Batman used to be one of the most noble heroes in the world. Sadly Gotham's best protector became the city's most dangerous enemy. For years Batman thought he didn't need any help protecting the world. He especially had distrust for the super heroes that had super powers, because he feared that they could take over the world if they ever became evil. After Superman and a few other Justice League members became temporarily brainwashed by Lex Luthor Batman gave up his trust and respect for the Justice League. Batman spent the next year secretly making high tech weapons to get rid of the Justice League. He even released every single criminal from Arkham Asylum that didn't have super powers to help him get rid of the Justice League. Batman took away the Justice League's super powers and had them sent to a prison that's guarded by thousands of henchmen.
Batman's sidekicks questioned Batman's choices so he had Robin and Batgirl locked up and he sent Alfred and Commissioner Gordon to a retirement center. The world became scared of Batman. Various groups of people tried to get rid of Batman so Batman decided to end his rivalry with the Joker and team up with him. The 2 of them became the world's most dangerous crime duo. Batman does all this, because he thinks he's the only super hero who can truly protect the world. Despite how awesome Batman is his trust in other super heroes was as small as the Atom.
Batman looked at Gotham. The criminals he released made the city look like a chaotic mess. Batman said "Deep down I know I did the right thing. I'm the world's only super hero and I will protect it forever."
For a whole year there were no super powered heroes to protect the world. There were no super hero teams at all. It was time for a new super hero team.
There was a new police commissioner named Adam Bale. Commissioner Bale set up a meeting with Jason Danny who is a new super hero named Super Flyer. Super Flyer was a 24 year old guy who has black hair and wears a black costume and has a blue cape. He was the only super hero left who could fly.
Commissioner Bale said "Thank you for meeting Jason."
Super Flyer replied "Don't call me that. I have to protect my secret identity."
Commissioner Bale said "Anyways I'm afraid that you are Gotham's last hope. Batman is as out of control as the Joker now. The city as well as the world need a new super hero to save us."
Super Flyer asked "So you want me to save the entire world by myself? I'm flattered, but I'm no Superman."
Commissioner Bale said "The world needs more than 1 super hero. It needs a team. I need you to get any super heroes you can and be quick."
Super Flyer replied "Don't worry Mr. Bale. I will search the entire world. I will dig all around the world. I may have to go to every country in the world!"
Commissioner Bale said "Um no need for that. I called the only other 3 super heroes I could find. They'll meet you tomorrow."
Super Flyer asked "So are any of these other three super heroes more powerful than me?"
Commissioner Bale stated "That's not important right now. I have picked you to be their leader."
Super Flyer said "Then I will lead them ... into trouble." Commissioner Bale panicked. Super Flyer said "I was joking. I'll be the best super hero leader ever ... maybe."
Commissioner Bale said "Best of luck to you."
Super Flyer said "Last year Batman got rid of justice. Tomorrow I will bring it back."
The next morning Super Flyer and Commissioner Adam Bale went to a building where Super Flyer would be introduced to his new super hero team members.
Super Flyer said "I hope you picked the best of the best."
Commissioner Bale replied "I picked the only super heroes left."
Super Flyer asked "Would you call that the best of the best?"
Commissioner Bale said "Actually I would call it the only of the only. Does that make sense?"
Super Flyer said "Um yeah."
Super Flyer and Commissioner Bale went inside the building. Commissioner North said "Don't try to be too much of a wise guy. These fellow heroes are our only hope of defeating Batman."
Super Flyer said "I will try not too be critical, but sometimes I can't resist. Where are they?"
Commissioner Bale said "I figure that you should meet your new teammates 1 at a time to avoid chaos. Your first teammate is in room 5."
Super Flyer and Commissioner North went to room 5. Commissioner North pointed to Super Flyer's first teammate: Super Muscles.
Super Muscles is a 28 year old guy with impressive strength and giant muscles. He has brown hair and wears a purple costume.
Super Flyer looked at him and said "Wow. You're big. How did he got so weird looking?"
Commissioner Bale replied "He has the same venom that Bane was given. However he uses his super powers to fight villains instead of being one."
Super Flyer said "So this guy can just break stuff? Doesn't seem that helpful."
Super Muscles replied "Then give me a chance to prove myself."
Super Flyer pointed to the back door and said "That door is made of steel. Can you damage it at all?"
Super Muscles grabbed the steel door and broke it in half. Then he broke the door into even more pieces.
Commissioner Bale said "The building kind of needed that door."
Super Muscles replied "I'm sorry."
Super Flyer said "It's my fault, but that was impressive. He could probably crush Batman."
