Batman: Miscarriage

Summary:

Bruce Wayne gets bitten by a radioactive bat and gains the powers of ultrasound. Yes, you read that right.

Notes:

This is probably the worst thing I've ever written, but it like wraps around to being so bad it's good. Basically the reason why this exists is because back in junior year of high school (at this point I would've been like 16), one of my classmates said that bats use ultrasound to see in the dark, and he was rightfully clowned on for getting his words wrong. This got me thinking about Batman breaking into people's houses and screaming "YOU'RE PREGNANT!" at them, and I thought that was so funny that I had to write a story about it. Unfortunately, because this was written by a 16-year-old, not only does it suck, it's also very edgy and hasn't aged all that well. Like literally the reason "Miscarriage" is in the name at all is because it was the edgiest word associated with pregnancy I could think of, though granted my reasoning also had to do with the fact that a lot of Batman stories are edgy or have edgy names. Also, fun fact: I wrote this in between Parts 1 and 2 of ZoZo's Bizarre Adventure.

TL;DR: this story is only here for archival purposes, and does not reflect my current anything, neither my writing style nor my personal beliefs. The true reason it's here, though, will be revealed very, very soon...

Also TW for potential transphobia (specifically transmisandry) in a future chapter. I apologize sincerely for the actions/words of my past self.

Chapter 1: Prologue

Chapter Text

A young boy. His millionaire parents. A theater. An alley. A thug. A gun. Six things that never go good together. This is something Bruce Wayne knew very well. Was he the thug? Was he one of the parents? Was he the gun? No. He was the young boy. Seeing his parents, dead. Really traumatized him. So much that he now lives alone with only his butler, Alfred, keeping him company. Also he cosplays as a bat or something I don’t know. We all knew the story behind him, but did you ever stop to think what happens behind the scenes? This is the story about how Bruce Wayne got bitten by a radioactive bat and gained superpowers that he didn’t even really know he needed until that point. But not the kind you would expect…
