Episode 1
Prologue
Gotham City at midnight:
Bruce and his parents walk out of the Opera theater. Bruce saw that the Gotham Opera House had a poster on the wall. It was advertising that there was a play of “The Bats” instead of “The Cats.”
The Gotham Opera House was more amazing than the Wayne Manor, Bruce thought as he looked around the theater. It had solid, gold double doors! A masterpiece! It was four stories tall. The kid turned around seeing the poster: “Bats in town!” It lit up like a Christmas tree, with a gold frame and yellow lights around it.
Bruce’s father had brown, grayish hair combed back. His mouth with a brown-gray mustache. The mustache was chapped on the left side, probably from cutting himself shaving. He had a black jacket with a slight tear in the middle of it. He wore a white, dress shirt with the front of it wrinkled; a black belt holding his black dress pants up, and shiny black shoes! When he was in the light of the moon, a streetlight would reflect on them, Bruce thought as he chuckled.
His mom had on a blue dress, slightly low-cut; earrings that had the shape of a star, a pure silver star; and black high heals. Her hair was pure brown with a slight highlight of blonde, indicating that maybe her real hair is blonde.
“Everything is perfect now that I’m out of that scary theater! Nothing could be more better!” Bruce thought.
Suddenly, out of the middle of nowhere, a man appeared. He had long, dark brown hair to his shoulders; a dark brown mustache; his eyes blue. The man was trembling in fear, his hands sweating…holding a little gun at Mr. Wayne. He had an ugly, dark green jacket with a pocket on one side, and a torn pocket thru the middle on the other side; a dark brown t-shirt with sewer crud stains on it; blue jeans and real nice, shiny black shoes that reflect in the light.
“Give me your money!” the man said and aimed the gun at Mr. Wayne.
“Okay! Take it easy! Here’s the wallet!” Mr. Wayne gives him the red wallet with a silver button that locks it. It drops on the hard concrete ground on the sidewalk.
“It’s okay! Everything is okay!” Mr. Wayne picks up the wallet and gives it to him.
“NOOOOOOOOOO!!” Mrs. Wayne screams blocking the shot by jumping in front of Mr. Wayne.
The gun fires as the man pulls the trigger. Mr. And Mrs. Wayne fall to the ground looking at Bruce.
“NOOOOOO!!” Bruce screams.
“Thanks kid!” the man runs away with the wallet.
“Don’t be afraid…promise me Bruce…promise me…” Mr. Wayne said lying down on the sidewalk with his teeth bleeding and a pool of blood surrounding him.
“Daddy! Daddy!” Bruce screams.
“I’ll always love you son, goodbye…” Mr. Wayne passes out…smiling…looking up at Bruce.
“I promise daddy… daddy…” Bruce holds his hand along with his mom’s. Both are in a pool of blood. Bruce cries.
Chapter 1
Present day:
“I’m not vengeance. I don’t cross the law. I would gladly give my life for another citizen. I believe in justice. It’s what I do, not who I am!” BATMAN said standing on top of the tallest skyscraper in all of Gotham. He stood at the edge of the deck on a flat roof that was on top of a silver lion’s idol. Bruce’s head was encased in a horned cowl that covered his eyes, but left his mouth and chin exposed. He stood tall with an insignia on his chest the shape of a “bat!” His utility belt had lots of buttons and pockets. His cape covering his legs.
He looked around seeing everything in the city…Wayne Industries, a 12 story building with the legendary clock tower, the cars…He could even see the Gotham National Bank.
On the sidewalk by Gotham National Bank:
A man walks by. He steps in ‘sewer goo’ and it is on his black shoes. The front of his face was turned forward so you couldn’t see the front of him at all. What you could see was long, blondish hair down to his shoulders. He had on black gloves and was holding a white clown mask with a blue, smiley face on it. There were holes cut out where the eyes were and had red eyebrows.
Next to him were three henchmen that also had matching masks. You couldn’t see the front of them either, but on top of the masks was Mohawk hair…blue, green and red. They all entered the double doors to the bank. Then they walked up the solid, concrete steps and entered in the gold, double doors.
Inside, they saw tourist and children looking at a big jewelry display. The four men had machine guns in their hands. They raised them and started firing them at the ceiling. They headed up the stairs, looking down at the scared children and tourists. They walked up the steps holding on to a gold rail. At the top, they say jewelry all over…and a bank vault. A balcony overlooked the whole bank. They still fired their machine guns at the ceiling, which sounded like a bus or truck running.
Then, the man with the white mask and long blonde hair, pointed the gun at the poor bank manager. The manager had brown hair, glasses on that had a slight crack on the left side, a blue tie that had a clip on it that was in the shape of a rectangle and said in gold, “Gotham City National Bank Manager.” He had on a blue suit jacket. On one side of it there was a nametag that read:
“James Nathaniel Wash
Manager, Gotham National Bank
Protecting it since 2005!”
He wore it proudly!
“This is a stick-up, ladies and gentlemen! Open the vault now!” the one masked robber with blonde hair said turning to his front. He had a green dress shirt on, a purple jacket, long black gloves and a black belt holding his black dress pants up. There were about 8-10 children with 4 adult women that looked like teachers. They all were terrified!
“Let’s put a smile on that face!” the robber with the white mask and long, blonde hair to his shoulders said.
A black shape plunged from the bottom of the floor and suddenly appeared at the top of the floor…
“Let me put one on you!” BATMAN told the Joker, he said with his head encased in a cowl but left his mouth and chin exposed. He had an insignia on his chest the shape of a bat.
“The BATMAN kill the Bat?” a henchman said grabbing his machine gun and shooting it at BATMAN.
In a corner at the Gotham National Bank:
A woman with a camera, pen and paper watches…
“Wow! I’ve hit the big scoop!!! BATMAN’S here!! I’ve hit the masterpiece!! Okay, think, what to write? BATMAN vs. some psycho robbers?” she thought as she started writing it down in her notebook. Her pen was a blue, ballpoint pen.
She had dark brown hair, a brown jacket on with a nametag that had a picture of her and the name: “Vicki Vale.” The prize star of the Gotham Gazette! She had earrings that were pure silver, in the shape of a ball.
“This could not be a more perfect day! I’m a star reporter and I’m back baby!! I wonder who BATMAN is though…” she thought.
She had black dress pants and black heels on. Her hands were sweating. She dropped the notebook and pen on the hard concrete floor.
“NOOOO!!” she screams.
“And who are you sweety?” a robber with a machine gun at her face asked her. He had a Mohawk, green hair, a white mask, black leather jacket, shirt and pants, and black leather gloves.
“AHHH!! Get away from me you freak!” she screams dropping her red purse on the ground while in tears.
BATMAN punched the robber with the long blonde hair, in the face. He then kicked the robber in the stomach with his left foot. The robber thug was knocked down on the ground.
BATMAN runs over to Vicki.
“NOOO!! Please don’t hurt me!” Vicki screams.
“Get away from her!” BATMAN tells the thug by her and punches him in the mask/face and head butts him. The thug falls down.
“Oh my gosh! BATMAN is coming over here! He saved my life! He’s so hot! Get a hold of yourself Vicki! I’m a journalist, so Vicki, for mercy sake, say something…but what?” Vicki thought to herself.
