Okay, I’m gonna talk about this. The cafe scene is a favourite, but I wanted to monitor Bruce a little, looking at his body language. In the first gif, when he did an impression of Harley, he blinks a lot and looks away. This suggests feeling awkward, which is understandable, he’s playing pretend with John.

The second gif I love, because it screams smitten to me. He’s completely relaxed, but not only that, he makes himself appear smaller, more petite or frail. He’s also smiling and diverting his eyes. I don’t know if writers were going for this, but that’s how it looks to me. Honestly, it’s adorable.

I find myself thinking that perhaps, JUST PERHAPS, this is when Bruce starts to see John as more than a friend, even if he doesn’t really know it yet. The whole scene is brilliant (provided you pick the “be yourself” choice, so rip me, but the other one is good too). The writers did say that this “date” was important, and that John might not be after just Harley’s feelings.

I am starting to believe that up until ep4, it’s us as players to decide if we have developed a friendship in John, and with what happens in ep4, how important is that friendship, and if we choose the right choice or not.
