Batman Rising Darkness Part 3
By Vito_The_White
Montoya notices that there’s something wrong with Batman’s voice. He seems to be acting like he’s going to faint. She actually shows a little concern for this man.
MONTOYA
“Are you alright?”
BATMAN
“Yes, I’m fine.”
Montoya shakes her head and turns back to the body.
Robin and Batgirl stand off to the side with the Commissioner. They can both see that Batman is in a lot of pain. They don’t really know how to react to this however in front of the Commissioner and detective.
Suddenly another cop comes running around from a hallway. He looks very frightened for some reason.
COP 3
“We have another problem Commissioner.”
GORDON
“What else could’ve possibly happened?”
COP 3
“The guard at the end of the hall is
unconscious, and Two-Face has been
kidnapped sir.”
Robin suddenly looks away from Batman and Detective Montoya still examining Julie and looks directly at the cop. His mouth is wide open. Batgirl looks at Robin and then down at the ground. Robin looks at her and sees that she’s looking at the ground. He looks toward Batman again and sees that he’s staring right at him now standing.
Robin suddenly walks away from the crime scene. Batgirl looks toward Batman and then takes off after him. The Commissioner looks around confused, but then shrugs and turns to the cop and they both take off down the corridor. Batman looks back down at Julie one last time and then turns to Detective Montoya.
BATMAN
“I’m afraid that we’ll have to have
that interrogation some other time.”
MONTOYA
“That’s fine. Just show up tomorrow
some time and we’ll do it then. I think
we’re going to be a bit swamp now anyway.”
Batman nods to her.
BATMAN
“Goodnight Detective.”
Batman leaves. Montoya bends down to Julie’s body again and starts examining it once more.
CUT TO:
107 INT. ABANDONED SUBWAY STATION- NIGHT 107
The Scarecrow and Harley Quinn come parading into their lair as happy as they could possibly be. They seemed to almost be drunk. Slowly walking behind them are the thugs.
Marsha and Killer Croc stare at the sight in amazement. Marsha though seems a little more disgusted by this.
MARSHA
“And just where the hell have you
Been, and who is this little clown
Slut?”
Harley seems to take offence to the remark and sticks her tongue out at Marsha and turns away. The Scarecrow walks over to Marsha and takes the mask off revealing the sincere Dr. Crane.
CRANE
“Darling, we were off having a little
Fun around Gotham picking up a few items
Here and there, and boy was it ever fun!”
Harley giggles from where she’s standing. Marsha turns and gives her an evil look.
MARSHA
“That doesn’t tell me who she is?”
CRANE
“That my dear is my cousin Dr. Harlene
Quinzelle. She’s is the daughter of my
Aunt Alisha Griffin and the crime lord
Jack Napier… Also known as the Clown Prince
Of Crime, The Joker.”
MARSHA
“Hmm… I’m not really buying it, but while
The two of you were off partying, Waylon
And I were off doing a little shopping.”
CRANE
“Oh really? And what did you buy?”
MARSHA
“That’s the fun part. We didn’t buy.
We stole… Or I guess I should say, that
We kidnapped.”
CRANE
“Kidnapped?”
Marsha smiles and uses her pointer finger as a means of telling him to follow her. He starts walking with her to the back holding cell that Killer Croc was always held in before now. Everyone is following the two as they walk toward the room.
CUT TO:
108 INT. HOLDING CELL- NIGHT 108
Everyone enters the cell that Killer Croc stayed in at one time. The room is filled with all kinds of scientific equipment, but at the far side of the room is what catches Dr. Crane’s attention.
At the back of the room is the same containment cage that Killer Croc was in during his first appearance. However, the cage now contains the crumpled form of Harvey Two-Face.
Dr. Crane smiles with delight and runs forward to the cell. He looks in it and starts laughing as he turns back to his wife.
CRANE
“What an excellent surprise darling.”
MARSHA
“I thought you’d like that dear.”
CRANE
“Let’s wake him. I’d like to have a few
Words with our district attorney.”
MARSHA
“There’s a problem with that.”
Crane turns around sighing. He looks at her sternly.
CRANE
“Let me guess, he’s been heavily sedated.”
MARSHA
“Correct.”
CRANE
“Well then, would you be so kind as to
Fetch your aunt?”
MARSHA
(Confused)
“How could my aunt be of any use?”
CRANE
“I’m sure she has some kind of potion or
Something that’ll wake him right?”
MARSHA
“Hmm… I bet you are right. Croc darling, go
get my aunt if you would.”
Killer Croc nods and walks out of the room. Harley takes the advantage of now being able to actually move in the doorway and walks over to where the cage is.
HARLEY
“Harvey Dent…”
CRANE
“Former patient of yours?”
HARLEY
“Well, no actually. I did see his holding
cell a few times before I left, but no I
never actually worked with him.”
CRANE
“Good, because the last thing we need is you
Going soft on this guy.”
HARLEY
“I wouldn’t dream of it.”
Suddenly everyone turns as they here the sound of screaming. Killer Croc comes back into the room carrying Aunt Hilda on his shoulders. Dr. Crane gets a good laugh out of this as Croc brings the old witch over to them and sets her down.
HILDA
“How dare you, you big ruffian! I have
Half a mind to turn you into a toad! Maybe
Then you’d be a full fledged reptile!”
Killer Croc becomes angered at this woman’s remark and gets ready to hit her when Marsha steps in.
MARSHA
“Thank you Croc darling. You can go back
To the door now.”
Killer Croc snarls at Aunt Hilda and then turns around and walks back over to where the thugs are standing.
