#next time I'll talk about Barbara and Bruce friendship dinamic and how cute and broterly it is

[just-an-enby-lemon]

One of the things I enjoy about Eddie and Babs dinamic in Unburied and makes me really defend their friendship is that Edward respects Barbara. He is a little shit, but he does respect her from the beggining (in contrast to Vicky and Alfred) just like he respects Bruce and used to respect Gordon (no one can convince me Edward doesn't particially blames Gordon for never investigating or exposing the truth). I even made a list of moments were you can notice that even though he is a little shit to Barbara he cleary holds her in high regards:

- When he hears the news of Bruce's death his go to move is to call Barbara.

- One of the first things he says to her in the Arkham confrontation is that she is too good to be a cop.

-He sees no problem in interrupting Barbara and Alfred emotional conversation even when they say he is interrupting and he cannot read the room at all but when Barbara cuts him after his outbust with Vicky he shuts up. He let's Barbara keep the interrogation and doesn't speak until they're out the building

- He complained about it but still used the gloves.

- He is genuinally confused by her atitude when he is holding the knife. Hurting her never even passed through his head and he even sounds hurt that she though he would even when she has a lot of good reasons to be afraid.

- When Barbara is telling her story about why she became a cop he actually can emphatize with the situation - a thing he was shown having dificuillty before - and even points out to Barbara how Jim was probably terrifiled for her.

- When she orders him to distracts the guards he complains but he follows her lead. In fact the only moment he doesn't follow her lead is when it's about Bruce (this is a small note to myself about how this is not the place to add a riddlebat coment).

So yeah. There is mutual respect and care in the mist of bickering. There is a genuine potential for a good platonic relationship between two very different people of the opposite gender in a similar place in life and I would love that.
