Suggested by wadeproductions
Two years after season one and Bruce Wayne has adopted Dick Grayson. Dick has now fully settled into his role as Robin the Boy Wonder. One day when Batman and Robin are stopping the Joker, they discover a Great Dane that had been used by his thugs and Robin takes him back and names him Ace the Bat-Hound. Barbara Gordon also discovers Dick and Bruce’s secret and becomes Batgirl. Bruce Wayne’s good friend Harvey Dent approaches him and asks for Bruce’s help in running for District Attorney while Dent is also working with James Gordon to convict the mobster Sal Maroni. Bruce also finds out from Selina that she is pregnant and that he is going to have a daughter and so Bruce proposes to Selina Kyle. Because she is going to be having a family, Selina murders her father Carmine Falcone in order to move on from her past. I’m the background of all of this, the mad scientist Hugo Strange gets the approval from the city to create Arkham City, a portion of Gotham set aside for all the criminals of Gotham but is also used for political prisoners. Strange uses Arkham City to fulfill what he believes his purpose is- to eradicate all crime at any cost and develops a toxin with the help of Scarecrow that will make all of the prisoners in Arkham City tear themselves apart. THE YOUNGER CHARACTERS LIKE DICK AND BARBARA WILL BE DEAGED, because I am casting as if entire show is shot at same time so they are being casted to their series finale ages.
