Wayne

Note: THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL ARROWVERSE NOVEL. This novel is entirely fictional and is cut from a lot of Batman's history so he can mold well into the Arrowverse.

This is set during Season 6 of Arrow, Season 4 of Flash, Season 3 of Legends and Season 3 of Supergirl. Also, just to be on the safe side, this is also an AU (alternative universe) where everything in the Arrowverse happens but my story and any events leading off of the original universe.

This chapter will be a list of characters who will appear somewhere in the story and a few plot points, without ruining the actual story. Updates to the story itself will be sporadic and 'few and far between'.

Below is a cast list and some changes to the character that would allow better usage inside the Arrowverse. This is mearly a suggestion of who the character looks like and NOT an actual representation of who would be playing them, if CW ever did decide to launch a Batman series in the AV.

This book is a 16-chapter book. A chapter will be published when I feel it is ready, but expect one every 30 days.
