't naked lesbians. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I am... SO in love with this art. Nobody draws like this anymore and it makes me sad. (Reply to this)

	Note the reference to Batman carrying fourty fives, this is the OLD old school Batman that used guns. And if I recall... he DID kill people. (Reply to this) (Thread)

He did, but the only one I can remember right off hand was some kinda vampire guy, I do believe.

The gun usage and his debate over whether or not to carry one was written into continuity in BATMAN: YEAR TWO, but most writers gloss it over, which is kinda sad. I wonder if he's even explained to Dick, Tim, Babs, etc. that he knows first hand carrying a gun doesn't make things any easier.

	I love the smug asshole Bruce Wayne face. He kind of looks like he's going to star in a Bond movie. (Reply to this)

	xammax 2009-11-13 08:57 am UTC (link)
	I enjoyed this but there were things I both loved and hated all in the same issue. I loved when Bruce has Doc call him nothing, at that moment the ruse worked perfectly, and it will take a lot to make Doc truly think otherwise. I hated the guns... I'm sorry but damnit they weren't even a large part of his Golden age appearance. I hope they are dumped soon. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I love the exchange between Doc and Bruce on the first page. Their later meetings are both pretty awesome, too. But the first is great. (Although I do wish DC would let their acquired characters sell themselves, Spirit and Doc Savage shouldn't need to be crossed over with Batman to sell, dammit.) (Reply to this) (Thread)

I have to say Bruce Wayne is mistaken if he thinks he's proven Doc Savage leads with his left; Doc was holding a drink in his right hand, he could strike just as well either left or right.

It's funny to see Doc with white hair (and eyebrows), but I put that up to the Bama look on the paperback reprints. If nothing else, it makes him stand out compared to everyone else.

And I'd bet Doc has figured out the Batman double identity already. He mentions that he didn't smell alcohol on Wayne's breath, which is a hint that something fishy was up. I'm biased a bit, but Doc was certainly at least as observant and analytical as Batman at any point.

	Add me to the list of "love this art". So in this universe, Bruce is average height, more on the spindly side, and uses guns. The name is Wayne, Bruce Wayne. Shaken, not stirred. Complete with Red Grant choking him out. XD (Reply to this)

	Are scans of this available anywhere else on the 'net? 'Cause I've REALLY been looking forward to it, but now my computer is playing stretch-and-squash with me, and none of these scans are readable. (Reply to this)
