3. The Second Life of Batman

(Batman # 127)

This imaginary story asks what would happen if Bruce Wayne’s parents hadn’t been shot.

In it, his parents die in a car crash once Wayne is an adult. Wayne just becomes a major friggin’ jerk. He shows up at a costume party dressed as Superman, but the party is interrupted by a criminal: Blue Bat, the underworld tyrant, who…just dresses exactly like Batman.

The real Superman shows up, and Bruce Wayne helps him catch the last of the criminals, but the Blue Bat gets away. Wayne steals a spare Blue Bat costume, infiltrates the gang, beats up the Blue Bat, and becomes a new hero: Batman! Wearing the exact same outfit made famous by a master criminal.

That seems like a flawed idea at best, Bruce.
