Batman will stop at nothing in order to keep Gotham safe. Even if that means almost always ignoring his needs and self-preservation in order to do so. 

Maybe the severe lack of sleep built up over the years is why he ended up with the idea of escorting the Joker into the Batcave instead of an Arkham cell. Maybe it's the fact that when he looks in a mirror after sixty years on this Earth the man staring back at him and everyone else looks a bit less than half of that age.&lt;br /&gt;
Maybe Bruce really is crazy... because after gunshots to the head, leaps from 50 story buildings landing flat on the concrete, and suicide attempts galore, he can't seem to die.

Or age past twenty-five for that matter.

What's the point of truly living when death is no longer on the table? 

Little does Bruce know the answer to his pain has felt like a partial cause to it all along.


Set in a DCU (after the Killing Joke) where the Batman, Joker, and a few others are immortal by strange and different circumstances. Barbra Gorden wasn't shot and paralyzed. The events after are my own interpretations.

Unrequited Love by Ashley_J32

"What do you have to hide? An unrequited love perhaps?" Bruce Wayne is dead and that has took a toll on everyone. Gotham mourns the billionaire, but also knowing the the Bat has suddenly disappeared, the city is a wreck. The only protectors of the city is the family Bruce built. His family didn't take the news very well, especially his biological son, Damian Wayne. He still continues his journey as the boy wonder. In his recent acts, he has been more violent. Bruce's death has torn the Bat Family apart, leaving the boy alone with Alfred Pennyworth. He never expected to enjoy the manservants company but he would prefer his family to be with him too. They are rarely at the manor anymore, mostly because it felt empty without Bruce there. One night, the boy wonder crosses paths with a thief that he has ran into once before. He never got her name and never bothered to look into it. The last time he's seen her, his father was still alive. The last time he's seen her, she was stealing something small. What happens when he finds out that this thief is one no other than the daughter of Harley Quinn and the Joker? What makes the girl so special? (I do not own the characters in the book. All rights belong to DC. I do own the storyline as it is inspired by roleplays I did as my beloved Lucy Quinzel. Hope you all enjoy)

You're His Favorite Joke by ScarletFlame12

You've gotta watch out for the quiet ones and they hardly come quieter than shy but pretty Harleen Quinzel. New to Gotham City, the fledgling psychiatrist is starting her career by assessing new intakes at the infamous Blackgate Prison, a place so dangerous and ugly it makes the rest of Gotham look like a garden in springtime. Clashing immediately with the head doctor, Joan Leland, doesn't help. Let's face it-there's very little in her life to make her smile, let alone laugh. However, on the upside, she is starting to meet people. There's her new neighbor, Slade Wilson, a handsome and mysterious older man-and he finds her just as attractive. Although they definitely have chemistry, he is kind of lacking in the sense of humor department-and then he's also so secretive about his profession. Then on Christmas Day, like the best present ever, she meets someone new. Someone who makes her laugh. Someone who really cracks open her shell and brings her out of the grey, dismal mood it seems she's been in forever. So he's not conventionally handsome, with his green hair and his really, really pale complexion-what does that matter? He's got a wonderful sense of humor, he makes her pulse race, and is he ever a stylish dresser. Only problem is, he's a new intake and a probable mass murderer. Is this some kind of a joke life's playing on her? And how can she believe he's serious? And then there's Slade, who is not the kind to give up easily. He's been away, busy with a squad with suicidal tendencies, but he promised to come back for her.

Belong Here With Us (Wayne Family Adventures Fan-Fiction) Parts 1+2 by Beck_Stynes_027

"That name's familiar, right, Mr. Wayne?" Gotham's vigilantes find a mysterious young woman. Unharmed but shaken. No reason for being there. No origin or trace. She drops a bombshell; she knows Batman's identity and she's just outraced death. Her refusal to trust the Batfamily and connection to a man, whose very moniker spells danger, brings tension. Walls must crumble for her old self to emerge from memories of demons-past and present-that even she's reluctant to acknowledge. She may also just be a kindred spirit; damaged. What chased her to them? Unimaginable worlds exist outside your comfortable cities or worst nightmares... but love, family, loss-and romance-are universal. Mourning alone, far from home, is where no one deserves to be. Once reached: (only mentioned because tons of other stories do it) #1 in Batman #1 in Crime Syndicate #8 in PTSD First draft.

