[Western Crossover] Because I'm Batcat

If you don't like it, please cut your losses in time. Don't buy the whole thing all at once!! Don't buy the whole thing all at once!! This was completely a spur-of-the-moment project!!

Starting from Chapter 26, the chapters are being put behind a paywall, so be careful not to buy chapters you've already read!

Welcome to Gotham, my precious little kitty... [Strikethrough, pfft]

This is Gotham, located in the wondrous United States of America. It is a decaying capital of crime and a city where wickedness runs riot. It lives beneath a pall of gloom, with the stench of corruption and evil pervading every street and alley. Gang warfare and crimes of passion are commonplace.

Then, without warning, a bat-eared cat man appeared. The only superhero on Earth roamed Gotham, the city with the highest crime rate in New Jersey, planting the shadow of fear in everyone's mind. It was only after he single-handedly brought Gotham's crime rate down and saved people that they truly understood what a superhero was.

"Those people will never know that the Batman they look up to really is a cat," said the tortoiseshell Joker cat beside him, who had twisted his neck while grooming himself.

The sudden pain made his green eyes narrow in agony, but it wasn't long before the Joker cat forgot the pain as soon as the wound healed. He blinked. "Do you still need grooming, Bat?"

Considering the poor state of the other cat's neck, the black cat, whose eyes had narrowed into a sideways, flattened "D," shook his head and firmly turned down the offer.

To escape the regretful look that immediately followed, he turned and dove into his humanoid machine.

As always, by day he played Gotham's much-adored sweetheart, and by night he became the Dark Knight, locking the energetic lunatics in Arkham and diligently fighting crime.

Everything was going smoothly. Just as Batcat thought this peaceful life would continue, countless outsiders burst into his world, leaving him frazzled as he struggled to deal with them.

Arkham Knight: I didn't want to come here, old man.

Vampire Nightwing: Take it easy, Bruce. At least I'm on your side.

Talon Dick: I don't think you need to ask the dead for their opinion, do you?

Owlman: I came for Dick. It has little to do with you, my brother.

Batcat couldn't send them away, so he could only grit his teeth and take them in. He thought his world had finally settled down.

But who would have thought that an organization like the Nightmare Knights would show up in his world too?

Though this was their first time meeting, the man wearing pointed visor goggles looked at him with not only an inexplicable familiarity, but also a hint of meaning. "So, are you going to kill us?"

Batcat, completely at a loss and feeling as though he'd missed something: "?"

As the only superhero on Multiverse Earth 10086, aka Batman, he was once again having a thoroughly stressful day dealing with the problem of "outsiders."

I wrote a new version of the blurb, but it still doesn't feel right. What's going on?

Theme: No matter how perilous the journey, we will break free from the cage of hardship.
