    Batman Genesis Part 2
    By Seth Rex

    EXT. ABANDONED BUILDING – ROOF – NIGHT

    Thorne runs over to the edge of the roof and looks down. He makes his way to a different end. He is looking for a fire escape. Bruce emerges from the roof exit, gun in hand. He sees Thorne and fires a warning shot.

    BRUCE
    Stop in the name of the law!

    THORNE
    I make my own laws, copper!

    Thorne fires toward Bruce, who ducks behind some crates.

    BRUCE (To himself.)
    This isn’t working.

    Thorne arrives at the side of the building that has the catwalk and starts down slowly, because of his extreme weight. Bruce runs over to where Thorne is.

    BRUCE (Cont’d.)
    Stop right there!

    Thorne fires his gun just barely missing Bruce’s head as he ducks.

    BRUCE (Cont’d.)
    You were warned!

    Bruce points his gun down as Thorne continues to climb.

    BRUCE (Cont’d. Whispering.)
    Don’t become one of them, Bruce.
    Don’t take a life. Find another
    Way.

    Bruce aims and shoots the gun at one of the supporting struts holding the fire escape to the building. The strut breaks loose and causes the fire escape to sway. Thorne gasps.

    THORNE
    Are you crazy?!

    BRUCE (Whispering.)
    Perhaps.

    Bruce shoots again hitting another strut. The fire escape breaks free and begins to fall to the alley below as Thorne screams. Thorne lands right in a dumpster as the fire escape crashes on top of it, making sure that he cannot escape. Bruce smiles.

    Gordon and a few other cops emerge on the roof. They rush over to where Bruce is. They look down to see the destroyed fire escape.

    GORDON
    Good job, Wayne. You caught one of
    This cities biggest crime lords.
    He’s where he belongs now, with the
    Rest of the garbage.

    Bruce sighs as he stands and shakes Gordon’s hand. They all start back down.

    INT. WAYNE MANOR – FOYER – NIGHT

    Bruce walks into the mansion’s entrance door as Alfred walks in with a tray. He smiles.

    ALFRED
    How was the first night on the job?

    Bruce takes off his trench coat and hangs it up.

    BRUCE
    It was fine, Alfred... but it isn’t
    What I want.

    ALFRED
    I figured as much. I just thought
    You’d keep with it for longer then
    One night.

    BRUCE
    Oh, I could if I wanted to. I
    Helped bring down a top drug lord
    In Gotham.

    ALFRED
    My heavens! Who?

    BRUCE
    Rupert Thorne. It was a major bust.
    I’m a hero to Gordon and the other
    Officers... but I have a feeling
    That Loeb and Flass wouldn’t feel
    The same.

    ALFRED
    Well, that’s obvious, but what are
    You going to do now to avenge your
    Parents then?

    BRUCE
    I need something that the criminals
    Will come to fear.

    ALFRED
    And that would be?

    BRUCE
    I have an idea.

    INT. WAYNE MANOR – HALLWAY – NIGHT

    Bruce and Alfred are plying a door open. It is the same one that led young Bruce, Pamela, and Harvey into the cave! The door finally opens. They both look forward into the darkness.

    ALFRED (Scared.)
    Well then... after you, sir.

    Bruce looks to Alfred and raises an eyebrow. He then takes up his flashlight and starts into the corridor. Alfred sighs and crosses himself. He then turns on his flashlight and enters as well.

    INT. BATCAVE – NIGHT

    They both emerge from the passageway into the cave. Bruce is in awe from the majestic beauty of the cave. He walks over to a large platform section. He can see that it looks like some sort of observation deck. He starts up the steel stairs to the platform. Alfred follows.

    BRUCE
    What is this, Alfred?

    ALFRED
    This is the observation deck that
    Your parents used to observe the
    Bats.

    Bruce is confused.

    ALFRED (Cont’d.)
    Do you not remember the story
    Leslie told you? They used to
    Observe the bats. Your mother was a
    Scientist specializing in the study
    Of bats.

    BRUCE
    And she helped father get over his
    Fears.

    ALFRED
    Don’t you still fear them, Master
    Bruce?

    BRUCE
    I’m not sure. That’s what I’m here
    To find out.

    ALFRED
    What does all this have to do with
    Avenging your parents?

    BRUCE
    It could have everything to do with
    Them, Alfred. It’s time that I
    Accept my destiny.

    ALFRED
    And that would be?

    BRUCE
    We’ll just have to take it one step
    At a time and see where that gets
    Us. I’m going to Wayne Enterprises
    In the morning. I believe I’ll find
    Some of the technology that I need
    There to get started. Meanwhile, I
    Need you to break the news to Loeb
    About my job.

    ALFRED
    I have a feeling he won’t miss you,
    Sir.

    They both smile.

    EXT. Al GHÛL MANOR – MORNING

    The sun rises slowly, bringing light to al Ghûl Manor.

    INT. Al GHÛL MANOR – PARLOR – MORNING

    Râ’s al Ghûl is wearing a green robe. He drinks a cup of hot tea as he picks up the Gotham Globe and looks at the front headline, smiling. The headline says “RUPERT THORNE APPREHENDED”. He laughs quietly as he reads on.

    TALIA (O.S.)
    What is so funny, father?

    Râ’s turns to see his daughter entering the room. He smiles to her.

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL
    Just my business, dear. Don’t worry
    Yourself. Are you ready for the new
    Semester?

    TALIA
    I am.

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL
    Good. How is that friend of
    Yours... Pamela, isn’t it?

    TALIA
    She’s fine, father.

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL
    And how about the District Attorney
    Of yours? He is quite the catch.

    TALIA
    For you perhaps.

    Talia walks over to the small bar and starts picking out some of the food and putting it on a plate. Râ’s puts the paper down and stands up. He walks over to Talia.

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL
    What is that supposed to mean?

    TALIA
    You just want me going out with him
    To better help your empire.

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL
    No, Talia. It is to help you. You
    Have been so alone here. I want you
    To feel loved by someone that can
    Provide for you once I’m gone. I do
    Not know how much longer the pits
    Will be effective for me. I won’t
    Be around forever.

    TALIA
    You could’ve fooled me.

    Talia takes her plate of food out of the room. Râ’s sighs and returns to his chair. He begins reading the paper again.

    INT. CITY HALL – OFFICE – MORNING

    Harvey Dent walks into his office finding his secretary already sitting there.

    HARVEY
    Judy! You’re here bright and early.

    JUDY
    Same to you, Councilor.
    Congratulations.

    HARVEY
    Thank you. I’m sure you know of the
    Move today, correct?

    JUDY
    Yes, sir. I’ll already called for
    Maintenance to help with the move
    To your new office.

    HARVEY
    Our new office. You’re coming as
    Well.

    JUDY
    Thank you, Mr. Dent.

    HARVEY
    Anytime. Now, do you have the files
    On Rupert Thorne ready?

    JUDY
    Yes, sir, and I have a message for
    You to call Commissioner Loeb.

    HARVEY
    Alright. Thank you.

    Harvey starts into his private office.

    INT. CITY HALL – PRIVATE OFFICE – MORNING

    Harvey sits down at his desk and dials a number. He takes a pause as it rings and then answers.

    HARVEY
    Hello, Commissioner. It’s Harvey
    Dent, I... Yes... Yes, I know about
    That. I was getting ready to start
    On... What!

    Harvey stands up in anger.

    HARVEY (Cont’d.)
    Why! He’s a dangerous criminal...
    Oh, you don’t agree, huh? We’ll see
    About this, Loeb.

    Harvey slams the phone back on the receiver and sits back in anger.

    EXT. GOTHAM UNIVERSITY – CAMPUS – DAY

    Pamela and Talia are walking together, carrying their books in their arms.

    PAMELA
    I’m just curious.

    TALIA
    It isn’t proper for a lady to
    Discuss such things.

    PAMELA
    Fine then. Keep your secrets, but
    I’ll find out. You know I always
    Do.

    TALIA
    That’s because Harvey is like putty
    In your hands.

    PAMELA (Smiling.)
    Exactly.

    TALIA
    So when are you going to see Bruce
    Again?

    PAMELA
    Not until tomorrow night. We’re
    Having dinner at some Italian
    Restaurant. He’s really busy all
    Day today and well, I am too. I’ve
    Got to get started on my new
    Semester’s assignments early.

    They both start up the steps to one of the buildings and go inside.

    INT. GU – BUILDING – HALLWAY – DAY

    TALIA
    So, I’m guessing your class load
    Still focuses on Biology, right?

    PAMELA
    Actually, I’ve been permitted to
    Start in the Botany classes. Dr.
    Woodrue finally signed over for my
    Permission. This is going to be the
    Greatest semester ever.

    TALIA
    I’m happy for you. I just hope he’s
    Not as weird as Dr. Crane. It’s
    Hard to keep to a Psychology major
    With a teacher that is obsessed
    With having us study the natures of
    Fear.

    PAMELA
    I’ve heard that Woodrue is the best
    Teacher here. I have no worries.

    INT. GU – LECTURE HALL – DAY

    Pamela enters the lecture hall and goes to one of the free seats in the crowded room. She sits down and starts taking out her materials as she prepares for the first class. The door to Woodrue’s office opens and out steps PROFESSOR JASON WOODRUE. He wears a scientist’s white coat over his suit and tie. He also wears glasses. He is actually quite a good looking guy underneath the glasses and this is what actually catches Pamela’s attention.

    WOODRUE
    Welcome to your first day of Botany
    223. This is the first day of the
    Rest of your lives, ladies and
    Gentlemen.

    Pamela continues to stare dreamily at Woodrue’s face. She tries to pull away, knowing better, but can’t help it. She is mesmerized.

    WOODRUE (Cont’d.)
    I want all of you to remember this
    Day well. For this is when you
    Begin your grand trek into
    Understanding plant life and the
    Way the world works around us. It
    Is time that every single one of
    You truly saw the beauty that
    Exists in this paradise of a world.
    By the end of this semester, you
    Will all be ready to further your
    Understandings of Botany and before
    Long, you’ll be a doctor of Botany,
    Just like me.

    Pamela sighs as she places her right hand on her cheek to rest her head on.

    PAMELA (Whispering.)
    Just like you.

    INT. WAYNE ENTERPRISES – HALLWAY – DAY

    Bruce walks with Fox down a darkened hallway.

    FOX
    Are you sure you want to go in
    There?

    BRUCE
    Absolutely. I heard we used to make
    Military equipment down here.

    FOX
    Well, this is Applied Sciences, but
    I had the projects shut down last
    Year. There was a disgruntled
    Employee that tried to use some of
    The weapons to hold people hostage.
    It wasn’t a good time.

    BRUCE
    I’m sorry to hear that. If I had
    Known, I would’ve...

    FOX
    It’s alright, Mr. Wayne. Don’t
    Worry yourself. No one was hurt.

    Fox takes out a keycard. He places it into a slot and slides. The large door at the end of the hallway opens up. Bruce starts forward toward it.

    FOX (Cont’d.)
    Mr. Wayne, you’re not planning on
    Starting a war, are you?

    BRUCE
    Of course not.

    FOX
    Are you thinking about giving this
    Stuff to the police department? I
    Honestly don’t believe that’s such
    A good idea.

