Arrow is too CW and not enough DC.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOIS LANE! Margot Kidder is turning 67 years old today and let's congratulate Lois Lane from Superman (1978) and Superman II (1980). The last time most of us seen her is in two episodes of Smallville in 2004 where she played Bridgette Crosby in Season four Episodes one and six.
So I posted something DC related when someone responded with a Michael B Jordan speech. Normally I let it go by but his words are so darn ignorant that I had to reply. If I'm wrong please correct me but damn it! This bothered me! My apologies if anyone is insulted by this
FanFiction: DCCU Origins by Amandus (Part 5.6) - The Death of Jason Todd 1
THE DEATH OF JASON TODD 1 Previously in #DCCUOrigins in part 5.5: Batman is going after the joker when Killer Croc catches him off guard. Batman was about to fight Killer Croc when Nightwing came in between. Nightwing made clear that Batman should go after the Joker who has Robin. Animal holding area, Gotham Zoo Batman walks trough the darkness, the only ally that can't be defeated. Today Batman has seen two people very close to him, two of his allies be defeated. "It's my fault.. I should have known.. I should have made sure.. How could I ever let him take Jason, my own soldier dragged away by the enemy right under my nose." Bruce follows the blood trail left by Jason. It's dark.. There is not a single light in this place. You can smell the animals that once been here, you can also smell something rotten. Something that has been rotting down here for a while by now. Batman runs past the cages in which the Polar bears once slept after they returned from their time outside in the exhibit. "I can smell it.. death.. it's near.." A body.. in one of the cages lies a body dressed in the Robin costume ripped into pieces. Maggots and other insects feast on the body. On the body sits a bird, a Robin eating the maggots which eat the body. The Food chain in chaos, the way everything is for him. It's hard to tell who this person is but one thing is sure, this isn't Jason Todd. "The body is dead for too long to be Jason It's one of his sick games. He's trying to mess with my mind, trying to make me loose my focus but I won't. I would analyze it using the scanner in my gloves and gauntlets but Dick needed it more than I did. I will end this, with my bare hands if I have to. I will find him.. I must find him.." The blood trail ends.. it's simply gone. It vanished. Not a clew nor a sign of where The Joker took Robin. "AAAAAAARGH" Batman hit's the wall in anger, blood slowly drips down from his knuckles. "He wins.. he defeated me at my own game.. outsmarted me.. He didn't left a clew for me to pick up on. " Batman looks down and sees the leaf laying next to the dead body.
"A Hippeastrum Reginae leaf.." Batman runs off and kicks out the exit door.
The Hippeastrum Reginae is a tropical plant that would never be able to grow anywhere near Gotham, that is except for one place which is the Gotham Zoo Botanical Gardens. The Gardens are located on the other side of the Gotham Zoo. The minimum time to get there at sprint speed would be over five minutes. That is if Batman doesn't run into any of Joker's henchmen who are all over the Gotham Zoo.
Will Batman be on time?
Batman v7 Endgame Panel with Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo
Q&A During Batman Vol 7: Endgame Panel Writer: Scott Snyder Artist: Greg Capullo
Q-“Is there someone more evil in the DCU than the Joker?” A- Greg Capullo: “sometimes when I get Scott’s script I think that HE is! Like, what is he asking me to do? Scott Snyder: "It’s just me, just me” Greg Capullo: “Sometimes, sometimes..”
(My Question)- “First of all I want so say that I really like that you support Frank Miller, totally respect that. My question is.. What were you thinking when you cut off Alfred’s hand? What was your ultimate goal with that?” A - Greg Capullo: “TO SHOW THAT HE’S EVIL!” Scott Snyder: “I wanted to show in some ways that without Bruce as Batman, which was still coming. There was no real reason for there to be a sort of ‘right hand’ of the King. So Alfred doesn’t need two hands to serve anymore because Bruce isn’t Batman. But when Bruce comes back.. If he ever comes back, which he never will.. Ever.. ever.. It will be always commissioner Gordon. You know if he were to come back I imagine Alfred would again need the other hand.. or a hand.. or a.. Cyborg hand.. some hand of some kind.” Q- “Is it easier to draw one handed Alfred?” Greg Capullo: “uhh yeah.. It’s one less thing to draw! If Alfred would lose a leg, and then another leg then he would be just a head in a jar. That’s easier to draw! ”

FanFiction: DCCU Origins by Amandus (Part 5.5) Nightwing’s Revenge
NIGHTWING’S REVENGE Previously in part 5.4: Killer Croc storms towards Batman, leaving Batman no option but to defend. Batman activates the tasers in gauntlets and is ready to fight him. Croc gets a hold of Batman’s cape and throws him against the rocks. Killer Croc: “YOU’LL DIE BY MY HANDS, TONIGHT!!” Batman crawls up, fighting off the hyenas* have taken strength out of him. Killer Croc walks towards Batman and picks grabs him by the throat. He walks towards the ledge of what used to be the pool of the polar bears.
