Gotham’s Dead End Bar Novel Summary

Step 1: Be a serial reincarnator. Step 2: End up in Gotham with Death of the Endless. Step 3: Open a neutral-ground bar for heroes and villains. Step 4: ??? Step 5: Profit.

Don’t go into this story expecting something serious or (grim)dark. This isn’t that kind of story and that’s not what I’m trying to do here. This is a story about a bartender telling crazy stories about his time in the multiverse to the villains and heroes of DC. It’s practically crack, about two steps removed from a fix-it fic. There is a plot (eventually, the beginning chapters are pretty slice-of-life heavy) but it’s never going to be some grand tale of tragedy.

In the same lane, don’t expect the same Batman/Bat Family that you might be used to. No paranoiax10, dark, and gritty ‘Batman can’t be/have fun!’ Batman. My Batman is more in line with the ‘Batdad’ concept or the animated series Batman.

Also, this is kind of an AU. Not in any major way but some of the story might not match up perfectly with the DC canon continuity. I’m going for a static DC universe. So characters and their backstories are set but I’ll be avoiding the major plot points of the comics (Dark Multiverse, Infinite Frontier, etc.)
