Well if it isn't French's novel like critiques I love so muc. Thanks I'm really glad you like. I don't know if I'd say he obediently learned anarchist ideals from his parents. I liken it more to the Socratic paraphrase "a law that is not just, is not a law," so when the law allows guilty men to go free, Steve steps up, plus he has in inherent disdain for authority outside of reason. Nor would I say his fathert taught him the insignificance of law, matter of fact of the two his mother would probably be the culprit, but put it to you this way, neither of his parents would be thrilled he's Public Defender.

Steve learns extra fighting techniques from Sloan while fighting, and he is not pulling a Charles de Gaulle, sorry for the lack of explanantion. It was late and I felt my eyes getting heavier, so I started explaining the bare minimum for Powers and Abilities as well as the Supporting Cast (I actually have like 3-5 others planned that I didn't add yet!)

I needed this to seem very realistic, because it's going to contrast the high-fantasy and philosophically ideal Batman series the Pre-KO watched as a child. This is supposed to teach him sometimes things go very wrong. The fighting was important to me, because it's supposed to show where Knight Owl is going to be on a spectrum, directly in between Public Defender and Batman.

As for Kate, like I said, sleep was approaching quickly, so I cut the bios short. I'm a little surprised a noteworthy romantic relationship in my articles, I mean I think I'm setting up Knight Owl and Catwoman fairly well, considering how not-far along I am in the story. Kate is sort of Steve's Foggy (as is to be expected), however she is a far firmer believer in the law than Steve, revealing a steadfastness of charcter that often encourages Steve to hold on, ironic since he's a vigilante, a very illegal activity. The romantic thing is more of a plot device for me to have if I decide to pull a Karen Page and kill her. However, I also wanted to toy with the idea that a personal relationship may or may not fuck up a law practice. Additionally she is his best friend since law school, and since Steve is a lot like me in origin, that makes her a very special person irrespective of sex.

You're right about Sloan. All I knew last night was that I wanted to mix Deathstroke and Bullseye. I haven't developed it that much from there, but the idea is that he's hired to kill the Public Defender by the Falcone's

I'm so happy for the return of the novel-long critiques. I hope to see more soon. I'll be glad to answer any more questions or cover other things you noticed.