Killer Croc: “I expected more of a fight, Batman.” Batman while choking up: “Son argh-ofabitch” Killer Croc: “You have some fight left in you. Good.. This way I don't mind BREAKING YOU!” Killer Croc let’s go of Batman and raises his arms, ready to smash Batman into the rocks. Killer Croc: “SAY GOODBYE, BATMAN!” [*The Hyena’s from part 5.4] Batman looks up and says: “Goodbye” Suddenly Killer Croc get’s jumped in his back and falls in the empty pool. Killer Croc: “WHAT!? WHERE ARE YOU?! I WILL CRUSH YOU!” Nightwing walks to the edge of the pool. Nightwing: “It’s not Batman you got to be worried about. It’s me.” Nightwing helps Batman up on his feet. Nightwing whispering: “Go after Jason, Bruce. I got this.” Batman nods and makes his way to the door where Joker took off with Robin. He drops his gauntlets along the way.
Nightwing walks towards the ledge of the pool and looks down on killer croc.
Killer Croc: “Ha ha ha, look at this. Taking the place of the bats, are we? I HAVE TAKEN YOU DOWN BEFORE AND I WILL DO IT AGAIN. I WANTED THE BAT BUT TAKING YOU DOWN TWICE WILL DO JUST FINE!” Nightwing: “Bring it on, Croc.” Nightwing jumps down into the pool and lands on top of croc, he wraps his legs around Croc’s neck and takes him down. Killer Croc quickly jumps up and swings around him with punches. Nightwing dodges all off them. Killer Croc: “YOU LITTLE BRAT! YOU ARE NOTHING COMPARED TO ME! NOTHING! AND YOU’RE NOT LIKE HIM EITHER, LIKE THE BAT! YOU’RE A WANNABE!” Killer Croc climbs up to the fence of the exhibit and breaks off the bars. He throws them at Nightwing but even though Nightwing is wounded dodging these bars of steel thrown at him is not a problem. Nightwing: “THAT’S HOW YOU PLAN ON DEFEATING ME? ARE YOU EVEN TRYING THIS TIME!?” Killer Croc: “IS IT MORE YOU WANT!? -AAAAAAAARGH” Croc picks up a gigantic rock and holds its above his head. Nightwing in thoughts: “Well done, Dick. Smart move.” Killer Croc throws the rock at Nightwing and Nighwing jumps back, the Rock cracks and shatters the glass of the pool pushing Nightwing trough it. Killer Croc: “YOU HAVE BEEN DEFEATED! YOU ARE NO BATMAN! HA HA HA HA!!” Nightwing: “Thats right, I’M NIGHTWING!” Nightwing jumps over the rock and trough the gap in the glass holding two of the metal bars straight at Killer Croc. He goes into hand to hand combat with Killer Croc. Nightwing: “YOU MIGHT BE BIG BUT YOU’RE SLOW!” He hits the pressure point on the neck of Killer Croc and dives towards Batman’s gauntlets. Nightwing: “YOU MIGHT HAVE TOUGH SKIN BUT THIS IS GONNA HURT!” He makes a back flip and jumps trough the legs of Killer Croc and hits him as hard as he can in his testicles and activates the tasers in the gauntlets of Batman. Electrocuting Killer Croc and thereby taking him down. Nightwing, bruised and broken stands up and walks away from the unconscious Killer Croc. He takes a look at the trail of blood leading to the door in which Batman followed the Joker "Go get him Bruce, I believe in you"
He opens the gauntlet left by batman and contacts the batcave “Penny-One, come in. This is Nightwing” Alfred Pennyworth: “NIGHTWING, WHERE ARE YOU? WHERE ARE BATMAN AND RO-” Nightwing: “Please Alfred.. calm down. Batman is after the Joker. I alerted the GCPD but I need you to get me out of here Alfred. I feel.. broken.. Sending my location now.” Alfred Pennyworth: “On my way, master Richard” Nightwing sits down and looks up, he closes his eyes and lets the rain wash the blood off his face. He is broken. Mentally and physically.

