Pre-entry notes
Hello!
Just a quick note re: Bruce's position in canon, and what constitutes canon. I'll get it up on his bio at some point soon.
He's coming in from just after The Incredible Hulk, pretty much right after the culmination of that movie. So he's pre-Avengers at this point. I'm going to be ignoring Hulk, because a) I didn't like it, and b) The Incredible Hulk started with him zapping himself with the gamma rays, so it's essentially a first-movie anyway.
Obviously, he's not going to be shouting about his alter-ego. He won't be surprised if anyone from his world knows about the Hulk though - the Other Guy wasn't exactly discreet when he came back to America. And when he's become a little more acquainted with the bar, and how it works, he won't be surprised to hear that people from other worlds know about him either. He's a scientist, he's familiar with the theory of parallel universes and whatnot. I don't want him specifically canon-punctured, but recognising his name/the Hulk is OK. Just give him a little while to settle in to the place first, please.
If any pup tries to deliberately goad him into turning, his reaction will be much like it was with Tony when he tried it in The Avengers. Though with maybe a little less humour, if he doesn't like you as much as he likes Tony. If any pup would IC'ly try to push him that far, please still do tag! He'll just remove himself from the situation after a while. Milliways is a fairly enclosed space, and we can't be putting it back together every couple of weeks from people making him rage out. The bar may never see the Hulk! We'll see. I'm playing that one by ear. If your character becomes good friends with him though, and needs a hand on their home world, we should be able to work something out.
So, I think that's it. Apart from - I know there's comic book/TV/film disparity over whether he's an actual MD, as well as physicist. I'm going with Avengers canon here, and assuming he has doctoring capabilities. I think I'll end up having him not possessing official qualifications, though. Helping people under-the-radar in the Third World seems like something he'd do.
OK. So! Any questions or comments, leave them here. Or email at writetolive at gmail.

Just going on my interpretation of Betty, I think she'd probably say a fair bit. Not because she's indiscreet, but she'll know Erik, and trust him. I assume. And she won't know (unless he tells her) that he's seen Bruce, and could possibly confront him with it.
I mean, I doubt she'd offer up what Bruce feels about it, but seeing as there's footage on the internet of the Hulk, his existence can't really be denied. So I expect she'd fill in details on the accident, and then what happened after with her father.
And if you write it, I'll be first in line to read it! :D

It's managed to grow to such a length, now, I've split it in two.
Part the first
Part the second
Part one is mostly set up for part two, but still.
Also, Part two is totally not finished yet, but I wanted to show what I'd done to someone. :)

I love it! Hahaha, it's going to make their next conversation interesting. I love how Erik's piecing it together. Awesome!
Bruce is going to have an EP in the next couple of days, off the back of his stay in the cells. Erik's welcome to tag, of course! And I look forward to seeing these posted. :D

On a different topic - I was meaning to send you a PM today anyway. I'm doing the Christmas Ghosts plot with Bruce Wayne, and during the course of his 'past', I used Alfred in something he saw. And then realised that that's not cool without permission, so I've stopped the thread while I ask you if it's OK to use him.
It's nothing major, just Bruce being taken back to the first Christmas after his parents died. He's crying in his room, and older!Bruce wanders off with the Ghost and finds Alfred wrapping a present for him in his quarters. And Bruce doesn't remember getting the present (a train), so it's a 'hey, Bruce, you're often a total jerk to Alfred' moment (which I think he often is, in canon) for him to realise, and hopefully stop doing it. Is that OK? I can let you see the tags I've done so far if you like, and I'll only continue with permission. If it's not cool, I'll delete them, no worries.
Man, I almost wish I weren't going to London this weekend, so I could give BB an EP tonight. Bah.

And yes, Erik and Bruce (Banner) is definitely going to be interesting :D

Hahaha, can't wait. Because I need more reasons to make BB awkward, clearly. :D
