THE KNIGHT CRUSADE
TEASER TRAILER
DONE AS IF IT WERE A MOVIE:
PICTURE IS BLACK:
WB LOGO ZOOMS OUT FROM THE SCREEN…
OVER DIALOGUE:
“The deal with Oscorp is moving along great. They informed us that they’re moving head-on into the deal.”
We see a flash of the fat moon rising above Gotham City; a reddish-black, bloated sky dangles above the gothic buildings of Gotham…
The picture opens to see the face of Lucius Fox, Bruce Wayne’s corporate engineer to Wayne Enterprises. The picture then cuts to Bruce Wayne, listening to Lucius’ conversation.
SLAM-CUT TO:
“Gentlemen, I hate to depart so quickly, but I have to leave.” Bruce says.
SLAM-CUT TO:
“Peter Parker, Daily Bugle. Ah, I heard you have an amazing house, do you think I can shoot it sometime?” We see Peter Parker, speaking to an uninterested Wayne, in the crowded Century Square of Gotham…
THE PICTURE QUICKLY CUTS CITYSCAPE, AS THE WORDS:
IN AN UNSURE WORLD
COME ACROSS THE SCREEN.
“Sure, come to the Grand Ball, at the Manor tonight.” Bruce replies.
THE PICTURE QUICKLY CUTS TO CITYSCAPE, AS THE WORDS:
DRENCHED IN DARKNESS
FLASHES ON THE SCREEN
CUT TO: FLASH OF A DARK SILHOUETTE, JUMPING THROUGH THE AIR, BAT-LIKE WINGS FLOW THROUGH THE AIR BEHIND HIS BODY.
CUT TO FLASH ANOTHER PROFILE SWINGS ABOVE A DARK CITYSCAPE, HANGING ONTO STRANDS OF WEBBING.
THE PICTURE QUICKLY CUTS CITYSCAPE, AS THE WORDS:
CORRUPTION AND CRIME REIGN…
COME ACROSS THE SCREEN
A FAST PACED MUSIC BEGINS, WE FLASH TO MANY ACTION SEQUENCES OF THE MOVIE…
BATMOBILE SAILING DOWN THE STREETS OF GOTHAM, FLAMES PROTRUDING FROM THE BACK
SPIDERMAN PUNCHING AND BEATING DOWN PEOPLE IN AN ALLEY
BATMAN DIVING DOWN INTO THE DEPTHS OF THE STREETS, THE CITY WHIZZING HIM BY.
SPIDERMAN AMAZINGLY SWINGS DRAMATICALLY THROUGH THE CITY
WE SEE A BATARANG ZOOMING THROUGH THE AIR, THE CAMERA FOLLOWING EXTREMELY CLOSE, AS IT THEN STOPS SHORT IS BATMAN’S HAND
THE MUSIC STOPS…
WE SEE THE EVIL GRIN OF NORMAL OSBOURNE, SITTING IN THE DARKNESS IN WHAT LOOKS LIKE A CELL.
CUT TO BLACK.
NORMAN OSBORNE VOICEOVER:
“It’s time for me to come out of retirement… And return to public life…”
MUSIC BEGINS AGAIN, EXPLOSIONS ROCK THE CITY
We see Harry Osborne speaking to his father, via telephone.
“Dad I want to get you out… But I don’t know how…”
“I think I have an idea…” Norman Osborne says…
“But how?”
MUSIC STOPS…
ALL WE SEE ARE MUSCLES. A MAN OF IMMENSE SIZE FLEXED HIS BACK AND SHOULDER MUSCLES… THE CAMERA RISES TO SHOW A CHROME RECTANGLE BOX ON THE BACK OF A MAN’S HEAD, SEVERAL TUBES COMING OUT OF IT, THE BOX IS HELD TO HIS HEAD BY A BLACK MASK…
“ARGHHHH!!!” WE HEAR THE RUMBLE OF HIS VOICE
THEN WE SEE A SLOW MOTION SHOT OF THE IMMENSE AND HUGE BANE, SOARING THROUGH THE AIR, AND LANDING ON A ROOF, BREAKING THROUGH LAYERS OF CONCRETE.
WE SEE TINY FLASHES OF THE GREEN GOBLIN AND SPIDERMAN BRAWLING IT OUT.
SPIDERMAN TAKES A PUNCH FROM THE GOBLIN, HE FLIES THROUGH THE AIR IN SLOW MOTION, HIS MASK DANGLING OFF, SALIVA SPEWING FROM HIS MOUTH, HE SAILS BACKWARD, THE FORCE OF THE HIT TOO MUCH FOR HIM TO HANDLE, AND HE SLAMS INTO A WALL
“I don’t know of any steroid that makes a man eight feet tall, Alfred” We cut into Bruce deep in thought talking to Alfred.
