"The Batman"
This film will be split into two parts.
It would feature a young Batman going up against his first serious threat, Deathstroke.
Part I: Fall
Batman, now into his third year of vigilantism, prowls the streets of Gotham City. He has become a proficient vigilante and holds an almost mythical status amongst the criminals of Gotham.
Recently, Batman has taken young Dick Grayson by his side as the hero Robin. Grayson is a kind and just boy of 16 who quickly proves himself an effective partner to the caped crusader.
Show various scenes of a gruff Batman and a enthusiastic Robin fighting criminals side-by-side. Batman has now taken down every single major crime family in Gotham.
Soon, Batman hears of a new adversary known only as Slade that has come into Gotham city to work as an assassin.
Batman and Robin take to the streets, steadily working to find untill they both finally confront him.
This should be the first time for the entirety of the film that we see Slade clearly. His is wearing an impeccably tailored suit and is unarmed.
A battle ensues, and Slade kills Robin, then escapes the scene.
Bruce, devastated by the loss of Grayson goes into seclusion, allowing Slade to kill a number of influential individuals in Gotham over a number of weeks. Bruce, now enraged like never before, dons his batsuit and begins to once again hunt for Slade.
For some time, Slade shows himself to be an elusive adversary, with Batman unable to find him for a length of time.
Eventually, an enraged Batman finds and confronts Slade. Batman takes out all of Slade's henchmen with an almost fatal brutality.
Slade and Batman then engage in direct hand to hand combat. Initially, Batman beats Slade down but soon Slade, only now taking the fight seriously, quickly and easily gains the upper hand. Slade, who is clearly shown to be superhumanly strong, agile, durable and fast viciously beats Batman, and right before he can deliver the killing blow, Batman stabs a batarang into his eye and escapes the scene.
Batman returns to the cave, and as he sits bleeding in his hideout whilst Alfred attempts to tend to his multiple injuries, the film ends.
Part II: Rise
Batman is still recuperating from his savage beating at the hands of Slade, now known citywide as the assassin Deathstroke. Much to Bruce's protest, Alfred keeps him at Wayne Manor untill his recuperation is complete.
Bruce has now healed his injuries but is still stiff and slow in combat, as seen when he goes out one night and struggles to defeat three unarmed thugs.
Alfred calls an old friend of Bruce (this may be an original character) to help him redevelop his strength and skill. His friend ( a character who I haven't come up with a name for) helps Bruce to restore his strength and speed, but after witnessing Deathstroke in combat he notes that Bruce is not ready to take on Slade once again.
Bruce trains to focus his anger and rage, becoming less brutal but far more effective in combat.
Bruce takes to the streets once more, now a far more skilled fighter than before. Batman spends time learning more about Deathstroke, who has now donned his promethium armour.
Batman learns that Deathstroke has gathered a team of highly skilled mercenaries from around the world to work under him.
Batman confronts the team, and defeats them all. He then ties them up and leaves them in front of the police station to be imprisoned.
Batman then issues an announcement on Deathstroke's communication frequency, (which he learned from Deathstroke's team) telling Deathstroke to meet Batman at the place where they originally fought.
They meet sometime later and after a brief discussion, fight. With great difficulty, Batman manages to defeat Deathstroke, but in the process, his cowl is shattered, revealing his identity to Wilson as Bruce Wayne. Batman knocks Deathstroke out and delivers him to Blackgate.
Commissioner Gordon stands atop the GCPD building, next to the bat symbol. He turns to head back inside, but Batman appears behind him. Gordon tells him that there is a new threat in Gotham before handing him a joker card.
Post credits: Deathstroke sits in his Blackgate cell, silently reading a novel. He hears a voice that asks "So, who?". Wilson stands from his bed, turns around and says "Wayne". The visitor is revealed to be Hugo Strange.
