Batman/Fanfic Recs: Difference between revisions

These are recommendations made by Tropers for ''[[Batman]]'' fanfics, all of which have to be signed to stay on the page. Feel free to add a fanfic of your own to the list, but remember to use the template found [[Fan Fic Recommendations|here]].

 

 

'''Page Reconfiguration in Progress''': [[Fan Fic Recommendations]] is being split into pages for each individual series, so help is needed to classify each entry into the appropiate category, and to format it according to the template.

* A large series centering on the villains of Gotham City--the Scarecrow and his three unwelcome hangers on, specifically. Has nothing to do with Cat Tales.

* I thought it was going to be a series of Sues. I'm glad that I was proven wrong. And the writing itself is ''great'', seriously.

 

 

*** It's mixed. This troper also started at what-was-then the end. Some of the stories are very referential to earlier parts of the series, while others stand fine alone. There are several distinct story arcs.

** [[User:Marvel Girl|I love]] this series. [http://catwoman-cattales.com/ Try this url instead.] If you detest what Frank Miller and his followers did to Catwoman, you'll probably really enjoy this series. Unfortunately for the DCU, it's better written than a lot of the current DCU. And it [[Retcon|RetCons]] the material in a really creative way: the scurrilous rumors promoted by some hack named F. Miller and others are from in-universe tabloid press.

** Seconded by this troper, who initially read the series while unfamiliar with Batverse and looks back in shock at the rampant character-bashing. Anyone Chris Dee/Catwoman dislikes--Ra's Al Ghul, Talia, Scarecrow, Poison Ivy and Harley on occasion, Zatanna, etc.--will be slammed and ridiculed on a semi-regular basis and their character derailed/simplified for justification. The writing style and humor are generally good, and some of the character interactions are fun, but it might not be worth it in the long run if you care about someone the author doesn't.

*** This may be true in the minority, however, provided one keeps in mind that the author is putting forward a reality heavy projection of fanon - from the third person perspective of Catwoman, Batman, Alfred and a host of other characters, these ''bashings" may be read as the character's opinions and flaws.

* ''Synopsis'': Harley Quinn discovers the identity of the man behind the cowl...then decides to shack up with him. [[Hilarity Ensues]]

* Having been creatively inspired by [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7352246/1/Bruce_Has_A_Problem this] oneshot, a group of fanfic authors from the [[Space Battles]] forum began writing a series of connected snippets that continued Bruce and Harley's budding relationship, and the repercussions/effects of such a relationship. The majority of the snippets share a similar [[Slice of Life]] / [[Rom Com]] tone to that of Cat Tales, as well as borrowing some minor naming/story conventions, but other then that the rest is solid, hilarious [[Original Flavor]]

* ''Synopsis'': A series of events proves more than either the Dark Knight or Man of Steel can handle alone.

* ''Comments'': Not only does this series pay full respect to both canons, it's filled to the brim with [[Continuity Nod]]s that border on [[Fan Service]]. Not that I'm complaining at all.

 

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5112256/1/Fear_and_Malice Fear And Malice]'' By E. S. Young [Set in the [[Dark Knight Trilogy]] continuity]

* ''Synopsis'': Batman travels to [[Sin City]] on the trail of the Yellow Bastard and a handful of his worst enemies. Along the way, he run afoul of the Sin City underworld, Old Town, and just about everyone else.