A fast paced Danny Elfman theme plays swiftly.
THE PICTURE QUICKLY CUTS TO CITYSCAPE, AS THE WORDS:
TWO HEROES
FLASHES ON THE SCREEN
WE SEE BANE HOLDING LISA GELLAR AND MARY JANE OVER A BUILDING
WE SEE AN ARGUMENT BETWEEN BATMAN AND SPIDERMAN
“THAT’S STREET JUSTICE!!” SPIDERMAN SCREAMS AGAIN
“WHAT’S WRONG WITH STREET JUSTICE?!?!” BATMAN REPLIES
“DON’T GO DOWN TO THEIR LEVEL, DON’T BE AS DARK AS THEM! ONLY LIGHT CAN CANCEL DARKNESS!!!”
“THEN YOU GO GET A FLASHLIGHT AND FIGHT THEM OFF! BUT I’M GONNA GO FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE, THE ONLY THING THAT CAN STOP THEM!!!”
THE PICTURE QUICKLY CUTS TO CITYSCAPE, AS THE WORDS:
WILL TAKE YOU
FLASHES ON THE SCREEN
SMASH CUT TO: WE SEE EXTREMELY FAST SHOTS OF SWORD FIGHTS, FISTFIGHTS, A BOAT SOARING THROUGH THE WATER.
“WHY WOULDN’T YOU LET ME IN?” Mary Jane says.
“You got in!” Peter yells.
“But look how!!!”
THE PICTURE QUICKLY CITYSCAPE, AS THE WORDS:
ON THE ULTIMATE
FLASHES ON THE SCREEN
Cut TO: Peter talking to Bruce:
“Goblin is out for blood this time!! They’re playing one big game, and we have to win!”
CUT TO BATMAN SCREAMING AT BANE ON A ROOFTOP
“BANE! WHO DO YOU WORK FOR!?”
“YOU’LL HAVE TO KILL ME BATMAN!!”
THE PICTURE QUICKLY CITYSCAPE, AS THE WORDS:
THRILL RIDE
FLASHES ON THE SCREEN
CUT TO: THE MUSIC CLIMAXES, WE SEE MORE FLASHES OF THE ACTION IN THE MOVIE:
WE SEE BATMAN FIGHTING BANE, THE BATMOBILE SOARING, SPIDERMAN SWINGING, SHOCKER SHOOTING BLAST WAVES AT BATMAN AND SPIDERMAN, BANE THROWS BATMAN THROUGH A WALL, SENDING HIM TUMBLING DOWN A STAIR CASE, SPIDERMAN SWINGS OVER THE BATMOBILE, GOBLIN FLIES ON HIS GLIDER, MISSILES SHOOT OUT FROM A HELICOPTER, BATMAN AND SPIDERMAN FIGHT OFF HENCHMEN, BATMAN SHOOTS HIS GRAPNEL, SPIDERMAN FIRES A WEB.WE THEN SEE DRAMATIC SHOTS OF THE GOTHAM CITYSCAPE, AND IT ALL CULMINATES INTO ONE FINAL TITLE SEQUENCE…
WE SEE SHORT CUT FLASHES OF Batman sliding on his gloves, as does Spiderman, we see both of them put on their masks, and both their symbols on screen.
IT GOES TO BLACK…
The music swells, being what turns out to be an outlandish, yet heartfelt and classy beat coming from the combination of Danny Elfman’s 1989 Batman Music, and his recent Spiderman music.
A BAT SYMBOL, AND A SPIDER SYMBOL STYLISHLY SMASH THROUGH THE BLACK SCREEN, AND THEY SETTLE IN THE CENTER. IT SPLITS SO IT IS HALF OF THE BAT SYMBOL, AND HALF OF THE SPIDER SYMBOL…
THEN THE WORDS UNFOLD FROM THE MIDDLE---
OVERVOICE:
“You’re insane…” Batman says.
We hear a mysterious voice…
“Well—yeah, but shhhhh… That’ll be our little secret…
---THE KNIGHT CRUSADE
The Picture Fades In: We see Peter Parker, talking to Alfred, surrounded by a large crowd.
“You know, I was looking.” Peter says. “If you cut your bath in half, you’d have my whole apartment.”
“We do have a rather large bathroom, sir.” Alfred says.
“No” Peter says. “I’m talking just about the bath—as in the tub.”
SMASH TO BLACK
NIGHT FALLS…
FALL… 2002…
