DC:The Darkest Knight

After returning to Gotham, Bruce got to witness how much more corrupt the city had become in the absence of Waynes and how a gang named the Red Hood Gang was causing chaos in the city by blackmailing, killing, and robbing just for fun.

In order to fight against criminals and honor his parents, Bruce began posing as a thug and patrolling the streets of Gotham, trying to stop every crime he encountered. Bruce did attempt to interfere with the Red Hood Gang, but he was unsuccessful.

This time, memories flashed faster as I watched him, disguised as a thug, patrol the streets of Gotham and hunt down criminals. But in one of his fights, he encountered the Red Hood gang, and after that, Bruce got heavily injured and was being treated by Alfred.

The scene changed again, and now Bruce had a horrified look on his face as he watched the bat break the window.

'It's a canon event, Bro,' I thought, while the scene changed again.

***

The scene changed to Bruce, who was now in a chemical plant, wearing his first Batsuit, reaching out to a man in a tuxedo, red cape, and a long red helmet. Bruce extended his hand as the man fell into a vat of chemicals.

But after the man fell into the chemicals, everything changed. Before, I used to see the memories like short videos, but now they changed to a fast slideshow, only showing images.

I watched as Bruce, now Batman, began to fight criminals, villains, crime organizations, and metahumans while he built his Batcave and various gadgets.

As he built them, I continued to acquire his skills. Like when he built the Brother Eye, I acquired his coding skills. With each skill I gained from Batman and what Death of the Endless said about me watching memories, it led me to my conclusion as to why I was seeing all of this.

'I'm not watching memories of Bruce Wayne, I'm watching my own memories as Bruce Wayne,' I thought as I went through a mindfuck while memories continued to flash by.

For years, he fought against Ra's al Ghul, Bane, Riddler, Bane,Penguin, Two-Face, Scarecrow, and worst of all, Joker, and many more, as those villains continued to kill and destroy countless innocent lives just for shits and giggles. And every time Batman would defeat them one way or another, he would put them in Arkham, only for them to escape and kill again.

Of course, along the way, like the horny man he is, he fell in love with many women, both allies and enemies, almost creating a harem for himself. However, he fucked it up all of those relationships along the way. He also collected orphan kids like Pokémon to be his sidekicks. Although he could have had his own children, not counting the little shit he had with Talia.

I watched as this continued for years. Villains would create chaos, destroy, and kill numerous people. Batman would defeat them and imprison them in Arkham, only for them to escape and kill once more.

Along the way, Batman lost many people he loved because he chose to imprison these monsters instead of killing them.

'It's nothing but a fucking endless cycle of madness,' I thought as I watched the flashing images of Batman's villains killing, then getting beaten up by Batman, then getting thrown into Arkham, only for them to escape and repeat this shitshow all over again.

***

The memories change again from the images to short videos as I watched Joker gather many couples with their children in the alley where Batman's parents died, while Batman lay on the ground tied up.

Then Joker began to kill the children's parents while he forced the children and Batman to watch. After Joker killed the children's parents, he exposed them to his Joker toxin, which turned their skin pale, their hair green, and put a sickening smile on their faces.

While Joker was killing the parents of the children, Batman freed himself from his rope and began to brutally beat Joker. Blood and teeth splattered everywhere. However, after beating Joker for a while, Batman got behind him and broke his neck. After Joker died, green smoke began to come out of his mouth. It was Joker toxin that had been inside him, which Batman inhaled.

'Oh shit! It's the one who laughs. I'm the reincarnation of the one who laughs. I'm so fucked.'

***

I watched as Batman and Superman looked at the children of the couples Joker killed, but strangely, Batman had a smile on his face while looking at the children who were affected by Joker's toxin.

[A/N: After this, it isn't canon but my story]

Then the scene changed to Batman, now in a mirrored room, beating Riddler mercilessly, perhaps even more brutally than he normally would, with a wide grin on his pale face. After beating Riddler for a while and probably breaking almost all of his bones, Batman got up and lifted his foot right above Riddler's head.

"Do it," I said, trying to imitate the palpatine's voice.

But just then, Batman caught sight of his reflection in one of the mirrors. His grin faded, and he hurried back to the Batcave to take the antidote.

After almost killing the Riddler, Batman continued to fight criminals, but this time he beat them far more brutally.He nearly killed several other villains, but the antidote helped him hold back. That was until he faced Killer Croc and took a blow to the head. The scene changed again.

I watched as Batman stood before the gates of Arkham Asylum with bloody hands and a wide grin on his face. While the skinless body of Killer Croc was hanging from the gates, with a hollow chest and a heart in his mouth.

Batman stood there and looked at Killer Croc's body for a while as his smile slowly disappeared before he returned to the Batcave to use the antidote. But this time, he didn't inject the antidote through his bloodstream. Instead, he directly stabbed the needle into his heart, causing his heart to stop.

But as I looked at Batman's lifeless body, Death of the Endless, my waifu, appeared. I wanted to rush to her, but she simply smiled, winked, and placed a finger to her lips.

"Shhh"

***

I watched as Batman and Death of the Endless left Gotham to traverse the world in search of a cure for Batman's madness. Batman also brought a bunch of antidotes with him. Each one more potent than the last, hoping to keep some of his sanity.

While searching for a cure, Batman didn't forget to further develop his skills, which also benefited me. However, during his travels, he lost his mind several times, and I watched him mercilessly slaughter others for fun, with a smile on his face. Death of the Endless, who was traveling with him, never interfered with anything; she just watched Batman, just like me.

They traveled to many places, but Batman avoided places with people he knew, as he knew he posed a danger to them. They traveled to places like ancient ruins, the Rock of Eternity, and even Hell. Although Batman did find a cure during their journey, every time he did, the one who laughs would take over his mind and destroy the cure.

***

Batman outdid himself this time. I watched him sneak into Apokolips using the Mother Box, find Darkseid's treasure, and steal Father Box from it. Then he returned to the Batcave and built a machine with Nth metal, into which he uploaded his own consciousness.

Then, Batman traveled to the World Forge and built a spaceship with Element X. He combined the Father Box with the spaceship. With help from Death of the Endless, who opened a hole in the Source Wall, Batman launched the spaceship out of DC. Just before the ship passed the Source Wall and my vision faded, I glanced at Batman one final time. I saw a smile on his face that was far creepier than Joker's, as his eyes started to glow red.
