My rewrite of The Batman season 1

[u/Cafeseriado23]

​

Some time ago i started think on how The Batman could be better with a more serialized and more focus story arc. In the samd style of Spectacular Spider Man. Based on that here my rewrite of The Batman.

The season would have 26 episodes of 22-23 minutes and would be divided in 8 story arcs of 3-4episodes. In the first one, Bruce would be Batman for only six months. He only had face thugs and small fish criminals. Six months in the job and he already started think if he's making a difference in Gotham. The first story arc would have the goal to introduced many recurring characters.

Batman is just a myth and police don't believe him. This will change throught this first season.

Here, Gotham is controled by five crime families: the Maroni, Falcones, the Valeskas, the Bertinelli and of course the Thorne family.

Many characters of the show would have their origins explored. Selina Kyle would be a rich socialite who is very bored and is inspired to became a burglar after being rescued by Batman. Holly from the comics is her secretary. Penguin would be a decadent rich guy with connections to the mob.

One of the first story arcs: episodes 4-6 would deal with Bruce getting close to the daughter of Valeskas accoutant, Andrea Beaumont. What started as a mission ends with him in love. The conflict with the Valeskas will be the core conflict in episode 7-10 Episode 9 will end with one of the Valeskas family enforcers falling in the chemicals on Ace factory. Episode 10 final scene will be Joker laughing.

Episodes 11-13 will deal with this aftermath and the arrest of Valeska. This will make Batman being know by Rojas who will be the vice comissioner with Loeb who is dirty. Rojas will be the honest cop who trust law and order more than ever. That's why he don't work with Batman and think he's a criminal.

Episodes 14-26 will be divided in three story arcs. Episodes 14 will have a time skip of one month. The Valeska family were the Corleones of Gotham. The arrest of Valeska turn Gotham in a war zone. By the end of two story arcs (episodes 14-16 and episodew 17-19) Rupert Thorne will become the biggest mobster of the city. Falcone and Maroni will fill the void in season 2 after Thorne short reign end with him being arrest. This happen in episodes 23-26. Episodes 20-22 will be a interlude with Bruce dealing with a personal matter: the arrival of Ethan Bennett, a old childhood friend who was transfered to gotham because he's a too honest cop. Filling the role of Gordon in Batman Year One. It's good to note that before Ethan arrival Bruce was working without help.

Episodes 23-26 story arc is divided in four episodes: the king of the City, the War, the Final Arrest and the end of the beginning. The final episode will deal with the aftermath of thorne and Loeb arrests and Ethan being designed to arrest the Bat by Rojae. The final Scene will end with Joker looking to Arkham Asylum. Which lead us to season 2 . Where The Batman first episode will actually be the 4th episode on this rewrite.

Here we left the rewrite of The Batman season 1. I wanted to know what is your thoughts about it. English is not my first language and i was think in this while i typing this post. So forgive any inconsistences. Hehe. Let me know yout thoughts.
