Duplicity
Rated PG-13: language, violence, some mature concepts.
Bruce Wayne/Batman, Dick Grayson/Nightwing, Harvey Dent/Two-Face, Kathy Kane/Batwoman, and all other important characters
belong to DC Comics/Time Warner.
I am using them without permission, however I have not and don’t expect to make money from this.
Based (loosely) on 'The Crimes of Two-Face', Detective Comics 66, 1942; 'The Man Who Led a Double Life',
Detective 68, 1942; and 'The End of Two-Face', Detective Comics 80, 1943.
Batman and Nightwing are helpless as an old friend begins the long slide into madness... and crime.
This takes place in the AU created in 'Birds of a Feather', based
on the Batman comics of the 40's and 50's with some elements from the present-day version, and
taking place a few years ago.
It includes only the Golden/early Silver Age characters:
principally Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson, Alfred, Commissioner Gordon, Kathy Kane (the original Batwoman), and Barbara Gordon.
Any differences from current canon are probably because I'm starting from
the Golden Age version of the characters and their origins. Think of it
as taking the Batman and Robin of the 1940's, modernizing them, and giving their story
a twist.
With some reservations, I've gone with the better-known version of Harvey's name: Harvey Dent, instead of the
original: Harvey Kent. Harvey's friendship with Bruce is from the animated series, along with a few other elements;
in the original he was a friend of Batman's.
Complete.
