So danny was visiting jazz's new phyciatritrist business in gothem

From the sounds of it, its going great!!!

Most of the local rouges have been coming in , and from jazz's talks their getting better, she even said she'd introduce him to someone called mr.freeze who has ice powers and is a doctor danny wonders if he could help him with research, but there are 2 problems

Some furries keep trying to hack into her system, break into the building and attempting to get her to break doctors patient confidentiality, though tucker, reinforced walls from their parents and the anti-creep stick dealt with that problem

Though the option of sending danny after them is always on the table

Thats not the main problem though

No the problem is someone called the joker

Apparently he got word of a good phyciatritrist helping the rouges and according to jazz "tried to make them go back to his level" Apparently its a phyciatritrist term for when someone feels like others are getting better and they arent so they want to bring them back down so they dont have to change.

Anyway jazz is refusing to see him for a lot of reasons, the negativity and the refusal to get help being the main 2

So jazz called danny up to see if he could get this joker to leave her alone

.

.

.

Jazz, her clients, batman, red hood and the joker were all in front of her building

Jazz's clients were there because when they got word that the batman AND the joker were there they came running

Joker is there because he wants to distroy this goody-two-shoes fraud of a bitch

Red hood it there because he wanted to book an appointment

And batman is there to try and get information of what this jasmine fenton is up to

They've been talking for about half an hour trying to deflate the situation

After the joker pulled out his gun so did everyone else and this is what got jazz to snap

THATS ENOUGH, you can't barge in here are try to distroy other peoples chance for proper mental health, and you batman cant know whats going on eveywhere its not healthy and is disrespectful to other peoples privacy

The joker fired his gun at jazz and batman was about to try to save the girl when...something happened

A black and white blur got in the middle of joker and Dr.jazz

When the blur stopped ot showed a 16 year old boy with blue eyes, black hair bags under his eyes and he looked as calm as can be

???: you ok jazz

Jazz:yess I'm fine, danny could you please get joker and batman off my property, after i would love to introduce you to my clients

Jazz smiled at the boy and the boy ,now danny, smiled back

Then he turned to face the batfam and the joker

Danny:ok chuckles you have 3 seconds to leave befor i make you

The joker laughed, or he did until danny took 2 steps foreward and ATE him

Dislocated his gaw, opened his wouth wider than it should and ATE him

Danny swallowed the joker turned to the batman and with Lazarus green eyes that they all knew as the pit rage and said

Batman and every dbd killer is stuck in gotham in a long halloween/no man's land kind of scenario where the US government has shut down gotham. He gets no outside help from calling in the justice league but has access to all his normal Gotham based pals (the batfamily, Gordon, ect ect). Each killer is taken right before they would end up in the entity's realm

Batman's win con is to capture each of the killers before the year is up or before they can somehow escape the No man's land containment and our ratings where:

Adoption Papers - Batman would redeem and perhaps add this person to the batfamily

Gotham PD - Batman just sticks commissioner Gordon on them, they're not worth his time.

Batman Solos - Takes some effort but Batman can take them out in like, a week.

Batman and Robin - Batman needs to call in help from one or more robins to stand a chance.

Death In The Family - This person is either going to escape or get a kill on one or more of the batfamily. If he's able to capture this person it likely comes at the cost of letting other villains escape.

Escapes Containment - For the people Batman cannot catch, either they can't reasonably be contained to one area or  are good enough at going to ground to hide from Batman until the lockdown is over.

The Trapper: Gotham PD - Guys just a dude with bear traps, ain't no way.

The Wraith: Adoption Papers - Philip just wants a good life, he doesn't even start trouble when transported to Gotham.

The Hillbilly: Batman Solos - Too dangerous to send the cops after, but Batman himself should have no trouble.

The Nurse: Gotham PD - No Powers? No Bitches?

The Shape: Batman and Robin - The Shape is very physically impressive and is surprisingly smart as well. He's basically a lesser bane, he'd need to call in one of the robins I feel.

The Hag: Batman and Robin - The hag IS able to use her runes before being taken by the entity, admittedly it summons the entity, but that level of power is very dangerous. Batman does have magical knowledge though, so I reckon he's got this.

