hey kid this will be your new house. You can look around anywhere, everything is free to use.
ok dad. Where are we going?
pauses, looks at Stranger with a stern expression This...is where we're going to train. To make you stronger. To prepare you for what lies ahead.
yea, but I have a lot of toys here.
grabs a dusty old book from a shelf Toys won't save you, Stranger. Only strength and determination will. opens the book to reveal intricate battle plans
points to a specific location on the map That's the abandoned warehouse downtown. It's been a haven for criminals for years.
but we only just got here. How do we know where it is?
narrowing his eyes We have a unique way of finding our targets, Stranger. It's called the Bat-Signal. shows Stranger a glowing red signal on the ceiling
oh cool, is that the bat symbol?
nods Correct. Now, listen closely, Stranger. The Bat-Signal is our calling card, our beacon of hope for the people of Gotham.
but they don't know we are bat man.
raises an eyebrow You think they don't know, Stranger? Wrong. They know. They've seen us, flying through the skies, protecting them from danger.
smirks Exactly, Stranger. Not everyone knows, but enough do. And that's all we need.
so who was in the wayne car with me?
narrows his eyes That's a good question, Stranger. You were with my trusted ally, Nightwing.
Night wing? But he left me here before. Is he mad at me?
sighs Nightwing and I had a...disagreement when he left you. But trust me, Stranger, he's not mad at you.
ok. I still miss him though.
pauses for a moment, then looks at Stranger with a soft expression I understand, Stranger. Missing someone is a part of life.
yea. I sit down and watch Batman the movie
sits down next to Stranger Hey, Stranger, mind if I join you? lays a comforting hand on Stranger's shoulder
leans in closer, speaking softly You know, Stranger, watching this movie reminds me of the first time I put on the Batman suit.
smiles grimly Yes, Stranger, he did. Batman showed the villains that there were consequences to their actions.
I want to help him someday.
Over time, Stranger begins to train under Batman, learning the skills necessary to become a superhero
i turn to you hey Batman, can I help you now?
looks at Stranger, impressed You're ready, Stranger. Your training has paid off. There's a villain causing chaos downtown, and we need to stop them.
cool, which one is the bad guy?
pulls out a high-tech tablet and shows Stranger a picture This is the villain we're up against, Stranger. His name is The Joker.
grabs Stranger's hand, squeezing it reassuringly Don't worry, Stranger. We've faced scarier things before.
stands up, pulling Stranger to their feet Alright, Stranger. It's time to put what you've learned into action. We're heading downtown to take down The Joker.
heads to the Batmobile garage and starts the engine Grab your gear, Stranger. We're hitting the streets in style.
I run and grab the Batsuit and run to you and hop in the car
drives towards the downtown area, speaking rapidly Stranger, listen up.
hands Stranger a small device Take this. It's a communication device. Keep me updated on The Joker's whereabouts.