“Thanks,” Vicki said shyly and shocked.
BATMAN leans over to the ground grabbing her notebook and pen.
“You dropped this,” he said, in a deep voice handing her the pen and notebook.
“Oh gosh! Say something!” Vicki thought to herself.
“Thanks!” she replies grabbing the pen and notebook.
“It’s what I do!” BATMAN replied.
“You really should go! They’re ‘gonna get away! Thanks!” she said.
BATMAN used his grapple and aimed it at the ceiling. The ceiling began to crash! A school bus drops out of the ceiling!
Pieces of the ceiling were falling everywhere! BATMAN falls straight on his back on the solid concrete floor.
One of the thugs throws a ‘ball’ at the steel, bank vault door, and it blows up!
The thugs grab brown backpacks from the ground (by the bus), and put the money from the vault in it.
“Get in the bus now!” a thug with a white clown mask opens up the bus door and the thugs run in there.
The final thug takes his white mask off and reveals he has long blonde hair to his shoulders. His lips were covered in a ‘red clown smile.’ His eyes had black outline all around them. He smiled at BATMAN and got into the van.
They drove the bus straight thru the glass, bank window. Millions of pieces of glass landed on the ground. It shattered all over the floor!
Then the bus went off 3 stories and hit the ground on the main road. The bus was a little hurt…one of the tire’s fell off. The bus was driven away.
“They got away! They got away!” BATMAN replied getting up.
Vicki still watched and wrote.
Chapter 2
Later that night:
At the Wayne Mansion…
“He got away! He got away!” Bruce said.
“Please sir, the ‘District Attorney’ is here and so is Miss Rachel Doss. What Dent is doing is important sir. As you yourself have said, Dent symbolizes Gotham’s hope. In some ways, as BATMAN does,” Alfred Pennyworth, the Wayne family butler for a very long time and Bruce’s supporter, hid a smile telling Master Bruce. He held a tuxedo jacket ready for Bruce to slip it on over his muscular shoulders. Bruce buttoned up his white dress shirt.
Harvey Dent had been running for District Attorney for about a month of two. During the year, he had caught a lot of Gotham’s underground gangster criminals. Gotham saw his as a ‘new hope.’ Now the whole city believes in Harvey Dent!
Bruce walked over to Harvey Dent by the wine on a special dinner table.
“Hi, I’m…” Bruce introduces himself shaking Harvey’s hand.
Harvey had blonde, combed short hair, coming down to about his ear; and wearing a white dress shirt with a black tuxedo jacket. On the left side was button that said, “I believe in Harvey Dent!” He had on black dress pants and black shiny dress shoes that reflect the light. In one hand, a glass of red wine and the other…is shaking Bruce’s hand.
“Bruce Wayne! Please, I know the man that let me campaign in his home! The pleasure’s all mine!” Harvey shook his hand back.
There were at least 75-80 people in the room. They were the richest people in Gotham. But some, unfortunately, were the worst in Gotham, like the Falcone family, and other gangsters that ran Gotham underground.
A woman appears, “Bruce, are you ready?” the woman asked him. She had long, dark brown hair to her shoulders; a low-cut black dress on and black high heels. Her earrings were solid silver in the shape of a bat’s head.
“You must be Ms. Rachel Doss?” Harvey tells her shaking her hand. He smiles.
“Yes, I know your name. You’re all over the news! You look taller in real life! I work at the D.A. office, so…” Rachel tells him.
Still shaking Harvey’s hand, Bruce butts in and touches Rachel on her shoulder. “Well, Rachel, are you ready? Let’s go…”
“Don’t worry! If I was in the presence of such a beautiful young woman, I would want to make out with her too!” Harvey tells Bruce while looking at her beautiful brown eyes. He bent down and kissed her hand.
“A pleasure, Mr. Dent!” Rachel smiles chuckling.
“The pleasure was all mine!” Harvey started to slowly step away on the hard brick floor.
Half of the floor in the room at Wayne Manor was made out of red brick, and the other half was cut down in the middle. It was made out of flat, pure smooth wood. Tan wood.
Harvey sipped his red wine in a glass cup. It was a see thru cup so you could see the red wine.
Rachel held Bruce’s hand, shuffling thru the crowd of Gotham’s underground crime lords; like the Falcone family and others. As they shuffled there way thru the crowd, they got to the double doors made out of a wood frame and had glass inside the door that was painted green, red, blue and yellow. They opened the gold door handle and quickly ran out.
They ran up the pure silver stairs and entered a hallway of doors on both sides. They entered a doorway on the left hand side.
The door was made out of a gold frame. The door handle was pure bronze with a unique design of it.
Bruce’s fingers opened the door.
Rachel scanned the room.
The room had nice, silk, dark red bed covers. A quilt that had the colors green, blue, red, black and two pillows that were purple. The bed frame was pure bronze. It was queen size.
There was a desk. It had three drawers. It was a small table desk made out of oak. The corners were made from bronze.
On the top of the desk was a picture. It was framed in a golden, beautiful, shiny frame. Inside it was a picture of Bruce’s mom and dad, smiling. In between them was a little kid…that was Bruce.
The floor was made of beautiful tan wood. The ceiling was dark brown with cracks in it. There was a life-size window that overlooked all of Gotham City.
Bruce grabbed the door handle and slammed the door. He leaned his face down and started to kiss Rachel on the neck. Her heart leaped and raced.
“Thought Gotham needed BATMAN?” Rachel asked Bruce.
“BATMAN needs Rachel right now!” Bruce replied kissing her on the lips.
Her heart trembled in fear. It began to race. Then it stopped. She kissed him back.
They both heard a noise.
“What was that?” Rachel asked.
Bruce concerned.
She thought to herself, “maybe it was the ceiling falling…or maybe the chandelier lights dropped on the table…”
“It was probably nothing,” Bruce replied beginning to kiss her on the lips again.
She pushed him away from her.
“Why are you stopping?” Bruce asked her.
“Something’s wrong! It’s too quiet! See what it is!” Rachel told him.
“Fine. But it’s probably nothing!” Bruce replies.
Chapter 3
Bruce opened the pure bronze door handle and looked. There was no one there. He and Rachel stepped out to the hallway. Then they went down the silver stairs.
Into the hallway, the floor was a purple carpet with unique designs of animals on it.
They entered the doors. The two double doors made out of glass. Bruce cracked the doors open. Gotham’s finest were there; Commissioner Gordon and the whole crew of cops.
The double doors opened and the man that Bruce fought as BATMAN, the man with the long blonde hair, was there with his thugs getting jewelry from the people.
The thugs had on white clown masks. Machine guns were aiming at people to give them their money.
There were paintings on the walls; Shakespeare and Bruce’s parents. They were all framed in golden frames. The thugs were spraying them with paint, making faces on them…a red smiley face where the mouth was, black eye liner that colored the person’s eyes, and there hair was painted green…dark green. They basically just painted Joker’s face on the paintings, with happy faces.
“What are ‘they’ doing here? There’s the one that got away!” Bruce thought to himself.
