Terror-stricken and helpless, Gotham City is a modern-day, suburban super city that is infested with criminals, drugs and filth. On the verge of bankruptcy, and with very few residents that continue to stay in the city, Gotham seems to be at a low point. Emerging from the shadows is a vigilante, one dressed like a bat. The self-proclaimed "Batman" fights criminals and anything illegal dressed in a carbon fiber, Kevlar suit. Now equipped with a trusty sidekick Robin, Batman seems to be becoming famous. Batman and Robin seem to be a symbol of hope for some, but just costumed freaks for others. Months after the first appearance of Batman, Shadow of the Bat details Batman and Robin's first real supervillain encounter ... and how they created him. A new crime boss arrives in Gotham, calling himself The Joker. A ruthless murderer, The Joker dons a purple suit and clown makeup. Gotham is now higher in crime and drug consumption than before the time of Batman. As The Joker recruits more people to join his side in a proclaimed "War on Gotham", Batman and Robin must fight through the criminal ranks, and use all the skills in their bodies to save Gotham for the first time . . . and definitely not the last.

Games of Gotham
In Gotham City, childhood is a dangerous game - and nobody plays fair. Melissa Kyle, the hidden daughter of Catwoman, spends her days slipping through shadows and her nights dodging the truth of who she is. Her best friend, Emily Nigma, lives for puzzles and mischief, while the other children of Gotham's rogues treat the streets like their private playground. But when an underground "game" between the rogues' heirs turns into a real-world contest of theft, betrayal, and revenge, the line between play and crime begins to vanish. What started as a dare becomes a war between names - the Cats, the Clowns, the Crows, and the Riddles. As alliances crumble and masks harden, Melissa finds herself standing on the edge between two worlds: the life her mother built in the shadows and the one a certain billionaire has no idea he left behind.Complete
Fight or Flight? : A Damian Wayne Book
The time has come for Damian Wayne to learn to get along with society, and in his father's words, that means going to a real 'human infested' public school. When he is forced, with much anger on the subject, to attend Gotham Academy, he must learn how to survive without using a katana, or brute force, when he feels threatened, and to 'socialize' with whom he thinks he has no place. He believes, soon, that he will be the boss, since he is the son of Bruce Wayne, however, because of his shorter size and his higher IQ, the other kids in his grade begin to tease him, and leave him questioning his place. Seeking to find where he belongs, after an argument with Bruce, Damian returns to the League of Assassins, to claim what's rightfully his, as the next Ra al Ghul. There, he must make a choice that'll define his future. Will he stay with the League, or return home to his father and family just in time for the holidays? Damian must choose his destiny... With all the Batfam included. Written in honor of my clearly anti-social sis's favorite DC fam and character and to all the Damian fans that feel he needs some written adoration.Complete

BATMAN: Fall Of The Dark Knight #Wattys2016
An aging Batman finally crosses the line and does the one thing he swore he would never do one night during a confrontation with The Joker and his girlfriend Harley Quinn. Bruce Wayne has to deal with the repercussions of his fateful actions as not only the people of Gotham turns on Batman but also his former allies as well, including Gotham's tough-as-nails new mayor and the first Robin Dick Grayson and Gotham's new police commissioner Harvey Bullock who replaces the retired James Gordon. His life slides into further turmoil after the sudden death of his longtime butler and confidant Alfred Pennyworth. Then, just when Bruce finally gets his life back on track with the help of former Catwoman Selina Kyle, he is forced to face an old and deadly foe Bane when he kidnaps Dick's wife and former Batgirl Barbara Gordon and their baby daughter Jane Marie. Armed with an armored Batsuit he created in case Superman ever went rogue called The Hellbat, Bruce Wayne goes into battle one last time as Batman to try to save those he cares about. AUTHOR'S NOTE: Given all the hoopla surrounding the movie Batman v. Superman, I wanted to write my own Batman and/or Superman story. After coming up with different scenarios for my story, including my own version of Batman v. Superman (which I still might write later on), I finally decided on this one (for now at least). I wanted to go beyond the controversial The Killing Joke-where The Joker shoots and paralyzes Barbara Gordon a.k.a. Batgirl-and Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns that show a blatantly darker side of BM. Of course, it will be up to the individual reader if I succeeded or not.Complete
