Characters:
Andrew Lee Ricker (Superhero)
Elizabeth (Lisa) Eowyn Peters (the girl)
Aries Wes Gail (the villain & Lee's arch enemy)
Opens with newspaper image the villain Aries dressed in dark seemingly "normal" clothing, beating up the superhero Lee. The headline reads something like, "Super-Rivalry: Lee is Defeated by Villain Aries, Yet Again." Lisa folds down the top and tucks the newspaper under her arm, revealing the sight of the superhero Lee receiving an award for dedicated service from the mayor. Lisa raises an eyebrow, "Really..."
Just as she starts to really watch the ceremony, her purse gets snatched. The newspaper is seemly dropped as well. She looks around to see a man, hastily try to make his way out of the crowd. Lisa takes chase, screaming at him to stop. Lee hears her scream and sees her run after the man. He publicly announces that he is going to help her and excuses himself with a dazzlingly smile.
Lisa is led into an alley where we see people with similar clothing to the purse thief appear and begin to crowd around her. Lee arrives, seemingly in the nick of time, and begins giving a speech, scolding their awful ways. And as he keeps talking and talking, the hot air coming from his mouth is literally keeping the thugs at bay. Lisa, not seeing him actually taking action, begins to clobber the thugs, knocking them all out before Lee even realizes that they're no longer standing.
Stunned, he stares at her as Lisa dusts herself off, grabs her purse, gives him a disapproving look, and begins to walk away. Lee, tries to stop her, asking if there really isn't anything he can do for her. She looks around, telling him honestly that there isn't anything that he can help her with. Deflated and embarrassed, he stares after her as she walks the few extra feet to the street ahead. A car is stopped only feet from her, and a man steps out of the car. Lee instantly recognizes him as his arch enemy Aries, and freezes angrily on the spot. Lisa gives Aries a kiss. Aries spots Lee and Lisa walks around to the other side of the car and gets in. Aries calls to Lee, giving him a lazy solute, "Until next time." Lee is flabbergasted and so angry that steam is visibly coming out of his ears. Aries steps into the car, and drives off, leaving Lee standing there.

Focus for piece: I want to A) attempt hand painted backgrounds. I think it will be a good opportunity for me to get away from the screen and use my painting skills.
B) I want to focus more on emotions and body language. I'm terrible in this department and good animations can't live without it. If I can actually make two characters that seem alive and actually react to each other, then I'll be happy.
This is kind of the look I'm thinking of for the villain as far as clothes.
