    Gotham's Strange Revelation?

    Strange Magic?

    Gotham's Strange Experiment?

    The Pressure of a Strange Legacy?

    Gotham's Greatest Legacy?

    I'll keep thinking

    It doesn't have to directly reference anything related to Gotham. Maybe something with stranger in it? To play on Hugo Strange while also capturing the theme of Bruce's father being a stranger to him. Like:

    To a Stranger
    The Stranger in Red
    Chasing Strangers

    Unrelated to that, something like Every Shadow Has Its Name?

    Chasing Strangers is good, maybe A Stranger's Legacy. For the fact that bruce has to deal with Wayne Enterprises as well?

    That's not a bad title, but it's lacking in character somewhat.

    The Stranger on the Other Side of the Door is a little longwinded, and the way it looks and rolls of the tongue is ruined a little by how many 'the's there are.

    The Stranger in Red? Kind of after The King in Yellow.

    Goddamn, this is hard.

    Struggles of the Black Court (meaning Batman and whatever allies he has, with the eventual addition of Harry)

    Green on Black Background (simple enough)

    Secrets of Wayne (referring to the company)

    The Door that Refused to Open (hinting on the mystery)

    Eh, not sure if they're like what you're looking for. I quite liked T3t's idea. In any case, good luck with your story. Plot looks interesting. But does it have to be Batman Beyond?

    How about A Strange Kingdom? Gotham has a knight, a wizard, a jester, a prince in the form of Bruce Wayne, and many people trying to be the king of Gotham so it kind of fits.

    I really like The Struggles of the Black Court, and A Strange Kingdom is brilliant. Thanks a lot guys.

    I still want to add one more component of A Strange Kingdom. Just something like "Nightfall in a Strange Kingdom"? Make A Strange Kingdom the foundation of the title but something else to round it off.

    Hmmm...

    'Curse Of A Strange Kingdom' - if you're looking to tie in the notion of magic to the whole concept.

    'Chosen Of A Strange Kingdom' - this, I like, because it links Harry (as the Chosen One) and the concept of Batman as a chosen protector.

    Is Strange really going to be the main villain? The vibe I got off of reading your story was the Strange was just the beginning of something bigger. A conspiracy in which Strange is only a small part of.
    But if Strange will be your main antagonist, then ok. Naturally, I'd prefer if you went with my suggestion :) I don't really like "Strange" being the center of the title.

    A few questions. You said you'll use the Batman Beyond setting, no? The one in future-Gotham? Will you keep Bruce as the Batman instead of the punk the show is using? And what about Strange? Shouldn't he have died of old age by now?
    But then you also said that Bruce is in the beginning of his Batman career. This is confusing me. Some clarifications please?

    It's possible that I'm just confusing several things together, but eh.

    Accidental awesome?

    I said not Batman Beyond. I only mentioned it in that thread because the poster before me in that thread referenced it. And the context of Bruce being at the beginning of his crimefighting career should have made that clear.

    Sounds to me that he's just using a 'general' DC setting; nothing too specific such as -for examples- Batman: The Brave and the Bold or Justice League: Animated (which is the best, imho; allows more creative room, and allows elements from parallel DC universes -such as Powergirl and Supergirl, as two more examples- to be used, at the same time).

    If Harry is the key component to the plot, the title should reference him directly in some way, not everything else in general.

    Depending on his character, something about death, vengeance, or fury could be used.

    Raven is one choice due to its symbolism with life and death, but because of the color of his hair and the poor use of that poetic meaning in piss-poor grade ffn fanfiction, it may not be a wise choice.
