Just wanted to say, I really enjoyed this story. Bit of a mish-mash of story-universes, but enjoyable. You got the characters right, they seemed to grow, it was time well spent. I hope there is more to come!
Well, people that didn't read this serie don't know what they're missing.
I often use the word "amazing" when I give some feedback to a good story but it seldomly is as deserved. Succeed in getting so many characters like Xander, Angel, Spike, Bruce Wayne, Alfred, Rogue, the Winchesters -to name the most involved- tangled in a Gotham-City story that makes you feel as if you're there with them and makes it look so natural and easy.
It feels like watching an actual episode of a TV show with top notch dialogues.
This one with Cordelia and Dean cracked me up!
"Dean shook his head as he watched Xander leave. “He’s insane, you realise.”
“He has been living surrounded by teenage girls for the last five years. That much punishment is bound to drive him a little nutty. Not that he was the picture of mental health to begin with.”
“Surrounded by hot super-powered women? Doesn’t sound like punishment to me.”
“Most of them are jailbait.”
“THAT sounds like punishment.”
So many others like this one. Too bad I can't quote them all.. It really reads like a fine novel.
I love the way Cordelia got/bribed/blackmailed all these different, independent people about 'working' for OSI. Who can resist a good salary, health care and dental, right? *G* She's so the type of practical, grounded, person that would think about something like this.
From now on, for me, Cordelia's "on another path" and it means she's living in Gotham City. It would make a kick-ass spin-off, BTW.*G*
Thanks again for the great read.

The reunion between Angel and Cordelia works out very well, neatly tackling all of their essential issues after what happened since the last time they saw each other while making it clear that things will never be completely back to the way they were before.
And as for the case of the fire-demon...
A very dramatic bit of work, I have to admit (Particularly the idea about its connection to the League of Shadows and Angel’s own prior contact with the League).
In the end, though, you could stand to use a few less crossover character; I recognised a few faces- Rogue, Tony Stark, and the Charmed Ones are obvious examples-, but when so many of those characters never rate more than a brief reference in the story overall it starts to feel like you’re just showing off how many genres you know rather than actually including them for a definite PURPOSE...

This is an absolutely stunning story! I hope you plan on continuing it. I hope you plan on finishing the Cordelia/Bruce Wayne fic in the series that is unfinished.
I'm curious though, do you have a list of all of the crossover characters you've used in these fics? I recognized a lot of them, but a few of the names gave me the feeling that they were crossovers from another fandom, but I didn't recognize them.
Great, great story.

LOVED IT!!! ;-)
And Cordy's evaluation of Bruce and Angel as being a lot alike was a riot! ;-)

I'm glad that you're still enjoying it. Yeah, in some ways Bruce and Angel are so much alike. :)

Review of chapter "Chapter Seven: Adjusticar" from Cordyfan
Review:
I'm not usually a Batman fan, but I was drawn to this one as it had my favourite girl centre-stage. Great work so far - and it might have the side effect of pushing me towards more Batman fics, too.

I have not been writing reviews at all for quite some time, Real World Stuff getting me down and getting in the way I guess. Still, shame on me. I loved the first story, and I find this one just as well done. Thank you and please keep up the good work.

Review of chapter "Chapter Six: Confrontations" from Greywizard
Review:
Another fabulous chapter, and I can only imagine the joy Xander will have in the future picturing Angel as a dork with regard to Buffy in his memories. ;-)
I also like the way you're tying in aspects of both mythos in this story, with the League recruiting a demon to facilitate their plans.
Great job.