Batman has been brought to the Gotham Zoo by the Joker. The Joker has both Robin and Nightwing and threatens to kill both if Batman ruins his re-opening of the zoo. Batman gave up his utility belt and now stands behind 11 inch thick glass of the crocodile exhibit where Killer Croc has his hands on a tied up Nightwing. 03:45AM Gotham Zoo, Gotham City Batman: “NIGHTWING, NO!!” Batman drops one of his hidden batarangs into his hand and throws it at the glas. The Joker: “HA HA HA HA!! Did you REALLY think you could BREAK this glass!? But really though.. didn’t we have a rule about your toys, Bats..” Killer Croc: “LET ME HAVE THE BOY, JOKER!” The Joker: “SHUT UP! What’s with the crocodile tears? You’ll have him once I TELL YOU THAT YOU CAN!! IF YOU STAND UP TO ME AGAIN I’LL TURN YOU IN TO A PURSE HA HA!! YOU’RE RUINING IT!” Killer Croc walks out of the water and towards Nightwing’s body and picks it up. The Joker: “It seems like the crocodile wants to eat his meal inside. Let’s move on shall we? HA HA!!” Batman can’t do anything but watch. He stands completely powerless in this situation. “Think Bruce, there must be a solution.. there always is. Must find Joker’s location. Can’t be far, the speakers of the park are too old to be controlled wireless.” The Joker: “OUR NEXT EXHIBIT IS MY PERSONAL FAVORITES!HA HA HA!! THE HYENAS WITH A SLIGHT TOUCH OF JOKER VENOM! HA HA !! THEY ARE BIGGER! THEY ARE STRONGER!! AND THEY LAUGH.. ALL! THE! TIME! HA HA HA!!” Batman arrived at what used to be the old polar bear exhibit. Deep canals surround the exhibit to make sure the animals don’t leave. It’s a rocky environment.. the hyenas are caged.. it must be over 20 of them. The Joker has their cages covered with blankets but you can hear them laugh..
Batman: “STOP THE MADNESS JOKER, WHAT DO YOU WANT!?” The Joker: “Oh I just want to have A. GOOD. TIME. wih my best pall in the world.” Batman: “WHERE ARE THEY!?” The Joker: “HA HA HA!! Always so aggressive! So much better than that boy wonder of yours HA!! He’s a bit of scavenger compared to us predators, bats.. That is why he would fit right in with my very own scavengers! HA HA HA HA !!” The Joker’s men remove the blankets and open the cages. The hyenas run out and the first thing they do is take down the Joker’s men. The Joker: “HA HA!! THAT’S IT BOYS!! HAVE A LITTLE APPETIZER FOR YOUR DINNER IS COMING! HA HA HA HA!!” From the top of the rocky fake mountains of the exhibit the Joker appears. Holding Robin’s body tied up in ropes, he throws it down the rocks towards the hungry hyenas. The hyenas, covered in blood look up and see Robin rolling down towards them. Batman jumps over the fence and into the exhibit he fights his way trough the hungry beasts. Robin is trying to crawl away but two hyenas get a hold of his legs, dragging him further away from Batman. Batman doesn’t have any mercy for the animals as he snaps their necks and kicks in their skulls. The Joker: “OH! BAM! WHAM! AUCH!! HA HA HA HA!! THAT’S IT BATMAN! SHOW THEM WHO’S BOSS!!”
Batman reaches for his boot and pulls out a batarang which he throws straight for the Joker. It’s an explosive batarang. -BOOOOM!!- He throws a second batarang which frees Robin’s from his ropes. The explosion knocked the Joker down into the bloody arena in which Batman and Robin are fighting off the hyenas on joker venom. “NO!! AAARGH! NO!! NO!! NO!!” The Joker screams as he crawls up from the rocks and makes his way towards Robin. The Joker: “THIS ISN’T HOW IT GOES, BATMAN!! YOU RUINED IT!!” Two of the hyenas on Joker venom jump Batman from the back and keep him down. He shoots his last batarangs from his gaunlets into the head and chest of the hyenas on his back. Robin who is being dragged in his own blood by a hyena stares in terror at Batman as the Joker Pulls out his knife and stabs the Hyena who is holding Robin in the head. “SORRY BOY!! THIS ONE IS MINE!! HA HA!!” The Joker grabs Robin and pulls him up. Batman kills the last of the animals left and there’s nothing in between him and the Joker anymore.