“Rachel?” Bruce asked but Rachel wasn’t there.
Rachel was sneaking around table to table. Crawling under each table.
When she bumped her head, the thug heard it.
“Who’s there?” the thug with a red clown smile, black eye liner around his eye and blonde hair asked.
She slowly came out from the lace-covered table.
“You look scared!” he told her. He was getting something from his pocket.
“What is he getting from his pocket…a knife…a saw…a hammer…a mach…??” Rachel thought.
Her hands were sweaty. Her dress stuck to her skin because she was so sweaty. Her eyes were in tears. Her cheeks were turning red. Her heart raced and raced! Her chest was beating! She felt like her heart leaped out of her in a plane falling! Her mind was froze. She stood firm and frozen. Her feet were glued to the hard floor. She couldn’t move.
He was pulling out a pocketknife. A regular sized pocketknife. It had scratches on the left side of the blade and bloodstains on the other. It was sharper than ever, indicating he sharpened it.
Her mouth began to speak. Her lips began to move.
“Get away from me, you freak!” she screamed.
His face was painted pure white. His red clown lips began to move. His black dress shoes moved toward her.
Her heart began to race even more and more.
He walked closer. With every step he took walking closer and closer, her heart took one giant leap back.
He approached her face to face, smiling in a devilish way.
He put the pocketknife not even an inch away from her throat. Her throat gasped! Her heart stopped! Everyone in the room was in panic!
At the table where the drinks were, Harvey stood watching. His heart stopped too!
A black shape plunged over toward the thug and Rachel. His head was encased in a horned cowl that covered his eyes, but left his mouth and chin open. He had a Kevlar suit on with a symbol on his chest in the shape of a bat.
Rachel’s heart stopped in relief.
“The BATMAN is here!! Go get them…BATS…!” she thought to herself.
“Party pooper!” the thug told BATMAN as the thug’s hand moved in the air, giving a slight signal to his goons to fire their machine guns instead of gathering everyone’s jewelry and simply putting them in a bag.
They fire the machine guns at BATMAN. He crotches down on the hard cement floor like a gargoyle, and kicks the thug down on his knees.
“Why so serious?” the thug with the white makeup and red smiley face asked him.
“Get away from her!” BATMAN tells him.
He had his knife still at Rachel’s throat walking slowly away with her.
BATMAN starred into his eyes. BATMAN’S eyes made the thug look in fear.
The thug’s eyes trembled in fear! His hands, under the gloves, were sweating.
BATMAN moved his left foot forward towards the thug’s stomach. He kicked the thug in the stomach. The thug fell down.
A thug in the rear of BATMAN kicked him in the back. BATMAN fell down on his back on the hard cement floor.
The thug that has the white make-up on picked up the pocketknife. He ran out the double doors.
The other thugs followed, leaving BATMAN on the floor.
The criminals vanished.
The crowd looks on the floor a second later, and BATMAN vanished in plain sight!
Harvey began to walk towards Alfred.
“So, is this what happens everyday?” Harvey asked Alfred.
“You have no idea!” Alfred chuckled.
Chapter 4
Later:
“He got away again!! ‘Doggonit, Alfred!!” Bruce tells Alfred.
“Sir, your signal is up. They’re calling you!” Alfred says looking out the window.
It was a window with beautiful purple curtains and a gold outline! Alfred lightly pushed the curtains aside. The window overlooked the whole city!
The bat signal was shining in the purple sky. It was just about midnight. The clouds were grayish black.
“I think Gotham needs the BATMAN sir,” Alfred said.
He held the cape and cowl with the black Kevlar suit in his hand ready for Bruce to slip it on in a second.
A few minutes later:
On the roof of Gotham City Police Department Headquarters…
It was six stories tall. It is a tall, brown building. The rooftop was a gray, concrete ground where Lt. Gordon and District Attorney elect, Harvey Dent stood.
“He’s not coming! We’re going to be here all night!” Harvey thought. He had blonde, short hair; a black jacket on with a white dress shirt; and a blue tie with black spots on it. His eyes were blue. He was pacing around back and forth. Maybe he would wear out the rooftop.
“He’ll be here!” Lt. Gordon replied. He had orangish, short hair and an orange, fat mustache under his nose. His glasses were like Clark Kent’s…they were in the shape of a rectangle and the frames were black. He had a dark brown heavy coat; red tie with black stripes on it; a tan dress shirt that was slightly wrinkled because of the cold, midnight breeze; tight black pants and shiny new shoes.
They stood about three feet away from the bat signal.
Suddenly, a black, rubber shaped object gliding thru the air comes down onto the rooftop. His cape covered his feet, legs and hands. On his chest was a symbol, it looked like a Batarang, but it was made out of the shape of a bat. His head was encased in a cowl with horns. His mouth and chin were open.
Harvey scanned the figure.
“Whoa, he is cool! He’s the BATMAN! More like a guy that dresses up in a Halloween costume and plays trick or treat! No matter, he does things I can’t! That is so cool!” Harvey thought.
The figure began to speak…
“Gentlemen, what’s up?” BATMAN asked them in a deep voice.
“This is the man running for District Attorney, Harvey Dent!” Gordon told him.
“Dent, nice to meet you,” BATMAN replied.
He shook Dent’s right hand.
“Well, now that we’ve all met, let’s get down to business!” Gordon replied itching his mustache.
“Falcone’s been ruling the law! He has to be brought to justice!” Dent says.
“Yes, his new crime lord name is, ‘The Roman.’ He’s back in business,” Gordon explains with his heavy coat blowing in the cold, midnight breeze.
“Agreed, gentlemen,” BATMAN replied getting ready to fly off of the roof.
“Thanks!” Dent told him.
“No thanks needed!” BATMAN says as he glided off the building with his cape guiding him. He vanished into the night.
When Gordon looked down, he was gone.
“Gone like the wind! Incredible!!” Harvey replied.
Chapter 5
The next day…Halloween:
At the Falcone Penthouse located in an abandoned, underground subway building…
The most dangerous criminals and gangsters of Gotham underground…these were the worst: crime lords, drug lords, you name it. They all gathered in one room around a giant table.
“Gentlemen, we have a problem!” Falcone tells them. He had grayish short hair and brown eyes. When he stared at you, his eyes looked like the devil! He had a white tuxedo jacket on with black buttons, black dress pants and black shiny shoes. His face was covered in wrinkles. He ran Gotham awhile back. He was ‘god’ of Gotham, underground. But BATMAN put him in his place! Showed him ‘who’ was boss!
Falcone suddenly disappeared after Ra’s al Ghul exposed the city to a scare toxin. Now, Falcone has been at war with a new underground god…Gamble, for the past three to four months.
“Yeah, we know! Spare us the details!” Sal Maroni said. He had short, dark brown hair. He also had a tuxedo on with black dress pants and black shiny shoes. He was sitting back in a blue leather chair. He put his hands down on the smooth, dark table.
“We know the BATMAN!!!” Falcone’s sister said. She had long, curly brown hair and was very overweight. She wore a dark blue trench coat over a long sleeved black shirt; dress pants and black boots. Her fingernails were painted ‘violet.’ Her lips were ‘violet.’ She had blue eyes and dark brown eyebrows. Eyeliner outlined her skin and her cheeks were red. She ran the south side of Gotham underground. Her name is Sofia.
