There can only be one brother extras 5 - 25 + bonus parts

ACT 1: "WHO'S THE (DEAD) GUY IN THE MANTLE?"

Opening Number: "Shadow in the Manor"

*(Gotham Manor. Night. Damian returns early from a mission, sensing an intruder. The Batfamily is out—except for Alfred, who hums as he polishes a teacup. Danny Fenton, half-asleep, leans against the kitchen counter. The lights flicker—Damian attacks!—Danny catches him mid-air. The orchestra strikes!)

DAMIAN: (snarling, suspended in Danny’s grip) "Who dares invade the Bat’s domain? What fool walks where death is plain? I’ll strike you down— AGAIN! AND AGAIN!—

DANNY: (yawns, spins him gently like a top) "Kid, please. I’ve fought my own reflection. You’re adorable— Now sit down, have some tea."

(Alfred enters, unbothered. Damian is outraged. The chandelier sways ominously.)

ALFRED: (smoothly) "Ah, Master Damian. How kind of you to greet our guest. Now, if you’ll excuse me— The shadows require their breakfast."

(Lights fade. The curtains pull back to reveal—)

Group Number: "TT (The Tiny Tyrant’s Lament)"

(The Batfamily returns. Dick is thrilled. Jason is suspicious. Tim is recording everything. Damian sulks on a chandelier.)

DICK: (dramatic flourish) "A brother! A friend! A mystery to unravel! He caught Damian mid-stab— Is he magic? Trained? TROUBLE?!"

JASON: (loading a gun, eyeing Danny) "He’s too calm. He’s too chill. I don’t trust him— I WON’T— (…Why’s he floating now?) OH COME ON."

DAMIAN: (from the rafters) "TT! TT! TT! I hate you all! ESPECIALLY HIM— (…But his shoulders are good for climbing.)

(Danny, now upside-down, grins. The Batcomputer glitches.)

ACT 2: "GHOSTS, BATS, AND OTHER TERRIFYING THINGS"

Villain Interlude: "Why So Ecto?"

(The Rogues gather in a secret hideout. Joker is fuming. Riddler is traumatized.)

JOKER: (wild-eyed, clutching a deflated whoopee cushion) "I planted bombs! I stole diamonds! Then a tiny ghost girl turned my acid into LEMONADE! SHE SIPPED IT AND SMILED— WHAT AM I MISSING?!"

HARLEY: (twirling, unfazed) "Bats are fun! Ghosts are funner! Wanna join their chaos crew? I’M ALREADY THEIR AUNTIE— THEY TOLD ME SO!"

*(Pause. The Rogues stare. Then—BANG!—Ellie crashes through the ceiling.)

ELLIE: (grinning, covered in glitter) "DID SOMEONE SAY CHAOS?"*

(The Rogues scream. The scene cuts to—)

Emotional Ballad: "Home (Is Where the Haunt Is)"

(Danny and Damian on a rooftop. Damian pretends he isn’t attached. Danny knows.)

DANNY: (softly, watching Gotham’s skyline) "I was living and dead, Neither here nor there— Then you dropped from the ceiling, Like a tiny, stabby prayer."

DAMIAN: (grumbling, but leaning closer) "TT. Obviously. You’re adequate. (…Don’t leave.)"

(A shadow passes over the moon. The Ghost Zone hums.)

ACT 3: "THERE CAN ONLY ONE (FINAL BATTLE)"

Showdown: "Danny vs. Santa (Holiday Havoc)"

(Flashback. The North Pole. Snow flies. Danny duels Santa on a frozen lake.)

SANTA: (booming, dodging ecto-blasts) "YOU’RE RUINING CHRISTMAS! YOUR LIST SAYS ‘TERROR’!

DANNY: (grinning, mid-backflip) "YOU STOLE MY SNICKERDOODLES— PREPARE FOR WRATH!"

(Ellie and Damian sled in on a ghost polar bear, singing backup.)

ELLE & DAMIAN: "FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! KICK HIS JOLLY BUTT! THERE CAN ONLY ONE— (…But two is more fun!)"

(Santa surrenders, tossing Danny a magic cookie tin. The Batfamily applauds from a snowdrift.)

Finale: "We’re All a Little Dead Inside"

(The entire cast assembles on stage. Bats, ghosts, even the Rogues.)

FULL CAST: (harmonizing, confetti cannon) "Gotham’s dark! The nights are long! But with a ghost, it’s kind of fun! So welcome home, you weird dead son— THE CHAOS HAS ONLY BEGUN!"

*(Danny bows. Damian stabs a balloon. Ellie hugs the Joker. Alfred serves tea to a very tired Batman.)

CURTAIN.

STANDING OVATION.

POST-CREDITS SCENE: Constantine, smoking in the alley behind the theater: "I hate musicals." (A shadow nods in agreement.)

A/N: This is Broadway-ready. Casting suggestions:

Danny: A chaotic tenor with parkour skills.

Damian: A 12-year-old with resting murder face.

Ellie: A feral soprano who actually stabs the crew.
