Batman Year One: Part 4 "Riddle Me This"

Okay, so I know the last two issues have been short, and I’m not completely blaming the fact that I was sick and by body was sore...but that was a reason. BUT! I’m now on the road of recovery and I feel a lot better.

 

Oh and also! I’ve decided get rid of an upload schedule with these. I'm going to try my best to get them out once a day, but if I can't then I won't feel bad.

 

Also, I’m trying new ways to make it look night in my photos. What do you think of this one?

 

Context: Not giving an exact date. Just know that they happen in a linear order unless said otherwise.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

============In Wayne Tower============

 

Bruce Wayne: Wonderful meeting with you Mr. Nygma. I can see why my uncle trusts you so much.

Edward Nygma: Of course Mr. Wayne, of course! Very nice meeting you. I look forward to our future meetings.

Bruce Wayne: Now if you’ll excuse me, I have several more meetings for the day.

Edward: Yes, yes, yes! Have a nice day Mr. Wayne!

 

[Nygma enters his office and Bruce starts walking down the hall.]

 

Bruce: Alfred.

Alfred Pennyworth: Sir?

Bruce: I just got out of my meeting with Nygma, and I noticed some...interesting documents.

Alfred: And what did they entail?

Bruce: I can’t say for certain, so I left one of the drones Lucius made us.

 

============In Nygma’s Office============

 

Edward Nygma: Now that the buffoon is gone, I can get back to work planning my heist. I may be Philip Kane’s lead advisor, but my salary isn’t nearly enough to cover the cost of my plan. I can't believe it, but it seems that I’ll have to stoop low to the level of a mere burglar and steal some artifacts. Though, it should be a breeze with my intellect...I just hope that the fruits I hired to help me actually know what they’re doing.

 

 

============Later that night in the Batcave.============

 

Robin: Cmon Bruce. Let me go with you!

Batman: No. You’ve only been training for two months, you’re not ready.

Alfred: Master Grayson, I’m afraid to say that he’s right. Even though you’ve made tremendous progress I don’t think it's the best idea.

Robin: Fine.

 

[Robin begins to train and Batman goes out after Nygma]

 

Alfred: Sir I believe that the information you find out about Mr. Nygma may be true.

Batman: I’m assuming the drone has followed him to a museum?

Alfred: Indeed. He appears to be robbing Gotham’s Museum of Antiquities.

Batman: On it.

 

[Batman speeds off into the night towards the ye old museum heist.]

 

============In the museum============

 

Nygma: C'mon you incompetent fruits hurry!

Goon #1: Eh what's the hurry boss?

Goon #2: Yeah. You already disabled the alarm systems.

Nygma: Yes I did, but there is a miniscule chance that we’ll still be caught. So, do as I - THE RIDDLER - commands!

 

[The Riddler hits Goon #2 over the head with his cane.]

 

Goon #2: Ow! Okay boss I’m on it! I’m on it!

Goon #1: Yeah boss! I’m hurryin’!

Riddler: These artifacts will provide me with enough funds to-

 

[The overhead skylight smashes open and Batman lands on Goon #2]

 

Goon #2: Ugh…

Batman: I don’t care who you are, but this ends now.

Riddler: Don’t care! Don’t care!? I am the Riddler! The smartest criminal ali-

 

[Batman Punches Riddler in the face.]

 

Riddler: Argh...good punch. You two! Load The Van!

Goon #3 and #4: Sir yes sir!

Riddler: You three! Stop The Batman!

Goon #1, #2, and #5: With pleasure!

 

[The Goonsl begin attacking Batman and Riddler runs away.]

 

Riddler: Are the items ready?

Goon #4: Almost sir.

Riddler: You best hurry, Batman will take care of those clowns soon enough!

Goon #3: Alright boss we’re ready.

Riddler: Good! Now drive!

 

[Riddler and his remaining goons hop in the big white van and drive away, with Batman arriving too late to stop the van.]

 

Batman: Damn. Alfred get the Batmobile to my location.

Alfred: On its way sir.

 

[The Batmobile arrives and Bruce jumps in.]

 

============In Riddler’s van============

 

Riddler: Drive faster you dunce! Batman could be on his way to catch us.

Goon #4: You’re not scared are you boss?

Riddler: Riddle me this. Who is the logical mastermind that is your EMPLOYER and took all precautions?

Goon#3: Oh yeah genius? Then how did he find us!?

Riddler: How dare you! You think that I wou-

 

[The Batmobile smashes into the side of Riddler’s van, causing to run off the side of the road crashing.]

 

Riddler: NOT AGAIN!

Goon #3: Boss you okayyyyy?

 

[The hook of Batman’s grapple gun closes on Goon #3’s arm and pulls him out of the van.]

 

Goon #4: LARRY!

Riddler: I swear you no good henchmen aren’t good for anything.

 

[The van doors open and Batman yanks Goon #4 and Riddler out of the van.]

 

Batman: You cannot escape my vengeance!

 

[Batman punches Riddler in the face several times, but is interrupted by the sound of police sirens.]

 

Gordon: Batman! Put your hands in the air, and get down...slowly...there’s nowhere to go this time!

Batman: Sorry officer, but I have other business to attend to.

 

[Batman throws down a smoke bomb]

 

Riddler: Agh! How! It isn’t possible! I’m the smartest man alive! I predicted every outcome!

 

[Gordon puts Riddler in cuffs]

 

Gordon: Shut up!

 

============The next Day on The News============

 

Vicki Vale: This just in. A masked criminal going by the name of The Riddler has been arrested, and a statement has been released by Officer James Gordon. “Edward Nygma was apprehended last night by the Gotham City Police Department. Gotham can sleep a little bit safer tonight with this clown behind Bars...”

 

============In Arkham Asylum============

Riddler: CLOWN!? They call me a clown! How dare they not take me seriously. Oh I’ll show them...I’ll show them all…

Zodiac Master: You okay buddy?

Riddler: Who the hell are you!?

 

[The Riddler will return?]

 

============In an apartment in Gotham============

???: Clown? They call HIM a CLOWN? *hehe* Oh that’s hilarious! *hehe* They haven’t seen a clown yet! hahahHAhahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

 

----------------------------------------------------

There we go! I know that this wasn’t the most amazing Riddler Introduction, but I would like to save “Him taking over the city” plot for a later date. Let me know what you thought down below! Also, I decided to give this issue a tad bit more background information. Originally, I was going to start off in the Batcave, but I figured I should add more. This would go against my original plans for this series but, PLANS CHANGE! Tell me what you think down below, and I hope you tune in next for “Agent Cougar: Iceberg adventures”!
