The Fatman Rises

Nobody had ever seen or heard of Batman ever since The Joker left Gotham City in absolute panic nearly four years ago. This was because Bruce Wayne wanted to make sure Gotham City was able to defend for itself. He knew Batman wouldn't be around to save the day forever.

Commissioner Gordon was now responsible for fighting the crime in the city without any assistance from the "Caped Crusader".

As time went by, the citizens of Gotham felt safe even without the help of Batman. The fine efforts achieved by Commissioner Gordon and the Gotham Police Department were enough to keep the streets clean of crime for several years. Bruce Wayne was proud with the fact that Gotham City had finally learned to defend itself.

All that changed when a large shadowy behemoth arrived. It attacked Commissioner Gordon's police force with vicious rage and brutality. Even Gotham City's SWAT team was unable to contain this large "beast of a man". This so-called "man" single-handedly slaughtered the entire SWAT team and left Commissioner Gordon in a vegetative state. Luckily the E.M.T.s arrived just in time to take care of Gordon. If they had not come when they did, Gotham would have lost one of its heroes.

The horrific event was seen on the evening news and none other than Bruce Wayne himself was watching. He knew the peaceful period that had graced Gotham City had now come to an abrupt end. Not since The Joker had an evil so great emerged and left Gotham City in complete chaos. There was only one person who could stop this threat - and that man was Batman.

Bruce Wayne questioned to Alfred, "Shall the Dark Knight rise again?"

Alfred knew it wouldn't be easy as Batman had not seen any physical action for the last few years. He was now rather fat and lazy.

Alfred smartly remarked, "The last thing Gotham needs is Fatman. Perhaps Robin can come back from his ballet classes to help you sir."

Bruce Wayne objected, "I won't sacrifice Robin to that madman Alfred! He's far too weak to face an enemy like this!"

Bruce Wayne knew he needed time to become the fit masculine fighter he once was. Now was the time Batman needed to rise again. However, getting into a slim figure in less than 24 hours would be impossible.

The "beast of a man" asked in front of the news cameras, "Can the Dark Knight please come out to play?"

Bruce Wayne had no idea what this guy wanted from Batman, but he knew he had to act quickly to stop further blood from being shed.

Bruce Wayne paid a visit to Commissioner Gordon. He must have known if this beast had any kind of weaknesses. He was the only person alive who saw him eye-to-eye.

Commissioner Gordon used to be an lively energetic fellow with no fear, but on the day Bruce Wayne saw him in the hospital bed, fear was written all over his face.

The nurse tried to calm him down when he screamed "Don't kill me" repeatedly. Bruce decided to leave and return when Gordon was fit enough to talk.

After several hours has passed, the nurse came and informed Bruce Wayne that Gordon was now ready to talk. Gordon needed an oxygen mask in order to speak.

As soon as Bruce came into the room, Gordon immediately stated "Batman has to come back."

Bruce Wayne was taken aback by Gordon's demand, "Look at me Gordon. I'm in no shape to take on that genetic freak of a man."

Gordon gave what was the best advice Bruce Wayne had heard in a long time, "Use your weight to your advantage. That way, you might be able to squash him. As they say, more weight equals more dates."

Bruce Wayne smirked, "I'm gonna need a bigger Batman suit."

Luckily, Bruce Wayne is rich and called up his own personal costume designer to make him a bigger suit. Bruce's new and bigger physique would have the clear advantage in the fight. Batman answered "The Beast's" call and announced on the evening news he would face him one-on-one at downtown Gotham at midnight.

The "Beast" referred to himself as Bane and he waited at the centre of Gotham's CBD for the arrival of Batman.

Bane screamed, "Come out now you coward!"

Batman thought to himself, the only coward here was Bane who punched the defenseless Gordon and nearly killed him.

Little did Bane know was that Batman was not going to confront him. Batman wanted to drop on top of him by jumping off a building. Batman was certain the impact from the fall would instantly disable Bane. A technique like this would not have worked before but with his new bulgier physique, Batman was sure this plan would work.

Batman took a deep breath and soared through the air as much as his weight would let him. Bane didn't expect a thing when a loud thud jolted throughout the entire city. After the dust had cleared, it was evident that only one person was left standing. Onlookers weren't sure who the figure was as both men were very fat.

A loud cheer from the crowd emanated as Batman stood up and shouted "Bane's reign of terror is now over!"

Although Batman almost flattened Bane to death, he did not kill him. Batman didn't intend to kill Bane as that was against his code of honour. Afterwards, the police came and took Bane into custody while Batman smiled to the crowd. Robin and Alfred clapped happily back at Wayne Manor while watching the events unfold on TV.

Down at the hospital, a reinvigorated Commissioner Gordon uttered to himself, "Tonight, Gotham City did not see the return of Batman, but the beginning of Fatman."
