My name is Richard Johnson and I've always been a Batman fan. I love who he is and the badassery that he embodies. A man with the skill and intelligence to fight gods. He has all of those cool toys and is the best fighter in the universe. I especially love him in the Arkhamverse game series. He was strong, smart and practically unbeatable. Only downside is that over the course of the games, pushes people away even those he cares about. He damages his love life by not being with anyone towards the end of Arkham knight and he supposedly kills himself to save Gotham after his identity is revealed.

Personally if I was him, I wouldn't have pushed people away. It's the people close to you that can give you the strength to keep going and help you survive. Also my love life would still be intact because my love for the women I have with me would keep me centered. Plus Batman is a goddamn chick magnet with is pretty much a way for him to make a lot of female allies and get laid in the process. That's literally the next best thing about being Batman.

All of those women in his life and he turns them down all because of his mission. I get it his mission is noble but seriously come on you have all of this pussy coming your way and you turn it down more times than any man would sanely do just so that Gotham and the world is safe. Hell most of the women are superheroes who can help him in his mission while others are super villains who could be redeemed if given the motivation. No wonder he's doomed to be alone because he willingly can't become happy and when he decides that he does, life just brings him down.

Well enough of my rant, let's get on with my story. I'm a 22 years old overweight Hispanic, living alone in a one bed room apartment and no girlfriend at all to keep me company. Never even had sex or been on a date which is pretty lame to be honest but it doesn't really bother me. I just finished replaying the Arkham knight. One of the best games to conclude the Arkham series. I decide to shut down my game system and go get something to eat for dinner.

I go for a walk to the Sonic near me which is like 4 blocks away. Their desserts are amazing but really unhealthy. I don't really care about my health cause I know that I don't have much time to live anyway. I've been diagnosed with lung cancer a few weeks ago. Never told my family or what's left of my friends in my lack of social life. In all honesty I've never been afraid of death. Many people I know have died and I've accepted my own mortality. Don't want to be a burden to anyone.

As I start walking, I notice that a car is swerving a little in the intersection. I don't pay much mind since it's an older vehicle and the wheel isn't as smooth as new vehicles. This was my mistake. The car doesn't stop at the red light and I'm still walking. I realize too late that the car is near me and hits me hard. I'm sent flying to the air and then land on the ground. The pain doesn't come at first, my body is in shock until a few minutes later.

I can feel my broken bones, my lungs being pierced by my ribs, my heart racing as fast as it can to keep me alive. So this is what dying is like. I admit it's painful and I fucking want it to end. My eyesight is gone. I can't see anything. I can't even hear anything but I know I'm still alive. I won't be for long though. I start seeing my life flash through my blind eyes. I see the bullying that I suffered through because of my size, the hate I was given from my parents because of my pessimistic point of view and the poor choices I've made that lead me to this point.

I'm a failure based on what I saw. I failed at life. At first I didn't really care about it because I though I had more time but now I do. I can feel my tears leak from my eyes as my life is ending. So many mistakes and I did nothing to fix them and may never will. I deserve death. This is my penance for all of the things I've done. I don't expect anyone to remember me or mourn. I only want people to be happy and I know that my existence just brings them down so my death is their way of getting said happiness.

Dying for the happiness of others is all I wanted despite my pessimism. I know it's a very contradictory notion but it is what it is. This is my end. I can feel myself taking my last breath and then I was gone.

Or so I thought.

I wake up in this white room where I see this white man wearing this 50s style suit with a top hat and a cane. He looks at me with a sad smile.

"Hello Richard, it's a pleasure to meet you but I wasn't supposed to see you this soon." said the man.

"Who are you? Where am I? How do you know my name? And you do realize that I was dying with cancer right? I ask him in a single breath.

"I'm known by many names over the countless millennia. You know me as The Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the End. I'm am God. This is known as the nexus. It connects to many worlds and many timelines. The reason I said that i wasn't supposed to see you was because you were not gonna die from lung cancer. It would've been benign in a month or so and you would've lived a long life until the age of 80" The newly named God said.

I was shocked to even meet my maker, let alone know that I would've been cured of my cancer "I still died though from a car" I said to him.

"Yes you did" he said sadly "that was not suppose to happen but every now and again mistakes are made."

I wasn't entirely shocked that he, God the omnipotent being that knows everything, made a mistake. I guess mistakes sometimes just happen for him too

"You are here because I have made a compromise to send you to a world of your choosing. You are a good man but you just made some poor choices despite their good intentions. In whatever world you decide, you will live and become whatever it is you want to be." God said.

This was an opportunity of a lifetime. No way in hell am I gonna pass this up. I didn't even need to think of the place I want to go to. I want to go to the Arkhamverse. Maybe I can save the people that died and redeem those who have gone to villainy.

"I've made a decision" I said to my maker "I will go to the Arkhamverse. There could be so much that I can do to save the city."

"Very well" he said to me as he opens a portal in front of me. "You will be reborn as in such a world. I hope you enjoy the life you wish to lead and maybe have fun with some of the women there in the process "

"What do you mean by-" I tried to say until I was sucked into the portal.

Everything was dark. I couldn't see a thing until I heard voices. I can barely move. Then suddenly I see a bright light and rubber hands on me, guiding me out of where I am.

I then realize that I'm in a hospital room and I'm being held by a doctor. Holy shit I'm a baby. The doctor gives me to two people. I recognize their faces, they are Thomas and Martha Wayne. Then this means that I'm Bruce. Holy Shit. I'm motherfucking Bruce Wayne. The Bat himself. The greatest hero of the DC Universe. God if you can hear me then you are the fucking man.

"Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Wayne, you have a healthy baby boy" said the doctor.

"Look at him thomas he is beautiful" said Martha.

"Indeed, he is definitely a Wayne" Said Thomas.

"What shall we name him?" Asked Martha.

"We'll name him after your father, Bruce" said Thomas. Martha smiles at the name.

"Yes Bruce Wayne. Welcome home my child." Martha said to me and I just smile a cute baby smile.

This is it. This is my opportunity to become my favorite hero in the world and give the people a better symbol of hope and fear. Look out Gotham cause Batman is coming and I won't make the same mistakes as him.

Ok guys. This is my first Batman SI story where he gets sent to the Arkhamverse. Now there is a lot of gaps in years in the game that lead Batman to his end in Arkham knight. I'll do my best to fill it until we reach that point.

Now since I'm gonna make this a harem. I want to hear your selection. I also want to hear what side stories you want to read for this.

I hope you guys enjoyed the prologue. This is me signing out.
