The DC Stories
Stuck In The Mud - December 24, 2020
Serial murders in Gotham are not unusual. Making friends during the investigation is a bit new. Whether you can keep them when the investigation is over? Tim isn’t sure he’s old enough to have figured that one out yet.
Crimefighting's For The Birds - August 14, 2012
Even when Bruce isn't in Gotham, there's still work to be done.
Solve For X - October 12, 2017
Ray Palmer was good at math. Even when math was people. People were just…really complicated math. But that was okay, because he was good at math, so complicated equations didn't scare him. He was still working on figuring out the Unified Theory of Mick Rory, though.
Rogues, Inc. - March 28, 2018
Being hauled out of the Speed Force and thrust back into the world was the best. Reuniting with his sister was even better (although it did involve a slight amount of being punched in the face). Captain Cold was ready to take on the world again. …Except for the tiny problem where he didn't want to be a bad guy anymore, but he didn't know how to be anything else.
Being Bart - February 10, 2013
Bart Allen muses on what he is and what he isn’t. And does some schoolwork, but that doesn’t come into the story much.
Acting On Impulse - July 12, 2017
Hearing Bart Allen toss off that he didn’t really have a team was doing things to Bruce’s blood pressure. Maybe it was that it was so casual. Somehow, it felt wrong for a boy that enthusiastic to be that accustomed to being alone. Companion piece to "Being Bart."
Ever To Conquer, Never To Yield - March 1, 2019
He was a superhero, and he was looking forward to a college football game. Bart Allen had officially lost every claim to coolness he had ever had. Granted, a lot of other people seemed to be looking forward to it, too. Including, unfortunately, some maybe-speedsters who were definitely-criminals.
World's Finest - September 16. 2009
Batman and Superman are an unstoppable team. Superboy and Robin are best friends. So Batgirl and Supergirl teaming up would just make sense. …Wouldn’t it?
Moar Notes: This universe is largely an excuse for me to play with my conception of the Batman universe. My views of these characters were initially shaped by the Timm/Dini-verse, and later by various factoids gleaned from fandom, and only minimally from the comics themselves. With the result, for example, that Cassandra-in-my-head comes almost entirely from the comics while Tim Drake comes almost entirely from Batman: The Animated Series.
Angie Harmon is my favorite of the Barbara Gordon actors, and so it is her I imagine as Barbara/Batgirl/Oracle in this series. I know she came pretty late in the game, but she's got such a lovely alto voice.
I am tossing Mystery of the Batwoman (can you blame me?). Mask of the Phantasm is counted, however. I am not going to be aiming for continuity with Return of the Joker, though I am actually going to aim for general continuity with Batman Beyond.
The Tim Drake in this series takes his origin story from “Sins of the Father” and not the comics. However, he has a lot of comic!Tim's traits, such as his skill with computers and his capacity as a detective.
If you can find it, there is a theme for my naming of the Gotham sports teams.
Eventually when this universe got underway, I started a wiki to keep all my notes in. I use wikidpad to build it, and I highly recommend it as a note-taking program. It's easy to use, change, and cross-reference.
BTW, There is absolutely no Damian Wayne. None. At all. Conner, Bart, Kara, Cassandra Cain, and Cassie Sandsmark, however, do exist in this continuity and may come up from time-to-time. I haven't figured out how to get Jason into this universe yet, so I'm leaving him open-ended.