Super Muscles said "We're not going to destroy anybody right? I have a rule against doing that."
Super Flyer said "Don't worry. I do too. Nobody will get destroyed. You seem like a useful team member. So will you join the team?"
Super Muscles said "I wouldn't of come here if I didn't want to join the team."
Super Flyer said "Good point. I will meet up with you again after I meet the other 2 super heroes."
Super Muscles said "Okay."
Super Flyer and Commissioner Bale started walking to the next room. Super Flyer said "This has been really easy."
Commissioner Bale said "Well lets hope the other members aren't hard to impress."
Super Flyer and Commissioner North went to room 6. Commissioner North introduced Super Flyer to Mr. Explosives.
Mr. Explosives is a 28 year old guy who is skinny and has black hair. He wears a black sweater and blue jeans.
Super Flyer said "What's up with this guy? He doesn't dress like a super hero."
Commissioner Bale said "He may not, but he has a really useful super power."
Mr. Explosives said "Hi Super Dryer or whatever your name is. I'm Mr. Explosives."
Super Flyer said "So do you just use dynamite and other explosives to blow stuff up?"
Mr. Explosives said "Actually I don't need or use that stuff. I can blow up stuff by myself." Mr. Explosives blew up a table.
Super Flyer replied "That's impressive, but how did you do it?"
Mr. Explosives said "My hands can blow up stuff. It's awesome dude."
Super Flyer said "Well you sure seem like a useful super hero even though you don't dress like one."
Mr. Explosives replied "You shouldn't judge my fashion dude. My power is cooler than any Halloween costume super heroes like you wear."
Super Flyer asked "Do you really think my costume's lame?"
Mr. Explosives replied "I'm sorry bro. I actually think you look cool. I don't dress like that, because it's not comfortable."
Super Flyer asked "Well will you join the new super hero team?"
Mr. Explosives said "Okay. This will be fun."
Super Flyer and Commissioner Bale started walking to room 8. Commissioner Bale said "This is the last one. I hope our luck continues to work."
Super Flyer said "I know how to befriend my fellow super heroes so there's nothing to worry about."
Super Flyer and Commissioner Bale entered room 8. Commissioner Bale said "This is Ms. Detective."
Ms. Detective is a 22 year old blonde woman who wears a black tuxedo and carries around a pipe.
Super Flyer asked "So what is your super power?"
Ms. Detective said "My mind."
Super Flyer asked "What is she talking about?"
Commissioner Bale said "She is the smartest detective in the city. She's solved more crimes this year than all of the other detectives in the city combined."
Super Flyer said "But she doesn't have any real super powers."
Ms. Detective replied "Ah. Another skeptic."
Super Flyer said "How can a detective that has no super powers be a super hero?"
Ms. Detective said "Batman was a detective with no super powers."
Super Flyer replied "Best point ever. Would you like to join the team?"
Ms. Detective said "Indeed I do. These new crimes by Batman are as scary as they are intriguing. I plan on finding out why he's turned evil and how to stop him."
The 4 super heroes and Commissioner Bale met up in the building's biggest room. Commissioner Bale said "I trust you 4 super heroes and I wish you the best of luck. I need to get back to the police station. Take care of the gang Super Flyer."
Super Flyer said "I will. Lets go stop Batman."
Meanwhile the heroes were unaware that some of the people at the building were Batman's henchmen. They reported to Batman about thew new super hero team.
Batman said "Joker I need your help again."
The Joker said "Oh. I love hearing that."
Batman said "There's a new super hero team. Their super powers must be removed before they hurt anybody."
The Joker replied "I will some of my friends take care of them. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"
Batman said "After they're gone there will never be a super powered hero. Then the world will finally be safe."
The new super hero team had been brought together. Super Flyer felt like it was time to start preparing their battle with Batman. Super Flyer said "Well it's time for us to start finding Batman."
Mr. Explosives shook his head and said "1 problem before we get started."
Super Flyer asked "What's your problem?"
Mr. Explosives asked "Why are you the leader? All you can is fly. You seem like a lesser Superman to me. I can blow up anything."
Super Muscles thought about it and said "Maybe I should be the leader."
Mr. Explosives said "But I could blow up everything."
Super Muscles replied "But I can break anything."
Super Flyer said "Well Commissioner North chose me."
Super Muscles asked "Have you ever been the leader of a team?"
Super Flyer said "No."
Super Muscles replied "Well I was the leader of a team years ago."
Mr. Explosives said "You 2 dudes don't know what you're talking about. I'm the most qualified dude."
Super Flyer said "Yeah right."
