Eugenics: Batman Novel Concept (Fan-Fiction)

Batman is kidnapped and taken to the castle of Ra's al Ghul where he must serve as a mock-trial 'barrister' for Eugenics debates!

As some might be curious about what my future plans are, I'll disclose that I might work on a complete Batman (DC Comics) fan-fiction novel with the below-written storyboard concept.

Thanks for your readership,

Batman woke up in a haze and found himself tied up in some kind of basement dungeon. Having been Gotham City's masked valiant secret crime-fughting vigilante and 'dark knight' and taking down truly eerie maniacs such as Scarecrow (a fear-toxin wielding sociopath), Penguin (a sewer-dwelling crime-master), and Poison Ivy (a seductive eco-terrorist) had Batman acquire deadly enemies in the underworld. These same enemies were responsible for his current mysterious dungeon-incarceratIon.

Batman was kept tied up and rolled in a special wheelchair to the second-floor of his 'giant incarceration-lair which turned out to be a large abandoned castle owned by the nefarious Eastern European eco-terrorist Ra's al Ghul. Batman was placed in his wheelchair tied up to be greeted by Ra's himself. The ghoulish Eastern European who'd planned the terrible eco-terrorist attack on Gotham Park brought Batman to his dark secret castle-lair (somewhere in Europe) for a reason.

RA'S: "Perhaps I should feel honored you're gracing us here with your mighty presence, Batman, since, you are, after all, Gotham City's respected 'dark knight' and sage of sorts, but I've brought to my castle hideout, so you can't serve me as a 'special-case lawyer' for a mock-trial about Eugenics that I've arranged! We suspect that you're some kind of Gotham City known socialite or businessman by day, perhaps the illustrious Bruce Wayne, head of the successful Wayne Industries, but in this trial, you are only Batman. We want you to serve as this Eugenics case lawyer. Failure will result in decapitation."

Batman quickly concluded that he was in Ra's' eerie castle in Europe to appease some underworld vanity Ra's was entreating for his criminal allies with this sly Eugenics trial obviously meant to symbolize some meditation on nationalized criminal fascism. Batman had no choice but to serve as the dedicated special mock-trial case-lawyer for this castle event Ra's had arranged and had Batman drugged and kidnapped to serve as 'barrister' of intrigue. Batman wisely suspected some of his usual Gotham City nemeses such as Joker and Poison Ivy, who'd recently escaped the prison Batman placed them in, would be present as witnesses for Ra's Eugenics debate.

BATMAN: "I sit before this castle courtroom, tied up, but mentally prepared to serve as this arranged Eugenics case barrister. I see the jury and audience is comprised of some of my Gotham City adversaries, including Penguin and Poison Ivy, alongside some of Ra's' own underworld political allies. We see Ra's himself presiding as the customs judge! I will argue here tonight, ladies and gentlemen, that Eugenics, in any form or method, espouses the wholesale exclusion of potentially complete clans or ethnicities of human beings and must therefore always be considered a thing of controversy."

Some of the castle trial attendees cheered Batman's shrewd and eloquent argument. However, the adversarial Penguin decided to argue that Eugenics could promote dialogue about 'racial hygiene' and could therefore be cited in Gotham City discussions about eradicating unprofitable civil disobedience. Poison Ivy added to this discussion by arguing that modern eco-terrorism was a reflection of urban angst and could best be addressed with offbeat governance tactics and schemas such as Eugenics. Since Eugenics was a discredited scientific pursuit advocating the labeling of racial groups as 'unfit' or unclean, Batman was ordered by the castle trial judge, Ra's to offer a comprehensive counter-argument.

BATMAN: "Well, it's pretty clear that there are pro-Eugenics voices out there advocating experimentation with racial groups for the purpose of Utopian 'revolution' or state improvements. However, I'm honestly confident that the judge Ra's will return me safely to Gotham City so we can continue our usual urban street-fights over urban sanity! I'm confident, because I can argue here tonight that Eugenics can (and should!) remain a wholly private and 'dinner-table chat' rather than a 'state' dilemma."
