Gotham doesn’t recognize the quiet war happening beneath its neon lights—the one Bruce Wayne fights every time Desiree Holiday walks into a room with someone else’s arm around her waist. Their reunion after Bruce’s return to Gotham is careful and restrained, built on shared memories and long pauses that say more than words ever could; Desiree is proud of the man he’s become, unimpressed by his wealth, and unafraid to call him out when he hides behind sarcasm or silence. Bruce finds himself orbiting her again, drawn back into her gravity despite knowing she belongs—at least publicly—to Harvey Dent, Gotham’s shining promise of lawful justice.
