"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.All Rights Reserved

Batman & Robin by Mr_Writerrrrrr

FULL STORY PUBLISHED. The city bleeds beneath the flicker of broken streetlights, Whispers echo through concrete veins.. Of monsters built in labs. Of kings crowned in crime, Of a darkness even the night won't claim. And above it all, two shadows move. One-a man forged in grief and fire, wearing armor and silence like scripture. The other-a boy born from rubble and ash, his fists quiet, his rage sharper than steel. The world calls them Batman and Robin. Ghosts in capes.. storms without thunder. A father and son not by blood, but by the war they wage. And as venom stains the alleys, as chaos sharpens its knives, they descend once more into the city that made them. Crime doesn't sleep, The night doesn't vanish and give people hope after the sun touches their skin. The heroes of Gotham give that hope. In darkness..and in light. I do not own the rights to the characters in this story of course but Ash Calder, Adrian Locke, Dante Creed and The Gotham Panther who shows once in the story, are original characters with my own ideas and their own backstories that I've created. This universe is not directly based on any specific Batman universe, It has hints of inspiration from other Batman works but ultimately its ideas I've thought of, even if something is in the story that's already been done, It's hard to do something new with these characters when there's so much out about them already, there's years of comic, live action, animated and fan iterations of the universe so it's genuinely hard to think of new events to put the character or characters through, That's why the absolute Batman universe has been getting so much love because of how different it is and how new it is because nobodies done anything with Batman's character or the universe like the creators of the Absolute Batman universe.

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."

Batwoman: Year One by TyrannosaurKing

After returning to New York City after seven years of disappearance at 19 years old, billionaire-CEO of Chang Enterprises and renowned paleontologist Kaitlyn Murphy Chang, vowed her vengeance against the crime that took her mother and father away from her. Donning the identity of a bat, Kaitlyn took to the streets, tackling street crooks to corrupt politicians, exposing the problems of the corrupt system that affect the lives of those in the city she's sworn to protect. As she progresses in her war on crime and corruption as the masked vigilante that some took to calling their very own Batwoman of New York City, she uses the image of a bat to strike fear into the hearts of those who use their power to oppress and harm the innocent, but she also attracts the attention of someone from her past, but one that would pose a direct threat to not only her, but the city she loves and is a part of her legacy. Be warned, there's a lot of dark themes associated with the story and a lot of gritty vibes. So if this makes you uncomfortable, you're welcome to avoid the fanfiction and don't read it. This is also an alternate take on the Batwoman character using inspirations from various medias to make the story darker and grittier, including references to and various movies or other forms of media, including Batman Begins, Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, Matt Reeve's The Batman, and vice versa.

Red Hood: Whitewings by Dan-83

-------------------------------------------------------- In no world did a broken mind become repaired under light-and for a man so eternally desperate to be anything but 'broken' it's the absence of such trivial jovialities, it was not his goal to become obsessed with chasing just that. "Why did death spare you?" "Why do you cultivate self-destructive behaviour?" "And why do you, Jason Todd, cling to your humanity as if it's all you have?" Those questions...those frivolously thrown around queries, only matter when someone listens. Yet in an endless hall, one called life, it was those very questions that kept us going. "Why do you do what you do?" -------------------------------------------------------- Characters courtesy of DC-Comics. Based off DC-Comics.
