The film introduces many characters and a lot of new villains for my Batman universe. The film's sequel is Chronicles Of The Batman: Under The Red Hood. The film is focused on fleshing out my Batman universe and gives us an idea of what Batman is doing and what he's fighting for.

## **PRODUCTION**

### **Writing**

The film was written and developed by me. I was thinking of writing a script as I've written a full movie script before, and it only took 2 days to complete that. I write books and am starting to write fan movies, so I'd be really good at writing a Batman movie script since I love Batman and connect with it so much. However I want this script to be dark and gritty, because that's how I like Batman and his universe.

## **FILM'S PLOT**

### **Plot Development**

The plot was developed and invented by me. I wanted it to focus on the fall of normal mobsters and the rise of the theatricality of Gotham City. Basically, the fall of crime figures such as Carmine Falcone and Salvatore Maroni, and the rise of new villains such as The Penguin and The Mad Hatter just to name a few.

## **SYNOPSIS**

### **Movie Plot**

Bruce Wayne is at the top of Gotham City's high society, and is simply a man who had his parents murdered in front of him and is as rich as they come. However underneath his fancy façade, he is secretly Gotham's dark knight known as Batman, who fights and risks his life every night to save the city from destruction. He partners with GCPD Commissioner Jim Gordon and his legendary butler Alfred Pennyworth to fight Gotham's biggest mobsters.

Batman is constantly putting fear into Gotham City's biggest and most powerful crime bosses. Batman investigates Carmine Falcone and is trying to stop the gang-war between Falcone and Salvatore Maroni, the second most powerful crime boss in Gotham. Carmine Falcone seems to be winning this gang-war, and in his private time, hires hypnotist Jervis Tetch to keep him entertained and literally take his mind off of things. Jervis is obsessed with the story of "Alice In Wonderland" and is constantly confiding in Falcone about the death of his late sister Alice.

Jervis is then attacked by Batman and is interrogated on information about why Falcone is at war with Maroni. Jervis replies that he has no knowledge of what is happening between the two bosses. Batman and the GCPD ultimately team up to take stop the gang-war between the two bosses. This is due to the massive body count that the war is creating. Maroni orders shipments of weapons and manages to sneak a bazooka into the city. Meanwhile, The Joker breaks out of Arkham Asylum and begins to go after Sofia Falcone.

The Joker ends up killing Sofia Falcone which causes Carmine to set a bounty on The Joker's head. Meanwhile, aspiring crime lord and businessman Oswald Cobblepot pays a visit to Tony Zucco in hopes of joining the Zucco Crime Family. Oswald robs a museum and steals a painting to prove his allegiance to the gang. However Zucco mocks him which causes Cobblepot to murder Zucco. Oswald crowns himself The Penguin and takes control of Zucco's gang.

Carmine Falcone receives a visit from Penguin. Penguin demands that Falcone step down and that he take control of the underworld. Batman arrives and a massive shootout ensues, however Penguin ends up killing Carmine. After which Jervis is kidnapped by Maroni and the boss demands that Tetch tell him about Falcone's whereabouts, unaware that Falcone has been murdered. Maroni tortures Jervis but Tetch refuses to break. Maroni ends up letting Jervis go.

Batman doesn't manage to catch Penguin and so he takes Falcone's body to the GCPD. Jervis makes it back to Falcone's penthouse only to discover the henchmen dead and Falcone's body missing. Jervis retrieves his hypnotism equipment and his "Alice In Wonderland" book. Jervis puts his talents together and creates his alter ego, The Mad Hatter. Jervis does this to symbolize that new villains are arriving in Gotham.

The Mad Hatter sets his sights on ending Maroni. He manages to hypnotize Maroni's men into working for him and takes Maroni to a greenhouse that is dressed like Wonderland. Batman receives word of this and goes to stop The Mad Hatter, however The Mad Hatter gets the upper hand and ties Batman to a chair. The Mad Hatter starts talking about how Gotham needs new style and that Maroni and Falcone are old news. Basically, out with the old, in with the new. The Mad Hatter then stabs Maroni in the neck multiple times. Batman then manages to break free of his ropes and defeats The Mad Hatter.

The Mad Hatter is sent to Arkham Asylum. Batman and Jim talk about how Gotham's underworld is not so much a criminal underworld anymore. New villains are taking over the city and that crime bosses are old news. Batman stands on a rooftop and looks awesome. He then jumps off of the roof and glides across Gotham's night sky, and goes into the light of the bat signal. The movie ends.