    BRUCE
    Mr. Fox, I’m a billionaire
    Adventurer. I would like to believe
    That I could find some equipment
    Here that could be very helpful for
    Mountain climbing, deep sea diving,
    And maybe even parachuting.

    Fox starts to come down. He backs off.

    FOX
    Well, that makes more sense to me.

    BRUCE
    Good. I’ll need several hours to
    Take inventory. I’ve called Alfred
    To come pick up some things, if
    That’s alright.

    FOX
    Perfectly, Mr. Wayne.

    BRUCE
    Could you do a little something for
    Me while I’m doing this?

    FOX
    Sure thing.

    BRUCE
    Get me the numbers for some good
    Car lots here. No used car places
    Mind you. I’m looking for a new
    Ride...

    Bruce smiles as he starts into the room. Fox stands there confused for a moment. He sighs and takes off back down the hallway.

    INT. GU – LECTURE HALL - DAY

    The lecture has ended as the students all gather their things and start out of the hall. Woodrue is writing some things at a nearby desk. Pamela stands up, nervous, and walks over to Woodrue. She clears her throat. Woodrue looks up to her and smiles.

    WOODRUE
    Yes, Ms. Isley?

    Pamela is taken aback.

    PAMELA (Shocked.)
    How did you know my name?

    WOODRUE
    I make it my business to know all
    Of my students names and faces. The
    University’s website is a nice tool
    For a professor.

    PAMELA
    Well, Professor Woodrue, I just
    Wanted to let you know that I’m so
    Grateful that you considered me
    Ready to finally move on to the
    Botany program.

    WOODRUE
    It was nothing special, my dear.
    You have done exemplary in your
    Biology classes. I know a true
    Botanist when I see one. You will
    Make a perfect addition to the
    Botany field.

    Pamela is extremely excited.

    PAMELA
    Oh, thank you so much, professor.

    Woodrue stands up and smiles.

    WOODRUE
    Please, call me Jason.

    PAMELA (Confused.)
    Wouldn’t that be a little weird,
    Sir?

    WOODRUE
    Of course not. I always do my best
    To reach a first name basis with
    Future colleges.

    PAMELA
    It would be an honor, sir... I
    Mean, Jason.

    WOODRUE
    Good. See, I have a special Botany
    Experiment that I’ve been trying to
    Conduct for quite some time now.
    However, I haven’t had a student
    Willing enough to help out for
    Extra credit, and believe me, in
    This class, extra credit is
    Something that any student would
    Love to have.

    PAMELA
    I would be honored to work with you
    On it.

    WOODRUE (Smiling.)
    That’s the spirit!

    Woodrue starts toward his office.

    WOODRUE (Cont’d.)
    Come. We have much to discuss.

    Woodrue opens the door and steps aside, allowing Pamela to enter. He smiles evilly as he watches her go.

    INT. WAYNE ENTERPRISES – APPLIED SCIENCES – DAY

    Bruce and Alfred are looking through all of the interesting equipment in the room.

    ALFRED
    I believe that all of this could be
    Very easily converted into the
    Weaponry that you mentioned last
    Night.

    BRUCE
    Oh, I agree. Even though this
    Department was shut down, at least
    The money that went into it will
    Still go to good use. We just have
    To keep making Fox believe that
    It’s all for adventuring.

    ALFRED
    Very good, sir. You’re about to
    Become Scrooge McDuck.

    Bruce looks to Alfred sternly.

    BRUCE
    Funny, Alfred.

    Alfred smiles.

    ALFRED
    Well, I believe I’ll start moving
    The equipment.

    BRUCE
    Thank you.

    Bruce goes back to looking through all of the equipment as Alfred starts taking several items out of the storage.

    INT. GU – WOODRUE’S OFFICE/LABORATORY – DAY

    Pamela looks around at all of the amazing devices in the room. Woodrue’s office looks more like a laboratory then an office. There are test tubes on a large lab table, a large human sized capsule, tons of plants, and several computers at different places of the room. Pamela smiles largely as she looks around the place.

    PAMELA
    This place is amazing.

    WOODRUE
    Thank you, Pamela.

    Pamela turns back to Woodrue. She smiles.

    PAMELA
    I still don’t understand though.
    Why do you want me to help you of
    All people?

    WOODRUE
    Well, you seem the most trusting,
    And I honestly have to tell you,
    The looks you were giving me did
    Not go unnoticed.

    Pamela’s face becomes crimson as she turns away. Woodrue smiles over this small victory.

    WOODRUE (Cont’d.)
    Please don’t be embarrassed. I’m
    Used to the ladies gawking at me...
    However, it’s never happened in one
    Of my Botany classes before. That’s
    What perked my interest. I admire a
    Woman that has her passion for
    Plants and for the men that love
    Them as well.

    Pamela turns back around and smiles.

    PAMELA
    So, are you wanting to start on the
    Experimentations now?

    WOODRUE
    That would be wonderful. Yes, let’s
    Begin.

    Woodrue and Pamela start over to one of the lab tables.

    EXT. CAR LOT – DAY

    Bruce and Alfred are looking at all of the vehicles on the lot. They are passing by Ferrari’s, Mitsubishi’s, Firebird’s, and Camry’s.

    ALFRED
    Sir, are you sure it’s wise to just
    Buy a car for your efforts? That
    Could be dangerous, considering.
    You have many cars at your disposal
    In the garage. I would think you
    Could use one of those.

    BRUCE
    Those were my parents. I don’t want
    To change those. Besides, we’re
    Going to repaint it and do some
    Extra changes later on to make it
    Look bat-like, Alfred. I’m thinking
    About this yellow Firebird here.

    ALFRED
    Well, in that case, it could work.

    BRUCE (Smiling.)
    Let’s take care of the paperwork
    Then.

    ALFRED
    Sir, are you sure you want me
    Involved?

    BRUCE
    You’re my partner in crime now,
    Alfred. We’ve got to stick
    Together.

    Camera pushes away from Bruce and Alfred and to the yellow Firebird: the beginnings of the Batmobile!

    INT. GU – WOODRUE’S OFFICE/LABORATORY – DAY

    Woodrue is mixing the chemicals in several test tubes together. He pours the final mixture into a large beaker and then places it on a Bunsen burner. He turns on the heat and they both watch as the chemicals bubble. Suddenly, from out of the chemicals, shoots a green vine right toward both Woodrue and Pamela. Pamela screams as Woodrue pulls her away from the vine as it continues to grow. Pamela is in amazement and wonder.

    PAMELA
    I simply love how you’re trying to
    Save the world through wildlife.
    This world does seem to be slowly
    Tearing itself apart.

    WOODRUE
    Oh, yes. Believe me, I know all
    About that.

    PAMELA
    How are you going to stop that vine
    From overtaking the place?

    WOODRUE
    Well...

    Suddenly the vine recedes back into the chemicals and disappears.

    WOODRUE (Cont’d.)
    I haven’t been able to perfect the
    Formula for some reason... my
    Theory is that I have to have a
    Living test subject. I know it’s
    Risky, but if this works, then we
    Will finally be able to end the
    Heartless ravishes of mankind
    Toward nature. However, every time
    I try to sneak animals on campus,
    The security stops me. I’ve found
    Myself on the bad side of the board
    Several times because of this.

    Woodrue walks over to the large glass human sized casing. He looks into it and sighs. Pamela moves over toward him and places a hand on his shoulder.

    PAMELA
    I could help you sneak one in.

    Woodrue turns around and smiles to Pamela. He slowly reaches into his pocket and pulls a syringe out.

    WOODRUE
    Actually, I had something else in
    Mind.

    Woodrue quickly pulls up the syringe and injects the green contents into her neck. Pamela freaks and starts moving away from him, toward the exit of his office. However, she is starting to already feel disoriented and is having a hard time moving around.

    WOODRUE (Cont’d.)
    Fast acting, isn’t it?

    Pamela runs into a lab table, causing several test tubes to fall to the ground, breaking into a million pieces.

    WOODRUE (Cont’d.)
    Don’t be afraid, Pamela. You’ve
    Been administered with the first
    Dosage. You will soon be like a
    Good... just like me.

    Pamela falls to the floor. Woodrue’s eyes glow green as he slowly walks over toward her.

    INT. BATCAVE – OBSERVATION PLATFORM – DAY

    Bruce and Alfred finish setting up the huge computer system that is now sitting on his parent’s former observation platform.

    BRUCE
    The Batcomputer. What do you think?

    ALFRED (Sarcastic.)
    Oh, it’s fabulous. I’m sure you’ll
    Enjoy playing video games down here
    On it.

    BRUCE (Sighing.)
    This is the beginning of my crime
    Lab, Alfred.

    ALFRED
    Crime lab, sir... so technically
    You still consider yourself a cop.

    BRUCE
    No. I’m a crime fighter now, but
    I’m not complete. I have much left
    To learn. Gordon started it with my
    Observations of his detective work,
    But I still need more to make it
    Work. I’m off to Gotham U.

    ALFRED
    Oh, jolly good, sir. You’re going
    To see Pamela.

    BRUCE
    No, Alfred. I’m going to speak to
    The leading Chemistry professor
    There. Lucius forwarded me to him.
    He’s expecting me.

    ALFRED
    It takes longer then a few hours to
    Understand chemistry.

    BRUCE
    I’m a fast learner, Alfred.

    Bruce starts down the stairs of the observation platform. Alfred just rolls his eyes and continues setting out equipment.

    BRUCE (Cont’d.)
    Oh, and Alfred. Would you please
    Start getting ready for the tunnel
    Work? We have to have an entrance
    For the Batmobile. I can’t simply
    Take it back up to the manor. We
    Need a secret entrance and a secret
    Road.

    ALFRED
    There used to be a small side road
    Leading to the old green house,
    Sir. It maybe overgrown, but I
    Think behind the green house is a
    Large entrance to the cave. Your
    Father had it cemented, but I’m
    Sure you could simply blast it open
    With some of your little explosives
    Here.

    BRUCE
    Alright. We’ll do that first thing
    When I come back. Oh, and I have to
    See the tailor. He’s going to give
    Me several colored materials. I
    Hope you remember how to sew,
    Alfred.

    ALFRED
    I’m a tad rustle, but I’ll give it
    A shot.

    Bruce takes off again. Alfred picks up a large belt and looks it over. He presses a button on the side of the belt and some pink paint comes sprouting out in his face. He turns away from the belt in disgust.

    ALFRED
    How charming.

    INT. GU – WOODRUE’S OFFICE/LABORATORY – DAY

    Jason Woodrue has just finished strapping Pamela down to the large glass enclosure. He closes the glass and stands there in awe at Pamela’s beauty. She has been stripped down to her bra and panties.

    WOODRUE
    Believe me, my dear, I didn’t want
    It to come to this, but I had no
    Choice. If I had to be banished to
    This damn dimension, I had best
    Make the best of it and turn it
    Into the kingdom that I once ruled
    Before.

    Woodrue moves over a nearby computer. He presses a few buttons and turns to watch as the green liquid mixture begins to flow through the enclosure.

    WOODRUE (Cont’d.)
    Hopefully your sacrifice won’t be
    In vain. Perhaps when this is done,
    We will rule the new world
    Together.

