Batfleck's Origin Story

I don't think we'll be getting this anytime soon outside of flashbacks. At least not for Ben Affleck's version.

Batman's origin has been done so many times in comics, television, film, and even video games.

So I now I hand the ball to myself to you fellow fans. What is your ideal origin of the Batman? What do you think should be the origin for Batfleck?

I think elements should be taken from Mask of the Phantasm, Year One, and Earth One.

From Mask of the Phantasm I'd replace the relationship Bruce had with Andrea Beaumont with Talia al Ghul. (I've read this idea here before).

They were both in love with each other to the point that Bruce was going to abandon his budding crusade against crime. To the point where he begs his dead parents for a chance to live a normal life. And then reality knocks.

Talia leaves Gotham (unknowingly pregnant with Damien Wayne) because her father, the immortal Ra's al Ghul, formally inducts her into the League of Assassins.

With no other tethers to normalcy a broken Bruce Wayne finally takes up the fight with an unflinching conviction as Batman.

Before this bitersweet beginning to his crimefighting career, Bruce traveled the world acquiring the skills and knowledge that would make him the World's Greatest Detective.

Right after his parents' murder Alfred Pennyworth, his legal guardian and the Waynes' head of security was his first Master, primarily in Judo and Jiu-jitsu.

I'd also make the Waynes and Cobblepots family friends and by extension Bruce and Oswald.

This can serve as an explanation as to why Batman has more leeway with the Penguin (better the lesser devil you know) and allows him to operate his gun running operation out of the Iceberg Lounge & Casino on the condition that he serves as a confidential informant for GCPD's MCU.

Another little bit of world building I'd put in is making Alfred and Billy Wintergreen (Deathstroke's only friend and mentor) comrades from their SAS days.

Thoughts? Ideas? What do you think Batfleck's origin should be?
