They called Superman the Sun. With good reason. Not only because Kal gained his powers from the yellow star. But because the Sun was the bright light at the center of everything, keeping all in place with its gravity.

They called Batman the Moon. Because he was dark and mysterious, one half constantly in shadow, the other lit with the Sun's brilliance, lighting it, making it glow and give out a gentle light of its own.

The Moon and Sun, the two constants, forever dancing, pulling together and apart. But with the Earth always between them. Lunar Eclipse: the passage of the Moon through the Earth's shadow; when the Earth passes directly between the Moon and the Sun.

Oh yes, the Earth came between them. So often they were pulled apart because of their self-imposed duties, their Missions to their cities, to Earth.

But always, always, they danced, the two of the them, the Moon and Sun, chasing each other across the sky.

Beautiful imagery, Star! I liked the Earth's role in their dynamic, and the dancing imagery. :)

That was brilliant!

Perfect!

But always, always, they danced, the two of the them, the Moon and Sun, chasing each other across the sky.
Great ending!

You did such an amazing job with those descriptions of Clark as the Sun and Bruce as the Moon Star! That was so beautifully written and so fitting. I loved it. Thank you very much for sharing this story. :)

I had so much fun playing with those images, of Clark being the Sun and Bruce being the Moon, and the Earth, and their duties to it...

Oh, wow, I love how you expand the metaphor so the Earth is sometimes between them! They wouldn't have it any other way, and it works so well here. Beautiful!

I saw the quote and my first thought was how well it fitted Bruce and Clark, lol. I had a lot of fun with this one, playing with all the imagery...

Thank you for commenting, Jen, I'm really glad you liked it! :)
