Blueblood is the Prince of Canterlot, the richest pony in town, and maybe in all of Equestria, and the most eligible bachelor. However, despite how sociable he is, and despite the appearance he wants to give, he is still, despite the years that have passed, devastated by the death of his parents. He still remembered the pony who did it, who didn't hesitate for a moment to kill them with him in front.
After the killer's death, Blueblood turned his hatred on the criminals, deciding to travel the world to better understand them and fight them. After several years of training, and allying himself with some ponies like Fancy Pants, the Canterlot prosecutor, and Time Hooves, who will help him with his team, he will begin his crusade against crime.
The criminals fear neither Celestia nor Luna, and have preyed on the weak at will, devouring the city of Canterlot like a feast, instilling fear and terror into the citizens under cover of darkness. Now, he will be in charge of turning the shadows and himself against him, if they do not fear the princesses, they will fear the figure that will walk the streets... the dark knight... Batmane.
We already have a sequel! Look here.
Hey! Surely you have already noticed, but this story has a cover now, courtesy of my good friend Bolo Joestar, and maybe in the future I will do more covers for my stories. Take a look at her account, she uploads drawings of Shantae, among many others (one of them is an image of the cutie mark crusaders with the armor of the super cute zodiac knights ). He is a great artist give him lots of love and magic of friendship.
A good introduction, also a good choice for the Batmane/Batman in this universe. Blueblood's personality in public can be perfectly explained as a mask he wears, when he isn't being who he really is/will become, the Batmane. It seems you're going with the random mugger classic origin, rather than it being a deliberate hitman/conspiracy to kill the Bloods. Which is probably for the better, don't want to weigh your story down too heavily with a plotline you'll have to focus on fleshing out and satisfying long-time readers.
Is this based off of A Dark Knight Over Trottingham?

Honestly, I didn't even know it existed. If anything, I was inspired by an author, I don't remember the name and I don't know if he wrote his story in English, because I read it in Spanish, who made a fanfic where he made a crossover between The Flash series and mlp and put Blueblood like Arrow.
11179896
Yes, it is a good choice, although I did a lot of thinking, since I originally wanted a mare to be able to call her Batmare, but Blueblood fit like a glove. Billionaire, he hasn't shown himself to his parents and his attitude can be explained with a few tweaks. And as for its origin, yes, making it a conspiracy, as good as the idea is, makes it too complicated and takes away some of the essence of 'they died because of the city'.
11180243
I think it's a good choice not to do a Batmare, there's quite an abundance of female heroine stories on the site already. Mare-Do-Well in particular as a stand in for Batman. Blueblood as you have pointed out, fits this role like a glove with only a little bit of tweaking. The mugger being a random nobody also works as a symptom of the city's problems.
11180488
Totally agree with the heroines, although I admit that I may fall into that too. Not spoiler .
Did you take some part from Batman Begins?
Well I wasn't expecting such a big time skip, but you did address Blueblood's attitude towards Rarity really well in this chapter. Though he doesn't seem to be a hero/Batmane all the time just yet. I imagine some of his past will be revisited in flashback segments or chapters. Blueblood's interactions overall were good. His anger at his parent's murderer getting out is completly understandable.
11180819
In part, this story will take something from the movie, a lot related to its origin, but as it progresses I will move further away from the movie.
11180847
Luckily I did the Rarity thing right, it was what I most doubted I had done wrong.
Go Blood
Should be "Where are we going?"
ANother good chapter, I like the slow-burn you have going for Blueblood and building a good story. Establishing the state of this version of Canterlot and why it needs something drastic to shake things up and enact change.
Is this just the Batman begins story or this going to be actually different?
11181939
Corrected, thank you very much.
Yes, it has to be slow, especially to explain why Celestia isn't doing anything in town and build the character. I'm glad you likes it .
11182032
At the moment it will focus on his origin story, I estimate that in three or four more chapters we will begin to see Batmane himself.
11182381
Well ok thing is.
Not sure I want to read a copy version of those movies, they were great movies and all.
but i already know what happens, if it going to be just the entire trilogy only in MLP characters then yawwnnnn.
If it going to be a mix ok that sounds interesting.
Which is it, a copy word per word or some original stuff?
11182412
I must admit that the first few chapters are heavily influenced by Nolan's movies, but when you get to the in-between part, more differences will appear. Let's say that there will be a mixture with things from Batman Begins and Batman year one and, little by little, it will be separating more and more from those stories and putting more original things. I don't like it and I don't want to make a copy and paste, that's why I watch the movie, but I do admit that I copied the movie a bit because I consider that the origin told there is very well managed. So don't worry, it won't be a word-for-word tracing, least of all with the My Little Pony characters involved.
