After leaving the Gotham City Opera House, Bart's parents are killed by someone with a snake tattoo in a dark alley. Bart's Father pleads to be avenged. Bart does as his father says and swears revenge on the man, giving birth to his superhero form, Bartman, with the help of his Grandfather, as he was once a "superhero". He flies around Gotham City, defeating villains on his way for justice. When [[Serpent]] (similar to Snake) attempts to steal the "Stealable Jewels of the Orient" from the Gotham Natural History Museum, Bartman arrives, saves the Jewels, and kills Serpent by impaling him on the fangs of a snake statue. In the end, a reporter (resembling Lisa), reminds Bartman that the Serpent's death will not revive his parents. Bartman agrees, but adds that he now feels better, plus, he's got zillions of dollars and no parents to tell him what to do.