The Doctor: Batman and Robin - Very similar to other batman villains like professor pig and Hugo Strange, I reckon Batman would need to call in tim drake to help hunt him down.

The Huntress: Batman and Robin - I think the huntress goes unnoticed for quite some time, she can craft her own hatchets so there's no paper trail to follow and by the time he does find her, he's gonna get stuck by surprise lycanthrope. If he takes a weaker robin along there's even a low chance for a death in the family.

The Cannibal: Batman Solos -Pretty much the same as Hillbilly.

The Nightmare: Escapes Containment - Without access to call in people like Zitana or John Constantine, Batman has no way to really catch or contain the dream demon. He gets away, though likely gets caught by one of the other heroes after he escapes.

The Pig: Gotham PD - Jigsaw is a discount riddler, Amanda is a discount Jigsaw. Gotham PD have been dealing with this shit for ages, they've got this.

The Clown: Gotham PD - Clown was close to getting caught before he got taken by regular cops, Commissioner Gordon can handle this one.

The Spirit: Batman and Robin - By my rules she's taken right where she is in her tome and in my eyes at that point she's already become a ghost possessing her own body, if she's just a corpse then obvious Gotham PD level, but I think she is a new spirit haunting Gotham that has a physical form batman can capture.

The Legion: Gotham PD - These kids were about to get caught anyway, they stand no chance. Small chance for Susie to get adopted.

The Plague: Death In The Family - If the plague isn't one of the first ones caught, her infection will spread throughout Gotham, if any of the batfamily get it there's a very high chance they die. Batman could synthesize a cure, but he'd need to get access to the virus to do so and from there it's a race against time he's not guaranteed to win, and all the time spent doing that is time the other killers have to get established. She gets caught early, but she consumes a lot of Batman's time.

The Ghost Face: Gotham PD - Another killer that was already gonna be caught in his original timeline, stands no chance here.

The Demogordon: Batman and Robin - The Demogordon was ultimately handled by a group of kids and is very animalistic in its intelligence. Batman is able to tussle with killer croc, I think he can do this with some difficulty.

The Oni: Batman Solos - There's  a chance that the oni takes out or teams up with some of the other villains and gets access to their resources like Bane's venom in which case he becomes Batman and robin, but by base hes just a strong warlord.

The Deathslinger: Adoption Papers - Violent Vigilante with a gun... where have I heard this before. Deathslinger is becoming redhoods new BFF and is reluctantly joining the batman. Batman solo's otherwise.

The Executioner: Escapes Containment - There is no fucking way Batman captures the Pyramid Head.

The Blight: Batman and Robin/Batman Solos - If taken when he's a survivor the first time he gets taken, this is just an evil scientist like Mister Freeze who is willing to do anything for science so he goes in the tier with other Villain-Alike killers. If he's taken from the second time the entity grabs him as the blight then this is an easy Batman solos, dude is practically mindless.

The Twins: Adoption Papers - They ain't done nothing wrong, they just wanna live their life.

The Trickster: Gotham PD - Without his manager to cover for him, he gets caught so fast.

The Nemesis: Death In The Family - Batman's no kill rule really hurts him here, without being willing to kill Nemesis the dude just keeps coming back more and more of the threat. His best hope? Red Hood brings out the flamethrower and decimates the guy early on.

The Cenobite: Batman and Robin - Perhaps controversial, but I believe Batman would be able to find, solve and survive the box. With the help of an experienced Robin like Nightwing, I Honestly think he could capture the box and keep it locked up in the batcave for the year it would take the lockdown to end, then give it to Zitana or John.

The Artist: Adoption Papers - She is transported to Gotham missing her hands and feet and has no desire to hurt people. She's fine.

The Onryō: Escapes Containment - I honestly think the Onryō has a pretty good chance of killing Batman himself and then escaping Gotham, he's been caught by memetic attacks before like in DC-eased as he uses a lot of screens. 

The Dredge: Escapes Containment - Without the cult in this reality its unknown how much power the dredge would even have, but assuming it can latch onto the minds of the people of Gotham, Batman really doesn't have a way to handle this.

