Batman: Prologue

This is Bruce Wayne’s first few months as Batman, where he was just dubbed ‘The Bat’ by the press because he wore dark clothes, dark goggles, and some high tech gauntlets he made his cave

 

Bruce was perched on a gargoyle one night and saw two thieves, entering a science lab, the two thieves unbeknownst to Bruce were Nora and Victor fries. Nora had a shaved head and was wearing a sleeveless white tee. Victor was wearing a light blue tactical vest. Nora fries was Victor’s wife and she had stage four cancer. Victor used to work at the science lab, but was fired for being unstable after his wife was diagnosed he snuck back in with his wife to try to get the research to cure her using liquid nitrogen and slowly freeze away the cancer bits. Bruce snuck in the back by lock picking his way in. He saw the man scuffling to try and grab some research papers but Bruce told him to put them down and he would call the cops. The man suddenly tried to grab the papers and run away but Bruce tackled him. Then he felt the cold barrel of a gun up against his head. It was the wife of the icy haired man, Bruce quickly turned around and kicked her back but she was kicked into the cryogenic tube. Suddenly the tube closed and locked and the woman started screaming asking Bruce to help her out but it was too late. The door was locked and cold icy air started to fill the tube. The man in tears and desperation took the gun that Nora had dropped on the ground when she had been kicked back and took the bottom of it and knocked Bruce out cold. The man tried to shoot the glass, but it would not break the man then went outside to Hotwire a truck, and wheel his wife in the test tube into the truck and drove away, crying in tears.

 

A few weeks later, Bruce had heard of a group, called the red hood gang that was planning to rob a card factory, and steal the money that all the rich casinos had paid for the playing cards for the gambling rings. Bruce was across the street in a motel, waiting for the gang to show up as soon as they showed up and took the wire cutters to cut the chance of the door. He’s slowly snuck out the window of his room and went down the fire escape and snuck his way in after them. He then slowly tried to pick them off one by one, until one of them noticed He then went up behind the leader, and put him in a headlock, saying he’d snap his neck (a bluff, of course) but the leader elbowed him in the gut, and he lost his grip. The men started frantically to shoot at him. He hid behind one of the vets of chemicals, and took a smoke grenade out of his bag and threw it at the ground by their feet he quickly incapacitated them, until only the leader was left the leader ran up a flight of stairs to the walkway above the vats of chemicals but Bruce appeared on the other side, and the men tend to run, but slipped and fell over the railing. Bruce tried to grab him, but was too late. The man fell into the chemicals, gargling the acidic compound as he slowly drowned.

 

A few more weeks go by and a riddle is left, directed to him at a crime scene. But the police didn’t like the bat at this point. So he snuck in the crime scene and took a picture of the riddle. He quickly deciphered it but he wanted to try and figure out this criminals endgame before it was too late, so he went to Arkham asylum to interrogate Jonathan Crane a once psychiatrist of Arkham asylum, turned psychotic and used to roam the streets as a sort of fear monger, a witch doctor, a scarecrow of sorts. Crane was the first crime that Bruce had sold when he went by the alias matches Malone, and threw on a pair of fake sideburns and a raggedy old jacket. He asked crane what he thought this Riddler’s intentions were. But crane just laughed at him and told him it’s all about fear he wants to be feared, and respected as someone capable of destroying the bat.
