[COLOR=DARKGRAY][b]"Memo to Self: Never get a sidekick of my own."[/b][/color]
[i]Where to begin with this one? The idea is that Batman emerged during the late 60's in Gotham. A Myth, a demon, a ghost story of the criminal underbelly of the gothic city. No one had managed to get a clear picture of the violent vigilante in those 30 years. The cops had never managed to get him, but there were murmurs that he was working with some within the Police to bring down corruption within the law enforcement. But sometime in the 90's, he vanished, and Gotham went back to the way it had been before the Caped Crusader ever put on the cowl, before the Bat was something young Thugs said to scare each other in the late hours of the night before a heist.

This idea is heavily influenced by Batman Beyond, kind of a ode to it. Timothy Drake was a kid in his late teen years, a genius and a kid who never really had a worry in his life, his parents successful and almost as loaded as the aged Mr.Wayne. Till a competitor killed Tim's parents, and he washed up on the doorstep of Wayne Manor, having figured out that not only was The Batman real, but he was Bruce Wayne.

He blackmailed the old man into training him, Bruce agrees, seeing something inside of the boy, and he eventually takes on the cowl as Batman, breating new life into the legend of the Dark Knight, setting the stage for a brand new story of a somewhat more light-hearted Batman, yet a more Mature Tim, who's had to grow up with Bruce alone, without the rest of the family, and one who never was Robin himself. I see Tim as a bridge between the attitude of Terry, and the intelligence of Bruce.  [/i][/indent][/indent]

I used to have a life. I was gonna become an engineer, or a scientist, perhaps a CSI. Sure, I did become all of those, but I also became something else. I'm someone who spends his Saturday prowling the streets, hunting those who oppose the law, those that no one seem to be able to stop. I'm the rebirth of a legend half a century old, and this city's one line of defense.

They call me The Dark Knight, if they even think I exist.
