Gotham: I Chose Not to Be Batman
Will Quinn woke up in Gotham with someone else's body and the worst possible realization, he knew exactly who was supposed to save this city.
That person doesn't exist. No Batman. No Alfred. No signal in the sky.
Just a rotting city, a body trained for something he wants no part of, and a universe that clearly picked the wrong guy.
Instead of the cape, Will chose the ladder.
Alongside Oswald Cobblepot - ambitious, reckless, one bad decision from becoming the most dangerous man in Gotham — he starts climbing the underworld from the bottom. Meta-knowledge of a story gone off-script is his only edge. He plays Falcone against Maroni, survives the sewers, and calls a bluff across Carmine Falcone's dinner table that he had no business surviving.
But Gotham has rules. Fixed points. Things the narrative demands whether Will agrees or not. And a comic book that keeps reappearing in his jacket no matter how many times he loses it.
The cowl is in the cave. He's not going back for it.
No system. No powers. Pure crime-thriller transmigration.
MC is smart, morally grey, and allergic to heroism.
Slow-burn Selina Kyle romance. Penguin origin story. Gotham underworld politics.
