1	''No Bats In Gotham'' is a Franchise/{{Batman}} fanfiction written by Zornech.
2
3	The fic shows a Gotham City [[AlternateUniverseFic where there never was a Batman]]. Due to this, everything is much different. The series seems to be an anthology by the description given by the author, with each chapter being a quick short story set in the same universe in Gotham City in different time periods.
4
5	It, all of one chapter so far, can be read [[https://www.quotev.com/story/7880581/No-Bats-in-Gotham here]]...and it appears to be a DeadFic. As the one who made this page, I apologize for wasting space.

7	----
8	!! It contains these following tropes:
9	* AdaptationalHeroism: Possibly. Dick Grayson's [[HappilyMarried wife]] Kit might be a version of [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans Kitten]].
10	* AdaptationalWimp: Dick Grayson doesn't seem to be a BadassNormal. Instead he seems to be a normal guy.
11	* TheAlcoholic: the seemingly homeless man Dick gives some money is revealed to be this at the end of the first chapter. [[spoiler: He uses the money to call his son on a payphone and ask him for another chance to fight his alcoholism]].
12	* AlternateUniverseFic: The whole point of it.
13	* AnachronismStew: Cellphones aren't mentioned or used in the first chapter. Dick's apartment has a landline that Kit uses to [[spoiler: call the police]] and [[spoiler: the homeless man Dick gave money to]] uses a payphone at the end of the chapter. They may just not own them though.
14	* BeigeProse: DownplayedTrope. Not much is described in the first chapter outside of general things, but it isn't as simple as "He walked and he was there".
15	* CanonForeigner: Everyone named in the first chapter outside of Dick and possibly his wife Kit, who as mentioned above, may be [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans Kitten]].
16	* EveryoneLovesBlondes: Dick's [[HappilyMarried wife]] is a blonde.
17	* ForWantOfANail: No Batman means no Robin, so Dick Grayson isn't a superhero at all. In-Universe Kit wonders [[spoiler: what would have happened if Dick had gotten home just a minute later than he did]].
18	* GenderBlenderName: The first chapter gives us a woman named Kit and a man named Ashley.
19	* HappilyMarried: Dick and Kit Grayson.
20	* MomentKiller: Dick and his wife had been having a moment before [[spoiler: they here gunshots outside their apartment]].
21	* PoliceAreUseless: Averted. The police actually do catch a man who [[spoiler: tried to rob the front desk at the Grayson's apartment building and killed the night manager while doing so]].
22	* TallDarkandHandsome: Dick Grayson.
23	* WretchedHive: Actually, its implied Gotham isn't a complete shithole [[spoiler: despite the murder of their apartment's night manager]] by Kit, who actually says she loves the city at one point.
24	* WeHardlyKnewYe: [[spoiler: Mister Howard, the night manager of an apartment building, isn't even mentioned by name before his murder]].
