If you could make a Batman Elseworlds...

[TheKnight]

What would it be ? Setting, Characters, etc.

Cool thread really. I've oft wondered this.

I'd like to see a Batman Elseworlds that takes place in current times, with a similar backstory however in this world Bruce Wayne's parents left behind a severe debt that left Bruce with very little in the way of money. Alfred and Bruce live together as partners (not that kind... dirty minds) with Alfred acting as a sort of oracle but with Bruce using much more low-level tech.

Similar to Nolan verse,Lee Bermejo and Brian Azzarello's Joker Graphic Novel, Stan Lee's Just Imagine batman , batman:broken city, Paul Pope Berlin Batman/Batman year 100, Frank Miller's Dark Knight Universe
Batman live in New York and this is a realistic story. Here are a few main buisness:
The villians are street thugs/ gangster/ mobsters Penguin is a pimp/ dapper racketeer who uses his matrimonial businesses as a front for dodgy dealings who runs the Iceberg club to hide shady dealings ,

Joker is a sadistic gang boss who is a mixture of Nolan Joker,Lee Bermejo and Brian Azzarello's Joker, Frank Miller's Dark Knight Universe Joker (All Star Batman and Robin Joker),The Killing Joke , Original Bob Kane/Bill Finger homicidal murderer, BGatman: Nine Lives Joker and JSA Liberty File's Joker. He would kill people either for money or just for the heck of it and he hates and wants to kill Batman yet loves Batman and is his biggest fan.

Clayface is Basil Karlo a disfigured gangster from many plastic surgery/a good actor. He uses masks and go by many desguises and uses many names( Matt Hagan, Ethan Bennett, Chris Cassius to name few)

You remember those Legends of The Dark Knight action figures? More specifically, the Pirate special editions.

They had Buccaneer Batman, First Mate Robin, Pirate Two Face and The Laughing Man Joker.

I'd love to do a story with these characters.

Well, since they had the last son of Krypton raised by the Waynes in SPEEDING BULLETS, I say do the reverse: have a rocket carrying the infant Bruce Wayne crash-land on Krypton from the doomed planet Earth, where he is adopted by a kindly scientist, Jor-El and his wife Lara. Because of Krypton's heavier gravity in comparison to Earth, the youngster must utilize a special exo-skeletal suit to survive which makes him a bit of an outcast and leaves his adoptive parents and their robot caretaker Kelex as all he has - which sucks when Jor-El and Lara are killed by a hired gun working for General Zod, in a bid to seize power and ultimately overthrow the Council. Spending the rest of the El family fortune and drawing on the advanced scientific skills he picked up from his adoptive father, with Kelex's guidance, the boy grows into adulthood refashioning his exosuit into a frightening suit of armor that allows him to fly at incredible speeds, deflect most conventional Kryptonian weaponry, give him accelerated strength, as well as enhanced vision and hearing and the power to emit optic blasts - and launches a one-man war against Zod and his underling supporters. But in his quest for vengeance, he discovers an equally-sinister plot afoot within the halls of the Krypton Council - a plot stemming from the Council's resident bionic consultant, the Coluan transplant Vril Dox...

Hell to the yeah. That sounds cool.

 

[Jochimus]

Eh...I dunno. Now that I've actually had a chance to think about this, that idea sounds like "Iron Bat". I suppose if one played up detective/scientist angle and treated the general tone of it more like "Batman Begins", that might help.

I kinda like Nolanverse as an Elseworlds. It would be cool to see DC run with it.

That's a pretty good idea. Killing would be even more hard to avoid when comparing the price of guns to the price of Bat's gadgets that are intended to impair without murdering.

 

[Majic Walrus]

^Thanks!

Yeah I'd like to see Batman struggle with killing in a book like that. I like the gang-wars that the Robin comics are doing right now, I'd like to see that Batman handle that and struggle with the chance of having to kill some gang members occasionally.

heh...thanks. I really should have done some research, huh?? t:

 

[Majic Walrus]

Just means you had a good idea.
