MICHAEL

   A dirty jeep sits in the middle of an alleyway, with the blinding headlights shining out into the quiet four-lane street. We now recognize this jeep, belonging to the Doyles, to be empty. Rain begins to sprinkle and the thunder and lightening begin to start up. This city is a little too quiet, this city is Gotham- Year 2005.

   Batman arrives soon enough, by leaping across the building tops his cape flapping rapidly through the windy, wet air. He stops at the edge looking down in the alleyway in

Suspicion. Its obvious now that this vehicle was not on his route. Batman glares all around it not seeing anyone, so without anymore hesitation he glides down.

   This alleyway is a quarter size wider than most, with rusty dumpsters on each side. It has a pitch-black dead end, yet it seems it could go on for miles. The streetlight on the streets end flickers, but the street is well lit itself. Batman heads for the Jeep and yanks the door open with a good pull. The radio is on at a low level playing some soft tune that old people might dance to in a 50s restaurant. So the cape crusader leans down and takes a look inside.

   What he sees torn leather seats and a hint of blood on the back wind shield. He gasps in fear, taking his body out from the gruesome sight. Fore. He also saw, the body [unknowth to him] of Kara and Danny Doyle. They had been gutted with what appeared to have been a really big blade of some kind. Batman then slams the door with widened eyes and his palms wiping off the tears about to roll down his cheek.

   A flash of lightening strikes as the rain begins to pour. Batman is starteled [wouldnt normally be] then suddenly hears a CLANK! The cold wind breezes across him, his cape sways and suddenly he hears another CLANK! Batman looks up to his right [His back against the jeep] to see [Unknowth to him once more] the body of Tommy Doyle. Hung from a clothesline that bends downward, because of the weight.

   Tommys blood drips down from his mouth into a small puddle. The rain and blood are of course mixed together. Batman is now more curious than ever. Suddenly a small boys

cry is heard by the rusty dumpster- lighter end side. Batman rushes over to see Steven Doyle [aka Steven Myers]. He looks over at the darker end to see a figure emerging. This SHAPE comes out from the watery fall, it is now revealed to be.. Michael Myers!

   Batman stands up away from the kid to look at this man who wields a big butchers knife. The Shape walks towards the cape crusader, in a fury rage, gets a running start and then leaps into the air. Spreading his arms therefore spreading his cape, to kick using all of his weight to knock the Shape back a couple of feet. Batman then raises his fists to give the killer a right SOK to the face. Then a left punch with all his might, Michael staggers back ONLY a foot.

   Then, as Batman attempts a third punch, Michael snatches his arm and twists it around

Behind his back. Then Michael slashes at Batmans backbone, spreading blood a little bit down on the ground. Batman lunges forward away from Michael hitting the ground hard.

He spits a bit of blood and then pushes himself up turning around quickly ready to strike again at the maniac who took lives in Gotham.

   As Michael walks closer, Batman readies the only batarang with him. Then gives a good toss, the batarang rams into the Shapes upper chest. Very little blood squirts out, yet the sharp blade is half deep. Michael pulls it out and crushes it in many pieces with one squeeze of the hand. Batman: Holy Shit- Just then, Steven gets in the Shapes view. He stops to cock his head to both sides. Steven is the last of his blood-line, and this time Michael intends to succeed.

   Batman strikes at the Shape once more with a good kick. But as he gets his leg in the air, Michael snatches it pushing the shin towards the kneecap, busting Batmans leg open. He screams in pain. Michael shows no mercy, in fact, the he sticks the knife deep into Batmans forehead. The cape crusader is no more, and Michael starts off to find Steven.

   {It was Batmans anger that got him murdered. Plus the shape is a helluva more cool}
