Works In Progress

Now And Then (T): Fifth in the Series of Three, Now And Then takes place shortly after the conclusion of events in What Lies Ahead. The search begins as the protectors of Gotham race the clock to find the Joker and Harley before they begin to reacquaint themselves to their murderous ways. Mattie's desire to fight crime is only fueled as the Clown Prince of Crime begins to leave his mark on Gotham City. Unlike lightning, tragedy begins to strike the Family again and again and it isn't long before the Joker's seemingly random crimes all come together...


Coming Attractions

A Happy Ending: After nearly losing her to the wrath of Hush, Bruce finally admits to Selina how he feels about her. As she slowly recovers from her heart surgery, the both of them slowly come together in a way they never imagined before. But it's only a matter of time before reality interferes. Based on Detective Comics #850, the conclusion of the Heart of Hush storyline.

Charades: With Batman working with the JLA, Robin and Batgirl must defend the city of Gotham from evil doers. Although Robin is used to working with his monosyllabic mentor, working alongside a near mute makes matters interesting... albeit entertaining. One-shot on the early friendship between Tim and Cassandra, set shortly after the events in No Man's Land.

The Lone Son: While the rest of the Family has come to terms with the death of Bruce Wayne, Tim refuses to accept the unacceptable and takes on a personal mission to find his mentor. In the guise of Red Robin, he must battle the ridicule of his allies, the threats of old foes and the chance that he is wrong and has indeed lost another father...

Untitled: After giving her young daughter up for adoption in order to protect her, Selina told Bruce that she needed to be alone and he obliged her. They were both wrong. Set immediately following the events of Catwoman #72.

Untitled: Years earlier, they had finally gone their separate ways - Dick had donned the guise of Red Robin to fight alongside the Justice League while Bruce had sealed himself in the Bat-Cave in order to run Gotham as a police state with a collection of allies and robots. After joining forces to fight against the escaped metas, they must try to set their relationship straight, especially after the great sacrifice of Captain Marvel and the loss of so many of their allies. Set to follow the conclusion of Kingdom Come.

World's Finest: Batman and Superman find each other as necessary allies in a battle against the joined forces of Lex Luthor and Two-Face. Based on the events depicted in Sandy Collora's World's Finest fan trailer (also directed Batman: Dead End)
