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.
[16] OUTSIDE MARONI’S HIDEOUT. The BAT-MOBILE drives past the
officers. DETECTIVE BULLOCK is not with them.
[17] COMMISSIONER GORDON’S OFFICE. COMMISSIONER GORDON, CHIEF
O’HARA, and DETECTIVE BULLOCK twiddle their thumbs waiting for news. They hear
a knocking on the window. BATMAN is there with BARBRA in his arm. GORDON,
O’HARA, and BULLOCK rush over towards them. [AD-LIB RELIEF] GORDON takes BARBRA
from BATMAN’s arm.
Commissioner
Gordon:
Barbra, are you alright?
BATMAN inconspicuously leaves.
Detective
Bullock:
What happened Barbra?
Barbra:
I’ll tell you all. But first I need to say tha-
She turns to see that BATMAN is
gone.
Barbra:
He’s gone!
Commissioner
Gordon:
Well, I guess he stayed long enough to prove you
wrong Bullock.
[18] THE RED GANG’S HIDEOUT. The gang is just sitting around
doing nothing. The RED HOOD comes out.
The Red
Hood:
Well, is The Batman here yet?
He looks around. No one’s seen him. BILL walks up to him.
Bill:
Why do you want him to come here?
The Red
Hood:
Do I ever ask you why you wear that shirt?
Bill shakes his head.
The Red
Hood:
Then why do you ask me my plan?
Bill:
You have a plan?
The Red
Hood:
Wouldn’t I be a fine criminal without a plan? My plan is for the
Batman to capture us and take us to prison. Something big will be in tomorrow.
In fact, it’s something huge! And if we’re captured by the Batman, we get in on
it.
We can see BATMAN looking through the skylight, displeased. ONE
HOUR LATER. THE RED HOOD gets up to go.
The Red
Hood:
Well, this has been fun, but it’s midnight. I’ve got to go.
[19] THE NEXT MORNING AT BRUCE’S HOUSE. 9:00 AM. BRUCE is in a
suit and tie walking towards the door.
Alfred:
Why didn’t you capture them?
Bruce:
That was their plan all along. I’m wearing my costume under my
suit in case something goes wrong.
Alfred:
Do you expect something to go wrong?
Bruce:
They wanted something that was in this morning. I think it’s
Langstrom’s experiment.
Alfred:
Why? They’re criminals, why would they want something in
sciences?
BRUCE shrugs and walks out the
door.
Bruce:
Could you bring the car around Alfred?
Alfred:
Of course Master Bruce.
[20] WAYNE ENTERPRISES: SCIENCES. BRUCE sits down next to HARVEY
DENT. The two men shake hands.
Bruce:
Bruce Wayne.
Dent:
Harvey Dent.
Bruce:
I know, I’ve heard all about you.
Dent:
And I’ve heard a lot about you too Mr. Wayne.
Bruce:
Call me Bruce.
Dent:
Alright Bruce but you have to call me Harvey.
Bruce:
Alright. I didn’t think science was your thing Harvey.
Dent:
It’s not, but some of the prisoners I’ve prosecuted are the lab
rats for this experiment.
Bruce:
What did you say?
Dent:
I said, some of the prisoners I’ve prosecuted are the lab rats
for this experiment.
BRUCE looks at the men in orange. There must have been like,
twenty of them (busy District attorney huh?) They look like the lab rats. BRUCE
starts to get up.
Bruce:
I’ve got to go.
But LANGSTROM gets up and addresses the audience causing BRUCE
to sit back down.
Langstrom:
May I have your attention please? This is the most extraordinary
experiment the world has ever seen. This formula can make a person twice of
what he was. We tested this on real rats and they stunk so bad a man was
hospitalized. I did get word that he can now breathe. Today, we will experiment
on some of the worst criminals ever, making them twice what they are now.
Dent:
(Hushed) What’s he doing?
LANGSTROM tells his men to release the sheet over a big pool
full of green muck. Some in the audience plug their noses.
Langstrom:
Prisoners, walk into it!
The prisoners obey. Dent can’t believe what’s going on. He turns
to see Bruce isn’t next to him.
Dent:
Wayne?
The goo is above the prisoner’s heads. After a dramatic pause,
they jump out and attack the audience. A special thing about them, they have
pale faces with big smiles. They are fast and strong. One has pinned DENT to
the ground. He pulls a knife out, laughing, when all of the sudden BATMAN
swoops in and knocks the unsuspecting goofball to the ground, still giggling.
BATMAN turns toward DENT.
Batman:
Get out of here Dent!
Dent:
Who are you?
Batman:
No time! Get ou-.
The giggler is now on top of BATMAN, obviously stronger than
him. DENT cups his hands together and hits the giggler on the back of the head,
knocking him out. BATMAN gets up.
Batman:
Thanks. Now get out!
Dent:
You can’t handle them by yourself!
BATMAN stops.
Batman:
Why, you volunteering to help?
Dent:
Yes.
Batman:
I get the criminals, you prosecute them, got it! Call Gordon.
BATMAN jumps out of the balcony to the bottom. DENT pulls out
his phone to call GORDON.
Dent:
Gordon? This is Dent.
