The stars shined dimly and the winds were breezing heavily, it would seem that Gotham city was calm for once, but who ever came up with that was wrong.
""Hurry up with that cash we don't need any feds 'commin over here!" One thug yelled to the other as they rushed down the alley way.
One man behind them had been badly beaten, covered in a pool of his own blood and soaked in dirty sewage water. The noise of sirens could be heard around the area, it had seemed a local had heard the altercation and called the authorities.
The two criminals rushed out of the alleyway, running towards the heart of the streets, civilians peeped out from their balconies looking in terror of what these two men have done. Police cruisers raced down the street gaining more and more speed every moment, they were on their tails and they knew it.
"$-$#!" A hoodlum yelled
The two turned the corner of a street into a dark corner hiding, it was too dark for anyone to see them in there so the vehicles drove right past them.
"Thank god, that was close." One thug whispered to the other.
The two ruffians then counted the money, it seemed to be a couple of bills around 100,000 dollars.
"We hit the jackpot now man" One man told the next in joyfulness as he split the money into two equal shares.
Then suddenly as the two men placed the money in their bags, a strange sound occurred.
"What was that?" The two asked each other in freight.
A dark figure arose, all that could really be seen was his eyes. He began walking towards the two thugs. One of the hoodlums threw a trashcan at the figure hoping it would leave them alone. It didn't work whoever it was or whatever it was still walking towards them. The shape began getting closer and closer.
"AHHHHHH!" The two thugs screamed in pain and terror.
"I understand that the authorities would have placed you in prison like the scums you are...But scums don't deserve second chances, scums are bacteria that need to be cleaned from the soul of this city, consider this a warning." said the shadow turning out to be a man in a bat themed outfit.
"Who are you!" One of the men said
The two of them were bloodied up and one was unconscious.
"I'm Batman" Batman said walking backwards towards the shadows and disappearing.
Wayne Manor, Outsirks of Gotham
Billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne runs outside his manor trying to increase his stamina, it would be his 50th lap around his mansion he knew he needed to be ready the next time he went out of patrol. He then stopped running as Alfred his butler came outside with lemonade bringing it to Bruce.
"Here you go Master Wayne." Alfred said to Bruce giving him the lemonade on a plate holder.
"Thank you Alfred, have you scanned the paper work?" Bruce asked
"Yes Master Wayne" Alfred replied placing the paper in his hand.
"Very good Alfred." Bruce said looking at the paper in pleasure.
Alfred then walked back into the mansion with the plate holder to go do other house work. Bruce t sipped his lemonade looking at the piece of paper, it seemed that the mayor wanted to move Wayne Enterprises towards another area for another company named Z.I.N.C. Bruce clenched his fist in rage crushing the paper and afterwards ripping it. He then walked towards his tree sending a kick to it and breaking it afterwards.
"Why would they do this Wayne Enterprises basically shaped Gotham" Bruce thought to himself.
He walked back into the manor heading to the bat cave. Walking down the stairs through the bat cave he glared at his costume in a glass cabinet, his reflection stared back at him so put on the costume the mask of the cowl hanging on the back of his neck, he sat on the bat computer chair, scanning for the mayors office.
"I still don't get it Wayne Enterprises has been doing so much work for Gotham and has helped the city, why would the mayor want it removed from it?" Bruce thought to himself rubbing his chin. He then targeted the area of the mayor's office, placing his mask on his face and heading out to Gotham.
MAYOR'S OFFICE
"Who or what do you think this 'Batman' character is?" The Mayor asked the Police Commissioner Gordon and Detective Harvey Bullock.
"It could be anyone that's what gives me the creeps about it" Harvey Bullock replied
"Detective Bullock is right it could be anyone in the city" Commissioner Gordon added in.
"I have had one interaction with him back a few months ago, but other than that I don't know anything about him"
Instantly, out of the darkness Batman appears walking in front of the three men.
"It doesn't matter who's underneath, but I'll give you a hint, it's skin.." Batman told the three men
"But I'm here to ask you what is Z.I.N.C?"
"T-that's confidential...!" The Mayor yelled in fear.
Detective Bullock then raced up a pistol aiming his sights to Batman, Commissioner Gordon follows hesitantly.
"Lower your weapons I am not your enemy I'm just here for the same reason you are." Batman told the man slowly reaching for his utility belt.
"NO! Get him!" The Mayor screamed in anguish.
Gordon and Bullock pressed the trigger of their pistols sending a hail of bullets towards Batman, but in seconds Batman rushed through the shadows. He then through a batarang at Gordon's hand sending the weapon out of his grasp and glides towards him sending a punch to the temple knocking him out. Afterwards he follows with a kick to Harvey Bullock sending him flying towards the wall knocked out aswell. Batman then payed his attentions to the Mayor gripping him by the shirt collar and jerking his body back breaking the window and holding him at the edge of it.
"Are you going to tell me now?" Batman asked in his raspy voice, jerking him around like a rag
doll.
"Y-Y-Yes, it's a company made by Drew Parkson, that millionaire from Hub City that moved to Gotham! Please don't hurt me!"
"That's all I needed to know..." Batman said throwing the man over his head and sending him back into the room's wall head first. He then glided through the window without looking back heading over to Parkson's Skyscraper Condo.
PARKSON'S CONDO
Parkson sits at his desk as he's looking at paper work, Batman tabruptly crashes into his window sending a kick to his back and sending him to the floor with his desk.
"I know what you did in Hub City, and I won't allow you to do it here at Gotham!" Batman yelled at the man sending kick to his cranium.
"Hehe, so your the one they call Batman." Parkson got up looking at Batman, he then placed his hand on his face wiping of Batman's boot print. He then swiftly took out his pistol aiming his sights on Batman.
'It seems you found out what I did back in Hub City, but that idiot reporter couldn't stop me what makes you any different?" Parkson claimed.
Parkson pulled the trigger and the bullet hits Batman sending him out the window falling.
"Sorry, but Gotham is my city now" Parkson said smirking.
