Film 1- The Caped Crusader
Based on- Partially based on All-Star Batman & Robin The Boy Wonder and War Games.
Villains- Black Mask, Penguin, Tony Zucco
Context- The continuity of the previous films would be hazy at best. This way if people want, it's pseudo-sequel of sorts, or a spiritual successor, or entirely new, similar to Superman Returns and Batman Forever.
Gotham itself would seem partially anachronistic. It would be the metropolis that an urban city would be, but there would also be vast stone spires and gargoyles. I'd really want the city to be a mesh of glass, steel and stone.
Plot- The film focuses on how the rot that poisons Gotham runs right from the lowly drug pushers to the Mayor. Bruce had taken a sabbatical from being Batman having felt he successfully dismantled the mob, and instead focuses solely on his philanthropic endeavours. However, with the dawn of the "freak" they have integrated with the mob leading to two new competing mob factions: Black Mask's and Penguin's.
Synopsis, sort of, but it's quite long, however, if you read it, I'd be grateful

:The opening would sort of set the tone of the film, like the Nolan films. But smaller scale. Black Mask and his men would be beating a Penguin thug tied to a chair. Black Mask would lose his temper exclaim his dominance as the new "King of Gotham" and just murder him in cold blood.
After that we would be introduced to Bruce at the Cave with Alfred, saying he needs to return as Batman, that the rise in crime is related to Cobblepot, who is near untouchable due to his relationship with the Mayor and rumoured to be running for the next election and Black Mask, who is an unknown quantity. It would also be established that Bruce has a new love interest that he has been seeing Julie Madison (It doesn't matter which love interest, they're interchangeable really).
As the "King of Gotham" Black Mask begins to extort the businesses of Gotham, so his thugs attempt to take over the Grayson Circus, before being beaten and thrown out by John and Richard. Zucco, a Penguin enforcer then threatens some of Black Mask's goons who are saying that because of the high profile event the circus is holding, everyone will know Black Mask owns Gotham. Zucco attempts to sweet talk the family into business with Cobblepot and is then physically humiliated by Richard Grayson, who is an adept fighter.
Bruce goes to see Lucius and tells him he needs all new equipment. He is given a new suit that is explained to be some kind of Carbon fibre nanothread meshed over separated, articulated Kevlar plates. He'd also inform Bruce that Sionis Industries is becoming a major threat to the future of Wayne Enterprises. The suit itself would look like a blending of these:
But maybe with the logo of this suit:
Bruce attends the circus with Julie and the event is attacked by Penguin thugs. Tony Zucco then kills the Grayson parents, out of malice, and a firefight breaks out between the two mobs factions and police, Bruce and Julie Madison are injured.
Grayson is taken to the police, and after words with Gordon, whom is now friends with Bruce, is allowed into his custody temporarily. Bruce talks with him and explains that he went through the same, but someone wise set him on a path that, allows him to be productive with his grief.
About a week passes with Richard essentially a prisoner in the Manor with Alfred, and Bruce is non-existent storming through Gotham and attacking both Black Mask and Penguin directly, looking for Zucco.
After a week, Richard is allowed to see what his future may hold if he so pleases, and is allowed free roam around Wayne Enterprises, where he could have a job in the future. He steals several little gadgets from there including specialist bomb goggles, a grapnel and other pieces. Over the next several nights we see both him and Bruce on the hunt for Zucco, both men trying to avoid Alfred and Julie in the Manor.
Richard and Bruce both find out where Zucco is on the same night. Before going after Zucco, Bruce finally catches a glimpse of the second person on the scene. He gives chase across the rooftops of Gotham and from the view of Grayson, loses him. But the Batman plays his "appear out of nowhere" card and captures him. He then captures Zucco, and takes the pair back to the cave.
At the cave, Bruce give Grayson the choice of killing Zucco, or taking the higher road, the road of justice. Richard initially wants to kill Zucco, but relents upon thinking of his parents. Bruce disposes with Zucco to Gordon and reveals to Grayson who he is and that, if Grayson so chooses, he will give him the tools to truly fight against what killed his parents.
Bruce confides in Alfred, that he is worried that he may be destroying Richard's life and that he may not be able to cope with the ramifications alone. Alfred reminds Bruce that Julie had found Bruce when he was in a worse place in his life, and that he should tell her. Which he does, he takes her to the cave, he reveals himself to her as Batman, and what he has done to Richard. She isn't happy but Richard tells them both that he would have continued to look for Zucco and probably ended up a murderer if not for Bruce. Satisfied that Richard still has the chance of a normal life, he and Gordon hatch a plan to quickly shut down Penguin's influence in Gotham, block by block.
Richard explains that when he is ready that he wants to take the name "Robin" as his codename. He explains that Bruce chose bats because they frighten him and that they indirectly caused the death of his parents, it is the pain that drives him. Richard chose Robin because it is a reminder of his parents undying love and that it will be forever what inspires him.
Penguin resorts to bargaining with Black Mask to retain any influence in Gotham. Black Mask says that Penguin must surrender all his territories to him and he will allow him to be his 2nd in command, and that he will soon acquire Wayne Enterprises and will truly hold all of Gotham. Penguin agrees and sends out the order that Black Mask is an ally now. Black Mask of course double crosses him and leaves him bloody and battered to be found in Crime Alley by Gordon.
Richard reveals that he has pretty much designed his Robin costume to Alfred and it is somewhere between these two:
When Black Mask attacks the Manor, kidnaps Julie and Bruce and takes them to Wayne Enterprises where Lucius is already hostage. Black Mask tries to get Bruce and Lucius to sign over their controlling shares to Sionis Industries, they obviously don't and begin torturing them, as well as Julie. Richard beckons Gordon and tells him he is Batman's new partner and gives him details on what's happening, Gordon says he cannot condone this, but Richard disappears earning a reaction like "he even taught him to do that?!".
Robin begins working through the building, taking down the thugs silently. He rescues Bruce, who has spare suits at WE, obviously, that is where they are made.
But from here, I can't work out the rest of what the climax would be other than Julie would be killed in the crossfire.
Batman, Robin and Gordon then discuss that no matter what, the corruption will still continue, Batman says that he will be there to fight it, and that maybe now he has a partner, his life won't be so dark.
