My Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Reboot

Sup! Today I'm going to discuss a potential project that I might end up doing down the road. It's a reboot of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

I have followed just about every TMNT incarnation, yes even that dreadful live action TV Series. I've read bits and pieces of the original comics but haven't fully explored it. So I've decided why not try my hand at it?

The Setting

It's based in Manhattan, New York and this is a complete reimaging of the TMNT Mythos. Much like how The Dark Knight Trilogy was a reimaging of The Batman Mythos. So it is not going to be one of those reboots that tells the same story but in an updated version. This takes a more different spin on the TMNT Mythos.

The Plot

The Turtles have operated in the shadows, as part of their training as Ninjas. They have one particular rule that each of them followed. Never interact with humans. But suppose one Turtle happens to break that rule?

April's the first human that one of the turtles interacted with and that one happens to be Raphael. And after the panic from that first encounter died down the two started to bond a little. Especially when April was investigating the shady underdealings of TGRI and Baxter wanted to "silence" her so he sends in the Purple Dragons. So the two of them start to have a common enemy because TGRI holds some vital information about where he and his family came from. Also, he needs his brothers because he's aware that he couldn't take on TGRI and Baxter by himself. Eventually, he introduce April to his brothers. Naturally, they were surprised by this but once they hear Raph's side of the story they're intrigued in wanting to know about the investigation. With Mikey ship teasing the hell out of Raph and April, much to Raph's irritation.

The Antagonist

Baxter Stockman is the Disc One Final Boss. With the Purple Dragons acting as The Dragons. There will be hints of The Foot and The Shredder but as for now, they're more like The Dreaded as The Foot will only be used when Baxter feels there is no other option or when The Turtles are becoming more of a threat.

Rating

PG-13 but in a Dark Knight Trilogy style of PG-13.


This is going to be written in prose. It's also going to be done in a trilogy format. The first arc is dealing with Baxter & The Purple Dragons, The Second Arc is Shredder & The Foot, The 3rd is Krang & Dimension X. And i can promise you. None of that beam in the sky BS as far as the latter go.
