Batman: The Next Generation

The New Batman

This fan fic is about Bruce Wayne's grandson and how he becomes the new and improved Batman. His name is Matt Grayson; he is the son of Adam and Tammy Grayson. Adam is the son of Dick Grayson and Tammy is the daughter of Bruce Wayne. Kind of corny I know it gets worse. Matt's girlfriend is Sarah Gordon who is the granddaughter of Barbara Gordon. I don't own any characters from a TV show or movie, just my created characters.

Gotham City has been quiet for since Bruce retired his Batman persona. A few trouble makers still lurk in the shadows. Things start to take a turn for the worse one day and Batman is needed again. Please read and review.

Chapter 1: Life as Matt Knows it

Matt Grayson is your typical twenty one year old expect his family is filthy rich. Matt is riding in his Ford Mustang with the top down, his jet black hair being whipped back by the wind. His best friend Chris Lupicano is sitting next to him. Everyone calls him CJ because his middle name is Joseph.

"What's wrong CJ?" Matt asked him.

"I'm twenty one and already going bald." CJ explained.

"Don't' sweat it; having hair is a big pain anyway." Matt chuckled.

"Not to mention I'm short and fat." CJ then said.

"You forgot to say that your family is rich." Matt then chimed in.

"That's true." CJ smiled.

"How did your family become so rich anyway?" Matt then asked.

"Something to do with my great grandfather." CJ told him.

"I think my granddad knows your great granddad." Matt then said.

"They're probably around the same age." CJ stated.

"That's what I'm saying, they probably know each other." Matt then said.

They hear sirens and see police lights flashing. Matt pulls over.

"Is there a problem officer?" Matt asked as the cop was at the driver's side window.

"You were doing sixty miles per hour in a forty mile per hour zone." The cop told him.

"I'm sorry about that." Matt commented.

"License and registration, please." The cop told him.

"Matt, I got this." CJ told him.

"CJ, what are you doing?" Matt asked.

"Officer, can I speak to you for a few moments." CJ said.

"What is this about?" The cop asked as he approached CJ's side of the car.

"I just wanted to shake the hand of a man working hard to keep our streets safe." CJ said as he stuck out his hand.

The cop shakes CJ's hand. Unknown to Matt, CJ has five hundred dollars in his hand and passes it off to the cop as they shake hands. The cop nods his head in agreement. He walks back to Matt's side.

"I'm going to let you off with a warning this time." The cop told him as he handed back Matt back his driver's license and registration.

"Thank you." Matt said confused.

"You both have a nice day now." The cop said as he walked back to his car.

"What was that all about?" Matt asked CJ.

"I have no idea." CJ shrugged.

"That was weird." Matt commented as they drove off.

Matt drops CJ off at his house. Matt drives back to his own house.

"I'm home guys." Matt said as he walked through the front door.

"How was your drive Sweetie?" Tammy sweetly asked.

"It was okay and kind of weird." Matt replied.

"How was it weird?" Adam then asked.

"I was pulled over and the cop let me go with a warning after speaking with CJ." Matt explained.

"Why were you pulled over?" Adam then asked.

"I was speeding." Matt sheepishly answered.

"How fast were you going?" Adam then asked.

"I was doing sixty in a forty." Matt replied.

"Matt, you're lucky CJ talked that cop out of giving you a ticket." Adam told him.

"All CJ did was shake his hand." Matt explained.

"CJ is a fast talker. I swear that boy should be a lawyer." Tammy smiled.

"He's a fast talker just like his father. I don't like that Vinny Lupicano; something about him makes me suspicious of him." Adam added.

I know it's short. Read and review and I'll post the next chapter. I'll post the next chapter after two reviews.