Aunt Hilda walks over to Dr. Crane and stares into the cage at the man on the floor.
HILDA
“You sent that thing to come get me so
I could look at a man lying on the floor?”
CRANE
“Can the wise cracks Hilda. Can you wake him?
He’s heavily sedated.”
HILDA
“Well, I can do my best.”
Hilda opens her coat and pulls out several vials of some different colored chemicals. Out of the chemicals she picks out the one that’s colored green and puts the others away.
HILDA
“You might want to stand back boy. This
stuff can be pretty powerful.”
Crane moves back to stand between Harley and Marsha. Hilda moves close to the cage and then throws the vial into the cage. As it hits the floor of the cage, the vial explodes making the green mist surround the cage. Crane and the others continue to stand back as they watch the green cloud envelop the cage and some of the surrounding room.
Finally the cloud dissipates and everyone looks into the cage to see that the spell didn’t seem to work. Everyone looks at Aunt Hilda with anger.
HILDA
“Well, I never said that I could work
Miracles.”
Everyone turns away not really knowing what to do next. However, as soon as they do they hear a groaning sound. They all turn back with excitement as they see that Two-Face is stirring.
Two-Face stands up as everyone smiles delighted at what they seem to be accomplishing. He looks at all of the people around him in confusion.
HARVEY
“How are you people?”
CRANE
“Come now Mr. Dent. Surely you remember
You’re old pal Dr. Jonathon Crane.”
HARVEY
“Oh… You were that professor that was released
for teaching things that were worrying the board
at Gotham University.”
CRANE
“So good of you to remember me. You were after
all one of the people that ruined my life in
the first place!”
FACE
“That’s not my doing! Don’t you dare blame me
for what that weak fool did!”
CRANE
“Oh wonderful. I’m talking to Two-Face
Himself now. I have a little proposal
For you Mr. Face.”
HARVEY
“Don’t trust him Face!”
FACE
“Leave that to me to decide!”
HARVEY
“You can’t decide anything correctly!”
FACE
“Yes I can!”
HARVEY
“No you can’t!”
Dr. Crane sighs and pulls something small out of his pocket. He flashes it in front of Two-Face. He suddenly stops bickering with himself long enough to look at what Crane has in his hands. He looks completely mesmerized. The camera then zooms on Crane’s hand to reveal that he’s holding Two-Face’s old coin!”
FACE
“Our coin! Give it to us!”
CRANE
“Ah, not just yet. You tell me what
I need to know and I’ll consider it.”
FACE
“You give it to us now or we’ll blow your
head off!”
CRANE
(Laughing)
“With what? You’re locked up in a cell with
nothing in there to use as a weapon. And even
if you were to actually get out of there, in your
current state, you wouldn’t make it past my thugs.”
HARVEY
“Why are we so week. Why?”
CRANE
“The place that my wife took you from… Seriously
you don’t remember where you were before you
were brought here?”
HARVEY
“We were… we were in Arkham.”
CRANE
“I’m afraid that’s a wrong answer. You were
in the Gotham City Memorial Hospital. Do you
you know what they were trying to do to the
both of you?”
FACE
“What were they going to do to us?”
CRANE
“They were going to rid Harvey of you
face. That’s right. There would no longer
be a Two-Face. It would just be Harvey Dent.”
FACE
“We don’t believe you!”
Marsha hands her husband the same newspaper that she’d given him earlier. He shoved it in front of the cell for Two-Face to see. It had the same headline that was shown earlier.
CRANE
“They were going to make you weak again
Face. Do you really want that?”
FACE
“No we don’t!”
HARVEY
“Yes we do!”
CRANE
“Enough! As much as I’d love to hear your two
personalities bicker all day, I think that can
seriously wait till later. You’re case is with
me now Two-Face. Do you want your coin and your
life back, or should we just take you back to
the hospital and let the good doctors perform
their little experiments on you?”
FACE
“What do you want?”
CRANE
“That’s the spirit. I just want you to answer
one question for me Two-Face, and I know that
you can give me the answer that I’m looking for.
Hell, you’re probably the only villain alive to
This day that knows the answer.”
FACE
(Yelling)
“What’s the damn question?”
CRANE
(Smiling)
“Who is Batman?”
HARVEY
“What?”
CRANE
“You heard me. I want to know Batman’s secret
identity. Tell me what it is!”
HARVEY
“I don’t know.”
CRANE
“Now, why would you lie to me? You and I are
very similar in so many ways. We both want to
see the Bat dead don’t we!”
FACE
“Yes!”
HARVEY
“No!”
CRANE
“One of you had better tell me who Batman is
right now before I kill you myself!”
FACE
(Whispering)
“I want in on this.”
CRANE
“What? I’m sorry, I didn’t here you.”
FACE
“I want in on this! I’m a former crime
boss and you know that my help would be
valuable.”
CRANE
“You’re split personality has destroyed
any former Crime boss that was ever in
you.”
FACE
“Just give me my coin back and you’ll see
just how evil I can still be.”
CRANE
“I’ll consider it. Now, tell me who Batman
is!”
Two-Face stares into Crane’s eyes seeing the rage that seems to be coming from them. He suddenly feels really afraid of him.
CRANE
(Yelling)
“Are you insane! Stop staring into my
eyes you idiot! Do you want to in fear
for the rest of your life?”
Two-Face pulls his eyes away. He looks at the ground not really sure what to do, but then he looks up at Crane again and smiles.
FACE
“Flip my coin to decide it. Heads I
tell you, and tails I don’t.”
Dr. Crane then pulls up his Scarecrow mask and looks at it and then back at Two-Face.
