Fan Casting Batman

Bruce Wayne neglects the family business and is forced to sell all he has. The disappointing loss causes him to reevaluate his role in Gotham and open a gym, in the hopes of being a positive force in his community. (One of his students is boisterous pre-teen, Dick Grayson.)

Meanwhile, Two-Face, Mr. Freeze, and Clayface are plotting to destroy what is left of the Wayne family.

Harvey Dent tries to recover from losing her most generous benefactor by engaging in a series of poor, illegal decisions, but eventually descends into madness and emerges as Two-Face, who will leave a trail of blood on her journey to Bruce Wayne.

Dr. Victor Fries was reliant on Wayne Enterprises, using their technology to cryogenically freeze his terminally ill wife. In the collapse, he became indebted to the new owners, who require him to bend his morals in exchange for her life. In a laboratory accident, he becomes Mr. Freeze, blaming Bruce Wayne for his new misfortune and hellbent on revenge.

Basil Karlo sought to benefit from Bruce Wayne's misfortune by stealing a Wayne Enterprises manufactured face cream, designed to preserve his youth. In using and overusing the product, the toxicity turns him into Clayface, and he also wants Bruce Wayne's head.

Two-Face's first motion in taking down Bruce Wayne is killing Alfred, which only brings one thing: the Batman.
