''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7977775/1/ Persistence of Memory]]'' by E.V. Oleander [set in ''Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy'' continuity]
* Recommended by: Eagle

* Comments: Now technically AU due to the canon story having ended another way, but I actually find this version slightly more plausible (not that the canon version wasn't good, admitted). The explanation given for why the proposed scenario involving [[spoiler: Hugo Strange]] would fit every known detail of Vesper Fairchild's murder as of the time of publication is airtight, and the psychological drama is well-written. Also, for ''Comicbook/BirdsOfPrey'' fans, Oracle is the viewpoint character, and it guest-stars Black Canary.

* Comments: The story and depth of the all the characters involved was just amazing. I really loved Superman and Batman's defining relationship here and the descriptions and imagery was so powerful. Featuring Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Oracle, J'onn, Green Lanturn and others from the ''Franchise/{{Justice League|of America}}''.

* Synopsis: Jason is awake and aware but half-a-world away from Gotham in enemy hands. He thinks of nothing but escape, but what happens when he meets a certain little boy? Partial AU. Starts off at ''[[Comicbook/RedHoodTheLostDays Red Hood: Lost Days #1]]'' then spins in its own direction.

* Comments: Great characterisation of Damian and Stephanie, and a tonic for those who are missing Stephanie Brown since the character was cast into limbo when the Comicbook/New52 came along. The story does get quite dark by the end, but there is an alternate ending.

* Comments: Well written with great characterization for Jason and everyone he interacts with, the bulk of the story addresses a great number of things about Jason that were never able to be addressed in canon. Set in some never achieved future point in the pre-Comicbook/{{Flashpoint}} reboot continuity, assuming Bruce came home to Gotham to roost, and Dick went back to being Nightwing. The author is well versed in the comics history.

* Synopsis: [[Franchise/GreenLantern Hal Jordan]] babysits the Batfamily for a day. It goes about as well as expected.

* Crossover with: ''Franchise/XMen''

* Crossover with: ''Comicbook/SinCity''

* Crossover with: MCU ''Franchise/SpiderMan''

* ''Synopsis:'' "Danny is getting frustrated. no matter what he tries he just can't beat Sam at this game! One day while grinding, he comes across the most amazing player he's ever seen, so of course he asks her to teach him her ways. He's not the only one who's come looking for her assistance either."

''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/4578261 That Untitled YJ Verse Jump Thingy]]'' by ReadAsIDream

* Synopsis: “You slit his throat?” Wally cut in, looking terrified, “And you beat him up with a crowbar?” “Are you sure you’re the good guys?” Artemis said flatly. “Hey, no harm done,” Todd waved his hand dismissively, “Just a little sibling rivalry. Timmy’s the middle child so he gets picked on most. It’s not like what I did was so bad compared to some people I could mention. Demon Baby cut his lines so he’d go splat on the sidewalk.” “Neither of you are my siblings,” Evil!Robin fumed. Dick just stared. He was almost ready to lose it, actually. These people weren’t heroes! They were standing around discussing horrible things they’d done to each other, including assault and attempted murder! What the heck?! And he was supposed to be related to them by adoption? What was Bruce thinking?

* Synopsis: The Colony of Gotham is an urban legend that is whispered about in the dangerous city. It's said the Colony is a family of demons and spirits that stalk the night, hunting for the souls of the guilty. When Bruce became Batman, he'd never intended to be mistaken for a demon. He was happy to lean into it, though, and as he gained his partners -- as his family grew -- they all followed suit.

''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/12428244/chapters/28285362 Not everything is black and white, especially in Gotham]]'' by cantorahagedoorn

* Synopsis: It starts with a picture of a boy in Gotham, apparently called Robin and a vigilante/hero. Followed by an uproar, both in the news and within the League. But the information on Batman, and Gotham in general, that the League had was sparse at best. And not everything is black and white, especially in Gotham. So they might just end up with more questions than answers and Gotham doesn't take kindly on being intruded upon. (or alternatively: How the League found out that describing Gotham and its protector(s) with 'The city with the highest crime rate, protected by the vigilante Batman' doesn't even cover one-fifth of the truth.)

