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!

Doctor Harleen Quinzel, a psychiatrist turned psychopath by none other than The Joker - The Clown Prince of Crime himself. The Joker was always going to be a challenge for Harleen, but she didn't expect him to react in such a way to her treatment. She ended up seeing things that nobody else got to see, a side which was kept completely hidden from everyone else. Harleen Quinzel was determined to 'fix' The Joker...but maybe it ended up going too far the other way. They developed a unique and unbalanced love interest for each other. When Harleen Quinzel eventually accepted her affection, she escaped with her 'puddin' and later took on the alias of Harley Quinn - The Joker's girl. The other half to his insanity. Their relationship proved difficult, but like any addiction...Harleen kept running back with open arms. Some people will do CRAZY things when they're in love. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello! Welcome to Diamonds and Scars! My very first fanfiction! I hope you enjoy :) I'll keep it updated with new chapters as much as possible. Feel free to give me any suggestions or comments. I'd appreciate the feedback! Harley Quinn and The Joker are my favourite characters in the DC universe and this inspired to write a fanfiction about them. I don't own the characters, I just decided to write for my own benefit and anyone else who would enjoy reading an alternate perspective of well known Batman characters. Based on characters Harley Quinn and Joker from their Suicide Squad appearances. This fanfiction has Harley Quinn's origin story as well as some twists, turns and some completely new stories based on the Batman universe.

You Never Cease To Amaze Me, Bats

1 part Complete Mature

At first, it was a regular night for Bruce as he went out through the night as the dark vigilante, Batman. As time ticked by, the night grew - stranger - beneath the bat signal's light, was a note. From the Joker. Months pass before Batman is seen out on the streets again. But he's different, strange. But most importantly, what is up with his eyes? ----- In this world, Batman doesn't have a Robin. He never has. He sticks to himself; even the Justice League don't see him. No one sees Batman without a mask except Alfred. Batman is darker, already slightly twisted in the head - he's spent his whole life, fighting people like the Joker, people who don't deserve his pity. So he doesn't give then them any. He holds grudges even beyond the memory of others. He hates asking for help. ----- "You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."
