SPIRITUAL ACCOMPANIMENT: A PERSONAL VISION.
Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink
Introduction
Water is needed by humans, animals, and plant life. This has been apparent in the last month as the grass changed from lush green to straw in colour and spirit in the summer heat. Water is needed to grow and when there is no water there is no growth. The purpose of a Spiritual Accompaniment Process is to grow in the presence of rivers…

Who's Who In The DC Universe: Batman of Earth-One and the Batman of Earth-Two
Batman of Earth-Two by Dave Gibbons & Batman of Earth-One by Dick Giordano
Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman had versions on Earth-One and Earth-Two, mainly due to being members of the Justice Society and the Justice League. Other heroes like the Flash (Jay Garrick/Barry Allen) and Green Lantern (Alan Scott/Hal Jordan) were separate individuals using the same identity on different earths while the Trinity were always Bruce, Clark, and Diana.
The easiest way to cover the Batman entries would be to start with the similarities:
Both Batmen are named Bruce Wayne and hail from Gotham City
Parents were named Thomas and Martha Wayne
Both have an uncle named Philip Wayne
Thomas and Martha Wayne were murdered by Joe Chill after leaving a movie theater. A traumatized Bruce witnessed the murders.
Bruce spent his formative years developing his mind and body to perfection.
Bruce adopted the Batman identity. A large bat crashing through a den in Wayne Manor inspired the creation of the Batman.
At first Batman had a rocky relationship with the police but later formed a partnership with Jim Gordon
Bruce took the recently orphaned Dick Grayson under his wing. Dick later became Robin the Boy Wonder.
And now, the details unique to each version:
Earth-Two:
While Thomas was shot by Joe Chill (causing his death), the shock of seeing his death caused Martha to have a fatal heart attack.
Bruce was placed under the guardianship of his Uncle Phillip who raised him to adulthood.
Bruce moved back into Wayne Manor after coming into his inheritance.
Batman carried a gun in his first few cases but soon gave it up.
He was a charter member of the Justice Society and the All-Star Squadron.
He maintained his playboy image until the late 1950s, when he married Selina Kyle (Catwoman).
He semi-retired the Batman identity once he reached middle age and became the Gotham City Police Commissioner upon Jim Gordon’s retirement.
Bruce and Selena had a daughter named Helena.
Selina died at the hands of a former criminal colleague, inspiring Helena to become the Huntress. Bruce gave up the Batman identiy entirely after Selina’s death.
A year after the debut of the Huntress, Bruce donned the Batman uniform for the final time. He died aiding the Justice Society, saving Gotham from a super-powered criminal.
Relatives unique to Earth-Two Bruce: Selina Kyle (wife), Helena Wayne (daughter), and Karl Kyle (brother-in-law).
Earth-One:
Relatives unique to Earth-One Bruce: Lord Elwood Wayne (uncle, deceased)
A young (pre-murders) Bruce Wayne admired a costume Thomas wore to a party. It would later inspire the creation of the Batman uniform.
Joe Chill was acting under the orders of Lew Moxon. Moxon was seeking revenge against Thomas Wayne as his testimony had sent Moxon to prison.
Bruce way placed under the care of his uncle Philip. Philip was a world-class traveler, so Bruce spent his formative years under the guidance of Philip’s housekeeper, Mrs. Chilton. Unknown to Bruce, Chilton was Joe Chill’s mother.
Bruce served an apprenticeship under Harvey Harris (the world’s foremost detective) while training to be Batman.
Frustrated by laws that seemed to help criminals more than their victims, Bruce left law school.
As on Earth-Two, Bruce took Dick Grayson under his wing. The difference being that Dick’s costume was inspired by the one Bruce wore while serving as an apprentice under Harvey Harris.
Bruce left his playboy image for a time and devoted himself to running Wayne Enterprises and building the Wayne Foundation into one of the world’s foremost philanthropic organizations. He later relinquished his day-to-day involvement in the organizations to devote more time to being Batman.
Bruce has recently become the guardian of Jason Todd, a young circus performer whose parents were murdered by Croc. Todd has since become the new Robin.
Batman, a founding member of the Justice League, has recently resigned due to a philosophical dispute over law and justice.
He has recently formed a new team called the Outsiders.