CRANE
“How about this. I flip the coin
to see what happens to you if you
don’t give me the answer that I’m
wanting right now. Heads I scare the
shit out of you and show you what real
fear is like, or tails I have Dr. Jones
back there rip your head off!”
Two-Face looks past Dr. Crane seeing Killer Croc staring at him popping his knuckles. Two-Face smirks and then looks back to Crane.
FACE
“And you’ll really consider letting
me help? I have a little bird that I
have to seek revenge on.”
CRANE
(Showing irritation)
“I said I’d think about it!”
FACE
“Fine! Batman is Bruce Wayne!”
CRANE
(Laughing)
“The billionaire playboy? You must be
joking. Why would he be Batman?”
FACE
“He has plenty of fucking reasons! Let me
free and I’ll prove it to you!”
CRANE
“No. We’ll find out for ourselves.”
FACE
(Angered)
“Then give me my coin!”
CRANE
“I don’t have to do anything for you!
And to tell you the truth, I wasn’t planning
On giving it to you in the first place.”
FACE
“You need my help! I can tell you do! You
won’t get anywhere near Wayne Manor without
me! I’ve snuck in there before, and I can
do it again!”
CRANE
“I’m sure of that. The point is that I don’t
need you and I never did. You were the one that
truly ruined my life in the first place!”
Marsha and Harley look at each other confused. Neither of them seem to know what he’s talking about.
CRANE
(Cont.)
“You honestly don’t remember do you?”
Two-Face looks at him with confusion.
CRANE
(Cont.)
“Well, I’ll remind you then. Do
you remember a little boy that you
used to pick on when you were younger?
Someone that you used to call Ichabod
Crane. That was me! You were the one
that broke my leg all those years ago
in the park when I was sitting on the
swing just minding my own business!”
Two-Face is taken aback by this. He has no idea really of what to do or say.
HARVEY
“Look, I was a bully when I was younger,
I’ll admit, but I never meant to hurt you
Dr. Crane.”
CRANE
“Don’t you dare give my your bullshit!
I refuse to hear it. You will not ruin my
chances at fame by interfering in this grand
trek of my own!”
Dr. Crane moves away form the cell and over to the others.
MARSHA
“Oh hunny. I didn’t know. I’m so sorry.”
CRANE
“It’s alright darling. Aunt Hilda dear,
Can you watch him for us? We have a little
Meeting to get to with Mr. Wayne.”
Aunt Hilda nods, but doesn’t seem to really want to. Crane places the coin on a nearby table where Hilda is sitting. He then smiles at Two-Face and blows him a kiss as he starts laughing hysterically and takes his wife’s arm. They both start walking out with Harley, Croc, and the thugs all right behind.
Two-Face stares at Aunt Hilda from inside of the cage. He looks extremely weak as he looks at her. Hilda tries her best to look away from him, but she’s having a hard time not feeling sorry for the man.
Hilda then notices that Two-Face is no longer looking at her. He’s looking directly at the coin on the table near her. He looks like a little puppy dog with how his face seems as he tries his best to reach out for the coin with no success.
Two-Face then looks back up at Aunt Hilda and pleads with her.
HARVEY
“Please, give me the coin.”
HILDA
“I can’t.”
HARVEY
“You have to. It’ll kill us if you
don’t.”
HILDA
“I must not. They are my family and
I can’t go against family.”
Two-Face suddenly becomes enraged.
FACE
“Do you not have any morals woman?
Help me!”
Aunt Hilda is shocked at the way that Two-Face is now talking to her. She almost seems to jump out of her skin at the sound of his voice.
HILDA
“Yelling will get you nowhere young
Man.”
FACE
“Not doing what I tell you to do will
get you in the grave a lot faster you
old hag!”
Aunt Hilda’s mouth opens wide, not believing what just came out of his mouth.
HILDA
“Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?”
FACE
“My mother’s dead bitch. Would you like to
meet her?”
Aunt Hilda pulls out her vials again and looks through them.
FACE
(Cont.)
“What are you doing?”
HILDA
“I’m going to shut you up, and
then I’m going to rid you of the
pain that you’ve been put through
all your life.”
FACE
(Terrified)
“What are you talking about? Stay away
from me!”
Aunt Hilda brings over a red vial and then throws it into the cell. The scene fades on Hilda looking on laughing evilly as a red cloud envelopes the screen.
CUT TO:
108 INT. BATCAVE- COMPUTER STATION- NIGHT 108
Bruce sits at the computer console with Barbara standing right beside him. They are looking directly at the computer, which is displaying a news article on a Veterinarian named Marsha Crane.
BRUCE
“Dr. Marsha Crane was a well known
Veterinarian at the Gotham City Animal
Clinic several years ago right before
Her husband was fired from the University.
After he was fired and committed the murders
she fled Gotham with him.”
BARBARA
“Why would she leave if she had nothing
to do with the murders that her husband
committed?”
BRUCE
“The articles don’t really say, but my
hunch would be that it was because she
wanted to help him get back on top wherever
they were to go next. I’ve checked into robberies
that have been committed in other parts of
the country, mainly dealing with diamond
hists, and I’ve come up with a good twenty-two
so far.”
BARBARA
“Did the Crane’s have any children?”
BRUCE
“I’ve been searching for that for quite
awhile now, and the computer hasn’t come
up with anything.”
BARBARA
“Then perhaps we should search harder.”
Barbara reaches over Bruce and starts typing.
BRUCE
“What are you…”
Before Bruce can finish, he stops and stares at the screen seeing files for hospital records at the Gotham Memorial.