    INT. GU – DIFFERENT LECTURE HALL – DAY

    Bruce enters the lecture hall and looks around the room seeing it empty. An office in the hall opens and out steps a bald, middle-aged man in a lab coat along with a long, blond haired woman. They both smile as they see Bruce. The man walks over to shake his hand. This is DR. VICTOR FRIES. The woman is DR. NORA FRIES.

    FRIES
    Hello, Mr. Wayne.

    BRUCE
    Dr. Fries. It’s good to meet you.

    The woman steps over.

    FRIES
    This is my wife, Nora. Nora, this
    Is Bruce Wayne.

    Bruce kisses Nora’s hand.

    NORA
    It is good to meet you, Mr. Wayne.

    BRUCE
    Likewise, Mrs. Fries.

    NORA (To Fries.)
    Victor, I’m going on home. You will
    Be home for dinner, won’t you?

    FRIES
    Of course, dear. You needn’t worry.

    NORA
    Alright.

    Nora kisses her husband and leaves the lecture hall.

    FRIES
    I must say I was surprised when
    Lucius gave me the call. I would
    Like to help you in any way I can.

    BRUCE
    I was hoping you’d say that, Dr.
    Fries. I can use all the help I can
    Get.

    FRIES
    Of course. Besides, The Wayne
    Foundation makes wonderful
    Donations to Gotham U, and
    Especially to the Chemistry
    Department every year. I must say,
    It is quite an honor to teach you
    The basics.

    BRUCE
    Maybe if it’s alright with you, we
    Could have more then one season. I
    Would like to know all the ropes.

    FRIES
    That’s fine with me. We’ll set up
    Some schedules before we begin with
    Your lessons.

    BRUCE
    Sounds great, doc.

    The two start toward Fries’s office.

    INT. GU – WOODRUE’S OFFICE/LABORATORY – DAY

    Woodrue types away on the computer next to the large capsule. He looks over to Pamela as the capsule finishes filling all the way up. He smiles at her again as he looks at her surrounded in the green substance.

    WOODRUE
    If you only knew what you were
    About to become...

    Suddenly there is an alarm sounding. Woodrue looks back to the computer to see warning messages popping up. Woodrue tries to fix the problems.

    WOODRUE (Cont’d.)
    No... No, this can’t be right... I
    Have to abort.

    Woodrue goes over to the capsule and starts typing away on the consol. It isn’t helping. The alarm continues to sound and the liquid doesn’t go away. Things go into overdrive as Pamela goes into spasms within the capsule. Woodrue looks on in shock.

    WOODRUE (Cont’d.)
    My God... What have I done?

    Woodrue turns quickly around the room, trying to figure out something to do. He sees an ax hanging on the wall in case of an emergency. He goes over to it and takes it as he runs back over to the casing and swings. The glass shatters as the green liquids ooze out. Pamela falls to the glass filled floor. The liquid causes Woodrue’s eyes to roll into the back of his eyes. A close up on the ground shows shockingly that the liquid is evaporating into Woodrue’s body.

    Woodrue kneels down to Pamela and picks up her head. He looks at her motionless body and then picks up her right hand and tries to take a pulse. He drops her arm in shock.

    WOODRUE
    No pulse... My God, I killed her.
    It wasn’t supposed to happen like
    This...

    Woodrue’s eyes close. He sighs. He picks up Pamela up in his arms and gets ready to get her out of his office and off campus, one way or another.

    EXT. WAYNE MANOR GROUNDS – ABANDONED BACK ROAD – EVENING

    Bruce and Alfred are behind what looks to be a bunker of sorts. Bruce pushes a red button and they both duck as the cement wall around the entrance to the Batcave explodes. They both look back up to see the entrance of the cave restored.

    ALFRED
    We’ll need to hide that.

    BRUCE
    Why? It’s on an abandoned road with
    Woods all around it.

    ALFRED
    Very well.

    BRUCE
    I could create a fake wall that
    Blends in with the rock wall. I
    Could install a car door opener I
    Guess... I’ll consider that.

    ALFRED
    Very good, sir.

    INT. BATCAVE – OBSERVATION PLATFORM – EVENING

    Alfred is sitting at the Batcomputer. He is sewing a costume together. He is only using grays and blacks to make it even though there are many other colors of cloth around him. Bruce stands nearby with his arms crossed.

    ALFRED
    Are you sure that a costume like
    This is safe to where?

    BRUCE
    What do you mean?

    ALFRED
    If you’re going to be taking on the
    Criminal underworld, I believe
    There is a good chance you could be
    Shot. I don’t believe simple cloth
    Is going to protect you from a
    Bullet let alone a knife.

    BRUCE
    Don’t worry, Alfred. Applied
    Sciences even had some body armor.
    I’ll wear it underneath the
    Costume.

    ALFRED
    Very well, sir. And what about your
    Head?

    BRUCE
    There are some risks that I’ll have
    To take. I’m a trained martial
    Artist, Alfred. I’ll make sure to
    Watch out for my head.

    ALFRED
    Well, I believe it’s finished.
    Ready to give it a try?

    Bruce walks over and takes the costume. He goes over to the equipment and picks up the armor. He walks down the steps of the observation platform and goes around a corner. Alfred turns to the computer and types away on it as he continues to set up the database on the systems.

    He hears clanging on the steps and turns around. He gasps as he stands up.

    ALFRED (Shocked.)
    My... word!

    THE BATMAN is revealed as he stands with his cloak billowing around his shoulders. He turns to the equipment and puts on the belt that Alfred was fiddling with earlier. The belt is the only thing that is yellow about him. Otherwise, he is a truly dark knight.

    BATMAN (New raspy voice.)
    What do you think?

    ALFRED
    Why the voice change?

    BATMAN
    So no one can identify me.

    ALFRED
    Makes sense. Now I don’t have to
    Worry about people coming after us
    Because of your actions. Are you
    Going to patrol the streets? Give
    Your new identity a stroll around
    The block as it were?

    BATMAN
    I’ll be back soon.

    Batman goes back down the steps. Alfred sighs with relief. There is sweat visible under his armpits. Even he was frightened on his first glance.

    EXT. WAYNE MANOR GROUNDS – ABANDONED BACK ROAD – EVENING

    The now completely black Firebird, THE BATMOBILE, shoots out of the entrance to the cave and starts down the abandoned back road as it slowly gets dark.

    EXT. POLICE HEADQUARTERS – FIRE ESCAPE – NIGHT

    Batman stands outside Loeb’s office. He is listening to the conversation through a headset that he’s got attached to the window. It’s Flass and Loeb talking.

    INT. POLICE HEADQUARTERS – LOEB’S OFFICE – NIGHT

    FLASS
    We can’t let Thorne rot down there.

    LOEB
    What do you expect me to do about
    It? Gordon, Wayne, and all those
    Other officers brought him in with
    Evidence against him and the other
    Members of the Society. Thankfully,
    I was able to deliver it all to
    Râ’s al Ghûl without Gordon finding
    Out.

    EXT. POLICE HEADQUARTERS – FIRE ESCAPE – NIGHT

    Batman’s eyes enlarge at the name of Talia’s father. He narrows them again and continues to listen.

    INT. POLICE HEADQUARTERS – LOEB’S OFFICE – NIGHT

    FLASS
    Well, we’d better be happy that
    Wayne decided not to stay on the
    Force.

    LOEB
    Doesn’t matter anyway. That rich
    Scumbag won’t last much longer
    Anyway.

    FLASS
    What do you mean?

    LOEB
    It’s on a need to know basis,
    Flass, and for right now, you
    Honestly don’t need to know. Don’t
    Worry though, I will make sure that
    You aren’t harmed when it happens.
    We’ll both be out of here, safe.

    FLASS
    Well, what are we supposed to do in
    The mean time?

    LOEB
    I want you to take care of Gordon.
    Once he’s out of the way, it will
    Be a lot easier to get Thorne out
    Of here.

    FLASS (Smiling.)
    You got it, Gill. I know just the
    Thing.

    Flass walks out of the office.

    INT. SQUAD CAR – STREETS – NIGHT

    Flass is driving the car as Gordon sits beside him. He sighs.

    FLASS
    I guess you miss your rich pretty
    Boy, don’t ya?

    GORDON
    Shut up, Flass.

    FLASS (Laughs.)
    That’s what I thought.

    GORDON
    Where are we going?

    FLASS
    There’s a disturbance near Gotham
    Harbor. Some dock building’s being
    Robbed.

    GORDON
    How lucky for us.

    EXT. GOTHAM HARBOR – DOCKS – NIGHT

    Gordon and Flass get out of the squad car and slowly make their way for the building. Gordon pulls up his handgun. Flass pulls up his, but unknowingly to Gordon, Flass has a baseball bat in his other hand. Gordon arrives at the door and gets ready to put his hand on the knob when Flass suddenly acts and hits Gordon right in the head with the bat, sending him straight to the ground. Flass smiles as he drags Gordon into the building.

    INT. GOTHAM HARBOR – DOCKS – BUILDING – NIGHT

    Flass continues to drag Gordon. There are several people on the far side of the building. One of them, wearing white, is sitting at a desk. It’s Carmine Falcone. He smokes a cigarette as he stares forward, smiling.

    FALCONE
    Well, boys, looks like Arnold
    Brought me a little present and it
    Isn’t even my birthday. What does
    The Roman deserve such a mighty
    Gift for?

    FLASS
    Loeb wants him out of the picture.

    FALCONE
    Well then, let’s not disappoint the
    Good Commissioner. Boys.

    Falcone’s goons start to walk over taking out guns when one of the large nearby windows suddenly breaks though as a large dark shape comes flying into the building. Everyone looks to the window to see nothing there. Falcone stands up.

    FALCONE (Cont’d.)
    Fan out, boys.

    A batarang is sent sailing toward the main light fixture, knocking it out. They all look everywhere, guns up.

    FALCONE (Cont’d.)
    Is this some sort of joke, Flass?

    FLASS
    No, sir.

    A large black form rushes by, grabbing the limp Gordon. Both men shoot their guns, not connecting because they don’t even know where or what they’re shooting at. There is suddenly the sounds of more gunfire and the horrifying screams of Falcone’s men being attacked.

    FLASS (Cont’d.)
    We have to get out of here.

    FALCONE
    Agreed.

    Both men start off trying to find the exit.

    BATMAN (O.S.)
    Leaving so soon.

    They both freeze in their tracks. They turn around to try to face the voice. All they can see is the silhouette of a large cape rising from in front of them. Batman rushes toward them quickly, consuming what little light there is in darkness.

    EXT. POLICE HEADQUARTERS – FRONT STEPS – MORNING

    James Gordon slows comes to as he lies on the front steps of the Police Headquarters. He looks around him, trying to get his bearings and realizes that Carmine Falcone, Arnold Flass, and several thugs are all tied up in a large net.

    Attached to Gordon’s trench coat is a note. He detaches it and looks at it. There is a large Batsymbol of sorts at the top. At the bottom is written: “CRIMINALS HAVE A NEW ENEMY. THE BATMAN, THE SAVIOR OF GOTHAM, BRINGS NEW FEAR TO THOSE WHO IMPOSE ON THE WEAK”.

    Gordon looks back to the others in the net. He can’t quite figure out what to make of this from the confusion on his face.

