Martha Kane was born into the Kane family, who allegedly owned the other half of Gotham that the Wayne's do not. Roddy Kane her father, was rich due to his possession of Ace Chemicals. She married Thomas Wayne, though this started an argument between the two families which lasted the remainder of her life.


Thomas and Martha were traveling across the Midwest after they witnessed a light falling from the sky into a close-by field. Thomas looked through the field and discovered a weird crystal. Upon touching the object, his subconscious travels to the world of Krypton. There, his astral self met Jor-El a Kryptonian scientist. Jor-El tells Thomas that the object he discovered was a Kryptonian probe, one of dozens that he had sent out to varied yellow-sun star galaxies. He told Thomas of his doomed planet of Krypton which he was sorting out an acceptable world within which to send his infant son Kal-El. Jor-El instantly developed a bond and connection with Thomas Wayne; this determined that sending his son to Earth was the right choice. Pleased to have found a suitable planet he sends Wayne's subconscious back to his body on Earth.

Only a couple of months later, Thomas and his wife Martha gave birth to their solely son, Bruce. Thomas never forgot his trip to Krypton and started writing a journal of his time there. He still having the Kryptonian probe, he studies the technology and was able to use it to avoid bankrupting Wayne Enterprises. No one ever knew the alien technology from that probe kept the company alive. Thomas wanted to make sure his journal would never see the light of day, thus he hid it in a secret place within the caverns beneath Wayne Manor. He one day, want to offer the journal to his son, in order that he would possibly learn the true story concerning the family's legacy.

When Bruce was still a young kid, his family attended a costume fundraiser. The theme of the party was night creatures. Thomas Wayne wanted to dress as a bat, and wore a costume consisting of a mask with long ears, and large dark black cape. The young Bruce liked his father's outfit and brazenly asked if someday he may be able to wear such a fearsome costume. Thomas had no idea how prophetic the innocent question really was.

During the party, many gangsters raided the mansion and recognized that Wayne was a physician. Kidnapping him, they brought him to a warehouse where he was to perform emergency surgery on mob boss Lew Moxon who had been hit with a fatal gunshot wound.

Wayne knew that when he removed the bullet from Moxon's body, the gangster would possible kill him. Rather than doing the surgery, Thomas fought with the gangsters and toke down each one of them. As the police came he handed the thugs over to a young police lieutenant named James Gordon. The courts sentenced Moxon to 10 years in jail.

Moxon served his years in jail and upon release; he went to pay a visit to Thomas Wayne. With a smirk, he told Wayne that he would one way or another get even with him – even if he had to use someone else to do his dirty work.

Thomas Wayne was also a close colleague of Roger Elliot, another influential businessman. Together, the Waynes and the Elliots were considered one of the wealthiest families in Gotham. At this time, Bruce Wayne befriended Roger and Marla Elliot's son, Thomas. Thomas Elliot was one of the few friends Bruce ever had as a child. One evening, Thomas Elliot’s parents were in an automobile accident. Upon hearing the news, Thomas Wayne rushed to Sacred Heart hospital. He was unable to save the life of Roger Elliot, but he did succeed in saving Marla Elliot, though her injuries would require extensive reconstructive surgery.

A few weeks later, Thomas, Martha and young Bruce were walking home from an evening out at a show. A mugger leapt from the shadows of Crime Alley and assaulted them, but does not ask for cash. Thomas tried to fight, however the mugger shot him directly in the heart, killing him. He then turned his gun on Martha and viciously ended her life as well. Bruce Wayne stood there in horror, as his folks laded dead next to him. The mugger ran from the alleyway.

Fortunately, physician and social worker Leslie Thompkins was making a house call that night, arrived to provide love and comfort to the emotional paralyzed Bruce. Bruce promises that he would bring the lowly killer to justice and avenge Thomas and Martha’s deaths. He then grows up on the Wayne Manor property, with help from the wise and constant butler, Alfred Pennyworth. Bruce had only a few friends throughout his childhood.

