    Summary

    So, it didn’t start out like this.

     

    Alfred would scoff at the statement, about how Bruce was trying to justify the whole situation to himself. It had started out as a simple design, black everything with black outlines and black hood. It got a little more intense as the world went on, got wind of his ghost on the streets, and became scared of The Bat . So Bruce got a little more creative with it, Alfred and him had a good laugh over the name, the scare, and Alfred had a vicious streak of humor that he had passed onto his ward-

     

    So now the suit had a visible bat-theme, an insignia to drape in the shadows and to paint across the streets of Gotham.

     

    It only took a year into the whole charade of heroism for Bruce to overhear a conversation between some goons- some low level thug hired by the Riddler this week- about nothing at all pertaining to what the hell the Riddler was doing in the sewers but instead:

    “ The Batman can fly, you know, I’ve seen his wings.”

    --

    A world where nobody has wings, but people think they do, and that changes everything.

    Summary

    Clark Kent just moved into a new apartment. The building is nice. His neighbors are welcoming. He heard some good things about the guy who lived here before him.

    And then he received a postcard.

     

    Hey,
    I used to live in your apartment.
    I’m drunk in Gotham, and it’s the only address I can think of.
    Happy Holidays.
    B. W.

    Summary

    When Dick Grayson accidentally portals into the past, he finds himself on the Justice League’s Watchtower surrounded by the younger versions of the original members of the Justice League....including Batman.

    But none of them have any idea who Nightwing (or even Robin) is.

    What a perfect opportunity to create a little chaos...while also trying not to break the timestream.

    Due to shenanigans that Clark cannot possibly comprehend, let alone understand, Bruce has somehow talked him into being Batman for a week.

    And then it keeps happening.

    Or.

    How Clark Kent and Batman choose to protect what they love.