“I have the answers!” Falcone replied. He smiled.
The double doors opened and someone came in. He had blonde hair, long blonde hair. His face was painted pure white. He had a smile like a clown, his lips were red and his eyes were blue. There was a black outliner that outlined around his eyes. When you looked at his eyes, you were staring at the devil! He had a purple trench coat on and green dress shirt; black gloves and black shiny shoes.
“Whoa! Who is this clown?? Son of a gun!! I wonder if he will hurt me?” Sal Maroni thought to himself.
“Gentleman, where do we begin?” the clowned freak asked them.
“What the devil is this?” Sal Maroni asked Falcone. He was wondering what the heck is this clown doing there!
“He’s the answer to our problems!” Falcone replied. He smiled and crossed his hands on the table.
“What the freakin’ heck game is Falcone up too?” Sal thought. He itched his narrow chin…his hands sweated…he was nervous…he was thinking about what Falcone’s game is…his throat gulped…he took a big breath of air and began to speak:
“The answer to our problems?” Sal questioned Falcone. He was very confused now and worried.
“Gentleman, meet the worst freak and criminal in Gotham yet!! Double homicides and 7 murders, 21 bank robberies…has a taste for the theatrical! Gentlemen, meet the Joker!!” Falcone explains and smiles. He put his chin up high. He was happy. He was the ‘King’ of Gotham again!
“Here’s my card!” the clown freak gave Falcone a card and set in on the table.
The card was a playing card. It had a joker on it with a hat. The hat was yellow and green, a juggler’s hat, with bells on the sides. On its face was a red smile. It had a red/yellow t-shirt on with a staff in the shape of a joker. On the top of the card, in big black capital letters, it said: “JOKER!”
“Are you in gentlemen?” Falcone asked them. He smiled again, still feeling good about being the ‘King’ again.
“We’re in!” Sal replied shaking Falcone’s left hand. Sal smiled.
“I’m in!” Sofia said. She smiled.
“Excellent! Then we’re all in!” Falcone smiled and chuckled. He crossed his fingers.
“So, what’s the plan?” Sal asked the clown freak. He was curious.
“Simple. We kill the BATMAN!” the clown freak replied.
Another gangster crime lord that was new watched.
“Gordon’s ‘gonna love this! He would’ve never guessed this!” the new gangster said. He had short brown hair and blue eyes. He had a tuxedo on, a shirt, black dress pants and brown shiny shoes. His name was unknown. He was new. Little was known about him. He was either a drug lord or crime lord. He went out the door. When he got out of the underground subway tunnel, he went up concrete stairs to the surface. As he walked on the sidewalk, he took off his facemask. He turned around and revealed he was Harvey Dent! Harvey smiled.
Chapter 6
Halloween night:
Later…
Harvey headed to Rachel’s house. He walked on the hard concrete ground. He saw kids going to Rachel’s door. There was one that wore a witch’s hat. She had long, curly brown hair and was holding a pumpkin basket. It had a pumpkin face on it and it was to collect candy in. She was 8-9 years old. She was away from the house laughing and smiling.
On the left side of her was another kid dressed up in a cowboy get-up: gray cowboy hat, a white robber’s mask that covered his mouth and nose but left his eyes exposed, brown leather cowboy boots, a brown cowboy jacket, a yellow cowboy shirt and a bag to hold the candy in. He was about 7 to 8 years old.
Straight in front of him was a kid dressed up as a ghost. He had a gray bag to put the candy in. He had a long white sheet on that covered even his feet; a white mask which covered his mouth, ears, nose and hair, but left his eyes exposed. He was running towards Harvey.
Harvey walked straight ahead. “Hope you guys got a lot of candy!” Harvey tells them.
“We sure did!” the kid in the ghost costume replied. The ghost kid couldn’t see where he was going and ran into Harvey.
“Oops! Sorry!” the kid in the ghost costume apologizes running to the next house to get some candy. His candy basket was halfway full.
As Harvey walked toward the house, Rachel opened the door. Rachel smiled. She was happy Harvey came. Earlier, she invited him over for Halloween.
Harvey walked on the hard concrete sidewalk. On the sides was grass. He walked up purple steps. The house was purple. On each side of the steps were pumpkins with faces…jack-o-lanterns! He walked into the doorway. It was dark blue. He walked up to Rachel and smiled.
Rachel had on a black; low cut dress and silver earrings, the shape of coins. The earrings were exact replicas of a quarter. She had long, dark brown hair, hanging down to her shoulders. She was holding a champagne glass. Harvey kissed her on the lips. Her lips began to move. Her heart beat harder and harder. “I believe in Harvey Dent…I believe in New Gotham!” she said kissing him back, smiling and closing the dark blue door.
At the same time:
John Vitta’s house…
It was a two-story house, located on the south side of Gotham on top of a hill. It was a mansion! The door was silver. Inside, John Vitta was about to take a bath. He opened the blue door with the gold doorknob. He entered his bathroom. He had a white cloth robe on. It had a design on it by his shoulder. It was the design of a roman-soldier head. Inside the design it says, “The Roman.” He bent down to run the bath water. He turned the silver knob on. Hot water began to run. His hair was short and black. His name was Johnny Vitta. He was Falcone’s nephew. He ran Gotham underground on the south side. The floor he stood on was tiled. The wall was green. There was a mirror located on the wall. Under it was a silver faucet sink. The bath water began to overflow. He bent down and shut the handle off. The water stopped running. He was Japanese. He had a Japanese face and blue eyes. He removed his robe. He had very hairy feet and chest. He bent down and put his feet in the tub to see if the water was too hot or too cold. But it was just right! Steam was coming out of the bubbling water. He bent down and got in, leaving his head, chin and upper chest exposed. The rest of his body was covered by the hot bubbling water.
The door creaked open…a mysterious person was there. You could only see his hands, nothing else. He was holding a .22 pistol that used a rubber baby bottle nipple as a silencer. The handle was taped and the serial number filed off. He put his hand on the trigger…he cracked the door open more.
“That was a noise. I wonder who’s there?” Johnny thought taking his bath.
“Who’s there?” Johnny asked the mysterious person.
The gun fired.
“NOOOOOOO!!” Johnny said, his mouth opened with blood starting to cover the bathtub water.
The shooter dropped the weapon on the hard tiled floor with two gold bullets lying beside it. He also left a jack-o-lantern pumpkin beside the weapon. The tub was covered in blood. Johnny was lying back resting his head on the back of the tub as he died. Blood gushed from his mouth as he started to pass out, dropping his head on the side of the tub. Just as Johnny died, he had a button under the water…he pushed it with his left hand…he passed out and died.
Chapter 7
Back at Rachel Doss’ house:
A red Saturn stands outside Rachel’s house…
“Do it!” an anonymous voice said.
“BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!”
Someone pushed a button and Rachel’ house blew up…piece by piece!!
“It’s been done!” the mysterious voice said.
“Good! The boss will be pleased!” another mysterious voice said.