    GORDON (Rolling eyes.)
    The Batman? Now we’ve got some
    Nutcase on the streets with the
    Crime bosses and drug lords.
    Where’s Jeremiah Arkham when you
    Really need him?

    Gordon stands up and starts over to the net. He stares at the unconscious men and half smiles in some sort of victory.

    GORDON (Cont’d.)
    He doesn’t do bad work though...

    INT. WAYNE ENTERPRISES – BRUCE’S OFFICE – DAY

    Bruce Wayne sits at his desk, almost ready to fall asleep. Lucius Fox stands beside him with his arms crossed. Standing in front of them is a skinny man with brown hair. He seems very nervous as he tries to give a presentation on the poster board sitting on the holder beside him. This is EDWARD NYGMA.

    NYGMA
    So, Mr. Wayne, you can easily see
    That the best way to take our
    Technological district into for the
    Next quarter should definitely be
    In the video gaming industry. Kids
    Love to play games. Video games
    Have become the new high for
    Children all over the world. Can
    You imagine what creative and
    Original products we would be able
    To create with the teams that we
    Have? The possibilities are
    Endless, sir. Wayne Enterprises
    Stock will shoot through the roof.

    BRUCE (Very tired.)
    Your intentions are definitely well
    Understood and I like your energy
    With this project. I will take it
    Under advisement with Mr. Fox here
    And have an answer for you by
    Tomorrow evening.

    NYGMA
    Thank you so much, Mr. Wayne, and
    To you as well, Mr. Fox. This means
    The world to me that you would take
    The time to listen to my theories.

    Nygma gathers his things and leaves the office. Fox looks to Bruce concerned.

    FOX
    Are you alright?

    BRUCE
    Quite. Why?

    FOX
    You look like you didn’t get any
    Sleep last night.

    BRUCE
    Maybe three hours.

    FOX
    That’s not like you. What happened?

    BRUCE
    Went clubbing... Met some girls...
    You know... The usual...

    FOX
    I see. If you want, you can take
    The rest of the day off, you know?

    BRUCE
    I’m needed here.

    FOX
    You don’t have to be here all the
    Time. Your father was hardly ever
    Her. You’ve been here more in the
    Past week then he ever was.

    BRUCE
    Well, he was a doctor.

    FOX
    And you’re young. There will be
    Plenty of time for running the
    Company after you get past your
    Prime. I can handle things if you
    Want to deal with your clubbing...
    By the way, how’s that adventuring
    Coming along?

    BRUCE
    I’m getting ready to do my first
    Outing it two weeks. It should be
    An exciting expedition.

    HARVEY (O.S.)
    Were you planning on inviting me?

    Bruce and Fox look over to the door to see Harvey Dent coming in. Bruce smiles as he stands up and crosses over. He shakes Harvey’s hand. Fox walks over to them as well.

    BRUCE
    Good to see ya, Harv.

    HARVEY
    Same to you. Sorry I haven’t been
    In touch. Things have been hectic
    At City Hall.

    BRUCE
    I’m sure they have. You are the new
    DA after all.

    HARVEY
    Yeah... I’ve been trying to get
    Thorne not to be released. That
    Asshole Commissioner we have to put
    Up with has been trying to release
    Him. I’ve got Judge Marcus keeping
    An eye on him now so he won’t
    Budge... that includes the newest
    Arrivals. Did you know that Carmine
    Falcone was captured last night?
    He, Detective Arnold Flass, and a
    Bunch of Falcone’s thugs. Jim
    Gordon was left with a message from
    Some guy calling himself The
    Batman. Apparently he was the one
    That took them all in. We’ve got a
    Vigilante running loose in this
    City.

    BRUCE
    That’s strange.

    HARVEY
    You got that right. This guy has
    Got to be skilled to have taken all
    Of them on by himself.

    FOX
    Are there any leads as to who this
    Batman is?

    HARVEY (Shaking his head.)
    Not one. This worries me. If we’ve
    Got some masked clown running
    Around taking down criminals. It’s
    Not going to be long before we’ve
    Got some crazy assholes running all
    Over this town trying to get a
    Piece of him.

    BRUCE
    What makes you think that?

    HARVEY
    Because this Batman is a mystery.
    The mysterious always brings out
    The freaks. Just wait and see.

    BRUCE
    Well, I’m sure you didn’t come here
    Just to talk to me about Batman,
    Did you?

    HARVEY
    Oh, I almost forgot. I was going to
    Invite you to have lunch with me.

    BRUCE
    Well, I don’t know, Harv. I’ve
    Got...

    FOX
    You’d love to.

    Bruce turns to Fox and raises and eyebrow.

    FOX (Cont’d.)
    Wayne Enterprises will be fine
    Without you for awhile, Bruce. Go
    Have some fun.

    BRUCE (Sighs.)
    Alright. Alright, I’ll go.

    HARVEY
    Awesome. There’s this new
    Restaurant on 5th and main. I’ve
    Been wanting to see how it’s like
    Since it’s opening.

    Bruce and Harvey leave Bruce’s office. Fox raises an eyebrow.

    FOX
    The Batman, huh? Let’s see...

    Fox walks over to Bruce’s desk and picks up the phone. He presses a button.

    FOX (Cont’d.)
    Lauren, would you pull the security
    Tapes from Applied Sciences for me?
    Thanks.

    Fox puts down the receiver.

    FOX (Cont’d.)
    It’s just too much of a
    Coincidence...

    EXT. OUTSKIRTS OF GOTHAM - DUMP – DAY

    Pamela Isley slowly awakens. She is lying on a large pile of garbage. She sits up as we see that she is still only wearing her bra and panties. She is confused and frightened as to how she got there.

    Suddenly grass and flowers grow from the ground as she tries to stand up. She is disoriented from dizziness and nausea. She vomits, falling to the ground. A thorn from a newly formed rose pricks her finger. She instinctively yelps and puts her finger to her mouth. She pulls her figure out in shock and looks at her blood to see that it isn’t crimson red. It’s a light pink.

    PAMELA
    Aloe?

    She suddenly realizes that she’s only wearing her bra and panties and yelps. Vines start uprooting and cover her up as they also stand her up as well. She looks down at the vomit that she had just upchucked and to her own shock, it is has now become a fertilizer and the grass has grown even brighter. She looks to her skin.

    PAMELA (Cont’d.)
    My skin... It’s pink...

    The hair that covers her face is now red.

    PAMELA (Cont’d.)
    My... My hair... Red...

    She screams a loud frightened scream. There are workers in the distance that notice this and walk closer to figure out what is going on. But as soon as they notice the grass in the dump, they also notice the girl that is clearly half naked, but covered in vines.

    WORKER 1
    What the hell?

    WORKER 2
    Are you alright?

    They start up the small garbage hill to help her, but Pamela is too terrified and envisions them hurting her.

    PAMELA
    Stay away!

    Several vines shoot out toward the two workers and strangle them to death. Pamela doesn’t yet realize that she’s making all of this happen. She begins to sweat profusely from her horrified state.

    FLASHBACK:

    INT. GU – WOODRUE’S OFFICE/LABORATORY – DAY

    Woodrue injects Pamela with the green liquids.

    EXT. OUTSKIRTS OF GOTHAM - DUMP – DAY

    Pamela becomes angry. Her eyes become a glaring stare as she turns toward Gotham City. She can’t feel this and obviously doesn’t notice, but her eyes become green and red at the same time and thorn vines suddenly pop up from behind her, creating a visual sense of her anger.

    INT. Al GHÛL MANOR – RÂ’S’ OFFICE – DAY

    Râ’s al Ghûl sits at his desk. He is drinking a stiff drink. Ubu walks into the office carrying a paper and walks over to Râ’s.

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL
    What is it, Ubu?

    UBU
    Have you seen the afternoon Gotham
    Globe, Master?

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL
    So I can read about the retched
    Gossip in this miserable town? I
    Could care less about afternoon
    Additions.

    UBU
    You might want to read this one
    That Vicki Vale just printed.

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL (Shocked.)
    But I thought she only covered the
    Morning editions?

    UBU
    Not this time. This one’s big. It
    Was too late for the morning Addition, and trust me, you won’t
    Like it.

    Ubu hands over the paper. Râ’s looks at it and then sits forward in shock.

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL
    Falcone and Flass are both in jail.
    Some character called Batman
    Delivered them and a lot of
    Incriminating pictures right on the
    Police Headquarters front door step
    With Jim Gordon sitting right out
    There to accept the gift...
    Commissioner Loeb would not give a
    Statement.

    Râ’s throws the paper on his desk and stands. He takes his glass over to the wet bar.

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL (Cont’d.)
    I think I’ll need a double now.
    How about you, Ubu?

    UBU
    No thank you, Master.

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL
    You will before this is all over...

    Râ’s pours the drink and begins to slowly drink it.

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL (Cont’d.)
    First, Thorne is apprehended by
    Gordon and some man named Bruce
    Wayne, of course I set up that
    Capture... But this... this changes
    Things. Falcone and Flass were
    Essential parts of my plans.

    UBU
    What would you like for me to do?

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL
    Get Maroni and Cobblepot here
    Immediately. Get Loeb as well.
    We’re going to have to escalate our
    Plans I’m afraid. This Batman could
    Become a potential problem.

    UBU
    Yes, master.

    Ubu bows and leaves the room. Râ’s turns to his window and sees something taped to it. He frowns as he goes over to the large window and opens it. He takes the note off and closes the window. The note has a similar Batsymbol to the one that Gordon had earlier. It says the following:

    “RÂ’S, I KNOW YOU’RE INVOLVED. YOUR DAUGHTER WOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOU. BE PREPARED. TWO HAVE BEEN TAKEN ALREADY. YOU WILL BE NEXT. THE DARK KNIGHT AVENGER IS COMING FOR YOU.”

    Râ’s gulps down the rest of his stiff drink and puts the note down on the desk. He smiles.

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL
    Come then, Batman. You have no idea
    Who you’re dealing with. I’ll be
    Waiting.

    EXT. GOTHAM STREET – DAY

    Pamela is still partially dressed in the vines, covering up her underwear as she slowly, groggily walks down the streets, getting looks from everyone that passes. She is still feeling nauseous as she slowly walks along. She turns a corner into an alley, not evening realizing it.

    EXT. GOTHAM ALLEY – DAY

    Pamela suddenly trips and falls into some garbage. She slowly stands back up.

    PAMELA (Weakly.)
    I can’t stay out of the garbage
    Today...

    Suddenly two thugs come out of the shadows of the alley and pull out guns.

    THUG 1
    Hey, pretty lady, give up your
    Money!

    Pamela looks up to them both with their guns. Her eyes roll into the back of her head as she can feel more vomit coming on.

    THUG 2
    Hey, Dan, she don’t look so hot.

    THUG 1
    Are you kidding? I’d do her.

    THUG 2
    No, not that. I mean, she looks
    Sick.

    THUG 1
    Oh, so what? She’s gonna give us
    Her money anyway.

    Pamela suddenly vomits all over the gun in Thug 1’s hands. The gun drops out of Thug 1’s hand.

    THUG 1 (Cont’d.)
    Eww. Are you crazy?

    Thug 2 looks down at the gun and the vomit. Grass and vines are coming up out of it, and toward the thugs.

    THUG 2
    Umm, Dan, let’s get out of here.

