Batman review, Alias fanfic

I saw Batman Begins today and liked it quite a lot. This has to be the first Batman film which is actually more interested in its hero than in its villains (not that those weren't fabulous, too), and Christian Bale as young Bruce Wayne so surpasses Keaton and Clooney combined that it's not even funny. Also, as someone who loved Batman: Year One and Jeff Loeb's The Long Halloween, I was thrilled that the film obviously took them as inspirations.

New Alias fanfic from yours truly, both responses to challenges.

"In Flight"

"Lessons"

"In Flight" is about Emily and Irina during Truth Takes Time in season 2, no spoilers beyond that, whereas "Lessons", featuring Elena Derevko, has spoilers for the entire four seasons.

Meanwhile, kangeiko has catered to my own personal Bad Wrong fetish and written a greatvignette about Sydney and Sloane, set in early season 3.
