Bruce Wayne was such a popular and successful socialite and businessman in Gotham City, that no one suspected he harboured a dark past and was haunted by the memory of his murdered parents from whom he inherited most of his incredible wealth. Gotham City, meanwhile, was becoming more and more seedy, and a new breed of criminal was surfacing, and Bruce was brooding about what to do about these new ominously unusual 'super-villains.' Bruce decided he would prowl around Gotham at night on the weekends in a mask and costume and call himself Batman, tackling these new evil-doers as an urban vigilante. Bruce/Batman was about to be tested by a host of hellraisers, and his only ally was the wise old Commissioner Gordon of the GCPD, who would give Batman calming advice about how not to become a monster or rogue vigilante while tackling these radical 'super-villains.'
The first nemesis Batman had to tackle was Leatherface, a chainsaw-wielding cannibal who escaped from a mental institution and was running around Gotham calling himself the 'Scarecrow.' Leatherface/Scarecrow wore a gruesome mask made out of the skin of dead animals, and he believed his chainsaw was a sacred weapon meant to grab people's attention and force them to deal with the darker instincts of humanity. Batman knew that to undo the fear aura of Leatherface/Scarecrow, he would have to arrest and humiliate him in public, so Gothamites would not feel so anxious about a super-psycho running around unchecked by the public. Batman tracked Leatherface/Scarecrow down one Saturday night, while the maniac was chasing two police officers in an alley with his terrifying chainsaw at 4 a.m. Batman ran after the psycho and used his rope-gun to tie his legs up and then more rope to tie up his body and disarm the evil brute. The cops saw everything and reported to the police that Batman was a heroic vigilante that night.
Batman's next challenge was to stop the Red Hood Gang, a wily and devious group of masked Gotham bandits who performed circus-like bank robberies, which were hyped in the press, much to their ghoulish delight. Batman decided to stake out Gotham Bank one Saturday night after receiving a tip that the Red Hood Gang was planning a hit. When the Red Hood Gang pulled up in their van outside the bank and got out with machine guns, Batman started spraying them with darts coated with a sleeping potion and then called the GCPD with his mobile Bat-phone. When the police arrived, they found the members of the Red Hood Gang lying asleep and tied up outside Gotham Bank. Batman was gone, but the press conjectured that Batman performed the heroic deed. Back at Wayne Manor, Bruce wondered if the inside tip on the Red Hood Gang was supplied by the crime-curious secretary of the unscrupulous Gotham businessman Max Shreck named Selina Kyle, a very 'cat-like' woman.
Batman now had to deal with another rising super-villain named Mad Hatter who was broadcasting pirate radio signals with messages such as, "I intend to plant bombs in Gotham cop cars, unless the mayor agrees to let me take his wife out on a date!" The messages were obviously sardonic and ridiculous and meant to poke fun at the general jurisprudence vulnerabilities in Gotham City. Batman decided to use Wayne Enterprises to send out special marketing radio messages such as, "We are proud that the Gotham mayor is one of our most prized hair-tonic customers!" Batman then staked out cosmetics stores on Saturday night and waited for the Mad Hatter to show up to perform an anti-social act of vandalism, since the loon could not resist destroying a cosmetics store as an act of retaliation against the Wayne Enterprises cosmetics radio ads. Sure enough, Mad Hatter showed up (alone in his car), and Batman jumped onto the hood of his car, used his grappling hook to break through the windshield and grabbed the Mad Hatter and hauled him off to Arkham Asylum, Gotham's maximum security incarceration center for the criminally insane where Leatherface/Scarecrow and the Red Hood Gang were also being held for treatment.
Batman then had to tackle the vile eco-terrorist Ra's al Ghul and his League of Assassins who were planning to vandalize Gotham supermarkets and the water refinery as an act of anti-establishment defiance. Batman predicted the attack, since he knew that Gotham was developing dangerous sentiments towards anti-industrialization terrorism, and he knew of Ra's al Ghul and his obsession with eco-terrorism. Batman had Jim Gordon stake out Gotham supermarkets on the same night that the attack on the water refinery was predicted, and Batman himself staked out the water refinery. When Ra's and his League showed up, Batman cast his giant net and then sprayed the trapped goons with his sleeping-potion darts. As Ra's and his League minions were being carted off to Arkham Asylum, Jim Gordon's forces apprehended more members of the League who were attempting to vandalized Gotham's supermarkets that same night.
Alfred, Bruce Wayne's butler, told Bruce one Friday night that he received a death-threat by phone call. The caller said, "We are Joker and Harley Quinn, and if Wayne Enterprises does not help us use their funds and influences to unmask the vigilante Batman, we will stalk Wayne's butler Alfred Pennyworth!" Batman was horrified and immediately began to search for this new evil duo. Batman suspected that such a pair would be hiding out in the old abandoned warehouse at the edge of Gotham, where they could use old phone wires to tap into connected lines and make all kinds of terrifying prank calls, like the one they made to Alfred. Batman broke into the warehouse on a Saturday night and found Joker and Harley Quinn inside, dressed up as gruesome clowns and doing drugs and laughing. Batman tied them up and hauled them off to Arkham and told Commissioner Gordon that these two were much more dangerous than they seemed, since they intended to undermine Gotham's more vulnerable side of social life.
Finally, Batman had to deal with the evil Bane, a steroids-pumped monster who attacked police officers who could not handle his adrenaline-rushed overpowering strength. Cops simply were frozen in fear as the brute ran towards them, and the evildoer managed to kill one cop simply by punching him very hard in his neck, breaking it instantly. Batman prowled around for Bane for four whole weekends with no sign, since Bane was hiding out after the cop killing and rarely showed his face until the moment of random attack on police officers. Batman decided to stake out the Gotham City police station and simply choose cars at random to follow and hope he followed the one that Bane would stalk. One weekend, Batman got lucky and recognized the evil Bane running towards the parked cop car which Batman chose to follow. Batman jumped out of his camouflaged vehicle and used his rope-gun to tie up Bane's arm and then yanked it hard enough to cause the brute to fall down. Batman then jumped onto Bane and then tied him up, and the cops hauled the sedated monster off to Arkham Asylum.
Batman met with Commissioner Gordon and promised him that Wayne Enterprises would invest the necessary funds to ensure that the incarceration and treatment of this new batch of Gotham City 'super-villains' (Leatherface, Red Hood Gang, Mad Hatter, Ra's al Ghul, Joker, Harley Quinn, and Bane) would create sanity and order and medical (as well as jurisprudence) optimism. Arkham would receive the best personnel and only the most qualified criminal psychologists and psychiatrists from places such as Harvard University and Johns Hopkins University. Batman and Gordon were both happy, and Batman felt that his crusade against this new tide of crime as an urban vigilante would bring the people of Gotham hope that maniacs can be effectively controlled with doses of relentless vigilance. Meanwhile, however, a new Gotham City eco-terrorist named Poison Ivy was choosing her modes of operation and quietly planning to poison the Gotham water reservoir with dangerous levels of psychoactive drugs, intending to prove that Gothamites were simply hallucinating about industrialization sanity. Batman's work had just begun, and Poison Ivy was scheming to break out the unsightly maniacs from Arkham Asylum.
