Gotham is quiet. Too quiet.
With the most dangerous rogues of Arkham Asylum locked away, the city finally breathes-until the bodies begin to appear.
Unmarked. Untraceable. Unnatural.
A new kind of terror stalks the streets under the cover of night: a ghost in a black cloak, a mask of twisted mercy, and a doctrine of death for those deemed "sick." No clues. No witnesses. Only the dead remain.
As fear spreads like a disease, Batman is left to face an enemy unlike any he's hunted before-an intelligent, meticulous killer who sees himself not as a monster, but a cure.
And Gotham? Just the first patient.

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.

Cloaked Intentions.
Title: Shadows and Secrets Blurb: Gotham City doesn't forgive and it doesn't forget-and neither does the man watching over it from the rooftops. As a forensic psychologist brought in to help the GCPD profile Gotham's most dangerous criminals, you've always relied on logic and evidence to make sense of the chaos. But when your cases begin crossing paths with the city's infamous vigilante, Batman, your world gets darker-and more dangerous-than you ever imagined. He's infuriating, secretive, and impossibly brilliant. And he's got a knack for showing up when you least expect it. As you dive deeper into Gotham's twisted underworld, the line between ally and adversary begins to blur. When a new threat emerges, one that ties your past to his present, the stakes become terrifyingly personal. In a city where trust is a weakness and love can be a weapon, the question isn't whether you'll survive Gotham-it's whether you'll survive him. Because in Gotham, secrets don't stay in the shadows-they burn.![But You Can Call Me Gotham (#JustWriteIt #FreshStart) [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/48826730-256-k290830.jpg)

After the chaos of the Joker's rampage, Bruce Wayne retreats deeper into the shadows, haunted by the ghosts of his past and a city still clinging to broken hope. But when Selina Kyle returns, every scar he thought he'd hidden starts to ache again. She's unpredictable. Alluring. And dangerous. When a series of strange deaths ripple through Gotham's criminal underworld, Batman and Catwoman find themselves tangled in a mystery no one else dares to touch-one that leads to secrets buried beneath Wayne legacy itself. But trust comes slow, and Selina's secrets may be as deadly as the ones Bruce swore to bury. And in the shadows, something darker stirs. A new enemy is rising. One who doesn't want to kill the Bat- he wants to break him. Body. Mind. And soul. When Gotham falls into chaos once again, Bruce will be forced to face the cost of wearing the mask and what's left of him without it. But this time, he's not alone. Love cuts as deep as vengeance. And in the end, it might be the only thing that saves him. Warning: This story contains mature themes, including violence, death, depression, and suicide
