    i want to see one where batman and his rogues all have the same origin up to a point. where bruce wayne witnesses his parents murdered and grows up into the batman but is a near joker level sociopathic killer that is just as every bit as competent as a heroic batman. where the villains joker, poison ivy, harely quinn, bane, freeze, cobblepot(penguin) become a band of heroes instead of baddies by the same events.

    bruce wayne corporate titan by day, crazed killer by night.

    Sounds interesting, but I would reduce the heroes on one of them, his arch-enemy Joker. The crazy superhero against the cold, calculating villain.

    That's pretty much what Grant Morrison did with JLA: Earth Two a few years back. It was the same concept as the old earth 3 but modernized and set in the Anti-matter universe since there was no longer a multiverse. It was a loosely the basis for the movie Crisis on Two Earths. It's a really great read if you get the chance.
