Shadow of the Batman/Issue One

Transcript (unfinished)
A man and a woman in heavy clothing are shown wandering through a snowy field in the middle of a snowstorm. The two look around the area with flashlights, though the woman doesn't find anything. The woman turns and sees that the man has found tracks in the snow. They follow them to a log cabin. The woman pulls her hood down, lowers her scarf, and takes off her snow goggles. A caption box appears beside her head reading:
 * Man: Over here.
 * Woman: So this is where he lives, eh?

Name: Vicki Vale Age: 29 Notes: Reporter


 * Vicki: I don't know what I expected but I really didn't expect this.

A hand hits the back of the man's neck. Vicki turns, revealing the man lying unconscious in the snow while someone stands over him. The man is revealed to be Bruce Wayne, also wearing heavy clothes and with a beard. Name: Bruce Wayne Age: 40 Notes: ???
 * Man: He must be a minimalist. It's--
 * Man: Hrrg!
 * Vicki: Huh?!
 * ???: Looking for me I'm guessing?
 * Bruce: Make the interview fast. I have things to do.

Bruce grabs the man's arm and pulls down his sleeve, revealing a tattoo. Bruce turns to Vicki. Bruce and Vicki sit inside the cabin, the unconscious man lying on a bed. Vicki puts down her bag and pulls out a microphone and a recorder. A one-panel flashback of a bloodied Robin on the floor with a gloved hand holding a crowbar hovering over him is shown. Bruce looks away. Bruce stays quiet for a second before standing up. Sometime later, Bruce is shown alone once again, cutting wood on a log. When finished, he shoves the ax into the log. He gets distracted by odd noises above him and looks up, revealing a colony of bats flying above him. Bruce watches them in silence.
 * Vicki: You knocked out my partner! why would you do that!?
 * Bruce: You see this? this is the symbol of the League of Assassins. All of their members have it tattooed on to their skin. If I had to guess, I'd say your partner wanted to get their hands on me.
 * Vicki: The League of Assassins? the terrorists? aren't they usually interested in Batman? why would they want you?
 * Bruce: ...I have no idea...
 * Bruce: Anyway, I believe you're here for an interview?
 * Vicki: Testing, testing. This is Vicki Vale speaking. The current date is January 4th. Ahem... hm...
 * Bruce: You seem nervous.
 * Vicki: Um, yes. Apologies, Mister Wayne, but in my defense you do have a reputation for being rather hard to interview.
 * Bruce: It's fine, I'll answer as truthfully as I can.
 * Vicki: Right, well... one year ago today, you left Gotham City. Correct?
 * Bruce: Yes.
 * Vicki: You left and told no one why. Are you comfortable enough yet to say your reason?
 * Bruce: It was... personal.
 * Bruce: And no, I don't think I'm comfortable enough just yet.
 * Vicki: That's alright, that's alright, no pressure. No need to push yourself if you don't want to.
 * Bruce: Please stop being so professional...
 * Vicki: Oh, um... sorry... I just, uh... anyway, tell me, do you ever intend to return to Gotham?
 * Bruce: That's... a question I ask myself on the regular.
 * Vicki: You aren't even sure if you'll come back?
 * Vicki: But... you have to, don't you? you're the last of the Waynes. Gotham needs you.
 * Bruce: Go home, Vicki. Make sure your partner is taken in by the authorities. I'll call someone to pick you up.
