Batman Solo Movie FanFiction 1: An Icy Beginning
Hello, readers. This is a whole new series that I will be writing that will be like my own Batman solo movie universe and make it like other movie franchises. This series will show Batman getting his start in Gotham and developing relationships and making both friends and enemies along the way. Like my other series, I plan to make a total of 4 fanfictions in this series with a different villain in each story. I definitely want to give villains that haven't made it on the big screen a chance or at least in readers' minds. Or villains that I and others think need a redo in movies. The villain in this story will be Mr. Freeze because of how horribly he was portrayed in Batman and Robin. This story will basically just be the basic intro to Batman stuff as far as his parents getting killed and training and making a name for himself in Gotham and then pretty much the classic Freeze story as far as him trying to save Nora and getting revenge on Ferris Boyle. I absolutely do not own Batman which belongs to DC Comics and was created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger. I picture it as an animated thing, but you guys can picture it however you choose. Batman is in his Arkham City look along with the XE Suit from Arkham Origins: Cold, Cold Heart DLC with Kevin Conroy reprising his role. Mr. Freeze will be in his Arkham Origins: Cold, Cold Heart DLC look with Martin LaMarche reprising his role. Enjoy!
An Icy Beginning
Synopsis: Nearly two decades after seeing his parents killed right in front of him as a child, billionaire philanthropist Bruce Wayne returns to his home of Gotham City after being away for years traveling around learning all kinds of martial arts to combat the crime and corruption that plagues the city. Along with the help of his allies such as his butler, Alfred and Wayne Enterprises CEO, Lucius Fox, Bruce decides to become both a vigilante and a symbol that will show the people of Gotham that criminals don't own the city and to strike terror into the hearts of evil doers. While at the same time, Bruce's old friend, Ferris Boyle, who seems to have a good image, but really is a scumbag accidentally transforms his top scientist, Victor Fries into the cold-hearted Mr. Freeze after he was trying to cure his wife of Huntington's Chorea. Mr. Freeze then kidnaps Boyle for revenge and tries to still save his wife as well and it's up to Batman to deliver justice and prove that he can make a difference in Gotham.
Chapter 1: Birth Of The Bat
It was a cold and foggy night in the city of Gotham. Things have been getting much worse in the city these past few months. Crime and corruption has reached its highest levels in a long time. Most of the time, the city seems very dark and dull and has very little hope. One of the very few beacons of light that shone through the darkness was that of the Wayne family that consisted of Thomas Wayne, his wife Martha, and their 8 year old son, Bruce. Thomas ended up becoming a billionaire after both working hard as a surgeon at Gotham General and also becoming a philanthropist. The Wayne family was walking out of the Monarch movie theater in Park Row after Thomas arranged a special screening of "The Mark of Zorro" for his young son. "I can't believe you insisted on seeing that movie twice in a row, Bruce!", said Bruce's father, the world-famous surgeon Doctor Thomas Wayne, who has made billions of dollars in his career and has just formed Wayne Enterprises. "I'm sorry, Dad. i didn't mean to waste your time.", said a younger Bruce Wayne. "Take it easy on him, Tom. All that matters is he enjoyed himself.", said Bruce's mother and Thomas' wife, Martha Wayne. Thomas smiled at his son and agreed with his wife by saying, "You're absolutely right, Martha! Come on, guys. Alfred is waiting for us. Let's take a shortcut through this alley.". The Waynes began to walk through the dark and dirty alley, which will in the future be known as Crime Alley. "Honey, I'm not sure this is the best way to go.", said Martha with her arm around Bruce. "This won't take long. We'll be out of here before you know it.", said Tom. Then, all of a sudden a dirty-looking man in a cap turned around a corner of a building and was walking towards the family. Bruce all of a sudden felt awkward about this man walking towards him and honestly, a little scared. The man stopped in front of the three and pulled out a gun and yelled, "Hold it right there!". Bruce gasped with fright, but his mother tried to comfort him by tightening her grip around him, but of course she was terrified too. "Whoa! What is this?", asked Thomas out of confusion, anger and of course fear. "A stick-up, asshole! Now give me all the money you got!", yelled the thug. "Ok. Fine. Just stop pointing that gun at my wife and son! Here!", said Thomas as he cooperatively handed over his wallet. "That's not all I want! I want those pearls you have, lady!", demanded the thug as he stepped toward Martha and Bruce. "Stay away from them!", demanded Thomas as he got in the thug's way of trying to get to his family. "Back off! I want that necklace!", yelled the thug. "You're going to have to kill me first!", yelled Thomas. "If you insist", said the man with the gun and a second later he used it and fired a bullet right into Thomas Wayne's heart. "Dad!", screamed Bruce with agony at the sight of his father being murdered, whose body landed on the alley floor with blood pouring everywhere. "Tom! Oh, God! Tom!", yelled Martha at the top of her lungs. "Be quiet, lady and hand me over that necklace!", yelled the killer as he motioned his hand toward Martha's neck. "Stay away from me! Run, Bruce! Run!", yelled Martha to her son as the killer ripped Martha's pearl necklace right from her neck. "Shut up! How about you join your husband!", said the killer as he fired his gun again through Martha's heart as she fell on her dead husband's body with her 8 year old son still watching in horror at the sight of this monster murdering his own parents for his own greedy and selfish desires. "Mom!", yelled Bruce. The thug took one look at Bruce and Bruce looked at him with tear-filled eyes and shaking with fear and despair. The murderer started to realize he took things too far when he saw the son of the couple he had just murdered. "I….", was all the thug managed to get out when he started to turn around and bolt away with Bruce's parents' belongings and disappeared as he turned around the corner from which he came from. Young Bruce just layer there on his hands and knees beside his now dead parents. "NOOOOO!", Bruce screamed, his heart broken. Later that night, Bruce was picked up by the Gotham City Police Department and was currently in the office of a rookie detective that had been put on the case of the murder of Gotham's most beloved family. A few moments later, a cop with brown hair and a brown mustache walked in the office. He put a soft and comforting smile on his face as soon as he saw Bruce. He put a coat around Bruce's shoulders as a way to comfort him. Another cop came in the room and asked, "Is he okay?". "He'll be fine. A kid like that and all that money. He's set for life!", said another cop sarcastically. "Shut up! Now! He's 8 years old and all alone! Money won't fix that! yelled Gordon. "Yeah, whatever, Gordon. His butler's on his way to pick him up. You hear that? He's got a butler!", said the cop before he walked out of the room. "I'm sorry about that. I just need to ask you a few questions. Can I get you anything? You okay?", asked Gordon, but Bruce just said nothing and quietly sobbed. "I know you don't feel like answering me, but it's the only way to catch whoever did this.", Gordon persuaded calmly. "Why did he do it, officer? Why?", cried Bruce with tears in his eyes and tears running down his cheeks. Gordon didn't know what to say except, "I don't know. It's this city. There's something wrong with it. And listen, son, call me Jim.". Later that night after his butler went to pick him up who was just as heartbroken as he was, Bruce went to bed almost immediately. Or at least tried because he couldn't sleep at all after the traumatic life-changing event that had just taken place earlier in the evening. After hours of restlessness, Bruce got into prayer mode and started to make a vow. "God, I swear by the deaths of my parents, I will devote the rest of my life to protect this city from all criminals. I promise that I will make Gotham a safer place and avenge my parents' memory.", he silently vowed. After he said that, he finally felt the littlest bit of peace he could feel and then drifted off to sleep.