BRUCE
(Cont. shocked)
“How did you do that? I still
to this day haven’t figured out
how to get into private hospital
records.”
BARBARA
“You forget who you’re talking to.”
Bruce smiles as they look through the files. Barbara continues to type while standing. Bruce gets up.
BRUCE
“Here. You need the chair more then
I do.”
BARBARA
(Smiling)
“Thanks.”
Barbara sits down and gets comfortable as she continues to type. Bruce paces around behind her until he finally hears a beep.
BARBARA
“Gotcha!”
Bruce walks back over.
BRUCE
“What did you find?”
BARBARA
“They didn’t actually have kids, but
here’s the interesting part.”
BRUCE
“What?”
BARBARA
“They were fully capable of having them.
It doesn’t make sense.”
BRUCE
“Well, there’s plenty of ways to make sense
out of it. They simply chose not to have kids.”
BARABARA
(Looking up at
Bruce)
“No, you’re not understanding. Instead of
having kids, they adopted kids.”
Bruce leans down to look at the screen closer. Sure enough there are adoption papers listed on the file for the Crane’s.
BARBARA
(Cont.)
“Apparently it’s an adoption service for
people that want to adopt children from
Puerto Rico. The Puerto Rican Exchange.”
Bruce suddenly looks shocked as he hears what Barbara has just said.
BRUCE
“Oh my God.”
BARBARA
“What? What’s wrong?”
BRUCE
“The Puerto Rican Exchange is a branch
of a large child smuggling operation
that takes kids from foreign countries
away from their homes and gives them to
United States families… The bad thing is
That most of the time, it’s child abusers
Taking boys as their own play toys.”
BARBARA
“Oh my God. That’s just disgusting.”
BRUCE
“A branch of the New York police were able
to infiltrate and stop the groups working
throughout New York, but there are still
hundreds all over the world.”
BARBARA
“Why would the Crane’s want to adopt children
from that kind of scum? Is it another angle
in their plans?”
BRUCE
“No. I think for the most part, they actually
did want to adopt children. They just chose
the wrong organization to adopt from.”
BARBARA
“But that’s still escaping the fact that the
Crane’s are perfectly healthy and able to
Have their own kids.”
BRUCE
“I know…”
BARBARA
“Do you know anything on their two accomplices?”
BRUCE
“I still have no idea on who the clown woman
is. However, Killer Croc’s real name is Dr.
Waylon Jones.”
BARBARA
“That creature is a doctor?”
BRUCE
“He studied on internet courses. Before
that he worked as a helper with the circus,
and then he was a professional wrestler for
several years, until he started eating his
competition. He was about to be found as the
propitiator when he was kidnapped. Obviously
it was our friends the Cranes that kidnapped
him.”
BARBARA
“What about family?”
BRUCE
“His parents in Florida didn’t want
anything to do with him when he was
born. They threw him out and haven’t
seen him sense.”
BARBARA
“How can someone be born like that?”
BRUCE
“I don’t know. Listen, you really should
go get some sleep. Conserve your strength.”
BARBARA
(Smiling)
“Alright, but you should get some rest
too ya know? This team isn’t complete
without their leader.”
BRUCE
“I know. I’ll just shut down the systems
And then I’ll go on to bed.”
Barbara walks toward the stairs to leave the Batcave. As she’s walking, a figure steps out from behind one of the large cabinets and looks in the direction of Barbara to make sure that she’s left. He then turns back toward Bruce and comes out of the shadows revealing himself to be Dick.
Bruce finishes shutting down the Batcomputer and turns to go toward the steps, but stops suddenly when he sees Dick. They both stare at each other for several long seconds.
DICK
“Why didn’t you…”
BRUCE
“Listen, why don’t we go upstairs
where we can talk about this in a
warmer place?”
DICK
(Sighing)
“Fine.”
Dick starts walking toward the stairs as Bruce follows him.
CUT TO:
109 INT. CAR- NIGHT 109
The camera shows Dr. Chase Meridian sitting in her car weaving through the traffic while talking on her cell phone.
CHASE
“… Look Rob, I’m sorry, but I
really don’t have time for this.
I have to go!… I’m sorry to hear
that, but I’ll be back in a few
days… There are no exceptions to
it Rob. I have something big that
I have to tend to… Yes, it’s more
important then what’s still waiting
for me at Cambridge… Well, my patients
will have to wait. I’m sure they’ll
understand… Look, this isn’t up for
discussion. I’m not going to be back
until I’m good and ready to come back…
I know Rob… I know… Just stay calm alright.
You guys can survive a few days more days
Without me. Rob, there’s someone on the
Other line waiting for me to end this
conversation, so I’ll get back to you.
Bye Rob… Bye Rob…”
Chase sighs and just turns the phone off. As she does her phone suddenly starts ringing. Chase jumps a little, and almost losses control of the car because of it, but is able to stabilize herself and answers the phone.
CHASE
(Cont.)
“Dr. Meridian, how may I help you?… Oh,
good Commissioner, I was about to call
you… What? Are you serious? Alright. Don’t
worry about it. I was thinking about going
to see Bruce anyway… Don’t mention it.
Goodnight.”
Chase hangs up the phone and throws it into the seat.
CUT TO:
110 EXT. STREET- NIGHT 110
Chase turns her car around and starts off in a different direction.
CUT TO:
111 INT. PARLOUR- NIGHT 111
Bruce and Dick sit on the couch next to the fire. They both seem really silent.
DICK
“Why didn’t you tell me about
Harvey?”
BRUCE
“Because I didn’t know what you
might’ve done if you knew that he
was still alive.”
DICK
“What are you talking about?”