[21] COMMISSIONER GORDON’S OFFICE. GORDON is on the phone with
DENT. CHIEF O’HARA is looking on.
Commissioner
Gordon:
Yes Harvey, we’ve already sent some men. (Beat) More men? Why
would-. (Beat) 27? (Beat) The Batman!? On it.
COMMISSIONER GORDON puts the phone down and turns to CHIEF
O’HARA.
Commissioner
Gordon:
Chief we’re going to Wayne Enterprises. Batman needs our help.
They walk out of the office.
[22] WAYNE ENTERPRISES: SCIENCES. BATMAN is holding off some
more giggling criminals. One comes at him with a knife, which seems to be their
only weapon, probably due to the fact the no guns are allowed in the building
so that’s just what they found. As one attacks him, BATMAN ducks causing the
laughing lunatic to hit another giggling, insane, maniac. The hit criminal
rolls on the floor laughing with tears in his eyes, he looks like he’s laughing
and crying all at once. Then he dies. More attack (12) with knives, fists, and
smiles. They speak to him in a lovely way. [AD-LIB CRIMINALS THREATENING TO
KILL BATMAN] BATMAN spin kicks the first one, elbows the second, and blocks the
third with his wrist, while the fourth slices a cut through BATMAN’s outfit in
his abdominals. BATMAN is showing us that it was a pretty deep cut. The
criminals approach him, when all of the sudden the Police charge through the
doors, and arrest some laughing, giggling, insane, maniactic, criminals.
COMMISSIONER GORDON walks over to an injured BATMAN.
Commissioner
Gordon:
Batman? Are you alright?
Batman:
I’ve been better.
Commissioner
Gordon:
You need to go to a hospital now!
Batman:
No! No hospitals.
Commissioner
Gordon:
Why not?
Batman:
I know an older man who used to be a medic in the army. I’d go
to him before anyone else.
BATMAN uses his grappling gun and ‘flies’ off. GORDON watches
him leave as DENT comes over to GORDON. GORDON turns to see DENT.
Commissioner
Gordon:
Oh, Dent.
Dent:
So that’s the Batman huh?
GORDON nods.
Dent:
Never met anyone more self-centered.
Commissioner
Gordon:
Harvey, you’re starting to sound like Bullock.
Dent:
I tried to help him but he said something like, “I get the
criminals, you prosecute them”. What’s not so self-centered about that?
Commissioner
Gordon:
Well, you are the District Attorney, if you were to die, it
wouldn’t help anything. These were killers after all.
Dent:
I know, but I risk my life every day anyway.
[23] IN THE SCIENCE LAB. LANGSTROM is taking something from one
of the filing cabinets. He turns to see BATMAN in the door way. BATMAN is still
hurt from the stab, but he’s barely showing it.
Batman:
So what’s the file you’re holding?
LANGSTROM runs from BATMAN deeper into the lab. BATMAN follows
him. Every once in a while BATMAN grimaces in pain. He shoots his BAT-GRAPPLING
hook up towards the ceiling. He flies and his cape ripples through the air
following LANGSTROM. A shot is heard. BATMAN falls down crashes onto the ground
and lands on his back. He looks up to see BULLOCK with a smoking gun, aimed at
BATMAN. BULLOCK gets ready to fire at him again. BATMAN quickly moves out of
the way limping, as BULLOCK fires at him again. BATMAN moves into the lab
deeper and deeper away from BULLOCK. After a few more shots, GORDON stops
BULLOCK.
Gordon:
What’s going on Bullock?
Bullock:
I saw someone steal a file in there.
GORDON pulls out a gun and slowly follows BATMAN though he
doesn’t know who it is.
[24] ALLY OUTSIDE WAYNE ENTERPRISES. BATMAN limps out of the
building. He’s also holding his arm that BULLOCK shot and hit. He presses a
button on his utility belt.
[25] THE BAT CAVE. The BAT-MOBILE roars to life, and drives out.
[26] ALLY OUTSIDE WAYNE ENTERPRISES. BATMAN looks around the ally.
There’s a shadow next to the dumpster. Its head looks reddish. The shadow runs
off. BATMAN follows it limping.
Batman:
Hey, you! Are you Dr. Langstrom?
BATMAN keeps following, but the shadow disappears outside of the
ally. BATMAN keeps following but he steps on something. He looks down. It’s a
file. Maybe the file LANGSTORM took. He picks it up.
Bullock:
(Voice)
See Commissioner!
BATMAN turns around to see BULLOCK pointing him out to GORDON.
Bullock:
The Batman took the file!
Commissioner
Gordon:
So, what?
Bullock:
He stole it from Bruce Wayne, and it could be evidence, or a
cover up.
Commissioner
Gordon:
Cover up for what?
Bullock:
He could be in on this whole scheme with the creepy looking
dudes.
They look back to see BATMAN driving away on the BAT-MOBILE.
GORDON turns back to BULLOCK.
Commissioner
Gordon:
This doesn’t change anything Harvey!
GORDON walks back in.
Commissioner
Gordon:
The Batman’s a hero. The one we’ve needed for a long time.
BULLOCK follows GORDON.
Bullock:
What about Harvey Dent? He’s a hero!
The door shuts. LANGSTROM is sitting in a shadow next to the
stairs. He’s got the file.
