Gotham city a year before the justice would be revealed and form to defeat darkseid is a crime induced cesspool, full of criminals, monster and the most horrendous scum of the world. As two criminals are attacking a child for his fish a man in a bat shaped cowl comes in riding on a dirt bike and easily deals with the criminals.
The man then picks up the fish and hands it to the kid
"I think you dropped this".
he accepts the fish and only replies with
"Thanks"
The man looks at the distance city and contemplates his choices of what brought him here.
"Everyone thinks you're dead, you know?"
The man smirks
"I know, which means they won't see me coming."
But what brought bruce wayne to this point and how did it begin?
(Bgm devil's don't cry - devil may cry 3 ost)
One month ago bruce wayne disguised as a curly red haired man sits in the driver section of a truck filled with hostages and in front of him is the red hood and his entire gang. The red hood gang has occupied most of gotham since bruce wayne left to continue his training meaning they has access to all resources gotham has, money, food, medicine, even the police won't help because either they got paid off or they're afraid of the red hood.
Bruce stares at red hood while red hood stares back at bruce with an gleeful hood spread out his arm.
"Well mr vigilante you have me now, but are you really going to leave those poor helpless civilians to stop me?"
Bruce know that red hood is mocking him, but he also knows he right. If he doesn't stop the truck which is being pulled into the sea by a weighted spring than everyone in that truck will die. Bruce's communicator came on and alfred's voice came through
"Sir you need to think about what to do"
"I know."bruce replied
Bruce then pull out a grappling hook out of his bag and aimed it at the red hood's truck
"The line can't hold the weight of that truck"
"It'll hold alfred"
Bruce fired the hook and line did hold long enough for bruce to climb out of the truck
And climb to the back door and open it so that everyone lands in the water along with bruce.
A second later bruce emerges from the water with the other hostages and see in the far off distance red hood waving goodbye with a childish smirk on his mouth and bruce's first instinct was to flip him off
This chapter was based on batman zero year and i realized that gotham zero year should of been the title of the series