Bruce Wayne, now 14, began his world journey, attending courses at Cambridge and alternative European colleges. However, he stays no longer then he needs to and usually drop out at the end of the first semester. Beyond education, Wayne successfully acquired varied "practical" skills. whereas abroad, he studied and received coaching in multiple martial arts beneath varied instructors and in several countries, man-hunting from Frenchman, stealth and reconnaissance from an assassin’s league lead by a man named Ra Al Ghul, searching from the African Bushman, ancient healing disciplines from Nepalese monks and even ventriloquism from skilled practitioners. His information of such a large amount of varied disciplines has created Wayne an unconventional and unpredictable individual. At age 20, he tried to affix the FBI, however once learning regarding its rules and conduct, Wayne deducted that he would never be able to fully oppose crime whereas operating inside the legal system.

Bruce Wayne swore an oath to rid the town of the evil that had taken his parents' lives. The years he spent in his youth traveling the planet, coaching himself to intellectual and physical perfection and learning a spread of crime-fighting skills, as well as chemical science, criminal justice, forensics science, Wushu, acrobatics, environmental camouflage, and escape tactics.

Meanwhile, Edward got high scores on some tests at school, his father, unable to understand the very fact that his son was a genius, and out of envy he beat him. Years of this give him a powerful internal want to tell his story, and prove his innocence. This want manifests itself through his obsession with riddles and puzzles. As Edward Nashton grew older, he opened a crooked carnival booth involving a diabolical puzzle. The shoppers would compete to resolve the puzzle for prize cash, however if they did not do it, they pay Nashton a tiny low fee for competing. In each case, Edward rigged the puzzle before to make sure that the client would invariably fail.

Bruce Wayne came back to Gotham, despite having all of the abilities and ways to fight crime; he felt that he still had one thing missing to finish his physical and psychological arsenal. Wayne discovered the solution late one night whereas sitting in his manor. He recalled his love of his father costume for a party as a kid, then a bat crashed through one of the windows; he ultimately set to create his look resemble a bat's. Wayne designed himself a fancy suit equipped with experimental technology and launched against the crime and corruption that thrived in Gotham.

Edward, Unsatisfied with the pickings of the puzzle booth, closed the carnival attraction and announced to him he was clever enough to use his wits for crime and baffle the upholders of the law. Edward concluded he would commit puzzling crimes and invariably fix the duel of wits between him and also the law therefore he would invariably win. Donning a costume with question marks, he turned to crime and was realized as the infamous Riddler. At first, the Riddler proves initially successful, launching a criminal offense wave across Gotham. Batman soon deduced that the new villain was leaving baffling clues for the law before every crime and commenced investigations on the clues to thwart the Riddler's puzzling crimes, though Edward swiftly evades capture again and again.

He then kidnaps Doctor Brendan Dallaway, and Batman senses that this is different not an ordinary riddler crime. He’s intent on tracking the Riddler down, however he is getting followed by Metropolis reporter Kara Harris, who town hall insists she ought to be allowed to try and do a report on Batman. He paid no attention to her and goes for the person indicated within the Riddler's clue - a businessman, who encompasses a false painting higher than his heart, a painting that contains another clue. However, Batman catches a faint whiff of a distinct chemical, and therefore will traceit back to the Riddler's base - sadly, when the reporter catches up with the businessman, he tells her everything regarding the topic of the clue, but not the chemicals.

Flashback some months ago, Edward 'Riddler' Nashton was living in rough time, however was discovered by Professor Jarrod Buttery, who saw his talent for crosswords. Buttery interested in his intellect set to getting Edward into his home.

Batman finds Riddler and his men, however discovers that Kara Harris has walked into the Riddler's lure elsewhere. He finds the Riddler and a fight in sues, able to read Batman’s moves he easily defeats him. Batman is told that a passing train contains a bomb on it, which will explode in 10 minutes. To make things a little more interesting he will have to wear wristband to keep track of him. He finds the bomb with few seconds left of the countdown and looks for some way to urge it off the train. Meanwhile, Kara Harris is close to drown in an elaborate deathtrap created by the Riddler.

Back before the Riddler's transformation, he came to the house of Professor Buttery, who planned to bring out his genius. He met Buttery's son, Martin.

