Gotham has had a reputation for being home to many criminals, but Gotham has never seen crime like this.
Gotham City falls under chaos as psychopaths unleash their madness upon the city. Gotham has been home to organized crime, but never pure madness.
The city is being morphed into a madhouse warzone. But of course, the arrival of evil opens the possibility for new heroes.
This is my version of the story of the Batman. The story will be quite different from the original story, but most characters are still the property of DC Comics.

BATMAN: Black Mirror
"He's exactly like me - it's like looking in a mirror...and my reflection is cracked." ~Bruce Wayne A new darkness the likes of which the criminal underworld of Gotham City has never seen before since the rise of the Joker, stalks its streets every night. No crime escapes its sight and no one, innocent or guilty, is safe from its rage. It feeds and grows from shadows, becoming stronger with every sinister thought, every action and drop of spilt blood. It is a creature born from tragedy - but to Bruce Wayne, it's a mirror image. BATMAN: Black Mirror is an interconnecting tale of two people who come from different places in life, yet meet in the middle to reflect opposite sides of the same being. What would've happened to Bruce after his parents' murder if he didn't have Alfred to comfort him? What if he was left to fend for himself with no one to care? What choices would he have had to make in order to survive and would his already suffocating darkness grow deeper and mixed with an endless need for violence and revenge. These are the questions Bruce constantly asks himself, but they become more profound when he meets a young orphaned Eli sitting before the Wayne's graves. He's not like other children and it disturbs Bruce that the child seems to perfectly reflect the darkest parts of his soul.Complete

The Bat and the Jester
This is a realism-based story that takes place in modern 21st century Gotham City, a fictional city in an unnamed state along the eastern seaboard in what is assumed to be the United States. There are no meta-humans, or any other beings with any kind of super-powers, and all of the Bat's gizmos are based off of existing 2010 to 2020 technology. Bruce Wayne is a 27 year old man who struggles with being a CEO and a masked vigilante, Penguin is a typical, yet eccentric crime boss, Harleen Quinzel is having trouble dealing with what she was, compared to what the Joker turned her in to, and as for the Joker himself? He is, for lack of a better term: Bat-Shit crazy. This is my personal view of what might happen if a masked and armored vigilante began a crusade to clean up crime in a city the size of Boston or Manhattan. I tried to make the characters as real as possible, although I took a little poetic license and made the GCPD consider the Bat more of a nuisance rather than a wanted criminal, which while realistic would have created an entirely different story. Enjoy!Complete
