Gotham Knights (AKA Batman Begins 3) Third Installment in the series Possible story scenario

With Batman on the run, Sal Maroni and his men no longer live in fear of the Dark Knight. Gotham is more dangerous than ever and Bruce Wayne is torn between being himself, and taking control as the hero that Gotham Deserves. When Lucius Fox discovers that a Wayne business executive known as Roman Sionis (a childhood acquaintance of Bruce Wayne) is involved in less than admirable activities, Bruce fires him and tells him to never step foot in Wayne Enterprises again. Eventually, Roman loses everything (including his girlfriend) and is forced to move in with his parents at the city limits. He blames Bruce Wayne for this and becomes obsessed with him, constantly thinking up ways to sabotage Bruce Wayne. His parents notice the change in him and become worried. They tell him that they won't support him any longer unless he stops obsessing about Bruce and straightens his life out. One night, as he is frantically writing notes trying to find a way to get his revenge on Bruce Wayne, he knocks a candle over and his desk goes up in flames. Rather than putting the fire out, he stares into it menacingly and leaves the home burning with his parents inside. As the house burns to the ground, Roman carves a mask out of the burnt wooden remains and tranforms into BLACK MASK.Eventually, BLACK MASK kills Sal Maroni and takes over as the lord of the Gotham underworld, forcing Sals men to wear masks at all times. He begins refering to this group of criminals as the False Face Society. Eventually, BLACK MASK decides that it's time to get his revenge on Bruce Wayne. He begins kidnapping employees of Wayne Enterprises, and their bodies turn up around the city with masks on their faces. BLACK MASK also abducts his ex fiance, and disfigures her horribly so that they could be reunited. She eventually kills herself, and Roman replaces her with a mannequin that he talks to as if she were Circe. Comissioner Gordon can't stand the new Gotham, and holds a press conference to speak with the citizens. He explains to them that they were all responsible for casting out the Batman, but it's now that they need him more than ever. Bruce is reluctant to put on his suit. It isn't until BLACK MASK and the False Face Society break into Bruce's newly build mansion in the middle of the night and kidnap Alfred, that Bruce realises what he needs to do. He needs to save his city from this menacing evil, he needs to do what's right for Gotham, and for Alfred. Gotham needs BATMAN.While fighting BLACK MASK, someone else enters the chaos, and Batman is knocked unconscious. When he comes to, he is being dragged through an alley to safety. The young man explains that BLACK MASK killed his family. Batman thanks him for saving his life. The young man explains that he was just following Batmans lead, Gotham needs heroes they can trust. As he leaves, Batman calls out to him and asks for his name. The young man turns to him and says, "Just call me Robin". He turns and catapults himself into the air, soaring away into the Gotham night. A caped crusader.
