actually thinking about it in the terror tma au Worst Ending where everyone goes full avatar desolation fitzjames makes more sense than slaughter because he would have to throw everything away and sacrifice his entire life's work up until this point to throw his lot in with an entity, which is way more desolation aligned. also it'd be thematically appropriate that he burns so bright that no one can even get too close to him anymore for fear of being immolated by his presence.

A silent, unintimidating winter chill lies over the Silverglade village.
The rising sun warms up the snow-covered roofs one after the other, and the meltwater dripping off their edges slowly forms icicles that reach toward the ground like outstretched, yearning hands. Occasionally, too heavy to bear its own weight anymore, one will break off, tumbling towards the ground and shattering on someone’s snow-covered wooden front porch or the grass outside their house.
At the edge of the village, by a small cluster of trees, a drop of water falls from a roof and lands on the crown of your head, extraordinarily cold even in the midwinter air. Shuddering, you lean back against the sun-warmed, red wall behind you, tilting your head back to bask in the bright midday sun; your horse, next to you, snorts and buffs its muzzle against your arm, and you reach up to scratch under its chin. It puffs out a breath, forming a small cloud of mist that turns a warm, golden shade as the sunlight hits it, and then it pulls back and raises its head, muscles freezing up, eyes widening, and ears pointing sharply in all directions.
Something is wrong.
There is a loud crack, as if the surface of Earth itself were being torn open, and an ear-splitting scream, followed then by crack upon crack and scream upon scream as the village lights up in pinks and purples and the sky darkens. The village plaza turns in mere seconds from a peaceful, quiet place into what is best described as a nightmare: the ground, indeed, is opening up, cobblestones rising like small mountain ranges and giving way to a blinding pink light that seems to reach all the way into the suddenly clouded sky. Many are closing their curtains and blinds, some staying at the window and carefully peeking outside; others are attempting to run from the plaza, instead taking to the streets and alleys of the village, only to be met with more of the horror they escaped. It does not take long for the shadows, large as a horse and with two glowing, almost eye-like red dots at the centre of their shapeless bodies, to begin pouring out of the village’s open wounds, wandering around as if in search for something. There is no longer so much as a single curious eye peeking out between a pair of curtains.
Something dark, glinting with red, rushes past you where you sit pressed against the blood-red wall. Determination pushes aside the dread threatening to pour over you, and with your heart still in your throat, adrenaline pulsing through your veins, and something immensely powerful crackling and sparking in the palm of your right hand, you mount your horse and gallop towards the village plaza.

I don't think there have been enough horror Batman fics. You're telling me that with a city so gothic and old, with a long history (depending on your canon) of murder n shit isn't deeply haunted? That with all the metas and undead, there's no supernatural entities lurking in the shadow?
I love Batman comics like Batman: Creature of the Night (by Kurt Busiek, John Paul Leon) that just make it creepy and spooOoky.
Give me the haunted Wayne Manor. Give me monsters that are starving in the shadows. Give me gore and horror and trauma and-
