DC au where instead of dying, the Waynes went hopelessly bankrupt and Bruce fell into poverty as a kid. He grew up with loving parents but they had no money, and no job would take a young boy, so Bruce started picking pockets. He slowly worked his way up to more extravagant robberies. All until one fated night one of his robberies is stopped by the mysterious and stoic Catwoman, the woman who swore to protect Gotham from crime after her brother was shot and killed by a robber.