The red Saturn drove away…

Prologue
Gotham City at midnight:
Bruce and his parents walk out of the Opera theater. Bruce saw that the Gotham Opera House had a poster on the wall. It was advertising that there was a play of “The Bats” instead of “The Cats.”
The Gotham Opera House was more amazing than the Wayne Manor, Bruce thought as he looked around the theater. It had solid, gold double doors! A masterpiece! It was four stories tall. The kid turned around seeing the poster: “Bats in town!” It lit up like a Christmas tree, with a gold frame and yellow lights around it.
Bruce’s father had brown, grayish hair combed back. His mouth with a brown-gray mustache. The mustache was chapped on the left side, probably from cutting himself shaving. He had a black jacket with a slight tear in the middle of it. He wore a white, dress shirt with the front of it wrinkled; a black belt holding his black dress pants up, and shiny black shoes! When he was in the light of the moon, a streetlight would reflect on them, Bruce thought as he chuckled.
His mom had on a blue dress, slightly low-cut; earrings that had the shape of a star, a pure silver star; and black high heals. Her hair was pure brown with a slight highlight of blonde, indicating that maybe her real hair is blonde.
“Everything is perfect now that I’m out of that scary theater! Nothing could be more better!” Bruce thought.
Suddenly, out of the middle of nowhere, a man appeared. He had long, dark brown hair to his shoulders; a dark brown mustache; his eyes blue. The man was trembling in fear, his hands sweating…holding a little gun at Mr. Wayne. He had an ugly, dark green jacket with a pocket on one side, and a torn pocket thru the middle on the other side; a dark brown t-shirt with sewer crud stains on it; blue jeans and real nice, shiny black shoes that reflect in the light.
“Give me your money!” the man said and aimed the gun at Mr. Wayne.
“Okay! Take it easy! Here’s the wallet!” Mr. Wayne gives him the red wallet with a silver button that locks it. It drops on the hard concrete ground on the sidewalk.
“It’s okay! Everything is okay!” Mr. Wayne picks up the wallet and gives it to him.
“NOOOOOOOOOO!!” Mrs. Wayne screams blocking the shot by jumping in front of Mr. Wayne.
The gun fires as the man pulls the trigger. Mr. And Mrs. Wayne fall to the ground looking at Bruce.
“NOOOOOO!!” Bruce screams.
“Thanks kid!” the man runs away with the wallet.
“Don’t be afraid…promise me Bruce…promise me…” Mr. Wayne said lying down on the sidewalk with his teeth bleeding and a pool of blood surrounding him.
“Daddy! Daddy!” Bruce screams.
“I’ll always love you son, goodbye…” Mr. Wayne passes out…smiling…looking up at Bruce.
“I promise daddy… daddy…” Bruce holds his hand along with his mom’s. Both are in a pool of blood. Bruce cries.
Chapter 1
Present day:
“I’m not vengeance. I don’t cross the law. I would gladly give my life for another citizen. I believe in justice. It’s what I do, not who I am!” BATMAN said standing on top of the tallest skyscraper in all of Gotham. He stood at the edge of the deck on a flat roof that was on top of a silver lion’s idol. Bruce’s head was encased in a horned cowl that covered his eyes, but left his mouth and chin exposed. He stood tall with an insignia on his chest the shape of a “bat!” His utility belt had lots of buttons and pockets. His cape covering his legs.
He looked around seeing everything in the city…Wayne Industries, a 12 story building with the legendary clock tower, the cars…He could even see the Gotham National Bank.
On the sidewalk by Gotham National Bank:
A man walks by. He steps in ‘sewer goo’ and it is on his black shoes. The front of his face was turned forward so you couldn’t see the front of him at all. What you could see was long, blondish hair down to his shoulders. He had on black gloves and was holding a white clown mask with a blue, smiley face on it. There were holes cut out where the eyes were and had red eyebrows.
Next to him were three henchmen that also had matching masks. You couldn’t see the front of them either, but on top of the masks was Mohawk hair…blue, green and red. They all entered the double doors to the bank. Then they walked up the solid, concrete steps and entered in the gold, double doors.
Inside, they saw tourist and children looking at a big jewelry display. The four men had machine guns in their hands. They raised them and started firing them at the ceiling. They headed up the stairs, looking down at the scared children and tourists. They walked up the steps holding on to a gold rail. At the top, they say jewelry all over…and a bank vault. A balcony overlooked the whole bank. They still fired their machine guns at the ceiling, which sounded like a bus or truck running.
Then, the man with the white mask and long blonde hair, pointed the gun at the poor bank manager. The manager had brown hair, glasses on that had a slight crack on the left side, a blue tie that had a clip on it that was in the shape of a rectangle and said in gold, “Gotham City National Bank Manager.” He had on a blue suit jacket. On one side of it there was a nametag that read:
“James Nathaniel Wash
Manager, Gotham National Bank
Protecting it since 2005!”
He wore it proudly!
“This is a stick-up, ladies and gentlemen! Open the vault now!” the one masked robber with blonde hair said turning to his front. He had a green dress shirt on, a purple jacket, long black gloves and a black belt holding his black dress pants up. There were about 8-10 children with 4 adult women that looked like teachers. They all were terrified!
“Let’s put a smile on that face!” the robber with the white mask and long, blonde hair to his shoulders said.
A black shape plunged from the bottom of the floor and suddenly appeared at the top of the floor…
“Let me put one on you!” BATMAN told the Joker, he said with his head encased in a cowl but left his mouth and chin exposed. He had an insignia on his chest the shape of a bat.
“The BATMAN kill the Bat?” a henchman said grabbing his machine gun and shooting it at BATMAN.
In a corner at the Gotham National Bank:
A woman with a camera, pen and paper watches…
“Wow! I’ve hit the big scoop!!! BATMAN’S here!! I’ve hit the masterpiece!! Okay, think, what to write? BATMAN vs. some psycho robbers?” she thought as she started writing it down in her notebook. Her pen was a blue, ballpoint pen.
She had dark brown hair, a brown jacket on with a nametag that had a picture of her and the name: “Vicki Vale.” The prize star of the Gotham Gazette! She had earrings that were pure silver, in the shape of a ball.
“This could not be a more perfect day! I’m a star reporter and I’m back baby!! I wonder who BATMAN is though…” she thought.
She had black dress pants and black heels on. Her hands were sweating. She dropped the notebook and pen on the hard concrete floor.
“NOOOO!!” she screams.
“And who are you sweety?” a robber with a machine gun at her face asked her. He had a Mohawk, green hair, a white mask, black leather jacket, shirt and pants, and black leather gloves.
“AHHH!! Get away from me you freak!” she screams dropping her red purse on the ground while in tears.
BATMAN punched the robber with the long blonde hair, in the face. He then kicked the robber in the stomach with his left foot. The robber thug was knocked down on the ground.
BATMAN runs over to Vicki.
“NOOO!! Please don’t hurt me!” Vicki screams.
“Get away from her!” BATMAN tells the thug by her and punches him in the mask/face and head butts him. The thug falls down.
“Oh my gosh! BATMAN is coming over here! He saved my life! He’s so hot! Get a hold of yourself Vicki! I’m a journalist, so Vicki, for mercy sake, say something…but what?” Vicki thought to herself.