    THUG 1
    Not until we’ve got our money, damn
    It! Now hand it over!

    THUG 2
    I don’t think she has any. Let’s
    Go!

    The vines suddenly sprout up quickly grabbing hold of both men. They scream as they are being strangled by the vines, just like the workers at the dump. Pamela is in shock to see this happening. She turns and runs away as the thugs drop dead.

    EXT. GOTHAM GLOBE – DAY

    Bruce Wayne walks up to the tall building that has a Globe of the world above the entrance. He smiles as he walks toward the building.

    INT. GOTHAM GLOBE – NEWS FLOOR – DAY

    Bruce Wayne walks past several people in the news room. He is going over to a certain desk at the far end of the room. There is a blond haired woman sitting there typing something on her computer. She looks up toward Bruce. Her eyes enlarge as he smiles to her and extends his hand.

    BRUCE
    You’re Vicki Vale, right?

    VICKI VALE stands up and shakes Bruce’s hand.

    VICKI
    Oh... my... God... You’re Bruce
    Wayne.

    BRUCE
    That’s quite observant of you, Ms.
    Vale.

    VICKI
    Please, call me Vicki. Now what can
    I do for Gotham’s most eligible
    Bachelor.

    BRUCE
    Well, actually I’m dating someone
    Currently, but thank you for the
    Compliment anyway.

    VICKI
    You’re very welcome. Please sit.

    They both sit down. Bruce leans forward. Vicki can see the bags under his eyes.

    VICKI (Cont’d.)
    Are you alright? You look like you
    Didn’t sleep a wink last night.

    BRUCE
    You’d be right. I’ve had a lot of
    Important business at Wayne
    Enterprises lately.

    VICKI (Smiling)
    I know why you’re here now.

    BRUCE
    You do?

    VICKI
    That’s right. You’re here to ask me
    To do an article on Wayne
    Enterprises now that you’ve come
    Back to help out.

    BRUCE (Smiling.)
    No, Vicki. I’m here to ask you for
    Some information.

    VICKI (Confused.)
    Usually that’s one of my lines.

    BRUCE
    I’m sorry to put you on the spot
    Like this, but I’m looking for a
    Hopeful business arrangement with a
    Top mogul in industry here in
    Gotham. I wanted to check his
    Background before I met with him
    Though. Trust me though, you will
    Be greatly rewarded for any
    Information. I think The Globe
    Could use a nice donation to fix up
    Some things.

    Bruce smiles. Vicki raises and eyebrow and sighs. She opens her file cabinet beside her desk.

    VICKI
    Name?

    BRUCE
    Râ’s al Ghûl.

    Vicki closes her filing cabinet and leans forward.

    VICKI
    Sorry. I can’t help you.

    BRUCE (Confused.)
    What? Why?

    VICKI
    Are you insane?

    BRUCE
    I beg your pardon?

    VICKI
    Râ’s al Ghûl is not the kind of
    Person you want to be trying to do
    Background checks on. The last time
    Someone here at the Globe tried it,
    He was found floating in Gotham
    Harbor. My advice to you, Mr.
    Wayne, is to simply forget you ever
    Thought about getting involved with
    Him. He’s trouble with a capital T.

    BRUCE
    I’m not afraid of him if that’s
    What you’re thinking.

    VICKI
    Then you’re dumber then The Globe
    Says in their celebrity articles.
    I’m sorry. There’s nothing I can do
    For you, but if you by any chance
    Have some information on The
    Batman, I would gladly take some
    Notes.

    BRUCE
    Why would you think I know
    Something about him?

    VICKI
    Oh, no reason. Don’t take it
    Personal. I’ve been asking a lot of
    People about him lately. He’s very
    Fascinating. Much more so then Râ’s
    al Ghûl. Perhaps you should go into
    Business with him. I bet he’s got a
    Lot of connections.

    Bruce raises his eyebrow. She has no idea.

    INT. GU – CRANE’S LECTURE HALL – DAY

    DR. JONATHAN CRANE is lecturing to a class full of students, including Talia al Ghûl.

    CRANE
    The fears of the world are strong
    And powerful ones. Everyone knows
    How to deal with their fears in
    Their own ways, but in order avoid
    Your fears, you must become fear
    Itself.

    TALIA
    How do you do that, Dr. Crane?

    CRANE
    Well, Ms. al Ghûl, you have to look
    At it like this. Fear can lead
    Someone to seek a means of
    Conquering the fears. Let’s think
    Of Salvatore Maroni for instance. This
    Man is one of the most feared drug
    Lords in all of Gotham City. Now what
    Was it that caused him to gain so much
    Power in this city? It was the power
    Of fear. Everyone in this city is
    Afraid of something or another, and When it comes to the corruption that
    Exists, there is plenty to go around.

    TALIA
    Perhaps, but I wouldn’t be so sure.

    CRANE
    No one is, Ms. al Ghûl. That is why
    He’s such a fascinating subject. He
    Would be the greatest specimen of
    All time to get onto the couch for
    A season...

    Crane continues to babble in the background as Talia turns toward a window to look at the beautiful day that she’s missing outside right now. To her shock she sees a completely changed Pamela Isley staring into the window at her. She sees the red hair, the pink skin, and the vines wrapped around her and nearly gasps out loud. She can tell that Pamela is very sick. Talia quickly stands and starts out of the lecture hall. Crane is left bewildered by her sudden departure.

    EXT. GU – COURTYARD – DAY

    Talia races out of the building and over to where Pamela was standing to find that she has finally moved away from the building so she doesn’t attract anyone else’s attentions inside. Talia places her arms on Pamela’s shoulders.

    TALIA
    My God. What happened to you?

    PAMELA (Shaky.)
    I can’t... remember.

    Pamela falls to the ground. Talia bends down to her.

    PAMELA
    Woodrue drugged me... We were...
    Experimenting... Everything else is
    Just a blur...

    Talia looks around everywhere hoping that no one is seeing Pamela in her new state.

    TALIA
    I’ve got to get you out of here.
    I’ll take you home.

    Talia helps Pamela to her feet.

    INT. WAYNE MANOR – FOYER – DAY

    Bruce Wayne enters the mansion’s front door as Alfred comes in from the kitchen.

    ALFRED
    Thank Heavens. I was worried about
    You when I saw that your bed hadn’t
    Been slept in last night.

    BRUCE
    I pulled an all nighter, Alfred.
    Had an important meeting at Wayne
    Enterprises this morning.

    ALFRED
    Well, I should let you know that
    Your heroics last night got
    Noticed.

    BRUCE
    I know. Vicki Vale made quite the
    Article in the evening edition.
    Listen, I’m going to get a little
    Sleep before tonight’s outing. If
    I’m not up by 7, come get me up.

    Bruce starts up the stairs. Alfred is saddened assuming that Bruce is talking about another Batman outing.

    ALFRED
    What about your dinner date tonight
    With Ms. Isley?

    BRUCE
    That’s why I told you to wake me at
    7, Alfred.

    Alfred smiles and walks away.

    INT. Al GHÛL MANOR – TALIA’S BATHROOM – SHOWER – EVENING

    Pamela is taking a shower, trying to wash all of the garbage and grim off of her body. She is crying as she continues to shower. The stress is becoming too much for her. Thankfully though, no vines are trying to come out of her body.

    INT. AL GHÛL MANOR – TALIA’S BEDROOM – EVENING

    Talia is looking through her closet, obviously trying to find something for Pamela to wear. Pamela comes out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her body and another one wrapped around her head. Talia smiles to her as she pulls out some of her leisure clothes and hands them to Pamela.

    PAMELA
    Thanks...

    Pamela goes back into the bathroom and shuts the door. Talia walks over to the door and leans on the wall. She can hear Pamela crying from inside the bathroom.

    TALIA (Sincerely.)
    It’s going to be alright, Pam.
    We’ll figure out what happened. I
    Know your memories will come back
    To you. You just have to give it
    Some time.

    PAMELA (O.S.)
    What does it matter anyway? I’m
    Some sort of monster now.

    TALIA
    You aren’t a monster.

    PAMELA
    Yes, I am.

    TALIA
    The more you keep telling yourself
    That, the more you’ll grow to
    Believe it.

    Pamela opens the door halfway and sticks her head out. She narrows her eyes to Talia.

    PAMELA
    Don’t try to psychoanalyze me, al
    Ghûl.

    TALIA (Smiling.)
    Why not? You fuss at me whenever I
    Don’t recycle every little thing.
    Can you not handle the reversal?

    Pamela rolls her eyes and closes the door again. Talia just shakes her head, still smiling and walks away from the door and goes to sit on her bed. Suddenly Ubu walks into the room.

    UBU
    Shouldn’t you be at school?

    TALIA
    Shouldn’t you still be attached to
    Father’s hip?

    Ubu grunts. Pamela walks out of the bathroom now wearing Talia’s clothes. Ubu looks at Pamela in shock. He turns to Talia and then raises an eyebrow. He then frowns a little, thinking that he missed something. Pamela and Talia look at each other in confusion and then they turn to Ubu. He then starts grinning. They both freak.

    TALIA & PAMELA
    Eww! No way, pervert!

    Unknowingly to Ubu, Râ’s slowly walks into the room, probably hearing the two girls’ reactions. Talia smiles and walks over to Ubu.

    TALIA (Cont’d.)
    So, Ubu, does father know that you
    Have such thoughts?

    Ubu grunts and turns to walk out of the room, but stops on a dime when he sees Râ’s staring at him with a raised eyebrow.

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL
    And what thoughts would those be?

    Talia smiles again, this time evilly, and leans on Ubu’s broad shoulders.

    TALIA
    He thinks Pam and I are lesbians.

    Râ’s just turns back to Ubu and smacks him upside the head. He turns and leaves the room. Talia and Pamela start laughing. Ubu turns to Talia in anger. He grunts and leaves as well. Talia closes the door to her room and turns back to Pamela.

    TALIA (Cont’d.)
    Let’s do a little experimentation.

    Talia walks over to her nightstand and takes the two potted plants sitting on it and brings them over to Pamela. They sit down on the bed. Pamela hesitates.

    TALIA (Cont’d.)
    Go ahead.

    Pamela pulls her right hand over one of the plants. They both watch in awe as the plant starts to grow and cover the entire room. Pamela stops manipulating the plants.

    PAMELA (Horrified.)
    My God... I killed those four
    Men...

    TALIA (Excited.)
    Pamela, what kind of weed are you
    Smoking? I want some!

    PAMELA (Confused)
    Smoking weed? But they’re my
    Friends.

    TALIA
    Huh?

    PAMELA (Shaking head.)
    Nothing. I don’t know what I’m
    Talking about.

    INT. ITALIAN RESTURANT – EVENING

    Bruce sits at a table. He looks at his watch. Pamela is late. Bruce takes out his phone and dials. He waits. No answer. He tries another number. He waits.

    BRUCE
    Talia, it’s Bruce. Have you seen
    Pam? She was supposed to have
    Dinner with me tonight, but she’s
    Late.

    INT. AL GHÛL MANOR – TALIA’S BEDROOM – EVENING

    Talia is talking on her cell phone. Pamela is still sitting on the bed, scared out of her mind. Talia sighs as she looks over to Pamela.

    TALIA
    I haven’t seen her all day. I have
    Been a little worried.

