The Pitch

Let's be honest folks, Gotham City is a hellhole. A systemically corrupt, haven for criminals and the mentally disturbed that no sane person would visit, filled with locals who are either too desperate to escape or just violent enough to thrive. Despite its many flaws, there are some residents who would give anything to save their home from the shadows.

No Caption Provided

They're called the batfamily, masked warriors who will defend Gotham to their last breath, get dropped in a Lazarus pit, and keep up the fight. Each of these characters have the potential to inspire countless adventures; that's where you come in!

What is this about?

The Book of the Bat is an anthology of elseworld stories that depict the heroes and villains of Gotham City.

Any rules?

I tend to keep that to a minimum. Since these are all starting as elseworld stories no one can call dibs on characters. All books must have a batman character (hero or villain) as the main character in the story. Also, to make a title official just add "Book of the Bat:" ahead of your title.

Why should I participate?

Because you get to write your own batman comic! Ever reading a comic book and say "man, this is crap. I could write a better story in my sleep." Well now's the time to prove it. There's no continuity here, you can let your imagination run wild and officially become the master of your own batman universe. That means the only person stopping you from writing a great batman story is you.

Awesome! How can I join?

If you're interested just let me know in the comments below. Send me a notification (posting the @ symbol with my username) that you want to join and I'll add you into the pm for this group.

@stumpy49er: That's ok. Continuity is non-existent in this group unless one or more writers want to link stories together.

@batkevin74: You can use the other stuff we were working on if you want. In hindsight, it felt a little too much like Earth One.

@dngn4774: That's kinda what I've done, but more on the bad guy than the Bat guy. Hopefully today if a small human has a nap to give me a window

Just a question. Why does this group need a PM if it's all separate?

I'm curious. :)

@tommythehitman: It's might come in handy for things like titling, and if more prolific users want to sync their stories together, or if group members wish to collaborate on one or multiple stories.

@dngn4774: Not gonna lie. I'm pretty tempted to write a Batfamily story. Ages ago when you mentioned this idea I planned a Red Hood series. But due to having worked that idea into Daredevil I don't wanna do that anymore. I'll think about it.

@dngn4774: There's no links in the library section, just the list telling people what's been written...is that intentional or? It's not a dig or anything just more a curiosity question

@batkevin74: The links are in the numbers. Since Scars is a one shot I put it in the title. I'll address it in the next edit.
