Summary
In trying to make sense of a series of gruesome crimes affecting those closest to her, Catwoman stumbles upon a young Jason Todd living on the streets and takes him in. She is in danger, having stuck her nose where it didn’t belong and needs to escape Gotham while trying to protect the stray. Having heard rumours of Bruce Wayne’s own fostering of the young Dick Grayson, Selina makes up a plan to save herself and her kitten that hinges on revealing she knows more about Batman than she’s let on before.
This fic explores an early years Bruce Wayne trying to do more for the city outside the suit: facing his own failures due to Gotham's corruption while trying to balance being a good father figure to both Dick and Jason. He is overworked, stressed as hell, paranoid, and worried sick about Selina.

Summary
Mild-mannered Daily Planet reporter Clark Kent just needs... to relax. Brainiac's invasion left scars on Metropolis, but time heals all wounds, and Clark believes all the world needs... is a little more time.
Unfortunately, billionaire playboy philanthropist Bruce Wayne disagrees. Strongly. He voices his disagreements. Strongly.
Set between Seasons 2 and 3 of My Adventures with Superman, this is DC Comics by way of Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio. Clark Kent, Bruce Wayne, Kara Zor-El, and even Lois Lane chase black-market Kryptonite through Metropolis and Gotham, clash with ambitious tech mogul Lex Luthor, stumble into increasingly bizarre side adventures, and contend with a threat more sinister, and yet, more human, and more heartbreaking than the Man of Steel has ever faced before.

Summary
Rule One of being a Bat: Avoid time travel at all costs.
It had felt weirdly targeted at the time, but Steph had never asked any of the others if they’d gotten the same talk. She’d had the sneaking suspicion she’d leave the conversation offended, and figured she’d cut out the middle man.
Right then, in that moment, holding a smoking cube of dubious origin and staring at a skyline she only vaguely recognized from those wistful pictures of Gotham Before that rich people liked to hang up like fine art, Stephanie had to concede that Bruce had maybe, possibly, been onto something.
“Oh, fuck me,” she said to empty air.
________________
Stephanie Brown ends up in 1967. Bruce Wayne has been Batman for a year. She doesn't know if he's making it to year three, mainly because she might strangle him first.

Summary
The first installment of what will hopefully become a multi-work series, The Bat looks at the first months of Bruce Wayne's return to Gotham and the rise of his second half: Batman. Crime abounds as statistics are covered up, and the underworld effectively rules Gotham with an iron fist. Much of the police department is under Carmine Falcone's influence, and it appears that justice is too forlorn a hope for the weary citizens of the once great city ruled by law and order. In the midst of all of this, Bruce Wayne sets off on a quest to find his parents' killer and bring him to justice; will he have the strength to do what's right? Along the way, Bruce will have every facet of his upbringing and lifestyle questioned, and the ultimate test of his will - justice or revenge - will shape the kind of man and hero he will be for the rest of his life.

Summary
“One hundred more reps.”
Bruce’s voice echoes through Dick’s mind, cold and calculating, disappointed. Disappointing is all Dick seems to be lately. Every move he does, every attack and inspection and plan seemed to have a fatal flaw that Bruce always finds, that Batman shakes his head at.
Dick is sick of it. So he sneaks out to prove himself.
It does not go as planned.

Summary
Peter's ears caught the slightest scuffle of a boot on asphalt and he turned to look further into the darkened alley. A shape formed through the shadows, a long trailing cape swallowing light and hiding the figure within. An indistinct head shape and two pointed ears.
Peter greeted him genially, “Vengeance. We've got to stop meeting in back alleys or someone will think we're up to no good.”
Or, Wong finds out what did and didn't happen at the Full Moon Party at Kamar-Taj.
OR or, Bruce Wayne hasn't quite figured out where his alter-ego fits in Gotham, but maybe this guy that saved his life then insulted him can help.

Summary
Follow me. Smile. Nod. Talk as little as necessary. Bruce was very clear in his instructions. But it's getting harder and harder to walk along and fake laugh when his brain is trying to explode out of his skull and his body feels like it's been through a wood chipper. And despite how crappy he feels, there's only one thing on Dick’s mind:
He really misses his mom.Series