    INT. ITALIAN RESTURANT – EVENING

    BRUCE
    I’m worried too. She wouldn’t
    Answer her cell phone. I think I’m
    Going to go look for her. She may
    Be in trouble. Will you help?

    INT. AL GHÛL MANOR – TALIA’S BEDROOM – EVENING

    TALIA
    Alright. Yeah. I’ll meet you at her
    Dorm.

    Talia hangs up and goes over to Pamela.

    TALIA (Cont’d.)
    I don’t know how Bruce is going to
    React to this, so I want you to
    Stay here until I can figure out
    What to do. My father will protect
    You. You’ll be safe here. Try to
    Clean up these plants and don’t let
    Father or Ubu see you use them.
    They might try to use you for their
    Conquest or something.

    PAMELA (Confused.)
    Conquest?

    TALIA
    Second Eden bullshit. Don’t worry
    About it.

    Talia takes her coat and leaves the room, shutting the door. Pamela can feel something coming back to her...

    FLASHBACK:

    INT. GU – WOODRUE’S OFFICE/LABOARATORY – DAY

    Pamela is once again being stabbed with the syringe filled with green liquid.

    INT. AL GHÛL MANOR – TALIA’S BEDROOM – EVENING

    Pamela is shaken out of the vision. She sits there breathing heavily.

    PAMELA (Whispering.)
    I have to know...

    Pamela gets up and starts out of the room.

    INT. GU – WOODRUE’S OFFICE/LABORATORY – NIGHT

    Woodrue is trying to prepare for some experiment, what we don’t know, but most likely, it’s something bad, and as usual, it involves green liquids.

    WOODRUE
    Damn it!

    Woodrue slams his hands on the lab table.

    WOODRUE (Cont’d.)
    What went wrong? Why did it kill
    Her? I know I had the correct
    Chemical balance. If only I had the
    Proper materials... but of course,
    This dimension doesn’t have the
    Technology to go dimension to
    Dimension in the blink of an eye...

    Woodrue slams several chemicals off of the table and stands there in disgust as he goes over to several notes and starts looking through them again.

    WOODRUE (Cont’d.)
    There was something that I didn’t
    Calculate... but what? What did I
    Forget to do?

    PAMELA (O.S.)
    That’s what I’d like to know.

    Woodrue turns around in shock as he stares at Pamela’s new look. His mouth falls open as he looks to Pamela’s newfound beauty.

    WOODRUE
    You’re alive...

    PAMELA
    Is that your professional
    Prognosis, doctor? What the hell
    Did you do to me?

    WOODRUE (Amazed.)
    What I set out to do from the
    Beginning, my dear. I created a
    Goddess to rule by my side. Someone
    Of my own species.

    PAMELA (Disgusted.)
    Your own species?

    WOODRUE
    I’m not human, dear. That is only
    My outer shell. Now you too are all
    Powerful. I was so afraid that you
    Were dead. I couldn’t risk being
    Seen with a dead student. That’s
    Why I took you to that dump. I’m so
    Sorry, my Queen. Please forgive me.

    Pamela is becoming more and more enraged as the vines and thorns begin to rise from her. Woodrue is saddened by this.

    WOODRUE (Cont’d.)
    Please don’t be mad. I don’t want
    To have to hurt you.

    PAMELA (Raising eyebrow)
    Hurt you? After all you’ve done to
    Me! How could you possibly hurt me
    Anymore then you already have!?

    Woodrue backs away a few steps from Pamela’s rage.

    PAMELA (Cont’d.)
    Now it’s time for you to feel my
    Pain!

    Pamela rushes toward Woodrue and knocks him straight into one of the lab tables. Woodrue stands up immediately and looks forward in anger. His eyes turn completely green.

    WOODRUE
    I didn’t want to do this, but
    You’ve left me no choice.

    Woodrue suddenly begins to turn completely green himself. He sprouts his own vines, leaves, and bark. He’s turning into a human tree! THE FLOROINIC MAN!

    PAMELA
    So that’s what you meant by a
    Different species.

    Pamela sends out vines toward Floronic Man. His vines shoot out as well. Both of them clash, sending both Pamela and Floronic Man in opposite directions, flying through walls, taking half the building with them. People run for their lives.

    INT. GU – DORMS – PAMELA’S ROOM – NIGHT

    Bruce and Talia are standing in Pamela’s dorm room as they suddenly hear screaming all over campus. They go outside the room seeing people running for the exit of the building. Bruce stops the closest person. It’s Jonathan Crane.

    BRUCE
    What’s going on?

    CRANE
    A monster! There’s a monster
    Attacking some woman in Ford Hall!
    I have to document it!

    TALIA
    Are you insane, Dr. Crane? That’s
    Too dangerous.

    CRANE
    When fears are rampant, Ms. al
    Ghûl, you must observe and
    Document.

    Crane takes off. Bruce and Talia follow after him.

    EXT. GU – CAMPUS – NIGHT

    Crane, Bruce, and Talia all exit the dorm building and stop in shock and horror as they see The Floronic Man and Pamela fighting. Bruce’s mouth drops when he realizes that it’s Pamela that is fighting the monster. Talia gulps understanding what’s going on. Pamela manages to strike one of her vines right into Floronic Man’s chest, causing him to gasp and fall to the ground. He breathes heavily as Pamela continues to strike, sending vines into his body. Floronic Man slowly begins to turn back into Jason Woodrue.

    Crane breathes in all of the screams from people running away on campus. A tear rolls down Talia’s face. Pamela kneels down, crying as she stops attacking Woodrue, who lies near dead. Bruce slowly, confused, moves over toward Pamela. Talia and Crane follow shortly after. Bruce kneels down to Pamela, who looks at him and then turns away.

    PAMELA
    No... Don’t look at me.

    BRUCE
    Pam, it’s alright. I’m going to
    Help you.

    PAMELA
    You can’t help this!

    CRANE
    Perhaps she could make progress at
    Arkham. You could help her there.

    PAMELA
    NO!!!

    Pamela jumps up and starts running away from everyone.

    BRUCE
    Pamela, no!

    Bruce starts running after her, but Pamela swings a vine out, causing Bruce to fall. He looks back up as Pamela makes her escape into the darkness. Talia rushes over and bends down to Bruce, making sure he’s alright. They both watch as their close friend vanishes from their lives...

    4 MONTHS LATER

    INT. AL GHÛL MANOR – RÂ’S’ OFFICE – NIGHT – STORMY

    Râ’s al Ghûl sits at his desk. The door opens by Ubu. He stands aside allowing Harvey Dent to enter. Ubu closes the door, leaving the room.

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL
    Welcome, Councilor.

    HARVEY
    What do you want?

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL
    To settle a little business
    Arrangement, Mr. Dent.

    Râ’s stands and goes to his wet bar.

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL (Cont’d.)
    Would you like a drink?

    HARVEY
    No.

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL
    Very well.

    Râ’s walks over to Harvey and places a hand on his shoulder.

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL (Cont’d.)
    When you started dating my
    Daughter, I’m sure you assumed that
    There would be reasons behind it.

    HARVEY
    Not at all. Talia isn’t one to
    Follow your beliefs.

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL
    Are you sure? How else would the
    City’s district attorney end up
    With the daughter of the most
    Feared warlord on the planet?

    HARVEY
    Obviously for reasons that you
    Haven’t thought of.

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL
    You’re very arrogant, Mr. Dent.
    Arrogance isn’t a becoming trait
    For you, compared to many other
    Politicians in this city. I had you
    Put in office, and I could have you
    Removed.

    HARVEY
    You have no power over me.

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL
    How else was it that you managed to
    Win the election several months ago
    Then? It is because I allowed you
    To. I have great plans for you, Mr.
    Dent. You will help to lead a new
    Nation once the reckoning comes.
    Think over what I’ve offered you
    Tonight, and come see me tomorrow.
    Same time. We’ll talk.

    Râ’s smiles as Harvey coldly removes himself from the office. Râ’s turns around to go back to his desk, but the door suddenly busts open. Râ’s turns in shock to see two thugs make their way into the room followed shortly by The Penguin.

    PENGUIN
    Hello, Râ’s. We need to talk.

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL
    What is the meaning of this,
    Cobblepot?

    PENGUIN
    After the last Society meeting I
    Came to realize that your plans
    Just aren’t up to par. I think it’s
    Time that the Society had new
    Leadership, since you can’t keep us
    From being put in jail.

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL
    I’m shocked that you came to
    Realize anything.

    PENGUIN (Smirking.)
    In all due respect, Râ’s, you’re a
    Madman.

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL (Laughs.)
    Well, at least you’re honest. Now
    Get out of my home before I throw
    You out myself.

    PENGUIN
    Certainly not with the help of your
    Bodyguard. He’s lying unconscious
    At the front door.

    Râ’s raises his eyebrow.

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL
    I don’t need him to deal with the
    Likes of you.

    Râ’s quickly grabs his cane and pulls out the hidden sword. The thugs attack, but Râ’s is quick, chopping them down. Penguin marches over and pulls up his umbrella to Râ’s’ face. Râ’s laughs.

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL (Cont’d.)
    Cute, Penguin. Are you going to
    Protect me from the rain?

    A small sword slides out of the top of the umbrella. Râ’s smiles as he begins to duel with The Penguin. The thugs slowly collect themselves and get ready to attack again while Râ’s is dealing with The Penguin. Suddenly the large glass window crashes inward as a dark figure flies in crashing into the thugs. Râ’s and The Penguin turn to see The Batman staring both of them, with Penguin’s thugs lying on the ground. The Penguin squawks of sorts.

    PENGUIN (Shocked.)
    What the...

    Batman spreads his cape, showing his wingspread.

    PENGUIN (Cont’d.)
    One bird meets another... Pardon
    Me, Râ’s. I have much to do.

    Penguin points the same umbrella toward Batman and shoots as a pink mist sprays around the room, causing Batman and Râ’s to both loose visual of Penguin as he makes his escape. The smoke clears and Râ’s and Batman are left staring each other down.

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL
    You disappoint me, detective.

    BATMAN (Stepping forward.)
    I don’t care.

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL
    We were supposed to meet for the
    First time 4 months ago. I waited
    Up half the night. You were a no
    Show. In fact, no one has seen you
    Since after the night you caught
    Falcone. Why come to my rescue?

    BATMAN
    You have information that I want.

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL
    And what would that be?

    BATMAN
    What are you planning, Ra’s?

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL
    That is for me to know, and you to
    Find out.

    Batman turns quickly and grabs Râ’s’ dress coat. He pulls him up into the air. Râ’s is forced to drop his sword from this sudden motion.

    BATMAN
    No games. Tell me. What was Penguin
    Talking about? What did he want to
    Take over?

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL
    Something big is in the works, and
    Penguin wants in.

    BATMAN
    What?

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL
    It seems to escape my memory at the
    Moment.

    BATMAN
    Perhaps I can enlighten you.

    Batman pulls Râ’s over toward the big, broken window and holds him outside of it. Râ’s raises his eyebrow and smiles.

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL
    Do you honestly think you can scare
    Me, detective? I know your ways.
    You may be a vigilante, but you
    Would never kill.

    Batman narrows his eyes.

    BATMAN
    You’re treading on thin ice.