The next few entries are of Batman’s utility belt, the Batmobile, the Batplane, and the Batboat. Mostly drawings with some basic information.
Everybody knows Batman. Ask any non-comic book fans to name a superhero, and you have a ninety percent chance of the person responding with Batman. He’s had a bazillion comic books where he is the focus and has made millions of guest appearances in other comics. As for non-comic book media…he’s easily the most featured hero of all time. No one else comes close. Batman has starred in radio dramas, multiple movies and tv series, along with many cartoon series and animated movies. And numerous video games. Not to mention all the merchandising.
Whether you love or hate the character, if you were to make a list of the top 100 super-heroes of all time, you would have a hard time justifying not putting Batman in the #1 spot.
I love certain versions of Bruce (the bronze age, BTAS/DCAU, Justice League International, Young Justice cartoon, Wayne Family Adventures) and despise others (the majority of the 2000s).
As for the actual Who’s Who entries:
I miss the Bruce – Selina marriage. The cop-out during the King run was lame. And infuriating if you spent money on all the tie-in issues (which I did not).
I wish Helena would be born during curing continuity (I know adult Helena is running with the JSA but I want baby Helena just for the interactions with her bat-siblings).
If the “Bruce was placed under a housekeeper’s care while his guardian travelled the world” bit was canon in the post-Crisis era it would have been a great element to add to the Bruce-Tim Drake bond.
I don’t like the Dick’s costume was inspired by Bruce bit. Dick’s Robin indentiy is inspired by his parents only.
I hate Jason’s pre-Crisis origin. “He’s exactly like Dick but with red hair but we’ll dye it black” – that’s the best you could do, DC? Seriously?

Based on the Jane Austen ask, which of the major characters (Artemisia, Ambrose, Felix, Hyder, Harry, Mariah, Amity, Jacob, etc.) are readers? And who would be their favourite authors and/or books?
Ooh lovely question! I had to have a proper think about this, and of course it's all hypothetical ahah. Artemisia and Ambrose are difficult because they'll be different people based on the choices you make in-game, but as mentioned, Arty totally fits the brief for an Austen reader of her period. Along those lines, I think she'd also be very interested by the novels of Frances Burney, and perhaps on her more adventurous days, something a little more out-there like Ann Radcliffe or Walter Scott (simply as their appeal was so wide - The Phantom of Castle Glenochrie was meant to parody this sort of literature!). Ambrose I can see very much enjoying Mackenzie's Man of Feeling, and sentimental/Romantic forerunners in the form of Laurence Sterne and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Keats wasn't particularly well-read in his own time, but I think Ambrose would be a fan :)
Speaking of poetry, Mariah is singled out as not being a novel reader. I think first-generation Romantics along the lines of Charlotte Turner Smith, William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge would really appeal to her. I can see Felix, the firebrand that he is, having perhaps the most radical tastes of all - Byron and Shelley (again, the latter wasn't really a big hit in his time) for sure, but perhaps also more nakedly political writers such as John Thelwall and Thomas Paine. Hyder is far more establishment-leaning and would tend towards eighteenth-century Augustan works - Thomas Gray, Samuel Johnson, and perhaps Pope, but on his less vulgar days - I'm thinking Iliad rather than Dunciad. On the whole I think he'd be much more interested in some non-fiction such as Edward Gibbon or David Hume.
Harry strikes me as a very well-read individual - as mentioned, I think he wouldn't be opposed to Austen in the least, but certainly would get involved with metropolitan journalism and criticism. William Hazlitt, Charles Lamb, and The Spectator would also be very up his street. He also favours the abolition of slavery and so the likes of William Cowper and Thomas Clarkson might appeal to him. Amity, we know, is a big reader, and I think she would love almost any form of travel literature, especially of the more salacious sort. The Chickwell book she reads is based on Lady Mary Wortley Montagu's travels in the Ottoman Empire, and likewise other books regarding female travel and mobility (Germaine de Stael, Aphra Behn, or Eliza Haywood perhaps) would also entertain her. Jacob however is more practical than intellectual. Poetry with a rural/natural theme - perhaps Thompson's Seasons, or the works of labouring-class writers like Robbie Burns, John Clare, or Stephen Duck, might appeal to his sensibilities.
I almost wish you'd waited a little longer to send this, as in my opinion, some of the characters with the most interesting tastes are yet to come :)
