== Synopsis for "The Day Batman Dies, Part 1" ==
== Transcript ==
It begins in a somewhat big mansion as Charles "Chuckie" Sol is in the master bedroom, having been the former mansion belonging to Salvador Maroni. He grabs a bottle of wine as he suddenly hears a gun cock behind his head.
* Chuckie Sol: Fire it then. You won't.
* ???: Ha! You don't even know who I am. No worries, I'll let you peak.
Sol turns around and sees the man formerly known as Harvey Dent standing in front of him.
* Chuckie Sol: D-Dent?! You haven't reared your ugly head for two years! Why now?
* Two-Face: Oh. you know Sol, I want to make a name for myself. Rip the empire that Maroni started under his nose. You know, part of me wanted to be the one to pull the trigger on Maroni. I mean, look at my face. But eh, I'd take his traitorous lackey instead.
* Chuckie Sol: Traitorous?! I was loyal to Maroni up until his death!
* Two-Face: And then you killed his two sons and took the empire under his nose. That's not a good thing to do Sol.
* Chuckie Sol: So?! You're going to do the same thing to me!
* Two-Face: There's a difference Sol. I was not Maroni's friend. But now, good night.
* Chuckie Sol: So what?! You're just going to shoot me?
* Two-Face: You know what? I always believed in chance. So I'll be nice, pick a side. Head or tails.
* Chuckie Sol: Fuck no! I'm not giving into your chance bullshit!
* Two-Face: Then I guess I'll just have to kill you.
* Chuckie Sol: Okay! Okay! Tails!
* Two-Face: Alright then. Heads I shoot you, tails I don't.
He grabs a coin and flips it as it lands on tails.
* Chuckie Sol: Thank heavens! So you'll spare me?
* Two-Face: Poor Chuck, all I said was that I wasn't going to shoot you.
Two-Face suddenly drops the gun and grabs Sol and charges him out of the window as all Chuckie can do is look in horror, his body crashing onto his car. As that happens, dozens of mobsters rush in, wearing masks that resemble Two-Face's face.
* Masked Thug: Good job sir! What now?
* Two-Face: The Batman will have definitely noticed this. Send out a one-million-dollar bounty. Whoever kills the Batman, gets the cash.
The thug nods and heads out. It cuts to a party for the mayoral election as numerous of Gotham's richest are there ranging from CEO of Stagg Enterprises Simon Stagg, ex-flame of Bruce Wayne and socialite Silver St. Cloud, current mayoral candidate Marion Grange, rival candidate Hamilton Hill and at the center of the scene, Bruce Wayne, who is currently telling a story to two women.
* Bruce Wayne: So you ladies heard about how one time I went fishing and I was so drunk that I fell into the water.
* Woman 1: Oh well, you must've been so hot!
* Woman 2: I can only dream of you so wet and shirtless.
* Bruce Wayne: Hehe, yeah. But my focus is not on just telling stories you know. I am here because I believe in Marion Grange. I think she would make Gotham a safer place.
Grange coincidentally walks in at the conversation, holding a glass of wine.
* Marion Grange: Bruce may sometimes be an absolute idiot, but he's right you know. With me as mayor-
* ???: BLAM!
A bullet suddenly crashes through the window at Wayne Manor, nearly hitting one of the guests.
* ???: TADA!
A man dressed in all black and wearing a creepy mask, walks into the building by walking through the front door as Simon Stagg walks in front of him.
* Simon Stagg: You there! What do you want from us?
The masked man, Onomatopoeia, suddenly puts his hands up in a way to mirror Batman's ears as Bruce notices this and turns to the three women.
* Bruce Wayne: I am going to call the police. I'll be back.
* Marion Grange: Why not call them here?
* Bruce Wayne: I don't want that mad man with the gun to notice.
Bruce quickly but sneakily runs to outside of the main party room. He finds a bust and moves it to reveal a red button as he presses it, revealing the Batsuit as he puts it on. He then walks into the room and sees Onomatopoeia as he instantly aims his gun and fires it as Batman dodges.
* Onomatopoeia: Bang?
* Batman: Too slow.
Onomatopoeia suddenly drops his gun and runs to Batman, putting him in a hold as he begins punching.
* Onomatopoeia: Whack! Whack! Whack!
Batman dodges one of the punches and reverses the hold as he gives Onomatopoeia a big punch.
* Batman: Tell me why you want me!
* Onomatopoeia: Ziiiiiip.
He uses his free hand to do the zipping his mouth close gesture as Batman punches him again.
* Batman: Tell me or I will hurt you more.
Onomatopoeia blows a raspberry as Batman keeps punching and punching as soon Onomatopoeia says something.
* Onomatopoeia: Kaching!
* Batman: Money?! How much?
Onomatopoeia uses his free hand to stick out one finger as Batman deduces what he means and gives him a punch that knocks him out.
* Simon Stagg: Is someone going to clean up this mess?
* Batman: GCPD should be here soon.
Batman grapples out of the manor.