BRUCE
“Do you remember when he feel off
That pillar that he was standing on?
I did that for you. I knew that if I
Took care of him that you wouldn’t end
Up going through all of the pain that
I have had to live with all of my life.”
DICK
“It all goes back to the trust Bruce.
You still don’t trust me. If you really
Trusted me, you would’ve told me. Yet,
You still refuse to tell me everything.”
BRUCE
“And what you don’t get is that being a
team is something more then telling
everything. Sometimes, you have to hold
things back to keep from hurting your team
even more. You wouldn’t be thinking of the
job if you’d known that Harvey was still
alive. We probably wouldn’t still be a team
today. You might’ve even gotten killed. I
knew that I had to wait to tell you until
after the surgery. Only then could you truly
get over the way you feel about him.”
DICK
“That monster killed my parents and brother,
And yet, he’s going to get a second chance
At living his normal life again. Tell me
Something, did my family ever get a second
Chance? No! Their lives were taken away from
Me, and he doesn’t deserve another chance
Either!”
Dick jumps up and leaves the couch. Bruce tries to plead with him, but can’t really find the right words to say. Dick walks toward the exit to the parlour, and as he does, Alfred comes in the room carrying a tray with cookies, a couple of glasses, and a picture of tea.
ALFRED
“Master Grayson…”
Dick looks back toward Bruce with scorn in his face.
DICK
“Goodnight Al’.”
Dick walks out of the room and goes up the stairs. Alfred walks into the room and sets the tray down on a nearby table.
ALFRED
“I take it that things didn’t go
as well as we’d hoped.”
BRUCE
“You’re correct again old friend.”
ALFRED
“Do not worry. I’m sure that he’ll
eventually come around Master Bruce.
Right now though, you should be worrying
About your own self. How are you holding
Up about Julie?”
BRUCE
“I don’t really know Alfred. It’s so
unbelievable to me. I just don’t really
know what to think about it at all.”
ALFRED
“That’s quite understandable sir. She will
be missed.”
BRUCE
“Yes… She sure will.”
Suddenly the two men hear the doorbell. They both stare at each other confused.
BRUCE
“Who’d be here at this hour?”
ALFRED
“Don’t worry sir. I’ll get it.”
BRUCE
“I’ll come with you Alfred.”
Bruce gets up from the couch and joins Alfred as they both walk toward the door.
CUT TO:
112 INT. MAIN ENTRANCE- NIGHT 112
Alfred opens the little peephole in the door and sees immediately that it’s Dr. Chase Meridian.
ALFRED
“It’s Dr. Meridian sir.”
Bruce nods as Alfred opens the door to let the lady in.
BRUCE
“Chase, what are you doing here
so late?”
Suddenly Chase is pushed inside the door and right into Bruce as they both fall to the ground. Alfred goes over to them to help them up, but stops when he hears an evil laughter. He looks up to see The Scarecrow come waltzing into the house.
SCARECROW
“Marry Christmas!”
Bruce helps Chase to her feet as he readies himself for an attack.
BRUCE
“Your Christmases are far from
Marry.”
SCARECROW
“Oh come now Batman, don’t be such
a Scrooge.”
Suddenly from behind him comes Marsha Queen of Diamonds wearing a beautiful fur coat and as always a lot of diamonds. Marsha and The Scarecrow move out of the way of the doorway as Harley Quinn comes flipping inside the door and lands in front of Bruce, Chase, and Alfred. She then lands a small kiss on Alfred’s cheek and smiles.
HARLEY
“Hi ya Gramps!”
Killer Croc and the thugs all make their way into the mansion last.
SCARCROW
“Well, now that we’re all here,
let’s end this.”
The Scarecrow walks past the three heroes and toward the parlour.
SCARECROW
“Step into my parlour said The
Scarecrow to the trapped bat.”
CUT TO:
113 INT. PARLOUR- NIGHT 113
Bruce, Chase, and Alfred start walking into the room and sit down on the couch. Marsha looks down at the tray that Alfred had brought into the room only minutes ago.
MARSHA
“Oh, how thoughtful of you. You
Brought us snacks. They must’ve
Been expecting us.”
Marsha picks up a cookie and begins seductively eating it.
MARSHA
“Delicious.”
Alfred looks up at Marsha with disgust showing on his face.
ALFRED
(Showing distain)
“Thank you.”
MARSHA
“Oh, come now grandpa. You should
try to enjoy yourself. This could
very well be the last party that
you ever attend.”
Alfred looks down at the floor.
BRUCE
“Leave them out of this. They have
nothing to do with what’s going on
here.”
SCARECROW
“Oh, but they have plenty to do with
this Mr. Wayne. I have no reason to
let either of them leave.”
BRUCE
“You’ll never get away with this
Scarecrow. Justice will prevail.
You and your wife will go to jail
For so many reasons you’ll wish that
You weren’t alive.”
SCARCROW
(Laughing)
“You have nothing on us that would ever
make that happen Batman.”
BRUCE
“What about the kids that you adopted from
the most notorious child exchange in the
world?”
The Scarecrow looks toward Marsha. He looks a little worried.
SCARECROW
“Well, aren’t we the perfect detective.
However, unlike all of those dirty old
Bastards, we didn’t treat those children
Like they’re supposed to be. We treated
Them like family, and we have twenty some
Good witnesses from the places we used to
Live that can vouch for that.”
BRUCE
“None the less, you’re going to jail for
a very long time.”
Marsha frowns and looks a little frightened, but she then looks at Chase and smiles evilly.
MARSHA
“Harley darling, I think that there
are one too many women at this little
party. What do you think?”
