Seems easy enough for a girl like Harley, right? But when the tables turn and Harley's target tries to drown her, she can't. She can't because Harley can breath underwater.

BATMAN: THE HANGING COURT (Short Story). by EliahRoyKercad

In the darkest depths of Gotham's underworld, a series of ritualistic executions shakes the city to its core. Victims-judges, officers, and criminals alike-are found hanging from rooftops, each marked with a cryptic symbol of judgment. As whispers of an ancient executioner resurface, Batman dives into an investigation that leads him to a shadowy figure known as The Judge, a self-proclaimed arbiter of Gotham's sins. But the Judge is only the beginning. As Batman follows the trail, he uncovers the return of an even deadlier force-The Hangman, an unstoppable executioner who has risen from Gotham's past. With each killing, the city spirals further into chaos, as fear grips both the innocent and the guilty alike. With Huntress joining the hunt and Catwoman's unexpected return, Batman finds himself in a race against time to stop a cult of judgment before they pass their final sentence-on Gotham itself. But justice in Gotham is never black and white. As the final battle erupts in the ruins of the courthouse, Batman must make a choice: uphold his code or end the Hangman's reign forever. This is a story of justice, vengeance, and the line Batman swore never to cross. Because in Gotham... the guilty must always hang.

A New Love (Bruce Wayne (Batman) x reader) by LadyAlexa98

You're a doctor from one of the small hospitals in Gotham. You have a gift called eidetic memory (means you remember everything from what you see to what you read) and have good fighting skills in order to defend yourself due to the high rates of crime in Gotham. You use your good memory by studying all areas of medicine and use it to help people that don't have enough money to pay specialists. Bruce Wayne knows of you but you don't know him till he talks to you in one of his charity events. I started writing my first fanfic story because I read a lot of fan fiction were the reader is "batmom" usually the storyline is about how she was this amazing hero who fights with the batfamily. Of course different artists have their own unique batmom. But somehow all of the batmoms that I have read didn't really have what I wanted so it just inspired me to write my own batmom. Hope you enjoy my story.

Little Beacon- A BATFAMILY X OC FANFIC by JumpyBox13

Julianne Cress is a foster kid, one that always jumped from home to home, so she's an expert in keeping under the radar and being unnoticed. At her school, Midtown Hall of Science and Technology, she's just a typical lonely nerd with only her best friends Bo and Tsuki to keep her afloat. At her internship at Wayne Enterprises, she keeps her head down low and does her work seamlessly, disappearing before she could get any attention for it. Even though she's the most brilliant student and intern in Gotham City, Julianne still has to keep her public image down along with her status so nobody suspects anything. Because after school , she's one of Gotham's most elusive yet most adored young vigilantes, one that even Batman can't catch. And the last thing that Julianne wants is to blow her cover. But all of that changes after a mishap in the internship, and suddenly her life is a thousand times different. She somehow ends up being the top intern in the whole company and suddenly is being mentored by THE Bruce Wayne, who has taken a big liking to her, and all of a sudden, she's living in the Wayne Manor after her CPS Agent took her out of her abusive foster home. But Julianne knows she won't be able to keep up the charade for long, because she's in a house with the world's greatest detectives. But she can sure damn well try, because her vigilante life also decided to blow itself up, leaving her tangled in the restraints from her past. ****************************************** BEST RANKINGS SO FAR :) #1 in Gotham #1 in Batfamily #1 in Batsis #1 in Damianwayne #1 in dickgraysonxoc

Belong Here With Us (Jason Todd x OC) (WFA Fan-Fiction) by Beck_Stynes_027

"That name's familiar, right, Mr. Wayne?" Gotham City's vigilantes find a mysterious young woman in building rubble, unharmed but shaken. No reason for being there. No origin, past or trust in the Batfamily. She drops a bombshell; she knows Batman's identity and must face him after outracing death. Her refusal to trust anyone, and connection to a man whose very moniker spells danger, brings tension. Walls crumble, helping her old self emerge--from memories of demons, past and present, even she's reluctant to acknowledge. She may also just be a kindred spirit; damaged. What chased her to them? Dark connections are never evident. Unimaginable worlds exist outside your comfortable cities or worst nightmares... but love, family and loss is universal. Mourning alone, far from home, is where no one deserves to be. *Recommended ages 15+. Strong language, violence and implied sexual or intense situations. Brace yourself; that's the trigger warning. The protagonist is an OG character. Based in the 'Wayne Family Adventures' universe (WFA Chapter 7 is a joke chapter), including features from other DC movies, universes and comics, but some author-original concepts. (Cover's Webtoon art with a stock image).
