Summary

Each chapter is my old notes for a fanfic I'll probably never write, but REALLY hope someone else does!

If you want to write a Batman fic but don't have any ideas, please feel free to use and change any of these. Though, I hope you comment if you do, so I can read your fic!

Chapter 8: #OnlyInGotham

A newly-promoted newscaster in Gotham is given a list of words he is not allowed to say on air:

 

* Two

* Riddle

* Joke

* Fear

* Afraid

* Scary

* Terror

* Alice

* Funny

* Eco terrorist

* Genius

 

Etc.

 

He is new to Gotham, and happened to move their during a lull in crime, so he doesn't understand why he can't say these different words. The rest of the studio crew (being all native Gothamites) don't understand why he's confused, and communication problems ensue.

 

Getting annoyed by the constant struggle to report without using any words on the list, the newscaster decides to just use all of them.

 

Of course, this attracts the attention of Gotham's Rogues. Our poor protagonist soon finds himself on a forced tour of Gotham, learning just why the people of this city behave the way they do.

 

In the end, will the newscaster go crazy? Or will he act like a true man from Gotham? Is there really even a difference?

 

AKA: an excuse to show off the unusual behaviors, rituals, and vocabulary the people have Gotham have developed thanks to the Rogues and Bats.
