David Bowie has always been a huge influence on me, and his music continues to touch my soul. There is something truly special about Heroes that resonates deeply. While Bowie's version will always be my ultimate favorite, I recently came across a stunning rendition by Michael C. Hall, Sophia Anne Caruso, and the Original New York Cast of Lazarus. Their take on the song is absolutely amazing, and I highly recommend checking it out!
AU where Bruce Wayne was born in 1947! Usually in my personal version of DC he's born in '97, but let me explain.
The Lazarus Pit is what's kept him alive for so long. He died in training with Ra's Al Ghul once, and it was used to revive him. Only when he got to about 40 did he realise he hadn't physically aged since. He still looked twenty.
His parents were killed in 1957, and in the modern day people hardly remember them or what happened. The members of the JL, including Wonder Woman and Superman, all thought that Batman had been a mantle passed down through different people. How could one human man have lived that long?
Until the eventual identity reveal. No one bats an eye at Bruce Wayne still being alive in Gotham, weird things happen all the time in that city, but the JL are SHOCKED.
