i wish there was a way for ppl to break out of the fast reading = good reading mindset. it's ok if you have to take your time reading it's okay if u have to take breaks or reread whole paragraphs u are not a "bad" reader if you read slowly you are just a reader!!! i can read decently fast but that doesn't mean im automatically retaining any information better. don't limit what you read because of self-imposed restrictions. if you think it'll take you forever to read an old book, let it take forever! enjoy the journey! don't stick to what's easy or straightforward just because it's easy or straightforward. push yourself to read uncomfortably and understand that you can and will get it but you won't until you start trying
Bruce gets accosted by reporters and one of them asks "Is it true that you're in competition with Superman to win Batman's affections?" and he is so taken aback bc what the fuck are they even talking about? There are a million questions going through his head such as, since when was superman into batman? since when was this public knowledge? wtf did bruce say to imply that he was into batman as well? And he doesn't have an answer to any of these questions so he just smiles and says, "No, I'm not. The word competition implies that Superman has a chance, which he does not."
why did he say that? Bruce doesn't know, it just felt like that's how Bruce Wayne would've responded bc what's more Brucie than fighting with Superman for Batman's heart? anyway, upon reflection, this was maybe not the best response in terms of long term consequences, but he's committed to the bit now.
a week after all this goes down, news reporter Clark Kent is caught saying that Batman deserves better than Bruce Wayne, so is a third suitor putting his hat in the ring to win over batman?
When I was little I thought my brother was the coolest person in the world. I wanted to be just like him!
Now that I’m older though, I’ve grown into my own person. Now, my brother and I can stand on equal footing, side by side. Whenever he asks for my help or advice, I will always remember how much he helped me when I was young, and I am immensely grateful to be able to do the same for him.
I don’t know if he misses having a little shadow, but I know he’s proud of me :)
