Due to pitifully low long-term conversion rates, the PER has decided that the best way to 'save' humans is to convert them against their wills. After several large potion bombings, the world drives them back into their homeland until the barrier is constructed as Celestia's last-ditch method of survival.

Unfortunately, this short war only brings about more supporters for the PER in Equestria, leading to the potion attacks on Gotham. These attacks were unprecedented in scale and in results. Hundreds of thousands of the residents of Gotham were forcibly converted, and, unfortunately, Bruce Wayne (Batman) was among them.

Besides from leaving criminals with much more freedom, this act of the PER also led to another unforeseen consequence: enraging the Joker. After all, he had finally found that which would finally break the spirit of both the city and the Batman, but it had all been ruined by the accursed ponies.

Now, with a thirst for bloodshed, he goes about repaying the PER for what they have done, his sights set on anything walking on four legs. However, as with many things the Joker is involved with, it may just fall into the disarray and chaos he is known for.

But who knows, the city may even consider him a hero after what he has planned for the equines...

EDIT: Rewriting this stuff. Will post next chapter when done.

Chapters (4)
Comments ( 94 )

After reading this story, it has been determined that its content is not in keeping with what The Conversion Bureau group is looking for. This story will be removed from the group.

Fyi I am imagining Mark Hamill voicing Joker and not Heath Ledger.

Lol works well with either voice

I assume the reason for this being that it hasn't gotten to the part containing more ponies? If so, i'd appreciate your waiting for the story to really take form, as this is only just a beginning from which it can go in any number of directions.

Truthfully, the primary reason for the removal of the story had nothing to do with the amount of pony in it. If it's enough for the site, then that suffices for the group, in addition to obvious need for the core elements of a TCB story. The primary reason that this story was removed from the group was that the focus of the story appears (and I will grant that the story is still young) to be the Joker carrying out a campaign of fear and terror against the ponies for converting Batman. That, coupled with the fact that most of the second chapter appears to retain a bulk of the content from the Joker's initial scenes in The Dark Knight film, was enough for me to make the decision I did. Should the story's premise become more benign in later chapters, then I would be happy to re-evaluate my decision. But for the time being, a story like this is not something that we are interested in having as part of our group.

I suppose that isn't unreasonable. I made the first chapter like the opening of the movie simply because I thought it would be a nice way for it to start. I hope the next few chapters will show that it will NOT be just the movie with ponies, but in fact it's own being, following far different events that spiral in one of several decisions, depending on how i decide to write it.

I hate Conversion Bureau Stories with every fiber of my being... But I like this one. Liked and faved. Keep it up.

The idea is interesting, but one thing I noticed about this joker is that unlike the Joker in The Dark Knight, he didn't really kill any one of his guys after the heist. I'm also surprised that this potion seems to just change humans forcibly, but leaves the mind intact rather than convert it into a mindless happy drone that it normally does in other CB stories.

Like the idea, but wondering whether or not Joker is going to make that potion into something similar to his laughing gas. Also, it would be really helpful to gain insight from Batman himself about his current situation, and whether or not he'll have to choose between the two evils of either forced conversion ponies or a mad criminal mastermind.

Update soon and good luck!

This is going to be good.

Also, if you could please put in Harley Quinn.

Bring in all of Batman's Rouge's Gallery in minus Ghul since he would actually sympathize with Celestia.

I didn't have any of the henchmen killed because I think that, due to his hatred of anything pony because of what the PER has done, he would consider having humans kill each other or killing them himself to be against his immediate goals and would make him synonymous with the supposedly evil nature of humanity that the PER preaches about, something he would not want.

You should like the next chapter, as it will mainly focus on what is going on with Batman as well as other figures who will become important soon.

You should bring other villans to help Joker. It would be interesting to see Bane meet Celestia and the Elements.

Ohohohohoho! Things are going to be quite interesting, wonder if dear old discord will see our lovable psychopath in this story?

Hmm so are you going to bring any other DC villians/heros/or possible mercs in this or is it just Batman villains we're waiting for? Just curious.

You have my interest well done! :heart: Haven't read a good TCB in two years.

