Batman Triumphant

by MartyEmmettMcFlyBrown

Imagine if Joel Schumacher had decided to make Batman Triumphant despite the bad reviews of Batman and Robin. As planned, Scarecrow would be the main villain with Harley Quinn being the secondary villain as the joker's daughter seeking revenge on Batman over his death. The Man Bat and The Mad Hatter would be minor/supporting villains like Bane was in Batman and Robin.

10. Positive vs Negative

Back at the Wayne Manor, Bruce does his exercises in the batcave with Alfred going through the instructions.

"You need to do better than this Master Wayne" Alfred said. "But Alfred, I'm supposed to look into more positive things not the exercises" Bruce said. Alfred said back, "Exercise is a positive thing and will help you with your struggles"

Bruce kept on exercising in the batcave along with training practices by Alfred until a crowd of bats came. As the bats approached him, he was scared to death and ducked right down frightened.

"Don't worry Master Bruce, I didn't cause that bat thing to happen" Alfred said. "How did that happen? Seems like I'll never get over my fear of bats" Bruce said worryingly. "No worries Bruce, you'll overcome it one day but it will take time" Alfred said.

In the living room of his mansion, he turns on the TV for some Gotham News hoping there would be something good on the news. New reporter says, "The good news we have here in Gotham today is that Arkham Asylum psychiatrist Dr. Jonathan Crane has found a cure for mental insanity which is an improvement from his hallucinogens which got him fired as a professor of psychology at Gotham University last year. What the cure does is heal a mentally unstable or insane persons brain slowly by swallowing the medicine but it will usually take about ½ month to a month for it to be completely healed. We have Dr. Crane over here for us to explain the cure for us." Jonathan then says, " I believe this cure will be going in the right step for people with mental illnesses."

Bruce then turns the TV off thinking there would be nothing else good on. "Now Bruce, I know you and Crane have had such a rivalry but you can't keep holding a grudge against him. It will just make your own personality even worse." Alfred said. "Yeah Alfred I know, but he's still mad at me for telling him that the hallucinogen experiment he made on people was dangerous. I've tried to make amends with him but he still refuses."

"Well, perhaps you were too harsh on him when you told him how dangerous his experiment was. You were right it was very dangerous and nearly killed the people he experimented with." Alfred said. "Hmmm, maybe you're right." Bruce said. He went to his office where he would do his work and think about what he's going through.