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL
    And why should I care what your
    Feelings of me are?

    Batman pulls Râ’s back into the room and sets him on the ground. Râ’s simply brushes his coat off.

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL (Cont’d.)
    This is one man that you do not
    Intimidate.

    BATMAN
    How long that lasts is up to you.

    Batman walks over to Penguin’s thugs, grabs them, and fires a Batpistol. He flies out of the room with the thugs tied up. Râ’s looks out the window seeing the Batmobile. He smiles at it’s beauty.

    INT. POLICE DEPARTMENT – GORDON’S OFFICE – NIGHT

    Jim Gordon is writing a report at his desk. Loeb comes into the room.

    LOEB
    Gordon! How is that Batman case
    Coming?

    GORDON
    It’s gone dry, sir. He hasn’t been
    Seen or heard from for 4 months.

    LOEB
    He won’t stay gone for long. I’m
    Bringing in someone to help you
    From Chicago. She’s a tough cookie,
    But she’ll do good. Sarah Essen.
    Expect her next week. She’ll be
    Your new partner.

    GORDON (Nodding.)
    Yes, sir.

    Loeb walks out. Gordon shakes his head.

    GORDON (Cont’d.)
    Batman... he won’t be back.

    There is a sudden knocking on Gordon’s window. Gordon jumps from the sudden noise. He stands up, pulls out his gun and opens the window quickly. He is shocked as all he sees is a couple thugs tied up outside his window. He looks to the roof of the adjacent building and sees a dark shadow disappear over it.

    GORDON (Cont’d.)
    I must be loosing it...

    EXT. OUTSKIRTS OF GOTHAM – CITY DUMP – DAY

    We’re seeing the small garden that Pamela had created is still there and flourishing. A stranger appears and smiles. She is wearing a trench coat and a hat. The garden recognizes Pamela as it starts to move around.

    PAMELA (Whispering.)
    Yes, babies. I have returned to
    Help you grow stronger and more
    Powerful.

    Suddenly vines sprout from the small garden, getting larger, and larger as a building is formed.

    INT. OUTSKIRTS OF GOTHAM – CITY DUMP – PLANT HOUSE - DAY

    Pamela walks inside and chuckles a bit as she takes off her hat and coat to reveal her new costume that is a strapless green outfit. It is covered with very thin vines in certain areas. Her eyes are also covered in thin vines, forming a plant-made mask. We are witness to the birth of POISON IVY.

    POISON IVY
    It is time.

    INT. GU – LECTURE HALL – NIGHT

    Jonathan Crane exits his office and starts to leave the lecture hall to go into the hallway, but suddenly stops as he hears a sort of hissing sound. He turns around, looking everywhere for the source of the sound.

    CRANE
    Hello? Is someone here?

    Suddenly several vines wrap themselves around Crane’s body, silencing him as he is dragged out of the lecture hall.

    INT. FRIES HOUSEHOLD – NIGHT

    Victor and Nora Fries are both sitting at the dinning room table eating their dinner. They say nothing, just continue eating. Suddenly the wall behind Nora crashes inward. Nora screams as vines grab hold of her.

    FRIES
    Nora!

    The vines grab hold of Victor Fries as well. They both are useless against this attack.

    INT. CITY HALL – HARVEY’S NEW OFFICE – NIGHT

    Harvey sits in a new bigger office then his other one. He is writing something as a vine suddenly wraps itself around him, causing him to drop his pen and remain silent.

    1 DAY LATER

    INT. BATCAVE – OBSERVATION PLATFORM – DAY

    Bruce Wayne sits at the Batcomputer. He continues to constantly type away at the computer, looking for the right answers. Alfred comes up the platform with a tray of food.

    ALFRED
    Still trying to figure out Râ’s al
    Ghûl’s plans, sir?

    Bruce turns to Alfred and sighs.

    BRUCE
    I don’t think so... I’m working on
    The kidnappings. It doesn’t quite
    Make sense. I could’ve thought that
    It was something to do with Gotham
    University before Harvey was
    Kidnapped. Now I’m just not so
    Sure. Jason Woodrue is still in
    Arkham, so I know he’s not the
    Cause.

    ALFRED
    Perhaps this is Râ’s. You have
    Suspected something along the lines
    Of genocide. He could be choosing
    People for a rebirth.

    BRUCE
    Possibly... But none of the Society
    Has been taken, so that’s what’s
    Making me think otherwise. I’ve got
    A bad feeling about all this. There
    Was a green substance left at each
    Crime scene. I took a sample for
    Analysis, and was able to determine
    That it’s a similar compound to the
    Substances found in Jason Woodrue’s
    Lab...

    ALFRED
    Heavens... You think Pamela’s
    Returned.

    BRUCE
    Yes, Alfred. I’m afraid so.

    EXT. AL GHÛL MANOR – GROUNDS – DAY

    Bruce and Talia are walking together in the courtyard. Ubu isn’t too far behind, keeping an eye on them in suspicion of Bruce.

    TALIA
    I’m sorry, Bruce. I haven’t seen
    Her since that horrible night. Do
    You honestly believe that she could
    Be behind Harvey’s kidnapping?

    BRUCE
    And everyone else as well. I have
    To find her.

    TALIA
    But what could you do? She’s become
    Something that neither one of us
    Could handle. She’s far too
    Powerful.

    BRUCE
    I have to try, Talia. I abandoned
    Her once. I can’t do it again.

    TALIA
    She was right about you. You are
    The perfect man.

    BRUCE (Smiling.)
    Thank you, Talia. If you see her,
    Please call me.

    TALIA
    Don’t worry. I will.

    INT. AL GHÛL MANOR – TALIA’S BEDROOM – DAY

    The vines are obviously no longer in the room, but there are still shades of green from when the accident happened. Talia sighs as she sits down on her bed. The window in Talia’s room suddenly busts open. Talia stands quickly, ready to fight, but retracts when she sees Poison Ivy enter through the window almost sitting on some vines.

    TALIA (Shocked.)
    Pamela! I was so worried about you.

    POISON IVY
    You must come with me now.

    TALIA
    Why?

    POISON IVY
    The time has come. You will be safe
    With me.

    Ubu rushes into the room. Some vines attack Ubu and keep him attacked to the wall and at bay while another vine grabs hold of Talia and pulls her out the window as she screams and struggles to be let go, unsuccessfully. Poison Ivy laughs evilly as she leaves the window as well.

    EXT. AL GHÛL MANOR – GROUNDS – DAY

    The vines carry Poison Ivy and Talia away from the area.

    EXT. GOTHAM STREET – DAY

    Bruce Wayne sees this happening after hearing Talia’s screams. His eyes enlarge as he notices Pamela in her costume. He continues to watch in horror as the vines carry them toward the city dump.

    EXT. ANOTHER GOTHAM STREET – DAY

    Râ’s al Ghûl stares in horror as his daughter is carried away screaming toward the city dump. His eyes narrow as he becomes enraged. Vicki Vale is in the background watching Râ’s’ reaction. She smiles as she smells the air of news. Râ’s takes off after the vines.

    VICKI
    Pulitzer Prize, here I come.

    Vicki takes off after Râ’s.

    EXT. OUTSKIRTS OF GOTHAM – CITY DUMP – DAY

    Râ’s moves through the dump quickly as he gets closer to the large plant fortress, which is what it has now become because of how huge it is now. Râ’s starts toward the large entrance doors, but stops when some vines suddenly take hold of him. The doors open as Poison Ivy comes out looking at Râ’s in delight.

    POISON IVY
    I knew you would come for her, Râ’s
    Al Ghûl. Welcome to my humble
    Castle. Come in.

    The vines begin to drag Râ’s into the fortress. Poison Ivy starts to go back inside, but stops when she sees movement not to far away. She realizes that it’s a blond woman. Ivy calls forth more vines through her mind as they shoot out toward the woman and grab hold, dragging her into the fortress, screaming all the way.

    INT. IVY’S FORTRESS – DAY

    Ivy looks at her new prisoners. She recognizes the woman.

    POISON IVY
    Vicki Vale. I’m not surprised that
    A news woman would show up. You
    People can’t keep your noses out of
    Other people’s business. No matter.
    The new world will need women like
    You to help populate it. And just
    In case...

    Ivy snatches Vicki’s camera away from her and throws it aside.

    POISON IVY (Cont’d.)
    Enjoy your stay, Ms. Vale.

    The vines carry Vicki over to the other prisoners: Harvey, Talia, Crane, Victor, and Nora. They are all shackled to the walls by the vines. Vicki becomes trapped as well. Ivy turns back to Râ’s.

    POISON IVY (Cont’d.)
    Release him.

    The vines loosen and remove themselves from around Râ’s.

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL
    I have the feeling that I’m here
    Not truly because of my daughter.

    POISON IVY (Nods.)
    You’re correct. You see, during the
    Time that I was friends with your
    Daughter, she told me a great many
    Things, including that you plan
    Something much like I do. You plan
    To cause a Second Eden. I can
    Understand your conquest. I too
    Want the same thing, and together
    We can achieve it. I am all
    Powerful. I have become the savior
    Of plants. They must not become
    Extinct. Mother Nature has granted
    Me these powers in order to help
    You. This is our chance, Râ’s al
    Ghûl. Join me. I have our future
    Leaders already here: A Biologist,
    A Chemist, A Psychologist, a nosy
    Reporter, a politician, and finally
    Your own daughter. The world will
    Be ours for the taking. I can begin
    An evolutionary effect that will
    Shake the foundations of the planet
    And send out my vines to overtake
    The cities of the world. Billions
    Will die, but all of us will live
    On to bread a true and pure
    Generation of people that will
    Respect and watch over their
    World’s natural resources.

    Râ’s is considering this offer. He thinks it all over to himself quietly. Poison Ivy just paces the room while he tries to decide. Talia looks over to Harvey beside her. He looks very weak, like he’s been drained, probably from having to remain standing for nearly 2 days.

    TALIA (Whispering.)
    Harvey, can you hear me?

    HARVEY (Weak.)
    Yeah...

    TALIA (Whispering.)
    Can’t you reason with her? She’s
    Been friends with you longer then
    Me.

    HARVEY (Weak.)
    It’s like she can’t remember me...
    Something’s wrong with her...

    Talia turns back to her father and Ivy in despair. There is no hope.

    INT. WAYNE MANOR – HALLWAY – DAY

    Bruce is walking quickly down the hallway. Alfred is steadily behind him.

    ALFRED
    But sir, it’s the middle of the
    Day.

    BRUCE
    I have no choice, Alfred. Pamela
    Needs my help. I can’t give up on
    Her now. She needs help and there
    Are innocent people being held
    Hostage. Batman has to go to work.

    INT. BATCAVE – DAY

    Bruce comes into the Batcave and begins suiting himself for the final confrontation. There is a quick montage of the costume being put on. Batman comes around a corner and over to Alfred and the Batmobile.

    ALFRED
    Do be careful, sir.

    Batman jumps into the Batmobile and takes off down the exit.

    INT. BATMOBILE – DAY

    Batman pulls up a cell phone and dials a number.

    INT. SQUAD CAR – DAY

    Jim Gordon is in his squad car, on his way to the dump. His cell phone starts ringing. He quickly answers.

    GORDON
    Gordon.

