I see a similarity between Clark and Superman there. Superman, as well as Clark give people a hope usually – and you expressed this by Jimmy’s words so well.

*beams* I really like the idea that Clark could give some of the same hope Superman does, people just wouldn't quite recognize it as the same.

It seems Ra’s isn’t aware who is the protector.

Ra's thinks he's very smart here, but there are a lot of things he's missed entirely. :)

The Gotham dream was definitely one of the seeds of this whole arc, and was a lot of fun to write. She's awesome but scary...poor Clark.

I just posted the next chapter! :)
