## Episode Detailed Summaries

### Episode One: Pilot

We open on a group of people being mugged. We see two different figures watching them from different rooftops. The two figures look at each other. They nod. They both jump off the rooftops. They land next to the muggers. The larger figure grabs one of the two muggers, and trips him to the ground. The smaller figure grabs the other mugger, and smacks him against the wall. They punch the two muggers in the face, knocking them out. They lay the muggers side by side. A young girl asks the figures who they are. The two figures look at each other, and run off.

We cut to Wayne Manor. Bruce and Dick are locking up their costumes, revealing they were the figures. Dick says that soon, Batman and Robin will be worldwide phenomenons. Bruce says it's not about the fame. It's about saving innocent lives. Dick says he knows that, but the fame could be kinda cool too. Bruce smiles at him. Alfred walks into the Batcave. He asks the heroes how many crimes they stopped. Dick announces that they stopped five. Alfred asks them if they want dinner. Bruce says that would be wonderful. Alfred walks away.

We cut to nighttime. Bruce lays tossing and turning while asleep in his bed. He is having a nightmare. We cut to his nightmare. Bruce and his parents are leaving a theater following a show. We see a man following them. He jumps out in front of the Waynes'. He asks for all their money. Bruce's dad, Thomas, pulls out his cash. The man looks at Bruce's mother, Martha. He asks for her pearl necklace. She says no. He cocks the gun. Thomas jumps in the way. He is shot in the stomach. He falls to the ground. The mugger puts the gun on Martha's pearls, and pulls the trigger. Martha is shot. She drops to the ground. Bruce stands crying. The man runs away. Bruce continues crying. We cut to present day. Bruce wakes up. He lays his head in his hands.

Bruce gets up out of bed. He sneaks down to the Batcave. He pulls out his costume. He puts it on. He jumps into his Batmobile, and drives out. He drives through the city. He ends up in an alley. This is the same alley where his parents were killed. Bruce mutters that he will find whoever killed his parents. He sees a figure watching him. Batman runs at the figure, who disappears. He chases the figure into another alley. Batman grabs the figure's arm. There is a star on his right hand. Batman lets go of the man. He shouts that he will find the man. Batman runs back to the car.

Batman arrives back at the Batcave. He takes off the cowl and costume. Bruce walks out of the cave. He sees Alfred. He asks Alfred if he woke him up. Alfred says he was already awake when Bruce snuck out. Bruce says he had a nightmare about his parents. He says he returned to the alley, and now may have a lead on his parents' murder. He pulls out a piece of paper. He draws a star. He says that was on this figure in the alley's right hand. Bruce says that he thinks this figure killed his parents.

We are at the police station. Commissioner Jim Gordon walks in. A cop walks up to him. The cop says that apparently, the masked vigilantes struck again. Jim asks what they did this time. The cop says they stopped five muggings. Jim says they need to find the vigilantes. He sits down at his desk. Just then, his daughter Barbara walks up. She hugs her dad. Barbara says she is going to class. Jim tells her to go have fun. Barbara says she will. She runs out of the station.

Bruce, Dick, and Alfred stand in the Batcave. Bruce says that the mysterious figure had a star on his right hand. Alfred says that the man must be apart of some big gang, and the star is their mark to recognize each other. Dick says that he knows what gang it is. Dick begins a flashback. He begins talking about him and Bruce's first fight together, against the gang responsible for Dick's parents' murder. He remembers seeing them with stars on their right hands. Bruce realizes that the man who killed his parents is apart of the Black Dragons, a gang in Gotham City. Bruce says they have to stop them.

We cut to the Black Dragon warehouse. They are playing cards. We see Batman and Robin sneaking around the building. As the card game continues, Batman and Robin drop onto a table. They begin fighting the gang members. Batman and Robin, as we can tell from how bad they are beating the gang members, are amazing fighters. Batman grabs a gang member and pins him against a wall as Robin continues beating the other gang members. Batman yells at the gang member to tell him who killed Thomas and Martha Wayne.
