Description:

For want of a nail the shoe was lost,
for want of a shoe the horse was lost,
for want of a horse the knight was lost,
for want of a knight the battle was lost.
So it was a kingdom was lost – all for want of a nail.

Notes:




There is a Justice League comic mini-series first published in the late 90s titled "The Nail". The premise is that a nail caused a flat tire on the Kent's truck that fateful day, which in turn ended up with someone else finding the crashed ship in the field, which led to Kal-El being raised by someone else, which meant No Superman.

This series will explore various AUs across the DC & Marvel Universes where things ended up different. I have a few of them on the go and posting will be sporadic. If you would like to make a suggestion, I'm always open to them though I may not actually write them. If it tickles my fancy, I'll see where it takes me.

NAIL NUMBER ONE: If Batman retired when Bruce Wayne adopted Dick Grayson
NAIL NUMBER TWO: If Nightwing took Batman's order to get out after Jason's death further than anyone could have imagined.
