I’m not so sure they are, but you might find them more entertaining than I would.

A world where Kal-El lands in Atlantis, and is raised with Arthur. Both compete for the throne, and they start a war. The spectacular squad, a superhero group of reformed villains, attempts to enlist the help of Batman, to stop the war. But they soon find out that batman is a fraud, nothing but a trick ran by actor Basil Karlo and VFX artist Garfield Lynns. (much like Mysterio from Spider-Man) Bruce Wayne operates as the Flash, a Forensic Scientist who dedicated his life to find the man who killed his parents. He also uses his wealth to fund the efforts of other heroes, such as Superman, (Jonn Jonzz) and the Green Lantern. (Jim Gordon) Barry Allen is the Joker, who when struck by lightning was doused in the same chemicals that created the Joker. The Joker and the Flash are rivals. Hal Jordan works with the spectacular squad as a squad leader, so these reformed villains don’t lose their way. What heroes this world has, and the spectacular squad must stop the war for the throne.

Thoughts? Any heroes or villains I should have included?

I’ve been thinking there should be a wrestling world. Not necessarily where everyone wrestles but attitude wise with everyone having a in-your-face attitude and friendships and alliances shifting at a moments notice and back again. Villains becoming heroes; heroes becoming villains and nobody knows who will be on whos side at the end of the day.

I was reading some early issues of Detective Comics and In the introduction to Batman there’s a bubble that tells you he’s “bored Socialite, Bruce Wayne” Well, what if that was all he really was? He’s in his early twenties and very rich. he does all the usual things young bucks do. “Drive sports cars, date movie stars, buy things that aren’t for sale…” and he’s honestly bored with all of it! It’s meaningless and empty and it makes him want to just go back to bed. but there’s nothing else to do! His Family’s richer than anything. The Family company is run by very good men so Bruce doesn’t have to work a day in his life. So one day he’s reading a pulp magazine to take his mind off his boredom and he overhears a story about a family being murdered in a robbery. He recalls seeing the Mark of Zorro as a kid and decides he might have something to do after all. He’s read dozens of detective stories and he’s smart. so he takes his pulp magazines and starts working out ideas for how to go about being a costumed mystery man. He finds some halloween decorations in his attic and uses the Bat as his emblem because it looks good and scary. He then starts going out at night as The BAT-MAN!!!

Here are my ideas-
The Emerald Knight Returns- A ripoff of The Dark Knight Returns but with Green Lantern vs. Flash
The Scarlet Knight Returns- A ripoff of The Dark Knight Returns but with Flash (Jay) vs. Green Lantern (Alan).
The STRIPED Knight Returns- A ripoff of The Dark Knight Returns but with STRIPE vs. Stargirl.
The Bandanad Knight Returns- A ripoff of The Dark Knight Returns but with Vigilante vs. Shining Knight.
The Winged Knight Returns- A ripoff of The Dark Knight Returns but with Hawkman vs. Dr. Fate.

The Flash Season 2.5(ish)
Instead of Zoom/Hunter Solomon killing Henry Allen, Henry is used as the bait for Hunter’s race/trap. Barry Defeats Zoom and Henry is saved and starts to put his life back together (with some help from Tina McGee)
One part of this, is Henry attempts to get his Doctor’s license renewed/re-instated. However, one of the doctor’s at the review board had been having dinner with the real Harrison Wells in Starling City on the night Nora Allen was murdered. Because of this and the very public fact that “Harrison wells” confessed to Nora Allen’s murder, Team Flash must find a way to explain the disparity without giving away Flash’s identity. To make matters worse, the revelation that a deceitful confession was used to free Henry, is being used to cause a push for Not only for Henry to be re-arrested, but also, to be put to death!

