DC AU

Creator: Edge, Vivs

Description:

Superhero au where Dunwall is a mix of Gotham and Metropolis. Daud--the Batman of Dishonored.

characters:

So Daud is Batman

Corvo is Superman.

Jess is Wonder Woman

Emily is Supergirl.

Billie is Red Hood. Batman has like, four sons and his second son, Jason, was Robin but got captured and killed by Joker. But then he was revived and turned against batman. He goes against batman's strict no killing rule and kills people (cough cough like how billie betrayed daud you know cough cough) and calls himself Red Hood. Also Billie wears red too!

The Whalers are just an amalgamation of teen titans and Whomever the Fuck is out there because DC has too many heros vigilantes we can just comb through and take what we like.

Thomas is just Tim (batman's third son who is literally super smart, has neglectful but wealthy parents, and also saved Batman’s ass a gazillion times).

Lizzie is Catwoman. Daud/Batman is raising eyebrows to her theatrics but they still work together.

Maybe Poison Ivy is Delilah? ‘Cause of the plants?

Okay I know nothing about Galia but now I’m just imagining her as Black Canary.

Harley broke from Joker's influence so she could also be one of the Boyles. Lydia’s the crazy one, maybe her.

Curnow is commissioner Gordon. Curnow using the bat signal to try to summon Corvo and he just gets Daud.

does this mean Callista is Batgirl? In the comics, Batgirl is commissioner Gordon's daughter. She basically kicked ass until she got so hurt she was paralysed and ended up in a wheelchair, and could no longer do hero work. So she became Oracle--the tech back up info person on the comms. So what I'm saying is Callista could totally be a fence/holding smt for the common people in secret like those people that were stuck in the flooded district and were waiting for a boat to pick them up? She arranged that.

the outsider being more grim reaper like makes his neutrality even more balanced as the taker and bringer of life, he’s impartial despite the negative connotations.

THE COUP CREW IS THE SUICIDE SQUAD. JOKER BURROWS. Martin is Two-Face maybe? ‘Cause he acts all nice but then also has this evil scheming side. I feel like Havelock would make a solid Deadpool. Treavor maybe as, like, the Riddler.

What if Samuel is Alfred. Okay but this makes it seem like Daud and Samuel are just vibing while Samuel scrutinizes his very questionable choices.

story elements:

I bet the loyalists used the lazarus pit to heal/revive Corvo (in the comics, the lazarus pit was what healed Red Hood. The waters of lazarus pit can heal people very well and can even grant immortality. Also it has pit in its name and, you know, hound pits pub ). Also omg if that's the case, then what if corvo literally was revived from the dead. (oh, and the lazarus pit sometimes drives people mad. You know, like high chaos options).

Like they didn’t get him out, they just waited for the body after the execution and brought him back. Corvo probably still has the scar from however they killed him, and he has to hide it from Emily. HE DIED AND WENT TO THE VOID. That’s how he met the Outsider.

Omg Corvo would be like, poisoned with kryptonite and then wake up to just being left in a pit and he's?? Like wtf I’m literally superhuman. Corvo jumps and doesn’t realize he can fly, catapulting himself 50 ft into the air.

And then he gets to Daud and he realizes "What the fuck this dude. Has no powers. No. None. Just angst and coffee and a brain that is intelligent but so stupid". Corvo doesn’t even fight daud he just flies around him pointing and laughing. Daud isn’t even marked by the outsider in this au (because of no powers) so the Outsider is just this guy who shows up, taunts him and leaves. Working behind the scenes, meeting contacts, making arrangements and shit. Okay but actually Corvo Daud duel and Daud has a knife made of kryptonite.

Instead of going all the way through the flooded district after Daud is defeated pennyworth Samuel just pulls up.

Corvo: You know these guys??

Sam: Sir Thomas and sir Rulfio told me I should come in.

Pennyworth Samuel somehow channeled maximum disappointment at full range with minimum effort. At the Whalers and Batman of course. Superman/Corvo didn't do anything wrong. Ok you know how pennyworth calls everyone "master" and "mistress" etc. and that's just a part of his character and how sam calls people "sir" and "ma'am/(young) lady" as well. Pennyworth raised Bruce. Samuel spent his whole life getting to know people, but especially emotionally constipated sailors men neither have powers but both are invincible.

WAIT SO SAM IS DAUD'S DAD!! That’s so funny. Corvo gets Daud in a headlock and Samuel has to pull them apart, despite corvos super strength. Samuel already has a constant migraine from Batman's orphan hoarding, but sunshine Corvo?? Who hasn't eaten and slept and is poisoned?? Just gave the migraine a new record.

Sam boats around Dunwall and gets recognized by everyone, nobody robs him because if they did they’d have 25 superheroes on their ass.
