Bruce Wayne is Dead...
Earth-1194 is a Crossover Fan Fic created by Consaibot 1, featuring characters and places from the Marvel Universe and The DCU. Set after a Crisis Crossover dubbed The Apokolips War, the series begins with Earth's Heroes picking up the pieces and mending the scars from the cataclysmic event.
The first story in the series is dubbed Sons of Batman, following Dick Grayson and Jason Todd as they both struggle for the role as Batman's successor, not helped by the arrival of Damien Wayne, Bruce's son with Talia Al Ghul. It has been followed soon after with Stupendous Spider-Man, showing a more veteran Peter Parker looking to his future both as Peter Parker and as Spider-Man. Another story was added shortly afterwards called Cold War: Avengers vs Justice League.

- Freudian Slip: Peter lets slip that he knows Miles Morales has joined the Teen Titans to JJ. Luckily, Jonah just offers him more money if Peter can photograph Miles with the Titans.