Brace yourself; that's the trigger warning. Protagonist is an OG character based in 'Wayne Family Adventures' universe. Includes features from other DC movies, universes and comics, with some author-original concepts. Cover's Webtoon art with a stock image.

Beautiful Chaos by BlackBull4LIFE

A lonely young women's life changes the very night of Murray Franklin's murder, on live television and it is a change that her heart will never forget. When she spots a man passed out and bloody, in an alley, that same night and even when she sees who it is, even though she hesitates for a moment, that doesn't stop her from trying to help him, despite him resisting it. Even though her mind wills against it, her fragile heart finds a lifeline in his. She soon comes to realize that this man is so much more than this "Joker" person that's all over the news, but a kind and beautiful soul that has suffered greatly, as has hers. She comes to find that he has a brilliant light that glows brightly inside of her very own darkness as the moon gleams in the night's sky, for even the moon would not shine so brightly, without the darkness that surrounds it. 🌙 A/N: I just want to say first, that this fic will never be abandoned! I promise. It's already done anyway but needs editing. I update every 7 to 10 days ♡

You Never Cease To Amaze Me, Bats by Zana_Zoola14

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."

STAY WITH ME (BatJokes fanfic) {PART 1} by BLOODYMARYISHERE666

Part one of a book series, the first book, Stay With Me, shows Joker's deep connection with Batman, and Batman's need for Joker's attention. In this book Batman is having a large string of unfortunate event/deaths, almost to the point he can't take it anymore. Joker notices this and attempts to help. But the way Joker helps may come to a surprise to the readers. (In this book, i try to get some sort of character development since i realized a lot of my book's don't have any. Also, i don't know how to write someone who doesn't know what feelings are, so i'm sorry if that's pretty bad) :_) Also. i love comments, so if you want to comment, go ahead! i love reading them

Well Fu- by TheBubbleBoy124

'Gotham.....I'm in Gotham.......I'M IN GOTHAM' Yes, yes you were 'What, what the actual hell is happening, is this a dream? Am I de'- You looked over towards the alley you just emerged from 'No....no no no no no no no' You slowly made your way deeper into it 'Please, for the love of whatever deity exists here please don't be him' You found the body 'Please be a copycat, don't be the real.....don't be...' You slowly turned over the body of the man that attacked you, the man you killed "Oh..... Oh no" The face paint gave him away, as you looked into the now dead eyes of the man. That classic maniacal grin spread across his features even in death. You just killed the Joker. Now with almost every hero and villain you know gunning for you, either for their form of "protection" or to just kill you, only one thought crossed your mind. "Well Fu"- *Currently being re-edited since the beginning of this book has some spelling mistakes I have over 1k reads, am I famous now? Can I like, be a jerk and get away with it? Look at all these PEASANTS, THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW A KING IS AMONG THEM-...I need some time to calm down this happy feeling in my chest. Btw, I don't own any art in the story. If the owner of any pictures in this story want me to, I will take those pictures out and replace them. Thank you. It's my first story as well so it probably won't be that good compared to other stories like this, but I hope you enjoy. My goal is at least 69k words, I'm such a maniac. Also I just realized I spelled Harley Quinn as Harle Quin in tags, and now my stories next to a bunch of Seven Deadly Sin stories. Kill me now #2 on dccomics #1 on vigilantes (February 11th 2022) #3 on malreader (March 5th 2023) #2 on first fanfic #3 on superman (March 12th 2022) #14 on random (March 16th 2022) #1 on squad #1 on villains #1 on harlequin I'M SORRY I MISSPELLED IT I DIDN'T MEAN TO GET FIRST IN THIS TAG (March 30th 2022)
