A/N: This is a little pet project of mine that I've been hiding and planning for a while: a character study into the minds of the characters that make Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy unforgetable. To those who are fans of "A Series of Regrettable Events" don't worry; this won't distract me from updating it, this just helps flex my creativity. Anyways, none of this is mine, all rights go to DC comics, Warner Brothers, and Chstiopher Nolan, yada yada yada, and please read, review, and above all enjoy!

Bruce Wayne/Batman

What I have done and why is for my reasons and mine alone. And truthfully, I don't even understand why I do the things I do. Sure, I have what most would give anything to have. But what I cared about was taken from me and I will never get it back. I've accepted that. But I do this, all of this, so that fewer have to go through I pain I've felt. Now there maybe some selfishness to it: thrill seeking, self fulfillment, or an attempt to hold onto what is long gone. And some even blame me for fanning the flames of this city's criminal underworld. And maybe they're right; some of them may have never been criminals and might have led peaceful, prosperous, and happy lives had it not been for me. Or they could've been just as screwed up as they are now and the city would be even darker and without hope than it was when I was born. Either way, what's done is done and nothing can change that. But I believe that in spite of everything, that I have done good, and will continue to do good for as long as my city needs me. No more. No less.