“Thanks,” Vicki said shyly and shocked.
BATMAN leans over to the ground grabbing her notebook and pen.
“You dropped this,” he said, in a deep voice handing her the pen and notebook.
“Oh gosh! Say something!” Vicki thought to herself.
“Thanks!” she replies grabbing the pen and notebook.
“It’s what I do!” BATMAN replied.
“You really should go! They’re ‘gonna get away! Thanks!” she said.
BATMAN used his grapple and aimed it at the ceiling. The ceiling began to crash! A school bus drops out of the ceiling!
Pieces of the ceiling were falling everywhere! BATMAN falls straight on his back on the solid concrete floor.
One of the thugs throws a ‘ball’ at the steel, bank vault door, and it blows up!
The thugs grab brown backpacks from the ground (by the bus), and put the money from the vault in it.
“Get in the bus now!” a thug with a white clown mask opens up the bus door and the thugs run in there.
The final thug takes his white mask off and reveals he has long blonde hair to his shoulders. His lips were covered in a ‘red clown smile.’ His eyes had black outline all around them. He smiled at BATMAN and got into the van.
They drove the bus straight thru the glass, bank window. Millions of pieces of glass landed on the ground. It shattered all over the floor!
Then the bus went off 3 stories and hit the ground on the main road. The bus was a little hurt…one of the tire’s fell off. The bus was driven away.
“They got away! They got away!” BATMAN replied getting up.
Vicki still watched and wrote.
Chapter 2
Later that night:
At the Wayne Mansion…
“He got away! He got away!” Bruce said.
“Please sir, the ‘District Attorney’ is here and so is Miss Rachel Doss. What Dent is doing is important sir. As you yourself have said, Dent symbolizes Gotham’s hope. In some ways, as BATMAN does,” Alfred Pennyworth, the Wayne family butler for a very long time and Bruce’s supporter, hid a smile telling Master Bruce. He held a tuxedo jacket ready for Bruce to slip it on over his muscular shoulders. Bruce buttoned up his white dress shirt.
Harvey Dent had been running for District Attorney for about a month of two. During the year, he had caught a lot of Gotham’s underground gangster criminals. Gotham saw his as a ‘new hope.’ Now the whole city believes in Harvey Dent!
Bruce walked over to Harvey Dent by the wine on a special dinner table.
“Hi, I’m…” Bruce introduces himself shaking Harvey’s hand.
Harvey had blonde, combed short hair, coming down to about his ear; and wearing a white dress shirt with a black tuxedo jacket. On the left side was button that said, “I believe in Harvey Dent!” He had on black dress pants and black shiny dress shoes that reflect the light. In one hand, a glass of red wine and the other…is shaking Bruce’s hand.
“Bruce Wayne! Please, I know the man that let me campaign in his home! The pleasure’s all mine!” Harvey shook his hand back.
There were at least 75-80 people in the room. They were the richest people in Gotham. But some, unfortunately, were the worst in Gotham, like the Falcone family, and other gangsters that ran Gotham underground.
A woman appears, “Bruce, are you ready?” the woman asked him. She had long, dark brown hair to her shoulders; a low-cut black dress on and black high heels. Her earrings were solid silver in the shape of a bat’s head.
“You must be Ms. Rachel Doss?” Harvey tells her shaking her hand. He smiles.
“Yes, I know your name. You’re all over the news! You look taller in real life! I work at the D.A. office, so…” Rachel tells him.
Still shaking Harvey’s hand, Bruce butts in and touches Rachel on her shoulder. “Well, Rachel, are you ready? Let’s go…”
“Don’t worry! If I was in the presence of such a beautiful young woman, I would want to make out with her too!” Harvey tells Bruce while looking at her beautiful brown eyes. He bent down and kissed her hand.
“A pleasure, Mr. Dent!” Rachel smiles chuckling.
“The pleasure was all mine!” Harvey started to slowly step away on the hard brick floor.
Half of the floor in the room at Wayne Manor was made out of red brick, and the other half was cut down in the middle. It was made out of flat, pure smooth wood. Tan wood.
Harvey sipped his red wine in a glass cup. It was a see thru cup so you could see the red wine.
Rachel held Bruce’s hand, shuffling thru the crowd of Gotham’s underground crime lords; like the Falcone family and others. As they shuffled there way thru the crowd, they got to the double doors made out of a wood frame and had glass inside the door that was painted green, red, blue and yellow. They opened the gold door handle and quickly ran out.
They ran up the pure silver stairs and entered a hallway of doors on both sides. They entered a doorway on the left hand side.
The door was made out of a gold frame. The door handle was pure bronze with a unique design of it.
Bruce’s fingers opened the door.
Rachel scanned the room.
The room had nice, silk, dark red bed covers. A quilt that had the colors green, blue, red, black and two pillows that were purple. The bed frame was pure bronze. It was queen size.
There was a desk. It had three drawers. It was a small table desk made out of oak. The corners were made from bronze.
On the top of the desk was a picture. It was framed in a golden, beautiful, shiny frame. Inside it was a picture of Bruce’s mom and dad, smiling. In between them was a little kid…that was Bruce.
The floor was made of beautiful tan wood. The ceiling was dark brown with cracks in it. There was a life-size window that overlooked all of Gotham City.
Bruce grabbed the door handle and slammed the door. He leaned his face down and started to kiss Rachel on the neck. Her heart leaped and raced.
“Thought Gotham needed BATMAN?” Rachel asked Bruce.
“BATMAN needs Rachel right now!” Bruce replied kissing her on the lips.
Her heart trembled in fear. It began to race. Then it stopped. She kissed him back.
They both heard a noise.
“What was that?” Rachel asked.
Bruce concerned.
She thought to herself, “maybe it was the ceiling falling…or maybe the chandelier lights dropped on the table…”
“It was probably nothing,” Bruce replied beginning to kiss her on the lips again.
She pushed him away from her.
“Why are you stopping?” Bruce asked her.
“Something’s wrong! It’s too quiet! See what it is!” Rachel told him.
“Fine. But it’s probably nothing!” Bruce replies.
Chapter 3
Bruce opened the pure bronze door handle and looked. There was no one there. He and Rachel stepped out to the hallway. Then they went down the silver stairs.
Into the hallway, the floor was a purple carpet with unique designs of animals on it.
They entered the doors. The two double doors made out of glass. Bruce cracked the doors open. Gotham’s finest were there; Commissioner Gordon and the whole crew of cops.
The double doors opened and the man that Bruce fought as BATMAN, the man with the long blonde hair, was there with his thugs getting jewelry from the people.
The thugs had on white clown masks. Machine guns were aiming at people to give them their money.
There were paintings on the walls; Shakespeare and Bruce’s parents. They were all framed in golden frames. The thugs were spraying them with paint, making faces on them…a red smiley face where the mouth was, black eye liner that colored the person’s eyes, and there hair was painted green…dark green. They basically just painted Joker’s face on the paintings, with happy faces.
“What are ‘they’ doing here? There’s the one that got away!” Bruce thought to himself.
