Shadow Cryptid Batman AU Notes

Main Story

Bruce’s parents were murdered on June 26th after attending a showing of the Mark of Zorro at The Monarch Theater in Gotham City. After hearing gunshots, the police were called and the bodies of Thomas and Martha Wayne were found shot to death in Parkrow, their eight-year-old son, Bruce, was never seen again.

Control over the well-being of Wayne Manor fell to Alfred Pennyworth, whom stayed within the manor in the hopes that Bruce would return home one day (thinking that Bruce got scared and ran away from the crime scene and only got hurt and is in a hospital or clinic somewhere in the city)

After five years of no word from Bruce Wayne, he was officially declared legally dead, but Alfred didn’t give up hope that one day he would come back

After about 10 or so years, Alfred wakes up to sounds within the manor and gets up to investigate. He comes across a young boy and a dark shadow guarding him. For some reason, he isn’t afraid of the shadow, or even angry that they are trespassing in the Manor.

Eventually they come to the understanding that Bruce isn’t able to move on yet and somehow explains that he needs to find his body, this becomes the main objective of both Dick and Alfred and eventually Jason when Bruce finds him bloody in Crime Alley

Their exploration mission turns into crime fighting when they find themselves too often in the middle of gang fights and muggings while searching the slums of Gotham for any clues (this is around the time that Tim would come in and be taken into the family)

Their crime fighting also attracts attention from the Justice League and they come to recruit the Bat and birds, Nightwing, Red Hood, and Red Robin join the Justice League with Bruce unable to since his entity is tied to Gotham and he can’t leave. He is happy for the boys to have more than him though.

the OG patent for the process of dry cleaning called it dry washing. :)

"dry cleaning" implies the existence of "wet cleaning"
