FADE IN: 1. EXT. PARK ROW_STREET – DAY 1.

People are walking over the street in Gotham.

JASON(V.O.)

It ain't easy to be me. But everyone has their own problems. My problems however are probably not the same as yours.

Jason runs around the corner. A couple yards after Jason runs a man chasing him.

MAN 1

Hey. Come back. That is my wallet.

JASON(V.O.)

Yep. This is how it goes in park row.

Jason runs in a side street and jumps over a fence. After he lands he walks calmly further and goes around the corner knowing the man can't follow him.

Jason takes a lighter out of his pocket and lights up a cigarette.

2. EXT. PARK ROW_HOTDOG STAND – DAY 2.

Jason walks to a hot dog stand where he buys a hotdog with the money from the stolen wallet.

The hot dog man has a judgmental look on his face.

JASON

What?

De hot dog man gives Jason his hot dog and Jason walks away. Jason throws away his cigarette and takes a bite of the hot dog.

Jason looks in the wallet and sees that there is not much money left.

A car drives next to Jason.

RICO(O.S.)

That is him. That is your guy. Jason. Jason!

Jason looks toward the sound and sees Rico next to the driver's seat in the car.

RICO

Jason come over here.

Jason walks to the car.

RICO(to Jason)

Hey Jason. What's up? Do you still need money, because we have a job. Tires, your specialty.

RICO(to driver)

I swear. He Is without a doubt the fastest man alive. Well in removing tires at least.

RICO(to Jason)

So, what do you say?

JASON

Fine.

RICO

Yes. come in the back.

Jason gets in the backseat of the car.

3. INT. PARKING GARAGE– DAY 3.

The car drives around with a trailer behind it.

RICO

Stop over there.

The driver puts the car aside and Rico, Jason and the driver get out the car. Jason grabs a tool from the trunk.

The driver stays with the car with his arms crossed. Jason walks toward another car while lighting a cigarette.

Jason removes the tires from the car and rolls them towards Rico, while he puts them in the trailer.

CUT TO:

Jason removes the last tire and rolls it towards Rico.

JASON

Oke. Lets go.

De camera turns and it becomes visible that Jason removed all the tires from all the cars in the garage.

Rico throws the last tire in the trailer, which is now full of tires, and throws a canvas over it.

4. INT. REPAIR GARAGE – EVENING 4.

The car drives into a garage. A man, the boss, walks towards them. The driver, Jason and Rico get out of the car.

To get paid.

Rico smells the money he got from the boss while walking outside.

RICO

Beautiful. It this not beautiful Jason? You are our little wonder boy.

JASON

If you say so.

DRIVER

I got another job.

JASON

How big?

DRIVER

100 times paid.

JASON

What is it?

DRIVER

A bank. We need a fingerprint so it has to be during the day. Heard you were a good driver as well.

Jason shakes his head.

JASON

Too big of a risk.

DRIVER

Police is not a problem. We will have hostages.

JASON(to driver)

It is not the police where I am worried about. As long as I do nothing big I don't get on the radar and won't get chased.

JASON(to RICO)

Let's go.

6. EXT. STREET – NIGHT 6.

Jason and Rico walk over the street.

RICO

Dude. I don't get you. You can do so much better. I mean you never even faced him before.

JASON

I heard enough stories about him and have seen the results.

Rico suddenly stops walking and looks to a group of people dealing.

RICO

How long can you live with your money?

JASON

Not long enough.

RICO

I know a guy who buys high.

JASON

Buys what?

RICO

What those guys are having.

Jason looks towards the group.

JASON

How high?

RICO

Well you have to consider it is a gang.

JASON

Who? They or the buyer?

RICO

Probably both.

JASON

How high?

Rico smiles.

JASON

That is enough for me I guess.

Jason walks nonchalant toward the dealers. Jason bumps into a dealer and grabs a pack of drugs quickly and hides it.

JASON

Sorry.

The dealers look annoyed.

Suddenly a dealer noticed that some drugs is missing.

MEMBER 1

Hey. He got my stuff.

Jason runs away. De group follows him.

Jason pushes people away in order to get past and throws things in the street behind him to block the group. Jason walks into another street, but the group now comes from 2 sides.

Jason stops and slowly moves against the wall trying to create distance from the group.

MEMBER 1(grabs a knife)

You are dead. I will tear you to pieces.

BATMAN(O.S.)

No, you won't.

Suddenly batman lands in front of Jason separating him from the group.

MEMBER 2

It's batman.

Member 1 attacks batman and batman knocks him down. Batman takes the knife and breaks it.

BATMAN

Anyone else.

The group attacks batman and batman fights back while Jason watches. Batman knocks every member down until they are groaning on the ground.

Batman turns to Jason.

JASON

I didn't need your help.

BATMAN

What did you take from them?

JASON(rude)

Nothing.

Batman walks toward Jason and stands right in front of him. Batman reaches into Jason's pocket and takes out the bag of drugs.

BATMAN

Stealing drugs from criminals does not make you a good person if you are planning to sell it to others. I will forget it for now, but next time I won't be so friendly.

Batman grabs his grappling hook and flies away.

JASON

Loser.

7. EXT. RICO'S HOUSE – DAY 7.

Jason walks up to a front door.

Jason rings Rico's doorbell.

Rico slowly opens the door revealing Rico has a black eye.

JASON

What the hell happened to you?