Ms. Detective interrupted their fight and said "That's enough goofing around gentlemen. The world is in danger. There are way more important things to do than argue about the leadership role. Super Flyer I believe it's time we get started on saving the world."
Super Flyer said "She's right. No time for immature fights."
Super Muscles said "Okay. I'm sorry."
Mr. Explosives said "I guess you should be the leader."
Super Flyer said "Well we don't even know where Batman's hideout is. Finding that out is what we should do first."
Ms. Detective said "I figured you would want to find that information so I did some researching before I arrived here and found out where Batman is."
Ms. Detective handed the address paper to Super Flyer. Super Flyer said "That's only a few miles from here. It will only take a few minutes to get there. Um does anybody have a car?"
Super Muscles said "I kept accidentally breaking my car doors with my strength."
Mr. Explosives said "I kept accidentally blowing up my car."
Ms. Detective said "My limo's busy being repaired."
Super Flyer said "Well I could simply fly to Batman's hideout."
Super Muscles replied "You can't leave your teammates behind."
Super Flyer sighed and said "Lets walk there."
The 4 super heroes started walking to Batman's hideout.
Super Flyer said "Thankfully we are already in Gotham where Batman's hideout is."
Super Muscles replied "I heard that he's working with the Joker."
Super Flyer asked "Would Batman ever work with the Joker?"
Mr. Explosives said "It's extremely crazy, but frankly I have always considered Batman to be messed up."
Ms. Detective said "I'm detecting villains approaching."
Super Flyer said "What? We're walking around the safest part of Gotham."
The Penguin said "No part of Gotham is safe. Ha, ha!"
Super Flyer said "It's Oswald Cobblepot, the Penguin."
The Penguin said "I heard that you 4 dodos are the new super heroes."
Mr. Explosives said "Dodos? You're the only bird here."
The Penguin said "Anyways Batman and the Joker don't want any more super heroes around so you fools better leave before trouble comes your way."
Super Flyer said "There are some Batman villains that I'm afraid of, but I'm not afraid of you."
The Penguin used his umbrella to hit Super Flyer. Super Flyer said "Why does that hurt more than it should?"
The Penguin said "This is a 15 pound umbrella. It took months of exercise to be able to carry this thing around and it works great on clumsy fools like you."
Super Muscles grabbed the umbrella and broke it in half. Super Muscles said "Your strength is weak compared to mine."
The Penguin said "I have fought tough people before so try to hurt me."
Super Muscles thought about it and said "I shouldn't. It would hurt you too much."
The Penguin replied "Fight me."
Super Muscles said "Okay." Super Muscles punched the Penguin.
The Penguin said "That's the most painful punch that I've ever gotten." The Penguin ran away.
Super Flyer said "It's hard to believe that Batman sent 1 of his weakest villains to fight us."
The Riddler popped up and said "Batman sent more than just the Penguin."
Mr. Explosives said "It's the clue dude."
The Riddler said "Call me the Riddler, not clue dude."
Super Flyer asked "Are you going to give us any riddles?"
The Riddler replied "I will. If you want to know how to defeat Batman's other henchmen you will have to solve these riddles." The Riddler handed the super heroes a big pile of riddles.
Super Flyer said "Can you solve any of these Ms. Detective?"
Ms. Detective said "Indeed I can."
The super heroes and the Riddler stood around while Ms. Detective used her incredible intelligence to solve the riddles. 20 minutes later she said "I have solved all of the riddles. I wrote down the answers for you."
The Riddler said "But I gave you like 15 riddles."
Ms. Detective said "I apologize for taking so long."
Super Flyer said "Actually that was really fast. How did you solve them all?"
Ms. Detective said "Riddler's riddles were easy to solve for anyone who's properly studied the history of Batman's villains."
Super Flyer said "Well thank you for your help Riddler. Now e know how to defeat all of the villains."
The Riddler said "My attempt at defeating you helped you. I'm a failure."
Mr. Explosives said "Clue boy failed for like the 500th time."
Meanwhile Batman and the Joker were in Batman's hideout. Batman said "The Penguin reported that 1 of the super heroes destroyed his 15 pound umbrella. I don't get how that happened."
The Joker said "Well too bad for the Penguin. He's always been my least favorite bird. Ha, ha!"
Batman said "Also the Riddler hasn't reported what happened. I'm getting a little worried. I hope these new super heroes aren't very threatening."
The Joker said "Don't worry Batman. They will be easily defeated."
Batman said "Okay."
The super heroes had the clues that Ms. Detective solve to help them defeat any Batman villain that tried to fight them. They continued their walk to Batman's hideout.
Super Flyer said "You did a really good job at solving those riddles."