Batman: “IT ENDS HERE!!” The Joker (out of breath): “Eh.. oh..Really? We go out without a bang? HA HA!! BRING HIM, CROC!! NOW!!” Killer Croc walks up with the beat up body of Nightwing. Holding him by his head. Batman: “THIS IS BETWEEN US JOKER, LET THEM GO!” The Joker: “OF COURSE IT IS BETWEEN US BATMAN! CAN’T YOU SEE THEY ARE KEEPING US APART!? THEY ARE HOLDING US BACK! I AM YOUR FRIEND, BATS!! HA HA HA!!” Batman: “YOU’RE NOTHING TO ME!” The Joker: “I’ll prove my friendship to you.. once and for all.. I’ll let you keep one of the birds.. HA HA!! Just one though Batman!!” Robin: “Batma- Please” as he coughs up blood. The Joker puts his knife on Robins mouth. “Uh-Uh we don’t want to influence his choice now do we!? HA HA!!” Killer Croc: “I’M TIRED OF THESE DAMN GAMES, JOKER!! BATMAN IS MINE!” Killer Croc drops Nightwing and storms towards Batman, leaving Batman no option but to defend. Batman activates the tasers in his knuckles and is ready to fight Croc.
The Joker: “ROBIN AND I WOULD LOVE TO HANG AROUND!! BUT IT SEEMS LIKE WE’RE LATE FOR OUR DATE!! HA HA HA!!”
Batman: “JOKER!!!” Batman tries to run after the Joker who drags Robin’s bloody body inside. Killer Croc grabs a hold of Batman’s cape and throws him against the rocks. Killer Croc: “YOU’LL DIE BY MY HANDS, TONIGHT!!”
FanFiction: DCCU Origins by Amandus (Part 5.3) Gotham Zoo

The Joker is standing in the rain under the archway of Gotham Zoo. “Let's get the bird to his cage boys.” One of Joker's henchmen is holding the unconscious Robin over his shoulder.

Batman: "I have eyes on the zoo. Moving in now." Alfred: "Batman, there seems to be lot's of activity within the zoo. He's not alone." Batman: "I'm going rogue. I'll contact you once I have Robin." Alfred: "BATMAN, THIS IS NOT THE TI-" Batman turns off his ear piece and stops the batmobile in front of the entrance of Gotham Zoo. He get's out of the car and makes his way towards the gate. There's a welcome sign hanging on the gate, welcome is written in blood. He takes a blood sample and scans it as he opens the gate. [DNA Match: Daniel Timm, Security Guard at Gotham Zoo. 56 Years old] "Come on Bruce, get your head in the game. You made one mistake tonight, don't make another one."
The Joker: "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! I AM GLAD YOU COULD ALL MAKE IT TO THE GRAND REOPENING HA HA HA! WE WILL HAVE SEVERAL NEW ANIMALS ON DISPLAY TONIGHT. FOLLOW THE SIGNS AND YOU'LL SEE THEM ALL! Go off the path and the bird dies.. SO LET'S GO TO THE CROCODILES SHALL WE!? HA HA HA !!" Batman makes his way trough the entery of the zoo and a loud alarm goes off. The Joker: "UUUUUURGHHHHH It seems like you brought your toys inside our civilian recreation area HA HA HA! Take off the belt and you may proceed. One of the animal keepers will take it to a place where you can pick it up on your way out HA HA!!"
Batman drops his belt and continues his way into the zoo, following the signs which are placed for him. One of Joker's henchmen shows up in a zoo outfit and picks up the utility belt. "Can't take the risks. Can't keep the belt on, can't go off the path. Patience, Bruce.. You'll find him." The Joker: "WELCOME TO THE CROCODILES EXHIBIT! SAY BATS.. WHAT DO YOU CALL A DETECTIVE CROCODILE? ... AN INVESTI-GATOR HA HA HA HA!!" Batman walks by the crocodile cage and down to the aquarium where you can look in the water of the exhibit. The Joker: "It seems like our little crocodile is hungry. FEEDING TIME! HA HA HA!!” Out of the shadows in the water swims Killer Croc! Joker's henchmen walk in with a big wooden box. They open it up with a crowbar and Nightwing is laying inside. Beat up and tied up. Killer Croc: "THE BOY IS MINE, BATMAN!" Batman: "NIGHTWING, NO!"