“Rachel?” Bruce asked but Rachel wasn’t there.
Rachel was sneaking around table to table. Crawling under each table.
When she bumped her head, the thug heard it.
“Who’s there?” the thug with a red clown smile, black eye liner around his eye and blonde hair asked.
She slowly came out from the lace-covered table.
“You look scared!” he told her. He was getting something from his pocket.
“What is he getting from his pocket…a knife…a saw…a hammer…a mach…??” Rachel thought.
Her hands were sweaty. Her dress stuck to her skin because she was so sweaty. Her eyes were in tears. Her cheeks were turning red. Her heart raced and raced! Her chest was beating! She felt like her heart leaped out of her in a plane falling! Her mind was froze. She stood firm and frozen. Her feet were glued to the hard floor. She couldn’t move.
He was pulling out a pocketknife. A regular sized pocketknife. It had scratches on the left side of the blade and bloodstains on the other. It was sharper than ever, indicating he sharpened it.
Her mouth began to speak. Her lips began to move.
“Get away from me, you freak!” she screamed.
His face was painted pure white. His red clown lips began to move. His black dress shoes moved toward her.
Her heart began to race even more and more.
He walked closer. With every step he took walking closer and closer, her heart took one giant leap back.
He approached her face to face, smiling in a devilish way.
He put the pocketknife not even an inch away from her throat. Her throat gasped! Her heart stopped! Everyone in the room was in panic!
At the table where the drinks were, Harvey stood watching. His heart stopped too!
A black shape plunged over toward the thug and Rachel. His head was encased in a horned cowl that covered his eyes, but left his mouth and chin open. He had a Kevlar suit on with a symbol on his chest in the shape of a bat.
Rachel’s heart stopped in relief.
“The BATMAN is here!! Go get them…BATS…!” she thought to herself.
“Party pooper!” the thug told BATMAN as the thug’s hand moved in the air, giving a slight signal to his goons to fire their machine guns instead of gathering everyone’s jewelry and simply putting them in a bag.
They fire the machine guns at BATMAN. He crotches down on the hard cement floor like a gargoyle, and kicks the thug down on his knees.
“Why so serious?” the thug with the white makeup and red smiley face asked him.
“Get away from her!” BATMAN tells him.
He had his knife still at Rachel’s throat walking slowly away with her.
BATMAN starred into his eyes. BATMAN’S eyes made the thug look in fear.
The thug’s eyes trembled in fear! His hands, under the gloves, were sweating.
BATMAN moved his left foot forward towards the thug’s stomach. He kicked the thug in the stomach. The thug fell down.
A thug in the rear of BATMAN kicked him in the back. BATMAN fell down on his back on the hard cement floor.
The thug that has the white make-up on picked up the pocketknife. He ran out the double doors.
The other thugs followed, leaving BATMAN on the floor.
The criminals vanished.
The crowd looks on the floor a second later, and BATMAN vanished in plain sight!
Harvey began to walk towards Alfred.
“So, is this what happens everyday?” Harvey asked Alfred.
“You have no idea!” Alfred chuckled.
Chapter 4
Later:
“He got away again!! ‘Doggonit, Alfred!!” Bruce tells Alfred.
“Sir, your signal is up. They’re calling you!” Alfred says looking out the window.
It was a window with beautiful purple curtains and a gold outline! Alfred lightly pushed the curtains aside. The window overlooked the whole city!
The bat signal was shining in the purple sky. It was just about midnight. The clouds were grayish black.
“I think Gotham needs the BATMAN sir,” Alfred said.
He held the cape and cowl with the black Kevlar suit in his hand ready for Bruce to slip it on in a second.
A few minutes later:
On the roof of Gotham City Police Department Headquarters…
It was six stories tall. It is a tall, brown building. The rooftop was a gray, concrete ground where Lt. Gordon and District Attorney elect, Harvey Dent stood.
“He’s not coming! We’re going to be here all night!” Harvey thought. He had blonde, short hair; a black jacket on with a white dress shirt; and a blue tie with black spots on it. His eyes were blue. He was pacing around back and forth. Maybe he would wear out the rooftop.
“He’ll be here!” Lt. Gordon replied. He had orangish, short hair and an orange, fat mustache under his nose. His glasses were like Clark Kent’s…they were in the shape of a rectangle and the frames were black. He had a dark brown heavy coat; red tie with black stripes on it; a tan dress shirt that was slightly wrinkled because of the cold, midnight breeze; tight black pants and shiny new shoes.
They stood about three feet away from the bat signal.
Suddenly, a black, rubber shaped object gliding thru the air comes down onto the rooftop. His cape covered his feet, legs and hands. On his chest was a symbol, it looked like a Batarang, but it was made out of the shape of a bat. His head was encased in a cowl with horns. His mouth and chin were open.
Harvey scanned the figure.
“Whoa, he is cool! He’s the BATMAN! More like a guy that dresses up in a Halloween costume and plays trick or treat! No matter, he does things I can’t! That is so cool!” Harvey thought.
The figure began to speak…
“Gentlemen, what’s up?” BATMAN asked them in a deep voice.
“This is the man running for District Attorney, Harvey Dent!” Gordon told him.
“Dent, nice to meet you,” BATMAN replied.
He shook Dent’s right hand.
“Well, now that we’ve all met, let’s get down to business!” Gordon replied itching his mustache.
“Falcone’s been ruling the law! He has to be brought to justice!” Dent says.
“Yes, his new crime lord name is, ‘The Roman.’ He’s back in business,” Gordon explains with his heavy coat blowing in the cold, midnight breeze.
“Agreed, gentlemen,” BATMAN replied getting ready to fly off of the roof.
“Thanks!” Dent told him.
“No thanks needed!” BATMAN says as he glided off the building with his cape guiding him. He vanished into the night.
When Gordon looked down, he was gone.
“Gone like the wind! Incredible!!” Harvey replied.
Chapter 5
The next day…Halloween:
At the Falcone Penthouse located in an abandoned, underground subway building…
The most dangerous criminals and gangsters of Gotham underground…these were the worst: crime lords, drug lords, you name it. They all gathered in one room around a giant table.
“Gentlemen, we have a problem!” Falcone tells them. He had grayish short hair and brown eyes. When he stared at you, his eyes looked like the devil! He had a white tuxedo jacket on with black buttons, black dress pants and black shiny shoes. His face was covered in wrinkles. He ran Gotham awhile back. He was ‘god’ of Gotham, underground. But BATMAN put him in his place! Showed him ‘who’ was boss!
Falcone suddenly disappeared after Ra’s al Ghul exposed the city to a scare toxin. Now, Falcone has been at war with a new underground god…Gamble, for the past three to four months.
“Yeah, we know! Spare us the details!” Sal Maroni said. He had short, dark brown hair. He also had a tuxedo on with black dress pants and black shiny shoes. He was sitting back in a blue leather chair. He put his hands down on the smooth, dark table.
“We know the BATMAN!!!” Falcone’s sister said. She had long, curly brown hair and was very overweight. She wore a dark blue trench coat over a long sleeved black shirt; dress pants and black boots. Her fingernails were painted ‘violet.’ Her lips were ‘violet.’ She had blue eyes and dark brown eyebrows. Eyeliner outlined her skin and her cheeks were red. She ran the south side of Gotham underground. Her name is Sofia.