HARLEY
“Oh, absolutely.”
Marsha pulls her gun up toward Chase’s face as Harley leans over her shoulder smiling gleefully. The Scarecrow however walks over to them and pulls Marsha’s gun down to her side. Marsha looks at him sadly.
SCARECROW
“That will be fine in due time my
dear, but for now I think we should
concentrate on the fact that we’re
missing two of our guests.”
The Scarecrow walks over to Bruce and grabs the man’s chin lifting his face to look into The Scarecrow’s. Bruce does his best to keep from making eye contact with the madman in front of him.
SCARECROW
“Oh, don’t worry Brucy. We already
played that game. I’m ready to get
to the real plan with you now. But
first, you must tell me something.
Where are your little kiddy comrades?”
Suddenly, after The Scarecrow finishes that thought, the thugs at the entrance to the parlour are attacked from behind. They all fall easily from the unexpected attack. Everyone looks in the direction of the parlour’s entrance to see Dick and Barbara standing there in karate posses ready to fight.
The Scarecrow laughs wickedly.
SCARECROW
“Let the final scare commence!”
The rest of the thugs all take off toward Dick and Barbara being lead by Harley as they begin their attack on the two heroes. Dick does his best to block an attack from one of the thugs and then slams him in the gut with a powerful punch.
Barbara summersaults over one of the thugs and comes face to face with Harley Quinn. She smiles at Barbara and makes a little pose of her own.
HARLEY
“Batgirl I presume?”
BARBARA
“How observant clown girl.”
Harley becomes enraged and charges toward Barbara spin kicker the woman out of the parlour and into the lobby.
CUT TO:
114 INT. MAIN ENTRANCE- NIGHT 114
Harley smiles and follows after her. However, Barbara jumps up and then punches Harley square in the mouth. Harley frowns.
HARLEY
“Oh! That hurt!”
BARBARA
“Well, you’re about to have more
pain then that.”
CUT TO:
115 INT. PARLOUR- NIGHT 115
Bruce looks up to see that The Scarecrow has diverted all of his attention toward Dick and his battling of the thugs. Bruce takes this opportunity and kicks The Scarecrow in the groin. He screams out in pain and falls to the ground. Bruce jumps up and starts over to where Dick is to help him, but he suddenly runs into grey skin as he looks up to see Killer Croc staring down at him.
CROC
“It’s time to die Batman.”
BRUCE
“You killed my girlfriend, and
now, you’re going to pay.”
CROC
“That’s quite hilarious. I can’t
wait to see you try.”
BRUCE
“You won’t have to wait long!”
Bruce begins to punch and kick at Killer Croc with all of his might. All he seems to be doing however is just making Croc walk backwards a little bit. Croc finally laughs and grabs Bruce with his large hands and lifts him up into the air.
Chase jumps up out of her chair and spheres Marsha to the ground. They both roll around on the ground there for a few seconds before Chase gets control of the situation and gets up off the floor and begins to pick Marsha up by her hair. Marsha screams from the pain of her hair being pulled by the roots.
CHASE
“You picked the wrong woman to mess
with bitch!”
Chase then punches Marsha square in the mouth sending her sprawling out on the floor.
Alfred slowly gets up from the couch and moves over to the fireplace and picks up the poker. He turns to start off away from the fireplace only to be standing right face to face with The Scarecrow. The Scarecrow laughs at the old man insanely as Alfred backs up from him. The Scarecrow however advances on him trying to get close enough to him to use his fear abilities.
Alfred continues to back away keeping the poker behind him the whole time. It’s obvious that The Scarecrow didn’t see Alfred pick it up.
SCARECROW
“It’s time that you found out what
what your worst fears are old timer.”
Alfred stops in his tracks trying his best to fake the fear on his face. The Scarecrow laughs hysterically as he nears Alfred. Finally Alfred sees the perfect opportunity to strike and smiles. The Scarecrow stops in his tracks seeing the old man smile. Alfred brings up the poker and wacks The Scarecrow square in the face with it and watches as the villain falls to the ground once again.
Alfred smiles again triumphantly and turns to try to get through the parlour.
Dick continues to fight the unending number of thugs, as they just seem to keep coming. Dick sidekicks one of the thugs directly into a potted plant at the side of the room as the thug sprawls out on the ground. Dick then simultaneously circle kicks two of the thugs square in the jaw as they fall backwards.
Dick then looks over to see what is happening to Bruce. He is still being held up high with both of Croc’s arms. Dick runs in the direction of the two and clotheslines a single thug on his way over there as he jump kicks Killer Croc in the spine. However, the monster doesn’t seem to feel the kick hardly at all.
Killer Croc rolls his eyes and throws Bruce directly into the wall right in front of him. He turns toward Dick only to be caught directly in the jaw by a right hand. He is then hit with another and another still. Finally Dick looks up to the ceiling seeing the chandelier and jumps up grabbing a hold of it as he raps his legs around Killer Croc’s neck. Croc tries to pull the boy off of him, but is unable to do so because of how hard Dick is holding onto the chandelier.
Dick then lets lose of the chandelier and tries his best to throw Killer Croc over his shoulders in an attempt at a hurricarana. However, Croc just laughs and grabs hold of Dicks body and flings him half way across the room and right smack into the couch as he hits the ground with a thud.
Killer Croc turns back around toward where he threw Bruce only to see to his surprise that the man is no longer laying there. He looks all around the room only to see that Bruce is running out of the parlour. Killer Croc roars and takes off after him.
