Man, I wish this were the meme that asked about the last thing your character did, because Alan's last act was to FIGHT WITH BRUCE WAYNE ABOUT MONORAILS.

Hahaha, nice. ...why monorails

That's what Alan keeps asking himself.

(They're reopening the Gotham monorail and he's being forced to attend. Also Bruce bought him a year-long monorail pass when he started bitching about public transportation.)

Well, that'll do it.

ARE YOU GOING TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS WITH ALAN OR NOT

GENIUS TAKES TIME

I WILL DO THEM ALL, BUT NOT ALL AT ONCE

(a)

Well, I have a ton of Alan fanon--the trick is finding some I haven't shared with you.

1. His father's name was Nathaniel (never Nathan, which of course meant that when Alan got to be a teenager he would take to referring to him as "good old reliable Nathan"). He was a psychologist who made his living administering intelligence tests and the like to prospective employees of various companies. He was always frustrated by and more than a little resentful of the work he wound up doing--it wasn't as interesting or creative as he'd have liked it to be.
2. Alan's wife died in a car accident. She was at fault. There were two boys (teenagers) in the other car--one lived and one didn't. Alan sometimes wondered (and would wonder still, if he permitted himself to think about it) if it could have been a suicide.
3. He was a vegetarian for about two or three weeks in law school, because his girlfriend at the time was (he was much more malleable in those days).