FanFiction: DCCU Origins by Amandus (Part 5.2) The Search for Robin
The Search for Robin 02:14AM The Narrows, Gotham City Batman, Robin and Nightwing escorted two prison transfers of The Joker and Killer Croc from Gotham to Metropolis. Batman and Nightwing escorted the Joker and Robin was tasked with escorting Killer Croc. Or so they thought.. It turned out that there had been a swap which Batman wasn’t aware of. The Joker somehow found a way to turn this prison transfer into an escape*. Robin is unconscious and Joker on the loose, Batman is on his way to the Narrows after he seen the Joker standing next to Robin’s body. [* Read part 5.1] Nightwing: “Batman what happened down there!?” Batman: “Stay with Killer Croc. I’ll handle this” Batman is on his way to Robin’s last known location. “How could I be so blind. I should have known. Should have stayed with him.“ He arrives at the Narrows but there is nothing to see. Nothing but a card on the floor, his card.. the Joker. Batman spots someone in a nearby alley and chases him. He stops the person and turns him around to look at him. The man looks up and Batman and laughs. "THE BIRD HAS A BROKEN WING, HA” “THE BI-” Batman: “WHERE DID HE TAKE HIM!?” Laughing man: “THE B- HAHA BIRD HAS A BR HA BROKEN WING HAHA!” Batman pulls out a batarang and places it on the man’s throat. The fear can be seen in the eyes of the man, he looks terrified but won’t stop laughing.
Laughing man: “Batman pl- HAHA THE BIRD HAS A BROKEN- help m- HAHA WING” Batman: “WHERE IS HE!?” The man isn’t in any condition to be questioned.. Batman makes his way towards the Batmobile when he suddenly hears the laughter of the man come to an end. Batman looks back and sees him on the floor, some sort of foam is coming out of his mouth. Then the silence is killed by a more familiar laughter. The man now on the floor spitting out foam and blood is holding chattering teeth. It is the laugh of the Joker. Batman walks towards the man and picks up chattering teeth. He breaks it in his hands and finds a tiny coin within the shattered toy. The coin is a collectible of the Gotham Zoo. Batman: “Penny One, He has Robin at the Gotham Zoo. Nightwing, escort killer croc to Metropolis. We can’t have two high security prisoners on the loose.” Nightwing: “Understood.”
FanFiction: DCCU Origins by Amandus (Part 5.1)
THE TRANSFER Two high security patients from Arkham Asylum are being moved to Lex Corp Mental Hospitals located in Metropolis. Batman however realized that this move is another step in the plan of Lex Corp and Amanda Waller to realize what they call Task Force X. To make sure the transfer of the Joker and Killer Croc goes as planned Batman, Robin and Nightwing will follow the trailers in which the criminals are being transferred. 01:00 Arkham Asylum, Gotham City Robin: “Any sight on the trucks, Batman?”
Batman: “Patience, Robin. The decoy transfer happened three hours ago. It shouldn’t be long until the actual transfer will take place.” Robin: “Three hours of incredible boredom it has been. I never had such a calm night in Gotham.” Batman: “Let’s hope it stays calm throughout the night. There they are, get in position.” Robin gets in position to put a tracking device on the truck which he will be following. Batman and Nightwing will follow the truck which transports the Joker. Robin is assigned with escorting the truck holding Killer Croc, a slightly less dangerous criminal. The two trucks exit trough the gates of Arkham Asylum and split up as expected. Batman and Nightwing escort the Joker. Robin gets on his bike and follows the truck.
Robin (Thoughts): “It should be me beside Batman. I am just as skilled as that circus act. I have been Robin for over three years. Why doesn’t the man trust me yet..” It remains a calm night for Robin so far. That is until the truck enters the center of Gotham. Batman: “Robin, come in. There has been an accident on your route. The truck will drive trough the narrows. Do you need assistance?” Robin: “I grew up here Batman, I got this.”
Nightwing: “He’ll be fine Batman. Robin knows what he’s doing.”