The Scarecrow gets up from his daze and looks around trying to figure out what happened to him. He sees Dick laying on the floor as well as several of his thugs. Alfred is fighting off several thugs that keep coming after him with the same poker that he had knocked The Scarecrow out with. The Scarecrow growls at Alfred and gets ready to get up to go after him when he looks over to see Killer Croc leaving the parlour going after Bruce.
The Scarecrow gets up and runs after Killer Croc.
CUT TO:
116 INT. LOBBY- NIGHT 116
Harley and Barbara continue to fight at the front door of the mansion, while on the other end Chase and Marsha are fighting.
Harley giggles and pulls out a large gun with a boxer’s glove on it. She then fires it right in Barbara’s face sending her flying into a nearby table collapsing it instantly.
Harley turns suddenly to see Bruce running toward a door farther in the hallway of the lobby. She watches him open it with his key as he goes running in. Killer Croc runs out of the parlour and goes running for where Bruce is going. He makes it to the door a bit too late however as the door shuts and locks immediately.
Killer Croc becomes enraged and fires his fists into the door smashing it instantly. Harley laughs wickedly as Killer Croc runs in after him.
The Scarecrow runs into the lobby.
SCARECROW
“Come on dear. This is your chance
for revenge.”
HARLEY
“Just what I was thinking. I don’t
think she’ll be bothering us.”
SCARECROW
“I’ll have the thugs pull themselves
Together and get the prisoners round
Up and be along in a few.”
HARLEY
(Starting to
walk away)
“Take your time Mr. S.”
Harley skips toward the door that Killer Croc smashed moments before. The Scarecrow starts to run back toward the lounge, but to his dismay is once again met with the poker from Alfred.
ALFRED
“This time, stay down.”
Alfred sighs and walks off toward a nearby room, obviously going to call the police.
CUT TO:
117 INT. KITCHEN- NIGHT 117
Chase and Marsha come rampaging into the kitchen at each other’s throats. Chase seems to have the upper hand as she is able to push Marsha into a nearby counter. However, this wasn’t a good thing as Marsha is able to reach for a knife in the knife block. However Marsha’s mistake is being too loud as Chase knows that she’s pulled a knife out. Chase sees the knife coming from behind Marsha’s back as she tries her best to stab Chase. Chase however grabs a hold of the hand that Marsha has the knife in and they both start struggling over the knife as they seem to be dancing through the kitchen.
Chase sees several pans hanging from the rack connected to the ceiling in the middle of the kitchen. She grabs the nearest one and hits Marsha square in the head with it.
Marsha hits the floor and looks back up at Chase with rage in her eyes.
MARSHA
“You’ll pay!”
Marsha jumps up with the knife still in her hands and tries her best to slash at Chase with it. However Chase ducks out of the way and runs past her toward the nearby staircase and starts running up it.
Marsha laughs evilly and runs after her.
CUT TO:
118 INT. UPPER HALL- NIGHT 118
Chase runs through the upstairs hallway trying to figure out what to do. However she turns when she hears screaming as she sees to her horror that Marsha is running straight for her with the knife raised above her head.
Chase continues to run as fast as she can possibly go. She stops when she sees a potted plant, and she throws it directly at Marsha. However Marsha moves out of the way as the plant hits near her on the floor.
Chase runs over to a table and starts picking up things on the table and throwing them. They consist of a picture frame, flower vase with flowers and water, a glass with pens, and a few books. She then moves the table out from the wall and moves it into the middle of the hallway as Marsha catches up to her gets ready to just jump over the table, but at the last second, Chase pushes the table a little farther toward her causing Marsha to under step the jumping distance and she trips on the table and rolls all the way off of it and lands with a terrible thump on the floor.
Chase continues to run away from Marsha, but thinks better of it as she stops and turns around looking at the unconscious form of Marsha Queen of Diamonds.
CUT TO:
119 INT. BATCAVE- NIGHT 119
Bruce runs down the steps to the Batcave and starts off toward the vault where the costumes are. Killer Croc isn’t far behind him as he roars seeing Bruce going toward the vault. Croc runs toward Bruce, but is too late as Bruce makes it to the vault and goes in shutting the door.
Killer Croc starts banging on the vault door, but the door is very strong and not easily broken down, however he still continues to try his hardest.
CROC
“You can’t hid in there forever
coward! I’ll get to you very soon.”
Killer Croc reels his right arm back and fires a very powerful fist right at the door opening it instantly, however, it isn’t Croc’s right hook that caused the door to open as Killer Croc goes flying into the vault.
CUT TO:
120 INT. VAULT- NIGHT 120
Killer Croc goes flying to the other side of the vault and hits the wall of Batman suits. He looks back toward the door to see Batman standing there before him.
CROC
“So, you now hide behind your
costume.”
BATMAN
“No, I stand behind my symbol.”
CROC
“You’re going to die you winged
rat!”
Killer Croc runs for Batman, but he suddenly pulls out a batbomb and throws it at Killer Croc. Batman runs out of the vault as the batbomb goes off causes a huge explosion to envelope inside the room. Some of the explosion leaves the room and shows the blast through the Batcave.
CUT TO:
121 INT. BATCAVE- NIGHT 121
Batman watches as the vault is destroyed… for the second time. He sighs and turns to go back upstairs to help when he is suddenly kicked in the face by a red boot. He goes flying to the ground and turns to see whom his attacker was. Harley Quinn stands before him grinning evilly.
Batman gets up and starts walking away from Harley. They both start out on a small stone made catwalk. There isn’t much room for moving around.
The Scarecrow comes walking down the steps with his right hand over his head as he winces in pain from the second attack of the poker. He laughs at what’s unfolding none the less.
