Standing before the mirror, I barely recognize myself. In a suit and tie. I can't believe this is what I need to do to get on with my life. Life.... I never truly got to live a life. Not one that was planned for me.
Or perhaps this was always planned out. I've seen different dimensions...the same thing always happens. They always die before me. Not always the same way, but it's inevitable.
I feel like a stranger inside my own body out there in the sun. Most days I cannot wait for the night, where I am truly myself. Inevitable.... I am the dark knight of Gotham...it's who I am supposed to be. But to be me, I must suffer being the stranger inside.

Batman created by Bob Kane. Characters (c) DC Comics.
Stranger Inside by Shinedown off album Leave A Whisper.
This isn't my original idea either. That belongs to Supaslim.
The rules are: 1. Pick a character, pairing, or fandom you like. 2. Turn your music player on and turn it on random/shuffle. 3. Write a drabblet/ficlet related to each song that plays. You only have the time frame of the song to finish the drabble; you start when the song starts, and stop when it's over. No lingering afterward! No matter how whacked out your drabble is. 4. Do at least ten of these, then post them.
I'll let you guys know if I broke the rules to finish any of these.
I think this song fits Batman/Bruce very well. Batman is who he really is, so I bet he does feel like a stranger in his own flesh out amongst the people of Gotham.