At the last second, Batman manages to urge the bomb off the train, barely avoiding a horrible disaster. Batman then met by Martin, who says he wants the Riddler to get even with him for what he did, and tells Batman what the Riddler has done with Kara Harris. Batman rescues her from drowning, however then the wristband they're each wearing suddenly activate, and then Riddler hologram appears, to inform them that they have to be within 10 feet of each other or will explode. Currently stuck with the reporter, Batman realizes that he should have missed one thing. He goes back to interview businessman Nathaniel Koughun, and finds that the Riddler really wants to steal something from the museum that shares a wall with Koughun's buildings. To confirm his co-operation, he kidnapped the love of Koughun's life, Doctor Brendan Dallaway. Batman guarantees that he has nothing to worry about, and that he is aware of where the Riddler's target is, he will finish this.

Trying to unlock Edward's gift with puzzles and riddles, Professor Buttery goes into his past and discovers that his faculty uncovered his talent before. However, his father believed he had cheated on the test, looking at the impossible and beat Edward till he agreed. In time, Edward came to believe this to be the reality. Currently free of his past, he makes progress, however begins to recollect what he has been doing along with his life for the past 10 to fifteen years.

The Riddler's target is the scroll of Minos, and also the location he has chosen as his base to enter the museum means he'll bypassed a lot of the protection. With reporter Kara Harris in tow, Batman sneaks pass the security measures that are there. In time, they reach the scroll, however realize it's untouched. The Riddler calmly walks in tells Batman he has used him to get past the protection, and take the scroll with minimal problem.

Shortly before all this, Edward notices that Professor Buttery is using him to do favors for code-breakers, using Edward's papers for his own. For lying and using him, the Riddler kills Professor Buttery, forcing the professor's son to seek revenge against the costumed criminal.
Batman and the Riddler confront one another close combat for the scroll of Minos in Gotham City museum. While Batman and The Riddler battle, Kara Harris walks away and activates Batman’s wristband, however he reveals that he is aware of she is truly Kara's sister Maria, and has known since he released her from the Riddler's trap. He finally reveals that he has defused the bomb in his wristband that Marie’s was not real. Once Kara and Marie are exchanged, the Riddler sets on Batman; however he's able to defeat them. The Minos scroll is retrieved, the Riddler deliberately sparks off the protection system and escapes below the closing door, leaving Batman and Kara trapped on the opposite side. However outside, the Riddler meets Martin, who want to get even and stands in the way of the Riddler's escape, knowing this man murdered his father. When Batman final comes out of the museum, Martin gives him the scroll back.

Later, Kara Harris decides to not write her report on Batman, because it was the Riddler that arranged for her to have the job, merely to substitute Marie. Commissioner Gordon find out that the scroll handed to Batman was a false copy. Elsewhere, the Riddler, Marie and Martin (who had no love for his father) create their getaway. The Riddler is glad to have won this battle, notably as Batman cheated.

Cast
Batman/Bruce Wayne- Sean Faris

Sean has the fighting experience that the part needs. He played a MMA fighter in Never Back Down. Plus he is around the same age as Henry Cavill which is perfect.
Edward Nashton/Riddler- James McAvoy

James is a good actor in my opinion and he played a badass in the movie Wanted. I want my Riddler to be like the Sherlock Holmes character played by Robert Downey Jr. It would make Riddler a more worthy adversary.
Martha Wayne- Jennifer Connelly

Jennifer is a good actress that I think will play good opposite Thomas Jane .
Thomas Wayne- Thomas Jane

Thomas was the best punisher in my book. So why not make he a badass father figure.
Alfred Pennyworth- Hugh Laurie

I think Hugh would be great as Alfred and he is a great actor.
Riddler's Father- Willem Defoe

Willem would be perfect as the Riddler's abusive father. He plays those role very well look at his acting in spider-man.
Kara and Marie Harris- Lina and Erica Green

I choose the green sisters because I thought why not have twins in the movie rather then mirroring the actress.
Jor-El- Russell Crowe

He plays Jor-El in the Man of Steel movie why not here.
Lew Moxon- Jeremy Piven

He has the great gangster look to him. I think he could play a great gang boss. Plus I love his movies.
Nathaniel Koughun- Daniel Dae Kim

Great actor but does not get enough good parts.
Brendan Dallaway- Kelly Hu

Great actress and perfect for the part.
Jarrod Buttery- Patrick Dempsey

He has the look of a shady doctor.
Martin Buttery- Ben Barnes

Great actor would fit perfect in the character role.
James Gordon- Jeffery Morgan

Best actor for the job.