* Recommended by: Berzerkerking

* Crossover with: ''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}''
* Synopsis: The hunter has ascended to the status to great one, and now has come to Gotham, shattering the barrier between worlds.
* Comment: while not perfect by any means, it's a fun and enjoyable read with an interesting take on how it is to be a great one in a world as 'normal' as Gotham. The characters are also quite interesting.

''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1986455/1/ World's Finest vrs The Children of the Atom]]'' by Kusco
* Recommended by: fortunecookie

* Crossover with: ''Franchise/XMen''
* Synopsis: The story starts with Batman investigating the abduction of a young mutant girl. The plot thickens when Batman is accused of the murder of [[spoiler: Charles Xavier]]. Lots of plot twists follow until the true villains and their agenda are revealed.
* Notes: Has a sequel, ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4464473/1/ DC and Marvel: A Perfect Storm]]''.
* Comment: A must read for any X-Men or Batman fan. Being a fan of either is not a prerequisite for enjoyment though, the story is just that good. It's well written, has a compelling story and excellent characterization. Minor characters (Nightcrawler and many more) are given their opportunity to shine. There are hints at a MythArc with [[spoiler: the Marvel and DC universes somehow merging and the world in danger of destruction,]] that are left open. The sequel seems to be picking up there, but hasn't been updated in a while now.

* Comments: Very well written, and the characterizations for a younger Bruce Wayne and an older Sherlock are pretty interesting. They're not exactly how you're ''used'' to seeing them, but it fits within their personal histories. The plots(there are many different mini-mysteries in here) are well thought out.

* Pairing: Gotham/London
* Notes: Alternate link [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/375685 here]].
* Comments: Every time I try to type something in here, it comes out wrong. It's impossible for me to capture what makes this fic brilliant. It's not the excellent use of semi-personification; it's not the excellent characterization; it's not the chilling tone kept all the way through the story. I don't know what it is, but I heavily recommend it. This is one of those rare fics that makes up for every bad thing that has ever raised its ugly head form the depths of the internet. In conclusion, just read it.

''Fanfic/InnocenceAndExperience'' by redgrass-and-silvertrees ([[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11824953/1/ link]])
* Recommended by: Reppuzan, eeveelutionlover2000

* Crossover with: ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice''
* Synopsis: What starts as a normal patrol ends up shaking up the world of Young Justice when a future Robin appears. The Team struggles to deal with Damian and the future he represents all the while trying to send him home.
* Comments: This story is a satisfying take on the age-old "Damian meets the Young Justice team". Instead of the usual "alternate unvierse" premise, the author attempts to [[CanonWelding canon weld]] Damian's Pre-New 52 life story into the Young Justice timeline through time travel, and does so seamlessly, even managing some throwaway references to ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond''. There is a lot of angst, and Dick is sometimes irritatingly (but sometimes understandably) hostile towards his future little brother. Nevertheless, the original plot, good pacing, and overall strong dialogue make it well-worth reading for Damian fans while remaining firmly set in the Young Justice mindset. Takes place after the events of New Years Eve but before the timeskip.

* Recommended by: @/OrionUltor
* ''Crossover with'': ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' and ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug''
* ''Status:'' Ongoing
* ''Synopsis:'' "Danny is getting frustrated. no matter what he tries he just can't beat Sam at this game! One day while grinding, he comes across the most amazing player he's ever seen, so of course he asks her to teach him her ways. He's not the only one who's come looking for her assistance either."
* ''Comments:'' A Discord chatfic that starts off on the relatively simple premise that Danny and Damien are both fed up with always losing to Sam and Jason (respectively) on DOOMED, so when they come across Marinette (she's on the NA servers to practice English) who is really good at the game, they ask her to be their teacher in their quest for vengence...things slowly get out of hand, what with the Justice League eventually stepping in to help with Danny and Marinette's situations.

''Stories focused on the family and the friendly relationships of the cast. Plot-focused stories or light day-in-the-life stories. Pretty much anything that isn't focused on romance.''

* Synopsis: Bruce blacked out. He wasn’t sure what happened after those words left Jack’s mouth. All he knew was that the next thing he remembered was being pulled off of Jack Drake by several police officers.
Tim goes missing and there were times that Bruce wished he wasn’t such a good detective.
