Bruce sits in the bunker staring at the Bat-computer. Lucius arrives with food.
"I brought you something if you're hungry."
Bruce doesn't respond.
"Bruce you have to get out more and I am not just talking about as Batman. There is a world out there waiting for you. Everyone keeps wondering where you are and I have to make excuses. Why not retake control of the company? Go out and eat, meet people, or find a girl and get married."
Bruce finally turns around.
"Really Lucius? Is that really important in life? Should I really enjoy living knowing that around the world there are people who don't get to live these luxuries? I already know what the world has for me. I lost it years ago IN THAT DAMN ALLEY!!! I HAVE A PURPOSE WHICH IS TO PUT OUT THE RABID DOGS AND PERMANENTLY CLEAN THE FUCKING SCUM THAT TRASH THIS WORLD AND ITS INHABITANTS!!!"
"So you want justice?" Lucius asks.
Bruce mockingly laughs.
"No Lucius, I want those who harm the innocent to get what they deserve! A bullet in their fucking head!"
"I know you're angry but just killing people won't take away the pain you're feeling. Sometimes it's better to keep them alive than kill them. At least they can suffer."
Suddenly the Bat-Computer starts making a noise.
"What's going on?" Lucius asks.
Bruce goes to the Bat-Computer and looks at the screen.
"The Penguin struck again. There was an attack at a high school. Police found fingerprints belonging to several wanted men who are members of Penguin's gang."
"So what is your plan?"
"I am taking them out. All of them!"
