Bats and Justice

by GothamCraze

Dick Grayson was forced to take up the mantle of Batman as Bruce was called by the League to go to Thanagar and while Dick was in the midst of a dilemma between being Batman and flying solo in Bludhaven, Joker has escaped from Arkham bringing with him all horrors the Gothamites don't want to face. Can the new Batman and his team of crime fighters stop them?

1. Gotham's Heroes

I have decided to start my story from the very beginning as I felt the plot was too unsatisfactory, So I have come up with a new plot and this one's much better!

Oh and in this story I have made a lot of changes to the plots and I have decided to add "back story" type of things in a few chapters. Also I made the Wayne household a big family meaning "Dick, Jason, Tim, Stephanie and Cassandra" live together and they're the children of Bruce whilst "Barbara" is an outsider who's new to Gotham, Sorry! It's for the story so I hope you understand.

Before I start uploading chapters, I want to introduce you to a few main characters who'll appear a lot and some of whom are my creations, So here they are;

Dick Grayson (Batman. He is 23 in this story. Originally Nightwing but due to Bruce's mission with the JLA, He takes the mantle)

Jason Todd (Red Hood. He is 22 in this story and his partnership with one certain Bat is just fantastic)

Timothy Drake (Red Robin. He is 21 in this story. He happens to be at the center of a beautiful romance)

Cassandra Cain (Black Bat. She is also 21. I don't know her actual personality so I'm sorry if I'm wrong at describing her)

Stephanie Brown (Batgirl. She is 21 but I started her out in the story as a 20 year old, You'll see why)

Barbara Gordon (Normal citizen. She is 21. New to Gotham with a Wayne scholarship at Gotham University and lives with her two best friends)

Maria Chase (A friend of Barbara who lives with her, She is also 21 and all three girls are of the same age)

Ellie Jackson (Also a friend of Barbara who lives with her, She's British and also happens to be the love interest of a certain Bat)

Luke Fox (Batwing. He is 23 and just so happens to be a classmate and close friend of Dick Grayson)

Katherine Kane (Batwoman. She is also 23 and she works alone and although she has connections to the Bat family, She operates solo mostly)

Cissie King-Jones (Arrowette. She is 21 and a part of an amazing chapter that you will surely love)

Artemis Crock (Artemis. She is 23 and flies solo although she still works with the JLA)

Wally West (Flash, No longer with the alias Kid Flash. He is 23. He may no longer be best friends with Dick but they are still close together)

Damian Wayne (Still a months old baby and is currently living with one of Bruce's relatives in England)

Selina Kyle (No longer Catwoman, She is 46 and is going to get married to Bruce Wayne soon)

Helena Bertinelli (Huntress. She is 21 and she is part of an amazing chapter, Her appearances are very less though)

Dinah Lance (Black Canary. She too is 21 and will play a huge part in a lot of chapters)

Bruce Wayne (Batman. He is 47 and is also a fiancée of Selina Kyle, shame marriage was postponed due to his mission with the JLA)

So there's a list of the main characters but this is just a few, More and more will appear as the chapters flow by. Some of them are "Cassandra Sandsmark, Oliver Queen, Bart Allen, Bette Kane and among others" so just keep reading. Simple right?

I will try and keep the story more Batman themed instead of mixing it with Young Justice and all, I'll try to make it more dark as in how Batman stories usually are. I also added a few villains from the latest releases by DC. Anyway, Stay tuned!
