If You Give a Bat a Burger is a popular gen fanfic in the crossover fandom DP x DC. It has inspired a number of recursive works, including many inspired by a popular red duck candle that appears in the fic and has since spread throughout the fandom and gained its own dedicated AO3 collection[1].

Summary

Strange things are going on in Gotham: A series of crimes linked only by a sentence uttered. A drug that no one seems to be selling, but lots of people are taking. An old enemy reborn, or someone pretending to be him. Graffiti that can't be photographed by normal means. Bartenders disappearing without a trace. John Constantine is also there.

Danny wants nothing to do with any of it. He just wants to sell burgers and survive. Actually, he'd like to go home again, but since that isn't possible, he'll stick with burgers.

Gotham's vigilante's have other plans.

This is why Danny doesn't do favors.

Fan Reviews and Responses

Tumblr

Detouring away from the ducks for a moment, this is a very good elseworld-style crossover fanfic. It has a more traditional spirits-magic-hauntings-psychopomps take on Danny Phantom lore than canon and they use it to create a really cool urban-fantasy mystery setting for the characters. (If you’ve encountered the Ben Aaronovitch Rivers of London novels, this has a similar general vibe and aesthetic).