The roads within the center of Gotham City have been blocked. The truck is forced to make a shortcut trough the worst neighborhood of Gotham, The Narrows. This is where Batman met Jason Todd for the first time. A young street punk who, at a young age was man enough to try to steal parts of the Batmobile.
Robin is still following the truck when he suddenly sees a burning vehicle coming their way. An ice-cream truck covered in flames is heading for them and drives straight into the truck with Killer Croc. Robin tries to dodge the truck that suddenly has been brought to a stop and crashes his bike into it. Batman: “ROBIN, WHY HAVE YOU STOPPED!? ROBIN, COME IN.” Batman stops the batmobile in front of the truck transporting the Joker and jumps out. Nightwing: “Batman, what are you doing!?” Batman throws an explosive batarang at the back of the trucks and the doors blow open. They see Killer Croc covered in chains and a scared prison guard holding a tranquilizer. Batman immediately runs back to the Batmobile. Batman: “PENNY ONE! THEY SWITCHED! GIVE ME ANY LIVE FEED COMING FROM ROBIN’S LOCATION NOW. STREET CAMERA’S CELLPHONE VIDEOS ANYTHING!” Alfred: “Sending you street security live footage now, batman.” Alfred sends a live camera feed from Robin’s location in The Narrows. It shows something horrifying. The truck has been opened, the Joker is standing by the unconscious body of Robin. He kicks over Robin to his back and looks straight into the security camera. He shows a smile and shoots the camera. Batman is left powerless watching the live feed go down. “No..”

Bruce Wayne has been handed a list of two patients of Arkham Asylum who have to be transferred to Lex Corp Mental Hospitals. It is the night of the transfer. In the batcave Bruce is looking at the list with Nightwing and Robin. Luthor asked for two specific criminals, two high security criminals. The Joker and Killer Croc.
Jason Todd: “So why does Luthor want these wacko’s again, Bruce?”
Bruce Wayne: “He’s working together with a powerful woman named Amanda Waller.”
Dick Grayson & Jason Todd: “Mockingbird.”
Bruce Wayne: “I see that you’re familiar with her codename.”
Dick Grayson: “I walked into her with Jason when we were on a mission out of town. We were following the Riddler in Detroit when we met her. She told us that we were out of our league a-”
Bruce Wayne: “I’ve read the action report, Dick.”
Dick Grayson: “So why do you even let me st-“
Bruce Wayne: ” Lex Corp recently had Captain Boomerang removed from Central City Prison, el diablo from Star City and katana flown over from Tokyo.”
Dick Grayson: “Don’t cut me off again, but why would Luthor collect the craziest villains out there?”
Bruce Wayne: “Task Force X. A group of criminals working undercover for Amanda Waller, the Riddler been under her watch for quite some time now. Which explains why you and Jason been called off by the government that night in Detroit.”
Jason Todd: “How will she even control them? You can’t control that many criminals all at the same time.”
Bruce Wayne: “This is where Lex Corp comes in. I have been looking into the research of Lex Corp. It looks like they’re investing into some kind of remote controlled explosive which can be planted in the spine.”
Dick Grayson: “So if they turn on Waller, she just blows them up?”
Jason Todd: “That’s obviously what she’ll do,circus boy.”
Dick Grayson: “Watch your mouth Jason before I kick your a-”
Bruce Wayne: “Shut it, both of you.”
Alfred makes his way into the cave holding a tray with sandwiches and hot tea. Alfred: “May I suggest that you two have a quick meal before heading out there.”
Dick Grayson: “Sure! Did you make those deliciou-”
Bruce Wayne: “I’m heading out now, Alfred. See you on patrol, nightwing.”
Dick Grayson: “Don’t wait up! I’ll take your sandwiches too if you don’t mind!”
Bruce puts on the cowl and Jason puts on his mask, they jumpin in the batmobile and take off into the tunnels. Alfred is left by the bat-computer with Dick Grayson.
Alfred: “Don’t feel offended by him, master Richard. If anyone knows what it’s like to walk beside Batman it would be you. The boy is under pressure. Being Robin isn’t easy.“
Dick Grayson with his mouth full: ” mm-mm, at least now that I’m doing my own thing I have time to stay behind for your meals, Alfred.“
Alfred walks back up the stairs to Wayne Manor as Dick get’s ready to head out as Nightwing. Dick takes off on his bike and Alfred takes a quick look back. “Boys will be boys..”

