OH MY GOSH. This is just. This is SUCH the perfect song for Batman Beyond, and just, wow. I don't even know where to start with all the best parts of this. I will try to come back and leave better feedback but I just wanted you to know immediately that I am so delighted and impressed with this. Thank you so much!

[sophinisba]

I really liked this!

[cantarina]

Oh festividder, this is GORGEOUS! It's such an excellent painting of Batman Beyond's Bruce Wayne and I love how present you've made Terry in the video. Fantastic vid!

[julianatia.livejournal.com]

WOW, this is so powerful and perfect!!!

[fahrbotdrusilla]

Wow! (that's really all I have to say it left my kind of speechless)

[sage]

HOLY SHIT. *flails* God, THEM. I haven't even thought about this story in years, and now I'm gutted all over again. What a brilliant music choice. And now I just want to hug them all so hard. *snif*

[revolutionaryjo]

Wow, this is so heartbreaking. Fantastic job!

[dotfic]

Oh, batfamily. ;___;

[rachelmanija]

This makes me want to see that movie! I had no idea it was any good. (It is good, right? That's not just the vid's work?)

[colorlesswords]

What an awesome song choice! I really loved the mood you were able to create. Fantastic job!

[laurashapiro]

Wow. This is terrific.

[miramira]

Wow. Bruce really is the Man in Black, isn't he? Beautifully done.

[petra]

This is astonishing and wonderful. The music is so perfect, with the hurt of being Batman, and the way it's about being alone--except, of course, for how it's not. Bruce loses so much, up to and including the parts of himself that are Batman--but he gets some of it back when he has Terry, in a lot of ways that have nothing to do with cane-fu.

I adored the juxtapositions of the cases and Tim and Barbara as a sign of loss, particularly. But oh, this whole vid is glorious.

[actiaslunaris]

This gave me chills. First at "goes away in the end," then when Bruce shakes Terry's hand. Nicely done.

[chalcopyrite]

Wow, that's sharp. I thought the images you kept coming back to worked really well. I loved how you went back and forth with the different Bats. And oh, Timmy. Lovely work!

[serrico]

Oh God BATFAMILY. The angst and effed-upedness of the Batman lifestyle just *pervades* this whole thing. SO GOOD.

[giandujakiss]

Wow. This was so unexpectedly powerful.

[gorgeousnerd]

Oh my gosh, this seriously made me teary. Johnny Cash and old!Bruce is just the best mix ever, and you did an amazing job with it (I liked the choice of uncensored Return of the Joker in particular).

[yhlee]

Oh, this song choice is so apt--it really gives the stylized animated source an additional sense of gravitas. I really want to watch this now.

[bessemerprocess]

This just broke my heart. Gorgeous.

[harpers_child]

timmy noes! sorry, first reaction to that particular story. bruce and terry need hugs or something. this is such a great vid for them. especially liked the "empire of dirt" = batcave bit.

[theleaveswant]

I don't know much about this version of Batman canon (I actually misread the fandom name, expected one of the live action versions), but the song is a great match.

[fightingarrival]

When I first saw the song choice, I wasn't sure it would work; I thought it would go to over the top. But this hit the just the right note and plucked my angsty heartstrings. Great work!

[blueswan]

Oh, you've made me need to see this again, but the VCR died and I only have it on VHS. This was wonderful and heartbreaking.

[franzeska]

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

(Perfect song choice.)
