Apologies for the radio silence on my end. Had a tough time with what I originally wanted to do, so I scrapped it to start fresh. Working on that now.
How did that happen?
Plot twist: MB was actually applying for Ted Grant the whole time.

Utilizing the vast family fortune that became his own, Wayne traveled the farthest corners of the globe and learned from it's greatest masters in fields relevant to crime prevention, martial arts, stealth, engineering and detection. Returning home as a matured adult, he sought to use his acquired skills to the streets, but it wasn't enough to overcome his enemies. He needed an edge, a weapon that would transcend any normal methods of a crusade such as his. Inspiration came to him in the form of a creature that had terrified him as a child, making him realize that weaponizing fear itself was the key. Donning the terrifying cape and cowl to mimic that animal and adopting an arsenal of highly advanced gadgetry and vehicles to sell the illusion that he was more than just a man, Bruce Wayne became Gotham's nocturnal protector - THE BATMAN. This version of Batman has been operating in Gotham City since 2008, and is roughly in his mid-forties. He was a founding member of The Justice League and remained with the team until their disbandment, seeing no desire to return. His history largely reflects that of the Post-Crisis/Rebirth continuities, where he went through his origin period and became a masked vigilante, made enemies of increasingly volatile opportunists and the insane, adopted several recruits into the fold and oversaw their training, built up an arsenal of some of the most advanced non-lethal technology and weapons on Earth, and firmly established himself in the world of business while also presenting the facade of a careless playboy. He's legally adopted Dick Grayson, Tim Drake, and Cassandra Cain as his children, and has a biological son in Damian. He considers Clark Kent a personal friend, but has largely remained distant since the former's retirement. He still believes that Jason Todd died the night that The Joker murdered him. And while he and Selina Kyle nearly married, they broke it off and have chosen to remain what they were - allies, enemies, and everything in between. P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) Bruce will be driven by one of his worst habits: the fear that eventually, he'll lose everyone closest to him to violence. While he obviously has a rather large family of agents, Batman has become increasingly isolated from them and operates on his own in the field. This makes him vulnerable to behavior that could threaten everything he's built, particularly when his enemies seize the opportunity to make his life hell under the machinations of a mysterious third party looking to destabilize the well-being of Gotham's protector out of personal revenge. To do that, Batman will be put through a gauntlet of his worst foes, from The Riddler to Bane, Ra's Al Ghul, The Penguin, and eventually, The Joker, who still has yet to pay for the murder of the second Robin many years ago. And on the path towards that endgame, he'll be forced to come into conflict with those who bear his symbol to ultimately challenge this pattern of behavior. Within that journey, my main goal will be to help reinvent some of his villains - or at least, steer them toward a natural evolution. Characters like The Riddler and Two-Face have remained stagnant for a long time, and I want to show what happens when they actually realize that their old methods aren't working. To a lesser degree, I want to see how much of Batman's own personal world can survive a sort of reckoning - what can remain whenever you have Bruce decide that his life needs to change. |