    INT. BATMOBILE – DAY

    BATMAN
    Gordon. This is Batman.

    INT. SQUAD CAR – DAY

    GORDON (Shocked.)
    How did you get this number?

    INT. BATMOBILE – DAY

    BATMAN
    No time. You have to get to the
    City dump, right away. You and only
    You. Trust no one.

    INT. SQUAD CAR - DAY

    GORDON
    I’m already on my way there alone,
    But I might not be for long. Loeb
    Is getting together a SWAT team as
    We speak.

    INT. BATMOBILE – DAY

    BATMAN
    Then we don’t have much time.
    Hurry. Batman out.

    Batman continues to drive as he throws the phone in the passenger seat.

    EXT. OUTSKIRTS OF GOTHAM – CITY DUMP – FORTRESS – DAY

    Gordon has his gun in hand. He nears the entrance to the building and is suddenly pulled off his feet by vines that take up into the air and straight to the roof of the fortress. Poison Ivy appears coming out of an entrance to the roof and walks over. She recognizes him.

    POISON IVY
    My God. Cops too? Can’t I have a
    Break here?

    GORDON (Blankly.)
    You should try being in my
    Situation.

    Poison Ivy walks over to the roof’s edge. She ponders.

    POISON IVY
    Hmm... I can’t have any more
    Interruptions. Better set some
    Traps.

    EXT. BATMOBILE – CITY DUMP – DAY

    The Batmobile stops a few feet from the fortress. Batman jumps out and runs over toward the fortress. He starts to go up the steps toward the entrance, but hits one of the new booby traps. He is set sailing up to the roof as well and lands right beside Gordon. They both look at each other.

    BATMAN
    Some predicament.

    GORDON
    Don’t worry... I’m rooted to the
    Situation.

    BATMAN (Blankly.)
    I noticed.

    Batman reaches into his utility belt and pulls out two Batarangs. He hands one to Gordon. He gets the idea and they both start cutting the vines.

    INT. FORTRESS – DAY

    Poison Ivy suddenly starts feeling sick. She falls to the ground hard. She can feel the vines being cut by Batman and Gordon, but there’s nothing she can do to stop them. Râ’s raises an eyebrow as he looks at the woman in confusion. He walks over and helps her to her feet.

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL
    I understand your visions now. You
    Are right. We must together create
    The new Eden.

    TALIA
    No! You can’t!

    Râ’s and Ivy look over to Talia.

    TALIA (Cont’d.)
    This isn’t right! Stop this!

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL
    Stay out of this, Talia.

    TALIA
    No! I’ve stayed out of your affairs
    For long enough! It’s time for a
    Change! Pam, you can’t let yourself
    Become this monster.

    POISON IVY
    I already have, Talia! Don’t you
    See that?

    TALIA
    No. The real you still exists
    Inside. You are not heartless. You
    Wouldn’t help my father to kill
    Billions of people. Please. Don’t
    Do this. You are better then this.
    You are my best friend, Pamela!
    Snap out of it!

    Poison Ivy throws a vine toward Talia, which smacks her in the face, at the same time causing her to fall out of the restraints holding her to the wall. She crashes to the ground.

    POISON IVY
    Pamela Isley is dead! Only Poison
    Ivy remains!

    BATMAN (O.S.)
    Do you really believe that?

    Poison Ivy and Râ’s al Ghûl both turn to see Batman and Gordon running down the steps from the roof. Batman pulls out a communicator.

    BATMAN (Cont’d.)
    Phase two. Find a way inside.

    ALFRED (V.O.)
    Very good, sir.

    Batman and Gordon both stand ready to fight. Râ’s steps in Ivy’s path.

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL
    Leave the detective to me. It is
    Time that I test out your skills.

    Râ’s pulls up his cane and removes his sword from it. He tosses the sword away. Batman opens his cape to reveal that he’s carrying a sword. He came prepared. They both stand ready to fight.

    BATMAN
    Take care of the prisoners, Gordon.

    Gordon starts to walk over to the prisoners. Poison Ivy has other plans as she swings out a vine that attaches to Gordon.

    POISON IVY
    Here piggy, piggy.

    EXT. FORTRESS – DAY

    The Rolls Royce has just pulled up. Alfred gets out and runs toward the fortress. He has a bottle of weed killer in his hand as he begins to spray it on the fortress.

    INT. FORTRESS – DAY

    Poison Ivy starts to gag as she lets go of the vines holding Gordon. Gordon untangles himself and starts toward the prisoners. Batman turns away from Râ’s before they can start dueling. He sees Ivy dying in front of him. He pulls up his communicator.

    BATMAN
    Whatever you’re doing, stop. You’re
    Killing Pamela.

    EXT. FORTRESS – DAY

    Alfred throws down the weed killer and runs for the Batmobile as he now has another idea. He jumps in and starts the engine.

    ALFRED
    Oh, Heavenly Father, protect me.

    Alfred puts the peddle to the metal and flies toward the fortress. His lungs flare as he losses control and crashes right into the fortress.

    INT. FORTRESS – DAY

    Poison Ivy flies through the air because of the Batmobile’s impact. She crashes near where Talia is now standing. Ivy stands up and looks at Talia scared.

    TALIA
    You don’t have to be afraid of me,
    Pam. I’m your friend. Please let me
    Hope you. You can move beyond this.

    POISON IVY
    There is no moving on! All I can do
    Now is end the corruption of this
    Planet to protect the survivors
    From never becoming what I have
    Become. I cannot allow that to
    Happen. Please, Talia, join your
    Father and I. It is your only hope!

    TALIA (Disgusted.)
    I’ve heard enough.

    Talia spin kicks Ivy, sending her back to the ground. Ivy stands back up and runs over to Talia as the two fight for control of the situation.

    The fortress now seems to be crumbling. Poison Ivy is loosing her concentration with the fortress because of her battle with Talia. Large vines crash around everywhere as Alfred runs over to Gordon and starts helping him to release the prisoners.

    GORDON (Confused.)
    Why are you helping Batman?

    ALFRED (Normal tone.)
    I know his tailor.

    Batman and Râ’s are fighting like madmen as their swords clash around the disintegrating fortress.

    BATMAN
    Give it up, Râ’s. This building is
    Falling apart.

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL
    Don’t go soft on my account,
    Detective. Fight!

    Râ’s clashes his sword again on Batman’s as the fight continues.

    Talia suddenly does a huge spin kick that hits Ivy right in the side of the head. She crashes right through a wall of the crumbling fortress and rolls down the garbage hill to the bottom, where she goes unconscious. Talia runs over to where Batman and Râ’s are fighting.

    TALIA
    Stop this! We have to get out of
    Here now!

    Suddenly a heavy vine lands right on Talia, pinning her to the ground.

    TALIA (Cont’d.)
    Help!

    Râ’s suddenly drops his sword as he sees this happen.

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL
    Talia!

    Râ’s and Batman both run over to Talia. They both pull on the vine with all their strength until she is able to crawl out. All three of them stand in the middle of the fortress noticing that everyone else is already out. They are all that is left. However, any holes in the walls are now trying to close themselves up in a futile attempt to heal itself, because it is a living plant after all. The only hole that is still open is the one that was made by the Batmobile.

    RÂ’S AL GHÛL
    I hate to state the obvious, but
    That is our only escape.

    They all take off running. Talia stumbles and falls. Batman runs over and helps her up. They all continue out of the fortress quickly. Batman jumps into the Batmobile and starts going in reverse out as Râ’s and Talia run away from the fortress.

    EXT. FORTRESS – DUMP – DAY

    Suddenly, as Râ’s and Talia make it to everyone else, the fortress implodes on itself. Everyone watches in amazement as the fortress falls. Râ’s coldly removes himself from all of this and quickly leaves before the Batmobile arrives, Batman jumping out.

    Batman walks over to the unconscious Poison Ivy. He bends down to her. In Batman’s eyes, we can see the pain that he is in over the woman that he loves. He stands back up and looks to Gordon.

    BATMAN
    Pamela Isley is an innocent girl
    Plagued by a mutation caused by
    Professor Jason Woodrue. She could
    Not know what she was truly doing.

    CRANE
    I suggest that we forgo any
    Criminal charges and have her taken
    Straight to Arkham Asylum where she
    Can get the proper help that she
    Needs... so that she can possibly
    Even be cured.

    GORDON
    I agree. I’ll make the arrangements
    Myself.

    TALIA
    I would like to be of assistance.
    She is my best friend after all.

    HARVEY
    (Trying to regain strength.)
    I want to help as well. She and I
    Go way back, and I’m sure Bruce
    Wayne could help to.

    GORDON
    Wayne’s money, Dent’s power of
    Attorney, and an honest al Ghûl. I
    Do believe this girl will be well
    In hand.

    BATMAN
    Speaking of al Ghûl, where is your
    Father, Talia?

    Talia looks around everywhere.

    BATMAN (Cont’d.)
    Escaped... one day though, he
    Won’t.

    1 WEEK LATER

    INT. ARKHAM ASYLUM – VISITING ROOM – DAY

    Pamela Isley sits in asylum standard issue. She looks sadly around the room at all of the nutcases that she is surrounded by. Bruce, Harvey, and Talia all enter and sit at the table with her. She smiles at them.

    PAMELA
    It’s good of you to come. All of
    You... especially after everything
    I’ve done.

    Bruce places his hand on Pamela’s. She looks up at him with her dark green eyes. He smiles at her.

    BRUCE
    Things will get better for you. I
    Promise you that.

    PAMELA
    How do you know?

    BRUCE
    Because I have faith in you. I know
    That you will make it through this.
    You have all three of us to help
    You. We will always be here for
    You. Especially me.

    Pamela’s eyes brighten a little.

    BRUCE (Cont’d.)
    I still love you, Pam. You’re the
    World to me. You always will be.
    Nothing can ever change that. Not
    Even these strange powers that you
    Have. Heck, I even like you with
    Red hair. It looks good.

    Pamela laughs.

    BRUCE (Cont’d.)
    Dr. Victor Fries is working on your
    Condition. He will find a cure for
    What Woodrue did to you.

    PAMELA (Tearing up.)
    And what if there’s nothing that
    Can be done?

    BRUCE
    Then we’ll take it one day at a
    Time.

    Pamela smiles a little. She looks to all three of her closest friends. A woman with blond hair comes over. She is wearing a white lab coat and glasses. She sits down with the others. They all smile.

    BRUCE
    You remember, Harlene, don’t you,
    Pam?

    Pamela looks up to see an older Harlene Quinzel smiling at her.

    BRUCE (Cont’d.)
    We requested that she take over
    Your medical visits. Hopefully
    It’ll help to have a friend to talk
    To.

    HARLENE
    Don’t worry, Red. Everything’s
    Gonna be a ok.

    The scene of the five friends FADES TO...

    EXT. GOTHAM ROOFTOP – NIGHT

    Batman stands on the roof. He is looking over to the Police Headquarters building as a new spotlight lights up the night sky. Over the dark clouds of night we see the Batsignal shinning in all its glory. Batman gets ready to swing over to the roof of police headquarters when he suddenly hears a loud, menacing laugh in the distance. He turns and narrows his eyes as he listens to the laughing.

    BATMAN
    Râ’s!

    Batman swings away from the building and off in the direction of the laughter.

    FADE OUT:
