Danny Phantom × DC

Danny Phantom × DC, commonly known as DP×DC, is a crossover fandom between Danny Phantom and DC Comics, specifically Batfamily.
There was a first wave during the time the Danny Phantom series aired (2004 - 2007), mostly crossover with Teen Titans and Young Justice series.
A second wave started around 2021, coinciding with a renaissance era of the Danny Phantom fandom, and shortly after the Maribat crossover and White Collar passed their peak.

The first few DC x DP fics published on AO3 were scattered across several years starting 2013 and were mostly one shots or part of larger crossover collections.Wayback Machine A slight uptick in fics appears to have begun in 2018 and the fandom steadily grew from there until 2022. The vast majority of DC x DP fics on AO3 are dated as being posted during or after 2022 as the fandom expanded very quickly.Wayback Machine
==Fanon and tropes==
*Adoption Fic
*Danny Fenton and Damian Wayne are twins, in some of these AUs Danny's name is revealed to actually be Danyal al Ghul.
*Floating Red Duck Candle - a red, duck shaped candle from the fic If You Give A Bat a Burger that has become "a symbol of hope and finding the good words for writing." There is an AO3 collection of fics that reference this icon.
*Ghost King Danny Fenton, also a common trope in the Danny Phantom fandom proper, these AUs see Danny becoming king after his defeat of the previous ruler.
*Jason Todd is a "halfa" or otherwise has ghostly/'liminal' abilities as a result of his death and resurrection. Other members of the batfamily are also sometimes included but Jason is by far the most common.
*The Lazarus Pits are corrupted ectoplasm.
*Little Baby Man - a Danny Phantom AU created by tourettesdog on tumblr, this creature has found it's way into DPxDC lore.
*Physical De-aging is fairly common and is often a ghostly trauma response or the result of unethical experimentation.
*Psychologist/Psychology Student Jazz Fenton, it is not uncommon for her to be studying Psychology or a similar degree. As an adult she is sometimes portrayed working at Arkham Asylum or elsewhere in that field.
*Runaway AUs are a common setup for crossovers, with Danny and/or other characters running away to Gotham for safety
*Summoning Circles make somewhat frequent appearances with cult members or heroes attempting to summon a ghost or the ghost king and Danny coming through.