Okay this is a little convoluted to stick with me and read it to the end. It is actually two series both in the same universe and both set in Gotham City. In this universe Kate Kane, her sister and mother are kidnapped by terrorists, but Kate is not saved by her father, the terrorists kill him her mom and sister. She is instead saved by Ra’s al Ghul who has a personal grudge against these terrorists. He takes the young Kate in and begins training her to be one of his best acolytes. Now in this universe Talia does not keep her pregnancy a secret from Batman and the moment he hears she is expecting his child he travels to the League’s stronghold. Upon seeing that his cousin, Kate is being trained as an assassin he and Ra’s come to an agreement. Kate will remain training under Ra’s but will not be used as an assassin but instead as the bodyguard and servant to the child Talia carries. Talia and the child will remain with Ra’s until the child turns ten at which point Talia and the child will take up residence in Gotham City. Over the next decade Batman will visit Damian, instill in him his core beliefs and aide in his training. Kate takes on the role of Damian’s babysitter, bodyguard and chief retainer. One week before Damián’s tenth birthday Talia arrives in Gotham to arrange special security for her son and has a secret meeting with the Birds-of-Prey. Oracle, Barbara Gordon in a wheelchair does not attend. But Black Canary and Huntress do. Hooded assassins attack the meeting killing Talia, Huntress and Black Canary. Enraged Ra’s arrives in Gotham with a team of his top lieutenants. Intending to kill anyone he suspects was involved he is faced by Batman, Nightwings and Red Robin, who intend to stop him. Also present at the facedown is James Gordon who has evidence of who might have been involved. Getting Ra’s and his top people in one place with Batman was the plan of the killers, an alliance of Deathstroke seeking to take control of the League of Assassins and the Court of Owls who wish to be rid of Batman. Working with their paid ally Joker, several well placed bombs kill Batman, Nightwing, Red Robin, Gordon, Ghul and his top people. The badguys think they have won. One week later Damian arrives in Gotham with his bodyguard/valet Kate Kane. Damian has inherited Wayne Manor and controlling interest in Wayne Enterprises. At Wayne Manor he finds a distraught Alfred whom he allows to remain. In the Batcave he finds Orphan, Cassandra Caine and Spoiler, Stephanie Brown, who are hiding out as they have no idea who was responsible. Now in this series Damian is the leader of this new group, devising strategies while Kate, Cassie and Steph, clad in black leather ninja attire carry out the plans, targeting criminal organizations and making things difficult for the Court of Owls and the half of the League that Deathstroke controls. The other half is run by Shiva who has a pact with Damián. The public view of Damian is that of a young financial genius, Kate as his driver and bodyguard, Stephanie as a maid at the manor, Cassie as a cook and Jason Todd, who pops up as the estate handyman. Red Hood will aide the ladies on occasion. Alfred is busy dealing the a pregnant Selina Kyle who has moved into the manor. In this series Damian develops a crush on Stephanie who is six years older then he is. Kate and Lex Luthor’s Mercy begin a relationship.
Now the second series that comes from this is when Riddler, tracks an advanced internet connection to the old Clock Tower in Old Gotham. Curious he breaks in and bypasses very advanced security systems. Once inside he discovers an unconscious and nearly dead Barbara Gordon who has just attempted suicide by taking sleeping pills and scotch. As he nurses her back to health Riddler learns she lost everyone and wants to join them. he snoops around the clocktower and soon learns who she is and was. As she sleeps he contacts Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn who arrive and he explains how with crime on the steady rise in Gotham a vigilante for hire operation could make a lot of money. Harley will dress as Black Canary with both Ivy and Riddler telling her they like her in fishnets. Ivy will dress as Batgirl. They begin by saving mugging and holdup victims and then collecting payments from small business owners. As time passes Riddler masters Oracles computers and begins selling data to members of the Justice League and law enforcement agencies. While the new commissioner of police tries to shut them down the mayor and city council secretly pay the Birds to target larger criminal organizations. As Barbara slowly comes on board she helps as long as they go after the Court of Owls and Joker. In this series Green Arrow will pop up angry at whoever is posing as Black Canary, Harley will save his life. Damian and Riddler will form an uneasy alliance and Riddler and Barbara will form an intimate relationship. At some point Harley will be forced to kill Joker to save Ivy’s life.
Everything else will be the same in the universe, the Justice League, who pop up every now and then and the Gotham villains’, who learn to really hate the Birds of Prey and the three new black clad crime fighters.

One was bruce and Martha live, and Martha is a decorated Marine officer.

One where bruce is unable to touch his inheritance until 25, Alfred is deported and yet he still managed to get his training needed to become batman, how to pay for it illegal underground fighting, and still becomes a good batman. and were Catwoman has bruces backstory and becomes a protector of Gotham like in Catwoman guardian of Gotham.

a remake of the aforementioned Catwoman guardian of Gotham where bruce is more like Catwoman instead of the joker.

a cross over batman devil man where bruce and selina has been around for 80 years as devilmen and are drawn to japan to aid devil man as Batdevilman and catdevilwoman.

Ultrabat and Ultracat: were batman and Catwoman become ultras and must save the earth from the evil ultra Balfagor and his legin of kaiju.

a version of the Gift where Tomas is not a good man and Bruce runs from home after learning what kind of monster his father is after he(Thomas) kills his mother vowing to stop his corruptive influence on Gotham. with the aid of uncle phile Bruce gets his training well meeting a certain ally cat well his final takes place with the league of shadows before he finally returns to Gotham. Batman and Catwoman save Gotham from Thomas Wayne and his crew of freaks including a techno-organic version of his mother his father created.

Positive multiverse spin on Dark multiverse Hush were bruce escapes earlier during no man’s land and flees Gotham with Catwoman. the two travel the world to learn what they need to save their city.(I am miffed that Catwoman was not even in the GD book at all)

a dark multiverse version of identity crisis where it revealed that the JL did more than white 10 min form bruces mind after was bruce who brutally beat dr light in such a manner as to cause his personality changes, bats brakes the effect of the spell during hush learning there medalling is what allowed bane to break his back. so the league again does it during the time one year later where he is married to Selina and expecting his daughter. they are ambushed and again have their memories altered by the league after Selina finishes giving birth. bruce breaks this with a magical amulet given to him by John C. during Heart of hush and they remember everything… :smiling_imp: then they take out the members who voted yes to the memory alteration: the only ones not in their sites are Wonder woman Zetnnana and MM do to these three votings no. we have seen what a fallen batman can do :smiling_imp: we have not seen what a fallen Batman and Catwoman can accomplish together :grin: the story ends with Bruce, Helena, and Selina on a beach enjoying a family vacation.

It would be nice to see this happen as for the reality and science fiction connect through the principles of science. Take Black Lightning, Green Lantern, and even on another level, Lucifer, you could create real life characters out of the fictional takes on them.
