Batman: Why I Laugh

Anguish drives a man to trauma. Trauma drives a man to desperation. Desperation drives a man to revenge. Revenge drives a man to remorse. And remorse drives a man into madness.
A killer is on the loose in Gotham. The calling card? A single playing card. The dead are found with the same scars: their eyelids gauged off, and a smile carved into their skin. Victims have no pattern
A widow
A prisoner
A Gang
An officer
A bat?
As everything escalates, it becomes clear that the enemy is not just a killer, but the walking incarnation of Mania itself, who claims to have been reborn as "the Joker."
This is my personal take on the emergence of the Joker, and his reign of terror on Gotham, based loosely on elements from the comics, (ideally, 'The Killing Joke') Fandom articles/Quora answers, video games, and the 'Gotham' TV series. Most events in this book don't portray whatever may happen in the actual 'canon' (or alternate canons) but more what I believe could happen between the characters portrayed.

Love Lost, Love Home
Rowan Wayne never expected her life to turn out this way. Born to the Joker under the name "Ace", she was taken into the foster care system when she was four and the Joker dragged her along to his first appearance in Gotham. She was quickly adopted by Bruce Wayne. She grew up knowing him as her Father, and was there when he took in Dick Grayson, and then Jason Todd. When she was sixteen, and Jason was seventeen they began dating. When he was twenty one and her twenty, he went after the Joker, alone. He didn't come home. She scoured the city to find him, but for six months, they heard nothing. Until Bruce was sent a video tape. Rowan was devastated that Jason had been murdered. For five years she tried to recover, and suddenly, Scarecrow begins a complete take over of Gotham City with a mysterious stranger, only called "The Arkham Knight", who seems to know everything about Bruce. And about her. What will she find out as the night progresses? And how will she handle the truth when she finally finds out who the Arkham Knight is? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (A/N: Big trigger warning for a gore, violence, and mentions of suicide!

A Modern Joke
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.Concluida

Belong Here With Us (Wayne Family Adventures Fan-Fiction)
"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. Love, family, loss-and romance-are universal. Mourning alone, far from home, is where no one deserves to be. What chased her to them? Unimaginable worlds exist outside your comfortable cities or worst nightmares...

Injustice Gods Among Us x Male Reader
A few hours. It only took a few hours for our greatest ally to become our greatest threat. On a normal day like any other, The Joker once again breaks out of Arkham and reeks havoc on the world, only this time he has a new buddy to play with in Superman. The Clown Prince of Crime, along with the help of Scarecrow, combines fear toxin with Kryptonite to drug the Kryptonian into thinking he's fighting Doomsday when in reality it's really Lois Lane, who at the time was carrying the son of her and Superman and a remote detonation device built into Lois' heart that's rigged to blow Metropolis to the ground not to mention killing 8 million people. In a rageful state, Superman flies over to Arkham Asylum en route to Batman and Joker, and when he gets there he kills The Joker and becomes the biggest criminal the world has ever known. After that Superman makes the One Earth Government or 'Regime' to bring peace, whereas Batman and Robin(Y/n L/n) make the Insurgency as a way to combat Superman and make him see that what he's doing is wrong. Along the way death comes to any who oppose Superman with a few well known names like Oliver Queen(Green Arrow) and Dick Grayson(Nightwing) who gets killed by Damian Wayne.

And since she's a journalist so she always knows what's going on in Gotham plus with her dad being Batman. She soon gets dragged into the whole mess. But as it turns out Katie and Joker knew each other before he's gone insane! ----- I stare at him as he came closer to me. "Do you want to know how I got these scars?" He asks touching them with his knife he pulled out seconds before. "Yes." I said my voice firm and unwavering. He slams me into the wall holding the knife against my neck. "I'm not afraid of you." I state. He lets go of me and laughs like the maniac he is. He points the knife at me. "That's what I love about you doll." He says grinning. __________Concluida
by reason of insanity (JOKER X READER) ❌
You're a mostly sane patient at Arkham Asylum. He's the Clown Prince of Crime, and now your new cellmate. If you want to survive the asylum, you'll have to survive him first. Featuring far too many uses of the word "fuck", weird face touching, a couple Twilight references, and very bad bedtime stories, this almost looks like a love story.
