As an aspiring writer, it's difficult not to look at stories you love and wonder 'What if?' I have notice how the Joker's origin in The Killing Joke and the Joker movie (2019) both stories take place during the 1980s. But what if it took place today? That's what I try to answer! In this original work I explore how a complex character like the Joker could emerge and be influence by current social problems. It's a romantic, and specially mysterious short story that I wish one day could help me make it to DC as a comic book writer, and if I don't, at least I enjoyed writing it, and I hope you enjoy reading it! 

Disclaimer: This story is an original idea, of course I reference moments from DC comics and I borrow their characters to tell the story (After all, It's a fan fiction), but each character belongs to the respective owners.

You Never Cease To Amaze Me, Bats by Zana_Zoola14
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."

Will You Be My Daddy? ~Joker Fanfiction~ by Gingy484
62 parts Complete
What would happen if the Joker turned a four year old girl into a loyal and merciless killer? Joker meets a little girl on the street and she asks if he will be her daddy. He quickly dreams up a scheme to cause chaos with the little ragamuffin. However, despite his attempts to make the girl the perfect murderer, she is too sweet and giggly to focus on anything he tells her and ends up sidetracking him and making him laugh. He finds that he is using the plot as an excuse to have the girl around. But what happens when his girl is threatened by other villains? Will he defend her? Or what if she fails in his evil plot? How will Batman react to Joker's plan? *****TW: Attempted sexual assault of a minor in chapter 1-does not get very far but description can be jarring, so stay safe******* This story is rated PG-13, at least by me, for cursing, violence, and other mature themes and ideas. Obviously no good Joker fanfiction is going to be rated G. Read at your own risk, and don't try to report this book if you don't take this warning seriously. Know yourself and your limits. For real, if it's not appropriate for you, just don't read it, don't send hate. By the way, according Wattpad guidelines, stories are considered mature if: scenes of sex, graphic violence, or self-harm are depicted or if the media contains nudity or other inappropriate content. So cursing does not necessarily a mature story make. I own the right to my character Madeline and the plot associated with her story. I do not own any of the characters that belong to the DC Comics universe. This fanfiction will use the Jared Leto Joker as the primary source of physical inspiration, but Heath Ledger's Joker is the ideological muse here, as well as quotes and themes from other Jokers, perhaps even Gotham's Jerome Valeska. -Started June 2017- -Completed November 2018-