So this is not about Jeff Moreau bombing Celestia with the Normandy SR-2...

I NEED MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

holy shit this is good keep it up

Normally, I hate standard TCB stories with a passion (Chatoyance being one of the reasons), but this one looks interesting. I'll be looking forward to more.

Hmmm. The bus, smoke grenade in the mouth, shotgun by guy coming out if his office... you know what I'll just stop there, but good job changing a bit of that part so far. I saw what you did there. :trixieshiftright:

Hmm, I quite like this set up of conversion bureau. Much more realistic and believable on just about every front, Celestia isn't some crazy mad-pony with misguided terrorist attacks from extremists dragging more powerful bodies into conflict, the Ponies haven't gone on some crazy campaign of conversion, and the humans hit back rather effectively and don't look incompetent.

Ehh, and there goes my good mood, this is was too cut and paste of the intro to dark knight so far. I'll be watching but no faves yet.

Wait a sec...

Is... he gonna turn himself into a pony, got to Equestria, and wreck all of Celestia's shit?

Dear Zach.

Oh...oh...ooooooooh. Oh dahling, I haven't been pulled in by a primes like this in years! Now considering that it's about 1 am in my neck of the woods, I won't be reading this fic right now. But expect to hear from me soon.

Sincerely Yours, The Cake Devil.

I'm hoping that Batman and Joker might join forces to get rid of this problem....And I desperately wish that Joker wins this battle.

Pony Bruce Wayne actually disgusts me.

look I'm a huge fan of ponies but I personally hope the Joker makes them burn

The Elements are gonna die.

I still stand by my statement I'm afraid Celestia it is way too late

This seems like an interesting enough story, but does it take place solely in the movie universe or will we be seeing some other DC characters show up?

That bitch Celestia will regret this

I don't want to imagine what the Joker is going to do to the Elements Bearers. But I know that it wont be pretty at all.

so no xenolestia? ...

im conflicted

i dont know who to hate

Don't you dare deny us any of these scenes.:flutterrage:

But in all seriousness, please take my fav and my attention. And please no more DC characters unless their from the Nolan films, anyone else would just ruin the fun.:pinkiecrazy:

Basically, what you're saying is that you don't want original TCB stories that do something new and innovative and instead have stories that rehash the same formula over and over again.

Because that's going to ruin the fad's reputation. You know that, right?

5416808
I think its because the Ponies haven't won and Chatty bitched about it somewhere.

5416847

TCB is the worst fad ever. Simple as that. Even the original story got mass downvotes when it came to FimFiction.

Huh. I always figured the potions were a liquid, not a gas. Story looks good, and it's got me thinking on things I could write. Problem is, I'd never really be able to write a good Conversion Bureau story with what I specialize in. XP
Going to keep reading now.

5410123 This describes how I feel about the ponies in this story so well on... Lessee...
*Nine hours later*
Yeah, over 9000 levels.

You have NO IDEA HOW BADLY I want to just take a MAC...
...And bombard Equestria.
You have NO IDEA HOW TICKED I am at the ponies...
...I'd even glass them if I could.
For now, I'll settle on waiting to see what The Joker does.

5418174 You could even use the Composer on them to make Pony-Prometheans. It would be fun to have an army of them to do whatever you want.

I can imagine a converted Batman but all he says is Swear to Me, Where's Rachel, and Harvey Dent, can he be trusted?:rainbowlaugh:

Oh! Oh! I have a theory (It could be bunnies!)! The Joker is going to reverse-engineer the potion to turn ponies to humans, first give it to Bruce Wayne, and then all ponies, then demolish the human turn pony factories!!!!!!!!

5411764

My gut is the Joker is the person to hate. Yes the Ponys are screwed but they had no idea of who they pissed off. I feel that when they find out about the Joker they are going to realize just how bad the "bombing" in Gotham was and how lucky they got out of their first encounter with the Joker. That will be one scary letter to the Princess when they find out! With the Joker everyone looses.

5593219 you can't really hate the joker, his character no matter how goddamn evil is always delivered in the most epic sort of way

I am the exact opposite of a Batman fan and even I think this story is going to awesome places... can't wait for new chapters, how far along is the next one?
