@guardiandevil83:

Aww this story made me sad.

It's supposed to! ;)

Sleep in peace Mrs White.

Oh, she won't be doing any of that.

About this story

In the CCC version of this, there's an additional scene that takes place ten years later. Batman helps Maria's ghost rescue her son from Two-Face. Grundy winds up saving the kid, giving him to Batman, and leaving. Once the kid is safe, Maria's ghost fades away, wishing Batman a Merry Christmas. The contest was during the Christmas season, so I was trying to write a heart-tugging Christmas story. I ran up to the deadline though, and didn't get to write the ten years later scene as well as the rest of it. Batkevin' gave me heck for it, and he was right. So, here in the repost, that scene was dropped.

As it is here, I love this story. I only wish I could keep it as the origin for The Woman in White. If it ever gets published though, I'd have to write something different that doesn't include the DC characters. <sigh> In the meantime, I still really like the Two-Face stuff here. :)

That's all for now! Thanks for reading. :^D

Batman: The Woman in White logo

Found via GIS. The "Batman" portion of the logo is Batman Concept Logo, by Jure Sobočan on Logo Designer. "The Woman in White" is a font from MS Paint.

"This swamp isn't safe."

Found via GIS. This is a slightly 'shopped version of Solomon Grundy - Ink, by jpaolonovelli on Deviant Art.
  • "Aren't you pretty meat for Killer Croc?"
  • "...two of a kind- both monsters."
  • "Sorry."
  • "Or maybe a split decision?"

The rest of these came from DC Comics, and were found in the CV wiki.

Things I liked:

cbishop Solomon Grundy & Two-Face!

Things I didn't like:

cbishop The schumaltzy Xmas ending. It was like a great gymnastic routine and the final flip you kinda stacked it.

batkevin74

Well, honestly, the Christmas ending was because it tis the season, and I was going for a Christmas ghost story - I was going for shmaltzy. :P

The problem was I ran out of time, and couldn't get the whole story in that I wanted. I had to seriously truncate everything after Maria's murder, to get the entry in on time. I want to write the whole story and post it later, and in that version, the "Merry Christmas" ending will make a little more sense, and play out much differently. ;)

@kcsshd: We've all had less-than-perfect entries too. I am particularly bad about writing under deadline pressure and having to post what I've got without proper editing. For what it's worth, I say let it ride for this contest and come back stronger next time. The vote's not over yet, but if you take it down, you lose for sure. ;)

@cbishop Hey could you like remove my entry.

Because reasons....

I can...

@kcsshd: Why? It's a good entry and you're a good writer. Inferno in many ways is the most interesting character on here.

Don't let any of this affect your confidence in your writing.

Trust me, I've been there.

...but yeah, like Stumpy' says, we've all had to endure a slow vote. @batkevin74 has the most wins in this contest, but even he's had zero vote contests before. So have I, so has @impurestcheese, and just about anyone else that has entered more than once. I'd really like to keep it in the contest, but if you're sure, I'll pull it. Your call.

@cbishop: Disco Bronco sounds like an awesome as yet unmade comic book that got rave reviews and poor sales :)

Thanks- that's what I was going for. :)
