A gender bend BatJokes story.
22 year old Beatrice Wayne watched her parents die at 8. 23 year old Jacqueline "Jackie" Napier killed her father when she was 12. Now, Batman faces a completely new villain (oc) for the first time and it's clear that this one is different, this one has more potential, to be Batman's greatest enemy, greater than the Penguin, greater then the Riddler, greater than Harley Quinn. Batman needs help from someone, someone she knows won't care if she dies, but someone she knows that can't stand to be upstaged. Batman needs the Joker.
tw; knife, murder, self harm
also, Gotham has pretty much just been using a child as their police force for the past 7 years and yeah.
Note:
Batman is still called Batman because it has a better ring to it than Batwomen. In this universe, Batman is seen less publicly and calls herself Batman.
Another note:
canon? never heard of it, batman becomes batman for usual reasons, no robin/batfamily, jokers origin? vat of acid and some other stuff I made up. I have watched 3 batman movies (Batman (Tim Burton), Batman begins, and LEGO batman) and bits of Gotham. I also read an absurd amount of wikipedia pages.
cover is a random photo I found online.
I do not own Batman or Joker or Gotham
