Katherine 'Kit' Valentine is a wickedly intelligent rising detective with the GCPD, the favourite of Commissioner Jim Gordon. Now, she just had to hope that it didn't eat her alive. To put it lightly; Gotham City was odd. In a constant bizarre era of crime and hatred, the city had birthed the likes of The Riddler. Edward Nygma became a mastermind miscreant right in front of their eyes and now years later, The Riddler had built an empire that nothing could topple. 

Natural enemies. Cop and Crook. 

If only it were that simple. Edward Nygma is about to test everything Kit knows and more. And Katherine Valentine is about to make Ed feel things he didn't know he still could.

DCSV's Batman: The Masked Manhunter by DOOMTHEPIC
6 parts Complete Mature
Fear is fate. A year after the events of Batman: Son Of Gotham, Bruce Wayne and the GCPD begin noticing erratic behaviour across the city of Gotham, as the citizens begin going insane and causing harm to one another, a potentially fatal gas engulfs the city, and there's one man who can stop it. Or at least try. Completed: 16th May 2023 Reviews: (Amino Mainly) ⚠️KINDA/NOT RLLY SPOILERS⚠️ "Actually really good, liked the characters a lot more in this one. Big step up from part 1" - Smithers "Overall, a great story. Kept me on my toes, I didn't know what was going to happen next a lot of the time (which might be a problem with my own works, as I feel like what I write is pretty formulaic). There's a lot more character building moments now. Riddler was actually a really fun inclusion and his presence and actions made the finale infinitely more exciting. Robin was pretty damn good and scarecrow was cool and fun and creepy yet understandable. Overall 100% your best DCSV fic and maybe your best fic overall. Better than Son Of Gotham in every way, you did a fantastic job with this." - Pyro The Dumbass "Characters were fun but defo needed more depth, gordon and scarecrow had the most depth of them. any time somebody was affected by the toxin it was fun as hell. robins mums death was shocking and great. bit rusty though. 6/10" - Wick "It was a little boring and slow paced but when it worked it really worked, I liked the majority of the characters. You did a great job with them, and Scarecrow was really intimidating." - Emira "Mr Sir is very very veryy pleased. I absolutely loved this. Masterpiece and by far the best of your work." - Mr Sir Overall Score - 🍅96% (Score from amino)

Edward Nygma is used to being like a shadow, unnoticed and unappreciated. Then one day he sees someone who is just like him yet completely different at the same time. Oswald Cobblepot, The Penguin. A man who, though by no means invisible, is seemingly underestimated by everyone he meets. Not by Ed however. A Nygmobblepot fic set in Gotham Season one. Alternative timeline/au. No sex or rude stuff in this story. IMPORTANT: Hallucination Ed's dialogue will be written in BOLD font.
