New Heroes

New Heroes is the first episode of Season 1 of ‘’Hulk & Batwoman’’ and the first episode of the series overall.

Plot
Kate Kane (Vanessa Morgan) sits in her room, listening to a police scanner that she confiscated. When she hears of a tower-like building full of people being held up by Black Mask’s henchmen, she suits up in her Batwoman suit and drives there on her motorcycle. After some snooping, Kate finds a vantage point and separates the few goons with guns and silently picks them off, frightening the unarmed ones. She then fives through a window, ambushing the thugs as she takes them down with some flashy punches and kicks. As the hostages are tended to by paramedics, an unnamed girl (Nina Dobrev) approaches Batwoman and thanks her for saving her life before asking if there’s any way she can personally thank her. In response to this, Kate just grins.

Over on Earth-616, young superhero Hulk is fighting the mutant Pyro with assistance from Devil Dinosaur. The pyromaniacal mutant blasts the two with streams of fire, but Hulk cancels out his attack with a thunderclap, causing a ripple effect, destroying the flame igniters on Pyro’s suit, rendering him powerless as Devil Dino apprehended him by tail-whipping him against a wall. However, their victory is short-lived, as a large portal opens up above the two and suck them into it. Once they are both sucked in, the wormhole then closes.

Hulk and Devil Dino then arrive on Earth-3 in the city of Gotham. However, Devil Dino crashes in a massive shipyard while Hulk falls through an overpass bridge...

Cut to Kate's apartment where her hookup for the night pushes her down onto the bed. They then begin to have raunchy, wild sex until Kate eventually breaks. Afterwards, the girl cuddles a now exhausted Kate. Kate kisses her and makes her promise to not tell anyone that she's Batwoman. The girl swears on her life that she won't tell.

We return to Hulk, who jumps across the rooftops of the city, desperately looking for Devil Dinosaur. Before he can start calling out to his dino friend, he overhears a woman screaming as some thugs harass her in an alley below. Growling in disgust, Hulk leaps down from the roof and punches the thugs, but he uses minimal force so none of them die; ever since he got his powers, he's held back his strength when dealing with human villains so people don't die.

Upon defeating the thugs, Hulk asks the woman if she's okay. She nods, slightly put off by Hulk's appearance as she heads home, but not before thanking him for saving her life. This puts a smile on his face.

We cut back to Kate's apartment. As Kate sleeps following the amazing sex with her hookup, the girl quietly gets dressed then sneaks out of the apartment, but not before pecking Kate on the cheek. As the girl leaves, Kate smiles in her sleep.

Elsewhere in Gotham, the Joker and a small, beautiful girl dressed like him look at a blueprint of a large bank, clearly intent on robbing it. The girl asks Joker what they'll do about Batwoman, concerned that she'll take them down. The Joker just scoffs, saying he's dealt with one bat hero; he can handle a smaller one.

Later in the day, Joker and his sidekick start to rob the bank, with the girl holding several people hostage while Joker stuffs pallets of money into some duffel bags. Suddenly, Kate, now in her Batwoman suit, bursts in through a skylight, kicking the Joker against a wall and then uses his dropped shotgun to knock down Joker's sidekick. Before she can arrest Joker, the girl recovers and grabs Batwoman from behind, prompting Joker to take advantage of this and runs out of the bank with the money and speeds off in his van, leaving his sidekick behind, who is then thrown off by Batwoman and then cuffed. The girl then stares at the bank door blankly, horrified that Joker just left her behind...
