The Dark Knight Beyond: Prologue

The Dark Knight Beyond is my first venture into fan fiction, combining elements from both "The Dark Knight" Trilogy and "Batman Beyond" animated series along with element of key events in the comic book history, much like the Nolan films, it is set in a very realistic world with certain aspects of all the elements being altered to fit into the universe depicted in the films. The story takes place five years after the events of "The Dark Knight Rises" with the exception of the prologue which takes place right as Bane is beginning his occupation of Gotham. It centers around the return of The Joker and the death of Blake who takes on the name Nightwing, as the catalyst for drawing the original Batman out of hiding. Wayne Enterprises has collapsed in bankruptcy after the clean energy program blew up in the bay and has been rescued by Powers Technology to form Wayne-Powers, whose CEO, Derrick Powers is hiding a secret identity of his own as the international arms dealer and manufactureer known only as Blyght. Young Terry McGinnis who turns to Blake before his death for aid in proving that Powers was behind the murder of his father, only to find himself the new protege of the original Dark Knight, Bruce Wayne. And all the excitement that you could expect in the final game between The Joker and Batman, before the new generation takes over.