“I have the answers!” Falcone replied. He smiled.
The double doors opened and someone came in. He had blonde hair, long blonde hair. His face was painted pure white. He had a smile like a clown, his lips were red and his eyes were blue. There was a black outliner that outlined around his eyes. When you looked at his eyes, you were staring at the devil! He had a purple trench coat on and green dress shirt; black gloves and black shiny shoes.
“Whoa! Who is this clown?? Son of a gun!! I wonder if he will hurt me?” Sal Maroni thought to himself.
“Gentleman, where do we begin?” the clowned freak asked them.
“What the devil is this?” Sal Maroni asked Falcone. He was wondering what the heck is this clown doing there!
“He’s the answer to our problems!” Falcone replied. He smiled and crossed his hands on the table.
“What the freakin’ heck game is Falcone up too?” Sal thought. He itched his narrow chin…his hands sweated…he was nervous…he was thinking about what Falcone’s game is…his throat gulped…he took a big breath of air and began to speak:
“The answer to our problems?” Sal questioned Falcone. He was very confused now and worried.
“Gentleman, meet the worst freak and criminal in Gotham yet!! Double homicides and 7 murders, 21 bank robberies…has a taste for the theatrical! Gentlemen, meet the Joker!!” Falcone explains and smiles. He put his chin up high. He was happy. He was the ‘King’ of Gotham again!
“Here’s my card!” the clown freak gave Falcone a card and set in on the table.
The card was a playing card. It had a joker on it with a hat. The hat was yellow and green, a juggler’s hat, with bells on the sides. On its face was a red smile. It had a red/yellow t-shirt on with a staff in the shape of a joker. On the top of the card, in big black capital letters, it said: “JOKER!”
“Are you in gentlemen?” Falcone asked them. He smiled again, still feeling good about being the ‘King’ again.
“We’re in!” Sal replied shaking Falcone’s left hand. Sal smiled.
“I’m in!” Sofia said. She smiled.
“Excellent! Then we’re all in!” Falcone smiled and chuckled. He crossed his fingers.
“So, what’s the plan?” Sal asked the clown freak. He was curious.
“Simple. We kill the BATMAN!” the clown freak replied.
Another gangster crime lord that was new watched.
“Gordon’s ‘gonna love this! He would’ve never guessed this!” the new gangster said. He had short brown hair and blue eyes. He had a tuxedo on, a shirt, black dress pants and brown shiny shoes. His name was unknown. He was new. Little was known about him. He was either a drug lord or crime lord. He went out the door. When he got out of the underground subway tunnel, he went up concrete stairs to the surface. As he walked on the sidewalk, he took off his facemask. He turned around and revealed he was Harvey Dent! Harvey smiled.
Chapter 6
Halloween night:
Later…
Harvey headed to Rachel’s house. He walked on the hard concrete ground. He saw kids going to Rachel’s door. There was one that wore a witch’s hat. She had long, curly brown hair and was holding a pumpkin basket. It had a pumpkin face on it and it was to collect candy in. She was 8-9 years old. She was away from the house laughing and smiling.
On the left side of her was another kid dressed up in a cowboy get-up: gray cowboy hat, a white robber’s mask that covered his mouth and nose but left his eyes exposed, brown leather cowboy boots, a brown cowboy jacket, a yellow cowboy shirt and a bag to hold the candy in. He was about 7 to 8 years old.
Straight in front of him was a kid dressed up as a ghost. He had a gray bag to put the candy in. He had a long white sheet on that covered even his feet; a white mask which covered his mouth, ears, nose and hair, but left his eyes exposed. He was running towards Harvey.
Harvey walked straight ahead. “Hope you guys got a lot of candy!” Harvey tells them.
“We sure did!” the kid in the ghost costume replied. The ghost kid couldn’t see where he was going and ran into Harvey.
“Oops! Sorry!” the kid in the ghost costume apologizes running to the next house to get some candy. His candy basket was halfway full.
As Harvey walked toward the house, Rachel opened the door. Rachel smiled. She was happy Harvey came. Earlier, she invited him over for Halloween.
Harvey walked on the hard concrete sidewalk. On the sides was grass. He walked up purple steps. The house was purple. On each side of the steps were pumpkins with faces…jack-o-lanterns! He walked into the doorway. It was dark blue. He walked up to Rachel and smiled.
Rachel had on a black; low cut dress and silver earrings, the shape of coins. The earrings were exact replicas of a quarter. She had long, dark brown hair, hanging down to her shoulders. She was holding a champagne glass. Harvey kissed her on the lips. Her lips began to move. Her heart beat harder and harder. “I believe in Harvey Dent…I believe in New Gotham!” she said kissing him back, smiling and closing the dark blue door.
At the same time:
John Vitta’s house…
It was a two-story house, located on the south side of Gotham on top of a hill. It was a mansion! The door was silver. Inside, John Vitta was about to take a bath. He opened the blue door with the gold doorknob. He entered his bathroom. He had a white cloth robe on. It had a design on it by his shoulder. It was the design of a roman-soldier head. Inside the design it says, “The Roman.” He bent down to run the bath water. He turned the silver knob on. Hot water began to run. His hair was short and black. His name was Johnny Vitta. He was Falcone’s nephew. He ran Gotham underground on the south side. The floor he stood on was tiled. The wall was green. There was a mirror located on the wall. Under it was a silver faucet sink. The bath water began to overflow. He bent down and shut the handle off. The water stopped running. He was Japanese. He had a Japanese face and blue eyes. He removed his robe. He had very hairy feet and chest. He bent down and put his feet in the tub to see if the water was too hot or too cold. But it was just right! Steam was coming out of the bubbling water. He bent down and got in, leaving his head, chin and upper chest exposed. The rest of his body was covered by the hot bubbling water.
The door creaked open…a mysterious person was there. You could only see his hands, nothing else. He was holding a .22 pistol that used a rubber baby bottle nipple as a silencer. The handle was taped and the serial number filed off. He put his hand on the trigger…he cracked the door open more.
“That was a noise. I wonder who’s there?” Johnny thought taking his bath.
“Who’s there?” Johnny asked the mysterious person.
The gun fired.
“NOOOOOOO!!” Johnny said, his mouth opened with blood starting to cover the bathtub water.
The shooter dropped the weapon on the hard tiled floor with two gold bullets lying beside it. He also left a jack-o-lantern pumpkin beside the weapon. The tub was covered in blood. Johnny was lying back resting his head on the back of the tub as he died. Blood gushed from his mouth as he started to pass out, dropping his head on the side of the tub. Just as Johnny died, he had a button under the water…he pushed it with his left hand…he passed out and died.
Chapter 7
Back at Rachel Doss’ house:
A red Saturn stands outside Rachel’s house…
“Do it!” an anonymous voice said.
“BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!”
Someone pushed a button and Rachel’ house blew up…piece by piece!!
“It’s been done!” the mysterious voice said.
“Good! The boss will be pleased!” another mysterious voice said.
The red Saturn drove away…
