This is my first fan fic, so please try not to shoot me down. ;)
Pilot: Bruce Wayne attends the Gotham Academy with fellow students, Tommy Elliot, Vicki Vale (Wayne’s girlfriend) and Harvey Dent (all seniors). He is the school's heartthrob, and he fully embraces that. Inside, he feels survivor's guilt about the night his parents died. He has always wanted revenge for them so he finally goes out to find their killer because he remembers the man's face. Bruce is beaten in an alleyway in Gotham City by some thugs and he realizes he is outmatched. He tells Alfred, his butler and father figure, that if he really wants revenge, he needs protection.
Season 1: Bruce uses his wealth to buy himself a bullet proof suit of armor and top-of-the-line guns, but he only kills as a last resort. He begins by solving mysteries and stopping robberies in Gotham. Bruce uses his ingenuity to find links between the crimes and brings it all back to Carmine Falcone, who begins to use a desperate man known as the Red Hood to commit his crimes. In the end, Bruce (known as the Batman to the media) fights the Red Hood and the Red Hood falls into a pit of acid. The Red Hood is shown climbing out of the pit, taking off the hood showing green hair, and breaking into uncontrollable laughter. Soon after, police arrive and drag him into a van saying, “Arkham Asylum.”
Villain: Falcone/Red Hood
Season 2: Harvey Dent is burnt by the defendant (Sal Maroni) during a court case, as he is a prodigal lawyer. Dent stays at home, afraid to show his face, half of which is horribly scarred. Meanwhile, Batman finds crimes all over town that have to do with the number two. The evidence leads to Dent, but Bruce can't believe that it is his friend. When Alfred convinces him that everyone has a dark side, Bruce finds Harvey in the act, but Harvey has his goons beat Bruce to the brink of death. Harvey flips his coin to determine whether or not to save Bruce, and Bruce is left alive. Vicki Vale and Bruce break up late in this season because Vicki doesn’t like the way that Bruce has changed. (In this season, the Batmobile will be introduced as a straight black car to Bruce is given by Alfred.)
Villain: Two-Face
Season 3: Bruce realizes that he has no training in combat or anything, so he uses his money to travel the world with Alfred to get training from the best in their field. He meets Henri Ducard, a former Interpol agent who is a master of deception and man-hunting, in France. He finds Master Kirigi, who teaches him martial arts, in Japan, and he meets Giovanni Zatara, a stage magician who teaches him trickery and such. Throughout all of this, shadowy figures are at all of these places, watching him. They are revealed to work for the League of Assassins, where Bruce meets Talia and Ra's al Ghul. He falls in love with Talia, and he receives training from Ra's, but once Bruce discovers his shadowy motives, Bruce fights Ra's and wins. (Batarang is introduced.)
Villain: Ra's al Ghul/League of Assassins
Season 4: Back in Gotham, Pamela Isley is experiencing with plants for Wayne Tech and she is struck with the ability to control plants and she discovers that she has an empathy with them. She begins to do anything to save the plants that are being destroyed in Gotham. Batman discovers the link and stops her by devising a chemical with Lucius Fox that can stop her abilities. (Bat-plane is introduced to spray the chemical.) Crimes start happening at the same time with riddles left at the crime scene that Bruce must use his ingenuity to solve. The crimes lead back to Edward Nigma. (Both are sent to Arkham Asylum.) Lucius Fox begins to work with Bruce Wayne to develop the classic “bat-gadgets.”
Villain: Poison Ivy/Riddler
Season 5: Bruce discovers a new drug in Gotham which gives its users incredible strength and size. It is called Venom. All of the shipments go back to a former Mexican criminal, calling himself Bane. This leads to Batman’s greatest fight, as Bane is just as good of a strategist as Batman, and he is much stronger. Two-face’s gang is helping to traffic the drugs. Batman is also forced to stop Two-face, finally putting him into Arkham Asylum. (In this season, Bruce attends a circus that he is financially supporting which has the Flying Graysons in it, and he gets a new girlfriend named Silver St. Cloud) (Grappling gun is introduced.)
Villain: Two-face/Bane
Season 6: A new gang is rising up in Gotham. All of their victims have permanent smiles stuck on their faces. He discovers that the former Red Hood escaped from Arkham Asylum and is now being called the Joker. He finally thinks that he will meet the Joker, but instead he finds Harley Quinn, the Joker’s psychiatrist, now criminally insane. (Bat-cycle is introduced.) (Flying Graysons are murdered and Bruce adopts their child and starts training him in combat.) (Silver St. Cloud discovers Batman’s secret identity, but she is killed in the end by Joker.)
Villain: Joker/Harley Quinn
Season 7: Seemingly random pieces of high-tech technology are being stolen around the city. Batman pieces together that these put together would build something to freeze someone, and could potentially unfreeze them. These crimes lead to Victor Fries, a WayneTech scientist who was injured while studying the concept of bringing someone back to life. He is forced to wear a containment suit and he uses freeze guns. The Penguin’s Iceberg is frequented by Fries, and Batman is forced to stop the Penguin and his entire gang as well.
Villain: Penguin/Mr. Freeze
Season 8: Bruce Wayne becomes involved with Selena Kyle, a girl who claims to be part of high society. Batman discovers crimes all over town, but they lead back to him, and the crimes lead to his mansion. A serial killer is also on the loose in Gotham, and all of the victims have their faces removed. The crimes that lead to his house are being done by Selena (Catwoman), and the murders lead to the deranged Victor Zzasz and Bruce Wayne’s childhood friend, Tommy Elliot, who wants to get revenge on Bruce for “stealing” the limelight from him and is surgically removing the faces of Zzasz’s victims to look exactly like Bruce.
Villain: Zzasz, Hush, and Catwoman
Throughout the show there would be episodes or even 3-5 episode arcs about other villains like Mad Hatter, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, Killer Croc, Scarecrow, Firefly, and such. Some episodes would feature other, lesser-known DC heroes. That’s basically it, so sound off with your comments below!
