[ Sometimes Bruce wonders if this is too much for him. These people and what they can do. He's just some nutcase who wanted to stop crime in one city, whose grief-induced psychotic break sent him tumbling into grappling with aliens, and the end of the world.
Maybe he just wishes it was too much. Contending with the fact that he's enough of a control freak to look at these problems ago 'sure' is a bit strange.
(He doesn't remember the time in between Barry's rewind. But if he did: seeing the end of it, the boxes coming together, and knowing what it meant. He didn't try to run, didn't attempt any kind of escape or launch another futile attack in a defiant move. Batman simply hopped down from the lip of the reactor to join them. Knowing it was death.)
Doomsday wool-gathering. Bruce looks at Barry and then sits forward, reaching out to him and coaxing him closer, over from the other chair and into his lap. He leans back in his seat to look at him. ]
I'm only thinking that it's unfair you have to consider things like this, [ Bruce tells him, not wanting Barry to think that Bruce lacks confidence in his judgement. ] And that I wish I had a better answer.