Ms. Detective replied "Thank you. Considering I don't have any super powers I have to be the best at finding info out."
Super Flyer said "You know a lot. You're about as smart as Batman."
Ms. Detective frowned and said "Yeah. Batman used to be my hero. When I was a kid I was always impressed by how awesome and brilliant Batman was. He never needed super powers to be so cool. That's why I became a detective. I wanted to be like Batman. Now I feel ashamed for ever liking him."
Super Flyer patted Ms. Detective on the head and said "Do you need a hug?"
Ms. Detective said "Um I'm okay."
Super Flyer felt sorry for Ms. Detective. He understood how she felt. Super Flyer said "You're not the only one who has been let down by their super hero idol. When I was a kid Superman was my favorite super hero."
Mr. Explosives said "Weak choice dude."
Super Flyer sighed and said "Anyways Superman was always cooler than me. He had my flying powers, but he could do pretty much anything. I thought that I would never be anything, but a cheap version of him. Things changed when Batman took away Superman's powers. It's hard to believe Superman now has normal strength. However what made him a real super hero wasn't his super powers."
Mr. Explosives said "His super powers technically are what make him a super hero."
Super Flyer said "Technically yes, but Superman was the nice super hero. He wanted to help anybody. He even saved Lex Luthor's life. I hope that I became as good as him."
Super Muscles said "Do you think that's possible?"
Super Flyer said "Superman taught me to believe."
Super Muscles hadn't told that many people why he chose to be a super hero and who inspired him. He felt like he should now. He said "Well while you were lucky enough to look up to a super hero I wasn't as lucky."
Super Flyer said "What do you mean?"
Super Muscles said "I was inspired by Bane."
Super Flyer said "I'm totally confused."
Super Muscles replied "Bane was a bad person. He did more damage to Batman than most of his other villains. However I realized that someone who had his strength could be a good super hero which is why I got the same venom that Bane got."
Super Flyer said "But that stuff is super dangerous."
Super Muscles replied "Well it's been super successful."
Super Flyer said "Do you have a dramatic backstory Mr. Explosives?"
Mr. Explosives said "No. I just like blowing stuff up."
Super Flyer said "Well since the people that inspired us aren't real super heroes we will be like the people that inspired us, but we will actually save the world. I used to be like Batman. I used to believe that I could save the world by myself, but I can't. I believe in all 3 of you and I think we will save the world. I believe in you, but do you believe in yourself?"
Super Muscles said "Yes."
Ms. Detective said "Me too."
Mr. Explosives said "I always believe in myself."
Super Flyer said "Then we will save the world."
Black Mask walked up to the super heroes and said "You have done a great job so far super heroes."
Super Muscles said "Who is that guy?"
Ms. Detective said "He's Black Mask, 1 of the most dangerous criminals in Gotham."
Black Mask angrily said "I'm supposed to be the most dangerous."
Mr. Explosives said "You failed at that."
Black Mask angrily said "Batman and the Joker have been hurting my business more than ever recently. I need you to help me."
Super Flyer said "But you're a criminal."
Black Mask said "Listen up kids."
Super Flyer said "I'm 26."
Black Mask said "Be quiet you teenager. Anyways I'm a rich person and I can pay you more than you could ever need to get destroy Batman and the Joker."
Super Flyer said "Exciting offer, but no. I don't destroy people."
Black Mask angrily replied "Batman and the Joker are too evil to deserve to live."
Super Muscles said "Nobody deserves to get destroyed."
Black Mask said "I hate super heroes. They have no guts."
Super Flyer replied "Well we do have the guts to capture you."
Black Mask tried to sneak away, but Super Flyer grabbed Black Mask and flew him to the police station.
Meanwhile Batman heard about Black Mask getting captured. Batman said "The super heroes I want to get rid defeated a criminal I was after. Very ironic. My enemies are helping me."
Super Flyer said "We are close to Batman's hideout."
Suddenly Bane showed up and said "I heard that 1 of you stupid super heroes has the same strength that I do."
Super Muscles said "I'm that person. Actually you're the person that inspired me."
Bane said "I'm also going to be the person that destroys you."
Super Muscles and Bane started fighting each other. The 2 of them punched each other for a few minutes. Bane said "You are stronger than I thought you were, but that doesn't mean much."
Super Muscles said "You waste your strength on evil. You could be 1 of the best super heroes."
Bane said "That would be a waste of strength."
Ms. Detective replied "This is a waste of time for Riddler's clue taught me how to cut up the tube that controls your strength." Ms. Detective broke the tube. Bane's strength was reduced to average strength.
