History Fanfic / BatmanBeyondRevisited

* Mooks: The Jokerz.

An elderly Bruce Wayne’s final battle with TheJoker ends with him plunging both of them into a vat of acid to ensure that the latter doesn’t come back this time. Eighteen years later, a runaway named Jake Vance, who had spent half his life squatting in Wayne Manor, is approached by its inheritors, Dick Grayson and Barbara Gordon, and takes upon himself the mantle of Batman.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Flourishes.
** Barbara Gordon is the Oracle in this version.
** Inque, rather than a mercenary who became what she was for the money, she was a science experiment who was rescued and raised by one of the scientists who created her…up until she learned the truth about what she was. Also, rather than being an adult, she is one year younger than Jake Vance.
** Ira Billings, a.k.a. Spellbinder, was a high school psychologist in this story, like in the show, but in this rendition he was fired for testing chemicals on kids, and escaped prison after 40 years with the help of Ra’s al Ghul, with whom he teamed up in exchange.
** Payback is significantly more brutal in this version, and is also [[spoiler:Jake’s mother]], who became [[TheAtoner The Atoner]] to make up for past actions towards [[spoiler:her son]].