RICO

Those guys from yesterday. They noticed I was with you when you run off. Problem was they knew where I live.

JASON

Oh sorry dude.

RICO

Risk of the job. You screw with others and you get screwed. Did you get it?

JASON

I had some trouble with that.

RICO

Wait what? I got a black eye for not selling you out and you give me nothing. That is not how it works.

JASON

I couldn't help it oke. Batman showed up. He took it.

RICO

Wowowow. You want to tell me that you met batman, he took your drugs and that's it. No hitting, no pain inflicted what's so ever, and you want me to believe that. Come back when you want to tell the truth. And don't forget my money.

Rico slams the door.

8. EXT. STREET – NIGHT 8.

Jason walks over the street with a bag over his shoulder and looks at cars. In another street stands the Batmobile, but Jason walks past it. Jason realizes it and walks back. Jason smiles.

CUT TO: 9. EXT. CRIME ALLEY – NIGHT 9.

Jason removes the tires from the Batmobile. After Jason finishes one tire, he moves to the next. There is a silhouette in the background. Jason looks toward the silhouette and then sees that it is Batman. Jason drops his tools from shock.

BATMAN

Unbelievable.

A BEAT.

BATMAN

Why are you unscrewing my tires?

JASON

Who says I did that?

Batman walks toward Jason.

BATMAN

What else do you need a tire iron for?

JASON

This!

Jason hits batman with his tool and runs away.

BATMAN

You little ...[shit].

JASON

Try to catch me you big boob.

Batman smiles and start laughing.

BATMAN

He got nerf, I give him that.

10. EXT. STREET – NIGHT 10.

Jason runs through the streets and looks back sometimes.

Batman looks at Jason from a distance. Jason can't see batman.

Jason runs in another street and stops. Jason gaps and then smiles.

JASON

Pussy.

Suddenly batman strikes down from above and grabs Jason.

BATMAN

Who are you calling a pussy, punk.

JASON

Let me go.

Jason kicks Batman in the nuts and frees himself.

Batman tries to hit Jason but he dodges. Batman is surprised.

Batman and Jason fight.

JASON

I thought you could fight better.

BATMAN

Rough night. Besides low life criminals like you, I have real psychopaths to worry about.

JASON

I am not a low life.

BATMAN

I don't think your parents are very happy with what you are doing.

JASON

Dead people don't care.

BATMAN

Then go back to your orphanage before you turn into a wanted criminal. You can still have a good future.

JASON

I tried that. They actually taught me to be a better criminal. But I am no charity pet. I take care of myself. I am my own man. I am Jason Todd.

Jason hits batman hard, but batman pushed Jason quickly to the ground.

BATMAN

Todd you say. Tell me, who taught you to fight like this?

JASON

My dad taught me what it takes to survive this place.

BATMAN

How did he die, tell me!

Batman moves Jason arms in a lock. Jason is in pain.

JASON

He got busted. Jail didn't like him. Those things happen you know. But you don't care what happens to people after they have been caught do you?

Jason frees himself.

BATMAN

What about your mother?

Jason stands still. They stop fighting.

JASON

Drug overdose. Took care of her for over a year after my father died. I did what I had to do in order for my mother to live. My experience made me what I am today. Stronger.

BATMAN

And angry.

If I didn't have a bit amnesia right now from those psychopaths, I would have kicked your ass already.

JASON

That explains why you don't recognize me.

BATMAN

What?

JASON

Why are you so interested in my family in anyways. Huh?

Batman is quiet.

Jason turns around and walks away.

BATMAN

Wait.

Jason stops and looks at batman.

BATMAN

I still want my tires back.

JASON

Put them back yourself.

Jason walks away. Suddenly he is grabs from behind and punt against the wall.

BATMAN

No. You are going to put my tires back. And after that we are going for a ride. Unless of course you rather end up at the police station in a lot more pain than you are in now.

CUT TO: 11. EXT. CRIME ALLEY – NIGHT 11.

Jason puts the tires from the Batmobile back.

BATMAN

How about school?

JASON

Passed. School of the streets. Learned a lot. Being alive is proof of that.

Jason attaches the last tire.

JASON

Done.

BATMAN

Get in.

Jason hesitates.

BATMAN

Get in.

Jason and batman get in the Batmobile.

Batman drives away.

12. INT. BATCAVE – NIGHT 12.

The Batmobile stops in the Batcave. Jason and batman get out. Jason is full of wonder.

JASON

Wow. Do this is where you live. It is awesome and creepy at the same time.

Jason stands in front of the Robin costume.

BATMAN

The opening is free.

JASON

What?

BATMAN

Robin. He quit. So the position is open.

JASON

Yea I know. Your sidekick is his own man in Bludhaven now. Calls himself Nightwing.

BATMAN

That is why the position as Robin is open.

JASON

And you want me to fill the role?

BATMAN

No, you do not fit the role.

JASON

So why am I here?

BATMAN

Because you have the potential to fit the role. So let's make a deal. You can live here. Train here. And when you are done training the costume is yours.

JASON

Living with batman. Do you have another name?

Batman takes off his mask. He is Bruce Wayne.

JASON

Wait. You are that pretty boy from Gotham's elite right. Why do you need to dress up as a bat? You have everything.

BRUCE

My name is Bruce Wayne. I became batman to strike fear in those who do others harm. And I want you to help me. So what do you say?

JASON(smiles)

Bring it on old man.