Training Arc
should be 'he could see the weapons'
You used female pronouns instead of male.
Should be "Are you so desperate to fight criminals that you lock youself in with them to take them down one by one?" or "Are you so desperate to fight criminals that you lock youself in with them? Perhaps you're planning to take them down one by one?"
Should be "The world is too small for Blueblood to disappear, even if he hides in the most…" the pony looked at the dank, dark cell they were in "…degrading cell on the planet."
should be "Isn't your cutie mark a compass rose?"
"I am."
should be 'training in various forms of martial arts, fighting in pairs of two.'
This should be "I know you are a good fighter, but you have no technique and are too impulsive. Here we will polish your art and make you into a true warrior, one capable of fighting 600 opponents."
Should be "Yes there have been warriors capable of such feats. But knowing how to fight is not enough to fight crime, as I told you at the time, you need to be more than a pony to your enemy"
Besides the suggested corrections ^ I see you're going with the League of Shadows to train him. Batman has famously trained with them in several continuities so it makes sense. I would recommend slowing the pace here, focus at least two or three chapters on training with the League, building relationships with Ra's and other members of the League.
Edit: Also happy to help. I am liking the story that is starting to take shape so far.
11183062
Corrections made, I'm sorry there are so many, but I'm Spanish and I'm using a translator and my basic levels of English to correct, sometimes it's not enough or I miss little things like pronouns.
The League thing, well, you'll see it with the next chapters, but I don't know if I'll be up to generating a good connection with other members. I'll do my best.
PS: glad to receive the help.
It's time for the bat to begin
Look like Luna is this Bat Jim Gorden
11183075
your not the only one who uses a translator. :3
it's an ok story so far.
Overuse of sighing here and the word weary, text comes off as very repetitive and you had him call the alarm clock a watch.
- Edited and changed up.

- Quite a few bits to tweak here.
Sorry this is as far as I could get. There's still lots of fixes and spelling errors and I don't have the time or energy to keep finding them. I suggest trying to look for an editor. I'm going to have to drop the story for now, it's just very hard for me to keep reading.
11190667
Corrected, once again, thanks from the bottom of my heart, I'll try to find a publisher. And don't worry, nothing happens, it's not a job and you're not obligated to do anything, you've already done enough and it's something I appreciate .
11190530
Thanks! I'm glad you like it , and I'm also glad I'm not the only one here using a translator .
11190261
For a while I was thinking about doing a separate Gordon, but Luna fits the role well and allows me to do interesting things , what do you think?
Good couple of chapters but there is a lot of missed used words regarding ponies.
11190895
Sorry, I'm a native Spanish speaker, so I can make these mistakes . Can you tell me in what words? If possible, thank you.
and the joker have been born
now Luna will have to think about what Celestia said to her
Please don't tell me Fancy going to be Two-face
I'm loving this. Even if I wanted to take a break, I couldn't. You've got me hooked on this story. 👍
11192645
Thanks! I'm glad you're liking it so much and my ponified version of Batman is decent.
11192647
You're welcome!
great to see Rare and Blue keep in touch with each other
i like where this is going
let see if Rarity turn into Catwoman version of this EQ
11192891
I'm sorry to spoil your hopes, but I have something else planned for Rarity in this universe . Also, Rarity stealing? I don't see the element of generosity stealing .
11193028
yeah,that's make sense. i saw her have a crush and go full blind guess
c.tenor.com/spZTE4JchhYAAAAC/surprise-me-ratatouille.gif
Summon the bats!
Let's hope Celestia does not think about collecting his Blood DNA spill on the floor by his wound to find him
11194272
I remind you that Luna is there, and she is quite in favor of Batmane .
11194529
i bet Luna is "Curious" too
11194670
No spoilers .
Wait, why Scootaloo doesn't have her cutie mark in this version?
11195223
I said it a few chapters back, this version will have some differences from the Canon of the series. And let's just say I have some plans for my favorite filly .
I bet Celestia is real angry now.
I wonder is Scootalo cutie mark will be a 'R'.
11196143
Because what you say?
11196640
Maybe yes, or maybe not .
11196645
Nope. Because Batmane is starting to get in Celestia's mane.
11196648
He, and her sister, poor Celestia has no rest.
