THE BATMAN: Episode 1 "Introduction"

This is Fan-Fiction screenplay of the world's greatest detective. I don't own the rights to any of the characters, this is simply for fun.

[1] A WAREHOUSE. The Red Hood’s goons are taking boxes of drugs from the warehouse into a parked semi-truck nearby. Other goons are standing by with guns keeping an eye out. A shadow quickly passes the front of the view. A goon trips and almost falls and drops the box but he didn’t he straitens out.

Goon 1:

Watch it kid! You know what the boss would say if we dropped these boxes of crack! He’d kill us!

They move on. Another shadow quickly moves again behind GUARD 1. GUARD 1 hears the swoosh. He turns to see what it was. The shadow is gone. He turns to GUARD 2.

Guard 1:

Did you hear that?

GUARD 2 shakes his head.

Guard 2:

Hear what?

GUARD 1 thinks for a second, turns around, and starts walking behind a box. GUARD 2 covers him. GUARD 1 looks behind the box. WHOOSH! He’s pulled behind the box very quickly.

Guard 1:

(Fearful, muffled, scream)

After GUARD 1 disappears, GUARD 2 slowly follows gun first. He looks behind the box, gun ready. Nothing. And then, WHOOSH! He’s pulled from up above quickly.

Guard 2:

(Fearful, muffled, scream)

A couple of goons hear the scream.

Goon 2:

You hear something?

Both look at each other, and then they draw their guns. They turn toward the other goons.

Goon 3:

Guys, someone’s here.

Both goons lay down the boxes. One of the goons runs into the warehouse to warn the others. The other goon draws his gun. Two others come to his side with guns drawn. All four look around cautiously. One motions for the others to bring the boxes out. They do quicker. GOON 4 turns to GOON 5.

Goon 4:

(Whisper) Do you think it’s the Ba-?

GOON 5 hushes GOON 4.

Goon 5:

(Whisper) Don’t say his name. Don’t even mention him.

They continue. Another shadow rushes behind the semi. GOON 2 rush toward it.

Goon 2:

(Fearful voice) Guys I saw him!

The other goons rush behind him. They start shooting, and stop after a few shots. They close in. Punches are heard from behind the semi. The other goons with the boxes drop the boxes in fear. The goons from behind the semi are thrown from behind to the outside. The other goons see a tall black character look at them. We can’t tell who he is yet. The goons pull out their guns and start shooting. The character runs behind the semi. The

goons follow him slowly guns ready. Three other goons come out of the warehouse guns drawn. The two heading behind the semi are swooped up by the dark character. Two of the new goons close in but are hit in the gun hands by a small, flying, black boomerang. The boomerang flies toward the black character. The boomerang is seen to be in the shape of a bat. The goons run at the character with fists ready. The character dodges the punches, and kicks them in the gut. The goons hold their guts in pain. The character jumps into the dark light and two ropes fall from the sky, grabbing the goons’ ankles and yanked leaving them dangling upside down in the air. The other goon runs into the warehouse gun pointed toward the door. He moves backward, when all of the sudden, he’s swooshed up by the feet of the now noticeable character with a black cape and cowl. The goon is swooped up by the feet of the character. The character pins the goon to the wall next to the door. The goon looks at the character who is putting hand cuffs on the goon’s wrist to a big metal grate.

Goon 6:

Who are you?

The character just looks at him.

Goon 6:

Are you…(quivering) Are you?

The character turns to be shown who he is. The BATMAN. Black cape and cowl, grey tights with a yellow utility belt, black gloves, black boots, and a black bat insignia.

Batman:

I’m the Batman.
