In the 'bruce wayne isn't batman fanfiction', how does the author reimagine Gotham's crime - fighting without Bruce Wayne as Batman?

Well, in such a fanfic, it might show Bruce Wayne as a completely different entity from Batman. Maybe Bruce is just a normal rich guy who has no idea about the vigilante activities of Batman. He could be living his own life, focused on business and social events, while Batman is someone else entirely, perhaps an unknown figure with no connection to the Wayne family.

In some fanfictions, Bruce Wayne becomes Batman after witnessing the brutal murder of his parents. This tragic event plants the seed of vengeance and justice in him. He then spends years traveling the world, learning various combat skills and detective techniques from different masters. He returns to Gotham with a newfound determination to clean up the crime - ridden city.

One reason could be that Bruce Wayne never had the traumatic event that led him to become Batman in the original story. Maybe his parents' death was prevented somehow, so he never felt the need for vengeance and justice in that extreme way.

One possible plot twist could be that Batman is actually Bruce Wayne's long - lost twin brother. They were separated at birth, and while Bruce grew up in the Wayne family, his brother had a different upbringing that led him to become Batman. This would completely change the dynamic between Bruce and Batman.

In this fanfiction scenario, Poison Ivy may initially be angry. She might feel betrayed if she had some sort of relationship with either Bruce Wayne or Batman before. She could also be a bit jealous, thinking that Batman has been hiding this huge part of himself from her. However, on the other hand, she could also be impressed by the lengths Bruce goes to protect the city. This new knowledge could lead to a whole new dynamic between her and Batman, with her either becoming an ally or an even more dangerous foe, depending on her motives and the events that unfold in the fanfiction.

Common elements usually include Bruce's early exploration of Gotham's underbelly. He often starts by observing the criminal activities from the shadows before taking direct action. The creation of the Batcave is also a popular element. Fanfictions tend to describe how he discovers or builds this secret lair. Additionally, his relationships with other characters like Commissioner Gordon play a significant role. Their initial meetings and the development of their partnership are often part of the story.

The dynamic could be complex. Thomas might be both proud and worried seeing Bruce as Batman. Proud that his son is carrying on the legacy, but worried about the dangers. He could be overprotective at first.

One comic where Thomas Wayne Batman meets Bruce Wayne is 'Batman: Rebirth'. Usually, these meetings are crafted to add depth and complexity to the Batman mythos.

Bruce's life as Batman would change drastically. He would now have someone depending on him not just as Bruce Wayne but also as Batman. He might have to cut down on his nightly patrols or find more secure ways to keep the baby safe while he's out fighting crime. He would also be more motivated to make Gotham a safer place for his baby to grow up in, so he could focus on taking down the major threats to the city more quickly.

He might develop a greater sense of humility. Without the Batman persona to fall back on, he has to face his own limitations as a person. For example, he may struggle to get people to listen to his ideas for change when he doesn't have the intimidation factor of Batman.