The Mastermind: Death In The Family - Lets be clear, Albert Wesker is going go go to ground, no-one will hear of him and then suddenly resident evil is happening in Gotham. High chance he manages to infect one or more of the batfamily, and the due is smart at that, ain't no way batman is having this easily.

The Knight: Batman and Robin -  If Tarhos shows up alone? Gotham PD. If he gets his whole army? Escapes containment. Assuming a middleground of his three BFF's this is a small gang that will start recruiting, Batman and a particularly violent Robin (Red Hood or Damian Wayne) will have to stop them quickly, but they can manage that.

Skull Merchant: Batman Solos - She uses tech and I straight up don't believe she's good enough to hide the wifi signals from Bruce. She's getting caught.

The Singularity: Escapes Containment - I don't see how you're keeping this thing inside of Gotham. Day 1 its gone and is someone else's problem.

The Xenomorph: Death In The Family - This thing is going to shred through Robins and even Batman himself would struggle. He'd need to plan a trap/ambush and it will start to adapt to the city and blend in like it did the ship.

The Good Guy: Batman Solos - The only reason hes not Gotham PD tier is because he needs to be kept in special containment to not soul hop.

The Unknown: Escapes Containment - ahahahahahah No. Another Memetic hazard one that Batman is undeniably getting hit with.

The Lich: Escapes Containment - AHHAHAHAHA No. This is a justice league level threat.

The Dark Lord: Escapes Containment - AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA NO. Another justice league level threat.

The Houndmaster: Batman Solos - If she has her crew then he might need a Robin, but I didn't give the Knight his army so this is just a girl and her dog.

What if the phantom thieves ended up in Gothem

The idea is simple so I’ll just make some quick points before taking about the potential (also I’m calling persona joker just Joker and Batman joker The Joker)

1. No Ryuji won’t immediately walk up to Batman and say he’s a phantom thief, as much as we joke he only really did that at the start when he was both very new and didn’t understand how serious everything was, he was also shown in universe to get better at deflecting so he wouldn’t immediately spoil everything… immediately…

2. This has to be an alternative universe just because Joker won’t name himself after a crazy man and Batman would probably come to Shibuya the second the phantom thieves appear, even faster somehow if he heard Joker be called… Joker

3. The persona users can use their powers in the real world. It makes sense in universe because the DC world had superpowers everywhere so the collective unconsciousness would allow them to have powers

4. The phantom’s do have access to the Metaverse and can change people’s hearts, this would be incredibly useful in Gotham just because how corrupt it is (on a completely unrelated note do you think The Joker would even need a name for his palace because he forgot his name, completely unrelated)

5. The phantom’s have personal documents, all their items from P5, P5R, and P5S. Everyone is max level, complete compendium except for the really OP dlc personas and max money, they still have access to the velvet room and that’s probably the reason they are in Gothem

6. As for the phantoms weaknesses, in the real world SP/HP cost is double and if they don’t pay the increased amount, they unleash a weaker move then expected (light<medium<heavy<severe<colossal) they only have the main thieves and the meta nave still needs all the usual components



Can you imagine imagine Batman patrolling around when he hears skull say something like “man we need to figure out where we ended up and meet up with Joker”

Imagine if Batman tails skull and engages with the phantom thieves taking them down mostly with stealth while they are still confused until Joker appears

IMAGINE THE FIGHT OH MY GOD

I can imagine them trying to guess one of Batman’s rogues and they just say ‘Batman’ and the nav just says “candidate found” because he thinks Batman is his real name (they probably would just leave him alone there)

I can see The Joker’s palace being like the mementos of the scenario, it’s confusing, somehow more distorted then the depths, and you only get further into it by becoming better ‘playmates’ or by increasing his interest in the thieves 

Can you IMAGINE the panic that goes through Batman’s mind when the thieves launch the Futaba cannon to send their first calling card (probably to two face since he had a life before and doesn’t hide his name)

AND IMAGINE HIS PANIC WHEN HE HAS A CHANGE OF HEART!!!
