A New Bat Takes Flight

A New Bat Takes Flight is the premiere episode of season one of Hulk & Stephanie Brown: The Series.

Plot
The episode starts with a bus driving on the road toward Gotham City. In the bus is Bruce Banner, a nerdy looking guy in his twenties. He and the bus driver make some small talk, with the bus driver asking why he'd want to come to a place like Gotham. Banner chuckles and asks if the city is really that bad. The bus driver says "No...it's worse." Cut to a bank in Gotham where thugs that belong to Black Mask's gang are robbing it. Two thugs stand outside of the main room with one of them saying that Black Mask will be very happy with the money they're bringing in. A figure then drops down silently from the vents and takes them both out by knocking their heads together. It's a blonde girl in a Batgirl costume. She talks to someone through an ear piece in the cowl and the person on the other end of the ear piece tells her to get back into the vents. She uses the batclaw to zip back into the vents as the thugs are almost finished collecting the money in the main room.

Cut back to Banner as the bus arrives in the city. The bus driver wishes him luck out there and Banner thanks him before stepping off the bus. He notices a diner down the street and decides to get something to eat. Back at the bank, the blonde Batgirl watches the Black Mask thugs from the air vents. One of the thugs says that the van will be arriving shortly to take them back to the hideout. Batgirl acts quickly and slowly kicks the grating off of the air vent exit. She then throws a smoke grenade down into the main room, surprising all of them. She jumps down and starts quickly knocking them out. Three of the thugs all aim their guns on her and she grabs another gadget from her belt. She throws it down and bright lights start to shine from it, momentarily blinding the three thugs. Thinking quickly, Batgirl uses a batarang to knock all three of them out. She takes down the rest of the thugs just as the police arrive. She gets out through the air vents again, not being seen.
