The End of an Era

A month later Mayor Hill held another press conference only this time after seeing Gotham almost had a plague and Batman stopped it he finally changed his status on The Dark Knight even though he wasn't happy about it 

Hill: With the Scarecrow's men in custody Gotham City now at rest from fear. And it is with a heavy heart....that our city is once again in depth  to the Batman.  


The audience applaud and Alexander Knox fully recovered after receiving the Batman's cure took this on tape

Hill: And now former Commissioner Gordon would like to say a few words in his last minutes in the force.


They applaud again as Gordon stepped up to the microphones

Gordon: In all my years in the force I have looked upon you all in the greater times. When  Gotham was at worse. And now it's time to publish....my retirement. 


People softly chatted at once Barbra was there in her wheelchair smiling in relief for her father 


Gordon: But I leave you all in good hands to my top deputy in the force. Gotham I present to your new Police commissioner: Rene Montoya. 


The crowd applaud louder as did Barbra and Knox as Montoya stepped forward 

Gordon presents his Commissioner badge to her 


Montoya: Thank you Commissioner Gordon. I want to assure you all...I will do everything in my power to Gotham's streets clean as possible. But can't do it alone. With your help....and the Batman's......we can change Gotham....to build a better tomorrow! 


Applause took motion again but with cheers Commissioner Gordon walks down the stairs slowing the rebuilt Batsignal and switches it on setting off the Danny Elfman Batman theme 

The people cheered at the Batsignal in the sky


Meanwhile after a show Zatanna signs autographs and looks up seeing the Batsignal and smiles

Soon as she stepped off the stairs she saw Alfred standing by his car 

Zatanna smiles and walks down to her with her fans still shouting out to her 


Alfred smiles back and opens the back seat door for her 


Alfred: I prepared tea back at the manor. 


Zatanna: Thank you Alfred.


Zatanna sat in the back as Alfred sat in the driver's seat


Zatanna: So....Bruce working late again?

Alfred: He promised the boys a nightly flight before dinner. 

Zatanna smiles again 


Zatanna: It's ok. My only disappointment is I'm not out there with them.


Alfred: Likewise Ms. Zatarra. Likewise. 


Alfred and Zatanna drive off of the screen

A closing Danny Elfman soundtrack sets in as the camera rolls up the buildings above the theater 


We raise higher and higher until....


....we see Batman Nightwing and Robin standing out in the darkness looking out to Gotham willing to protect her......always

The camera.....CUTS


(.......End credits next)