I CAME FOR A FAVOR Wayne Tower, Gotham
(A year before Man of Steel in DCCU Timeline) Bruce Wayne has been corporate leader of Wayne Enterprises for over 19 years now. Another billionaire in Metropolis pays him a ‘personal’ visit. Lex Luthor: “It is good to see you again, Bruce. I hope I’m not interrupting you with anything.” Bruce Wayne: “Likewise, Lex. And you’re not interrupting, how can I help you.” Lex Luthor: “ It’s simple, I like to keep by business partners close, Bruce.” Bruce Wayne: “I would ask you how business is going but the recent technological achievements of not only your company but also by you answer that question just fine. Would you like a drink, Lex? Lex Luthor: “I won’t be staying long. I just came to ask you for a favor.” Bruce Wayne: “Lex Luthor coming down from big bright Metropolis into the shadows of Gotham to ask Bruce Wayne for a favor, And here I thought I've seen it all. Go on, Lex.” (while pouring a drink for himself) Lex Luthor (walks around the office of Bruce and stops by the window.) “How come you’re office is located in Gotham? You have an extraordinaire building built in the heart of Metropolis. Why live in this dump.” Bruce Wayne: “This ‘dump’ is my home, this is where I feel l should be. Wayne Enterprises might operate most in Metropolis but it will never again turn it’s back on it’s roots. Roots are what makes a tree stand strong, Lex.” Lex Luthor: “And so it explains why the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” Bruce Wayne: “What are you really here for?” Lex Luthor: “I need you to support me on something, I figure that you would be familiar with the Lex Corp Mental Hospitals?” Bruce Wayne: “Yes, your work is quite impressive.” Lex Luthor: “Thank you, Bruce. I am aware of the fact that Wayne Enterprises funded the re-opened Arkham Asylum. It has been open for a 15 years and it’s already overflowing. You and your friend are sure cleaning up these streets.” Bruce Wayne: “Thank you. It’s open for 17 years now and we are trying our best to keep this city safe. We work closely with commissionaire Gordon of the GCPD and Wa-” Lex Luthor: “ I’m not talking about you and the GCPD. Sorry for interrupting you but I’m pretty sure that you now about what cooperation I’m talking. I took a look into your wallet, Bruce. I have seen what Wayne Enterprises has been funding. I have seen WHO they have been funding and I am damn sure that you wouldn’t want the press to know that your dear company is funding this vigilante.. this Bat of Gotham.” Bruce Wayne: “Tell me.” Lex Luthor: “Tell you what?” Bruce Wayne: “The favor, what do you need.” Lex Luthor: “There’s a two specific criminals.. Patients of Arkham to be more precise, which I would like to have transferred to Lex Corp Mental Hospitals. If you want to keep running your cleaning business with the vigilante you do as I say. Here’s a list of the patients. I’ll stay in touch.. Oh and Bruce, always happy doing business with you.” Luthor walks away and is awaited by his sister in the hallway. Bruce Wayne is left behind sitting on his desk, reading the list of patience requested by Luthor. As soon as the Luthor closes the door, a furious Bruce Wayne throws his glass against the wall.

A study he completed but never planned on using any of his skills, he much rather chased his dream of becoming a successful actor. Yet here he is, driving towards Bruce Wayne. Not knowing what to expect. He sees Batman leaning on a fence with a man unknown to him laying next to him. “This is him.. this is the person who shot Thomas and Martha.” Alfred grabs his shotgun and steps out of the car. “DO NOT MOVE YOU SON OF A-” BATMAN: “STOP! He’s unconscious…” Alfred: “Mast- I mean Batman, are you alright?” BATMAN: “I’m fine Alfred. Let’s get him to the hospital.” Alfred: “I beg your pardon!? You must be out of your mind if you think that I’ll take this scum in the car.” BATMAN: “Just do it, drop him off at the hospital. Something tells me that justice will come upon him soon.” Alfred: “As you wish..” Together they put Joe Chill in the backseat of the Bentley. They drive to Gotham’s hospital and put Joe Chill against a wall a block away. “911 How can I help you?” Alfred: “There’s an unconcious man named Joe Chill laying in the streets right around the corner of Gotham’s General Hospital. He needs help.” BATMAN: “Thanks, Alfred.” Alfred: “Now I believe that I should have dropped you off there too, master Bruce. Your injuries look pretty darn serious as well.” BATMAN: “Nothing I can’t fix myself. I’ll use the healing time as a moment to think this trough, I need the time.” A sigh of relief is heard by both men, followed by a long silence.
