Batman Begins: Enter Seto Kaiba

Cave
Finishing some light systems for the cavern, Seto starts climbs back down to the damp cave grounds.
"Okay. Give it a try, Arthur."
Arthur, nearby, does so and activates the swithes. Instantaneously, the lights go on soon after.
"Charming."
He stares at the bats still hanging on the stalactites.
"Well, at least you'll have company."
As his Kaiba gets back down.
Arthur exclaims, "This must be the lowest foundation of the southeast wing!"
They both head in the southeast corner.
"In the Korean War, your grandfather was involved in freeing South Koreans. Despite him being Japanese, he still helped. And I suspect that these caves came in handy."
Seto walks towards some archway doors and finds a chain linked to a secret elevator climbing back towards the Mansion.
Later
Seeing a waterfall nearby, Seto walks towards it and feels the rushing water.
"Arthur, come up here!"
"I can see everything all right from down here, sir, thank you very much!"
Later
On some working tables in the cave, Seto, has covered his face with a facemask. He spray paints his metal gaunlets, matte black, courtesy from the League of Shadows. PSST-PSST-PSST
Continuously, he also sprays the Nomex/Kevlar armor matte black. Coating the armor with black spray paint, he's able to lessen his heat signatures, once he's in the 'night.'
-Later-Arthur and Seto are discussing the cowl's creation
"Master Kaiba, we'll order the main part of the cowl from Singapore."
"Via a dummy corporation."
"Indeed. And quite seperately, we place an order to a Chinese company for these."
He points to the horn-shaped things on the order catalog.
"Put it together ourselves."
"Precisely. But they'll have to be a large orders to avoid suspicion, sir."
"How large?"
"Say 10,000."
"Well, at least we'll have spares."
"Yes."
Domino City-Evening-Mutou's car
Yugi Mutou, now in his forties, waits in the car for his crooked partner, Ushio Trudge, to finish his bribes and such. Trudge returns, satisfied with his latest addition to his corrupt cache of cash.
"Don't suppose you want a taste, Mutou. I just keep offering, thinking maybe someday you'll get wise."
"There's nothing wise in what you do, Trudge."
"Yeah, but Yuge, you don't take your taste, and it makes the rest of us guys nervous."
"I'm no rat! In a city this bent, who's there to rat to anyway?"
"Ha!"
Trudge starts to car back to Domino Police Department.
Domino Police Department
On top of roofs nearby the Police Headquarters, a ninja, Seto, is wearing his beta-test suit, wearing his ninja mask.
Mutou heads in his office and sits down at his desk, resting a bit. All of a sudden, he sees that the lights went down in his office. Immediately he feels a gun-shaped item of somesort on the back of his head.
"Don't turn around. You're a good cop, one of the few here," starts Kaiba.
"What do you want?"
"Gozaburo Falcone brings in shipments of drugs every week. Nobody takes him down. Why?"
"He's paid up with the right people."
"What will it take to bring him down?"
"Leverage on Judge Faden... and a DA brave enough to prosecute."
"Téa Gardner."
"Who are you?"
As the scene shifts towards Seto's right hand, holding a stapler, "Watch for my sign." Kaiba quickly disappears.
"You're just one man?"
"Now we're two."
"We?"
Getting no response from the stranger, Mutou turns around and sees no one. Immediately, he rises and rushes towards his open window. As the Sergent looks up, he sees a the stranger climbing upwards. He runs up the stairs to the roof. He sees the guy running away.
"Freeze!"
But the man is still running away. Seto, still escaping his Sergent "partner," runs towards the edge. Climbing onto some large metal pipes, the ninja leaps. Dropping down fast, he misses the top story, and then tries to grab a hold of the balcony below.
"Deeerrghh!"
It breaks away, and then the next piece does so as well..
"Agghhh! Igggaaghh..."
In spite of all this, Kaiba slips into the shadows.
One of the nearby cops asks him, "What the hell was that, Mutou?"
"Just some nut."
The next day at the Applied Sciences Division at KaibaCorp
From his desk, Roland, watches Kaiba approaching.
"Well, what is it today? More spelunking?"
"No. Today it's BASE-jumping."
"BASE-jumping? Isn't that like parachuting?"
"Kind of. Do you have any lightweight fabrics?"
"You know, I think I have just the thing."
Later
Roland opens up a case and pulls out a black cloth.
"It's called memory cloth. Notice anything?"
He hands the cloth to Kaiba. Seto just shrugs.
"Regularly flexible, but put a current through it..."
Wearing a kevlar/electrical glove, Roland touches the fabric. Suddenly, it stretches outward.
"Molecules realign, it becomes rigid."
"What kind of shapes can you make?"
"Can be tailored to fit any structure based on a rigid skeleton."
"Too expensive for the Army?"
"Well, I don't think that they ever tried to market it to the billionaires, spelunking, BASE-jumping crowd."
"Look, Roland."
"Yes, sir?"
"If you're uncomfortable-"
"Mr. Kaiba, if you don't want tell me exactly what you're doing, and when I'm asked, I don't have to lie. But don't think of me as an idiot."
"Fair enough."
He looks off and notices a large vehicle covered in wraps.
"What's that?"
"Oh, The Burst Stream? Oh, you wouldn't be interested in that..."
Inside a test-track of KaibaCorp warehouse-The Burst Stream
The massive tank-like vehicle zooms along inside the warehouse.
"Mr. Kaiba, she was built as a bridging vehicle. During combat, 2 of these would jump over a river, towing cables."
Meanwhile, Seto, is boosting the vehicle's speed to higher velocity.
"Over here on the throttle, flip that open and throttle up. This is what boost you up to a rampless jump-no not now!"
But it's too late, Seto activated The Burst Stream's throttle system.
"No, not now son..."
Roland slows the large tank-like vehicle down.
"We couldn't get the damn bridge to work, but this baby works just fine!"
Seto, makes a turn and stops the vehicle completely.
"So, what do you think?"
"Does it come in black?"
