You get to do the next Bat-line wide crossover!

[Fuzzy Cactus]

Street Disco Dick - Nightwing in Shaft, French Connection, Octopussy, Taxi Driver and Enter the Dragon - with that amazing high-collar disco suit, busting up vice dens in grimy neighborhoods or slave cartels in exotic island shanty towns. 1970's super-funk, Kung-fu and neon-noir feat Bronze Tiger, Deathstroke, Professor Pyg, Tigershark, Donna Troy and Speedy (rest of the Teen Titans can go jump).

Batman & Robin Will Return Forever! - Dick and Damian in the canon of Burton/Schumacher/TAS. The idea is they are and have always been the Dynamic Duo of the public mainstream. Anton Fursts' Gotham, Michelle's Carwoman and TAS Harley. They use credit cards that expire in Forever, pop iceskates from their boots and appear on bedsheets, cereal boxes, t-shirts and coffee mugs everywhere. The 1st issue includes a digital code for soundtrack featuring Seal, U2, Prince and R Kelly, all remixed by Skrillex.

I wish these were real now.

BATMAN LOST

Basically, the whole bat-family loses all their memories of...well, being the heroes they are, with false memories of them just living their lives. They start to hear about the missing bat gang on the news and such, and although other heroes/people know of them, their memories of their real identities are gone (so Superman won't show up to slap sense into Bruce). Bit by bit, the bat-family awaken to something weird going on, unravelling clues as they unravel the mystery. It's more like a detective story, and tie-ins (Nightwing/Batgirl etc.) show in more detail them going about their "normal" lives (which still end up being plagued by various bat-villains and such).

LEGION OF BATS

One by one Batmans from the multiverse start getting stranded in Gotham...and not all of them are friendly. Mad crap starts going down, and before long factions are being built and going to war with each other, each blaming the others for their predicament. Little do they know, they're all being summoned by a mysterious entity to combat a multiversal threat only Batman is equipped to handle. (Turns out it's a Batman that was somehow expunged/removed from the multiverse that is back for revenge).

Man, some of you are really creative. I've been trying to think of an idea myself for days now, and then I read some of these and go "Why couldn't I have thought of that?"

I would read both of these.

Batman: Missing

Batman has disappeared from the face of Gotham, and while Alfred activates a Bruce Wayne robot to stand in for Bruce over the peroid to allay suspicions, "Where is Batman?". In a similar theme to Batman #291-294's "Where Were You The Night Batman Was Killed?", prominent members of the Batman's rogues' gallery boasts, tells their "stories" how each one "killed" Batman, but this story's each fiend is faced off against each member of the Bat-Family:

BATMAN - Red Robin vs Joker
DETECTIVE COMICS - Bluebird vs Penguin
BATMAN & ROBIN - Robin vs Riddler
BATGIRL - Batgirl vs Killer Croc
CATWOMAN - Catwoman vs Two-Face
BATWOMAN - Batwoman vs Scarecrow
GRAYSON - Dick Grayson vs Ra's Al Ghul
BATMAN MISSING: BATWING - Batwing vs Mister Freeze

In the end, most of Joker's story rang true, except that he left leaving Batman for dead, rather than returning to make sure of it. Batman eventually wakes up, in a stasis tank, engineered by Poison Ivy. Her current "moral" alignment due to her more "neutral" acts of "heroism" most of her recent developments so far, she took it upon her maternal instincts and overall feelings for Bats to take his body, to heal him up with her science. Ivy allows Batman to go, given he leaves her plant-paradise filled base alone, and Batman returns to action in Gotham.

Batgirl of Numberland - Yvonne Craig with yellow doc Martins in Ghost in the Shell/Neuromancer/Bladerunner. Adventures would look and feel similar to the 60's era until you realise they're happening in a world overrun by sentient data-worms, government psi-op avatars, weapon-code smuggling and military fleshborgs. Weirdly enough the new series is almost pointing this way and Morrison's intro'd the basic idea already - combine for a colorful and fun loving hipster Batgirl who absolutely dominates in the higher plane of reality that is Internet V.3 (Numberland just sounds so much cooler).

Batman & Robin Will Return Forever! - Dick and Damian in the canon of Burton/Schumacher/TAS. The idea is they are and have always been the Dynamic Duo of the public mainstream. Anton Fursts' Gotham, Michelle's Carwoman and TAS Harley. They use credit cards that expire in Forever, pop iceskates from their boots and appear on bedsheets, cereal boxes, t-shirts and coffee mugs everywhere. The 1st issue includes a digital code for soundtrack featuring Seal, U2, Prince and R Kelly, all remixed by Skrillex.

Rage of Robin - all the ultra-violence, gratuitous nudity and bad jokes of an 80's drive-in make-out movie; Jason Todd unleashed. Beginning with a deranged and chain-smoking Boy Wonder kicking the teeth out of pimps and shotgunning the kneecaps off security guards, all Kick Ass Hitgirl style; Killer Croc, Nocturna and drug crazed sewer dwelling hobos; to a Rambo-in-the-Middle-East style recapping of a Death in the Family; American Ninja when it's time to briefly show Ra's and the resurrection and Dolph Lundgrens Punisher for Hood's return and urban massacre. The way Jasons story was always meant to be told, really.

Thanks, DC!

It'll be called "Cleaning House"

Batman villains all team up to rid themselves of those obnoxious spotlight hoggers: The batfamily!


Scarecrow will use his fear gas to make Dick think he's suddenly very unattractive. Dick commits suicide.

Joker, imitating Batman's voice, calls Tim on the secure Bat channel and says "Now that I think about it, I don't think you should use the word "Robin" in your name at all. In fact, maybe you'd be better off with that Green Arrow guy." Tim commits suicide.

Poison Ivy sneaks her special recipe of vegan, gluten-free cocktail weenies into Babs' Sex and the City marathon viewing party. Giant venus fly traps burst out of their stomachs.

Clayface poses as one of Dick's past girlfriends. Jason Todd is impaled by a clay spike while attempting to sleep with "her".

Damian discovers that immortality isn't so great when he gets out-zombied by Solomon Grundy. (This will lead into a multi Batman and Robin arc where Batman futilely tries to reassemble Damian from Grundy's stomach contents).


Meanwhile, side plots: Mr. Freeze will put the Al Ghul's in cryogenic freeze so we don't need to see their over-the-top nonsense for five minutes,
and a la Sopranos, Selina will decide she needs a therapist. Her therapist turns out to be Hugo Strange. He will use hypnosis to give her a nasty aversion to bats, goggles, and orphan children.

I would buy so many copies of this, you have no idea.

Spare Dick and Babs though. Take Steph and Harper instead.

Here is my cross over, the entire batfamily sitting at a table discussing all the secrets and issues they have been having with each other.
each bat book portays that character's perspective and narratives, then at the end an alarm goes off and they go off to fight crime.
A nice calm crossover that helps make sure that the bat-family can continue to work together.

This actually sounds like a good idea.