Alfred: You did it, master Bruce. You found your calling.

REVENGE OR JUSTICE 03:20AM The Kane Bridge, Gotham City
“You did it, Bruce. You struck fear into him. He committed horrible crimes in his paste though.. I shouldn’t have let him get off so easy. Focus.. Can’t lose my focus now. I’m too close. Tonight is the night.” <p>Batman is riding towards the of Gotham to find the man who killed his parents. To bring him to justice.
“Take it easy. The roads might be empty but that doesn’t make it safe. This storm makes it hard to drive. I can barely see 20 ft ahead. Closing in on the harbor. Should leave the motorcycle here. Can’t let the noise alert him.” Batman speeds down an exit towards the Gotham harbor. He gets off his motorcycle and makes his way trough the shadows towards the old harbor’s gates. “Locked, that water tower should be steady enough for the grappling hook.” Batman silently glides trough the air across the fence. The rain is dripping down his face. You can hear the drops hit the cape. It’s like a count down. Bruce feels it.. He’s close. “Most warehouses are abandoned. The Metropolis harbor took over all import and export. Nobody wants their good going trough Gotham any more. Too many have given up on this city.” Batman spots a light in the lighthouse. The only light to be seen at the docks. “Gotham’s harbor once was the most modern of its kind. Wayne Enterprises had their own docking station where trains would stop to collect bulk import. My father showed me once, I was just a boy but I remember it like it was yesterday. Focus Bruce, he’s here.” “A FLASHBACK” Batman is about to face the man who killed his parents, Joe Chill. The only way up is by ladder. Batman climbs up the ladder. It’s an old wooden lighthouse which hasn’t been used since the docks been closed. As he made his way to the first floor of the lighthouse he hears a cracking noise. He jumps off the ladder and sees it fall over. The loud bangs of the thunder cover the sound. The storm seems even worse here by the water. There’s no way down. Just one door between Batman and his parents killed. Batman kicks in the door. He catches Joe Chill by surprise as he is about to inject himself with a needle. Joe drops the needle and looks up to Batman. He’s in shock, terrified and helpless. BATMAN: “WHAT IS YOUR NAME.” He storms in and grabs Joe Chill by his neck. Throws him around the small room in which Joe Chill made his home. BATMAN: “WHAT DID YOU DO TO THOMAS AND MARTHA WAYNE. TELL ME.” Batman gets hold of Joe Chill by his hair and slams his head into an old desk. Joe Chill: “Aaargh! I don’t know what y-y-your t-talking about. I swear!” BATMAN: “DON’T LIE TO ME. YOU’RE A COLD BLOODED KILLER. YOU KILLED THOMAS AND MARTHA WAYNE!” Joe Chill: “I WAS YOUNG! PLEASE ST-” Batman grabs Joe Chill by his shirt and lifts him up in the air. BATMAN: “SAY IT!” Joe Chill: “I DID IT! IT WAS A MISTAKE! I NEEDED THE MONEY. PLEASE STOP.” Batman let go of Joe Chill. ‘He’s right here Bruce, you finally have your hands on the person who killed your parents. Finish it.’ Joe Chill is rolled up in a corner.. Covered in blood and bruises. A pool of pee surrounds him as he begs for mercy. Batman walks up to Joe Chill and suddenly stops. 'This man is a nobody. He is a nobody and he took everything away from me. My mother.. My fath-“ Batman gets a sudden flashback. He sees himself as a young boy sitting on his fathers shoulder. <p>Thomas Wayne: This harbor will once be yours Bruce. You will help this city be build. You will shine bright on this city like your mom and I try to. You will guide these people to a better world.” Bruce Wayne: “But how? There’s so many of them. How can I make all their lives brighter?” Thomas Wayne: “The truth is that you can’t Bruce. It’s part of being human to have flaws. Some people don’t want to be helped. Some people don’t need help but guidance. Being guide to do good.”
Bruce Wayne: “Father, why isn’t everyone in Gotham guiding each other then?”
Thomas Wayne: “You’re a smart young man, Bruce. It’s because some people don’t have a role-model in their lives. They have no one to look up to. You can be that person for them.”
Bruce Wayne: “But how?”
Thomas Wayne: “Follow your true calling, follow your heart.”