BATMAN
“You don’t have to do this Harley.
You have no reason to spill blood
Here. I’m sure you’re a normal and
Very nice girl inside.”
HARLEY
“Yes, I was, but you took all of that
away from me.”
BATMAN
“How did I do that?”
HARLEY
“You don’t know how! That’s pathetic
Bruce! You were the man that killed my
Father! Jack Napier!”
Batman stands there emotionless. He can’t believe what he’s just heard.
BATMAN
“Who are you?”
Harley pulls off her mask to reveal Harlene.
BATMAN
(Cont.)
“Dr. Quinzelle? You killed Dr. Burton
didn’t you?”
DR. QUINZELLE
“Very good Bats. You’re a pretty smart
fellow after all.”
Dr. Quinzelle puts the mask back on.
HARLEY
“And if you must know, my mother
was…”
BATMAN
“Alisha Griffin. Dr. Crane’s aunt.”
HARLEY
(Smiling)
“Correct. You know, you may not be
directly responsible for her death
but in a way it is your fault because
of what you did to my father, making
him The Joker.”
BATMAN
“And now you’re following in his foot
steps.”
HARLEY
“That’s only to kill you. I’m retiring
once this is all over and I intend to
end it now!”
Harley brings out a revolver and steadies it to fire.
BATMAN
“Please Harlene, don’t do this.”
HARLEY
“There’s no turning back!”
Harley fires the revolver, but instead of a bullet, there is a little bang sound. Harley looks surprised. She smiles a little embaraced.
HARLEY
(Cont.)
“Guess I left the real gun in my
other costume. Ha ha.”
The Scarecrow stands there shaking his head at what he’s just saw.
SCARECROW
(Whispering)
“Idiot.”
Suddenly The Scarecrow is hit with something swiping him to the ground. He looks up to see a black blur run past him. The Scarecrow starts to get to his feet, but is having a difficult time because of how disoriented he is.
Harley and Batman continue to stare one another down when suddenly the dark figure runs up and kicks Harley directly in the back of her neck. Harley screams and falls to the ground in pain. She looks back up at the sight before her.
Batman stares on in utter shock at who’s standing before him.
The camera starts at the bottom of a pair of black high-healed boots and then makes its way up the black vinyl suit all the way up to the face of THE CATWOMAN.
Harley jumps to her feet in shock.
HARLEY
“Catwoman! What the hell is going
On here?”
CATWOMAN
“A lot more then there should be.”
The Catwoman takes her whip from behind her back and attacks Harley with it grabbing hold of her left ankle with it and causes Harley to be tripped up and fall screaming over the side of the catwalk. Catwoman holds on with all of her strength as she tries to keep Harley from plummeting to her doom.
Batman suddenly takes hold of Catwoman’s hand and helps to hold Harley up.
BATMAN
“Selina?”
CATWOMAN
“In the flesh.”
BATMAN
“Oh my God. I thought you were
dead.”
CATWOMAN
(Laughing)
“Don’t be silly Bruce. You know
that I still had one life left.”
Batman smiles and embraces the woman that he once loved.
Suddenly Killer Croc comes running out of the vault charred and bleeding heavily. He runs directly for the couple of heroes. The Scarecrow smiles evilly as he watches on from his location at the stairs.
Batman suddenly looks up from the embrace to see Killer Croc running right toward them head on. Batman lifts Catwoman gently and moves her to the other side of him helping to keep hold of Harley hanging below while she still screams.
Croc’s impact into Batman however is a lot more forceful then he’d thought as Croc rams right into not only Batman but also in the process knocks the two of them back into Catwoman. All three of them topple over the side of the catwalk.
Batman thinks quickly as he pulls out a multi Batarang and begins firing everywhere. He fires one upward back to the catwalk and another one down toward Killer Croc who’s falling faster then the others. Both Batarangs are successful as the one holding on the catwalk starts to go upward.
CATWOMAN
“I’d hate to spoil your fun
Bruce darling, but that one
Batarang isn’t going to hold
All of us for long.”
Batman nods and fires another Batarang handing it over to The Catwoman. She grabs a hold of it with one hand and continues to hold on to Harley in the whip with the other.
They all find it much easier to continue to go up, but not by much. Killer Croc is swinging himself around everywhere making it all very difficult.
BATMAN
“I’m not going to be able to hold
his weight much longer if he keeps
that up.”
CATWOMAN
“Well, from the looks of him, I don’t
think he really cares. You wouldn’t
happen to have another Batarang in there
would you?”
BATMAN
“Afraid not.”
The Batarangs suddenly stop as they all realize that they’ve reached the catwalk. Batman starts to move himself up to the top of the catwalk, but suddenly feels his hand get stepped on heavily. Batman winces and removes his hand.
Batman looks up to see The Scarecrow staring down at all four of them laughing evilly.
Catwoman pulls Harley up to her and takes her right arm around her shoulder.
HARLEY
“Let me go!”
CATWOMAN
“I don’t think you really want
that.”
HARLEY
“Let go of me now!”
Catwoman then punches Harley and she goes limp in her arms.
BATMAN
“That was some punch.”
CATWOMAN
“Billy Blanks.”
SCARECROW
“If you two love birds are quite
finished, I’d like to finish this
lovely party by ending your lives!”
VOICE
(O.S.)
“I don’t think that would be a wise
thing Dr. Crane.”
The Scarecrow looks over a ways and sees Chase Meridian carrying his wife Marsha in her arms and a gun at her head. The Scarecrow takes his mask off and looks at them in horror.
CRANE
“Marsha! You murdering bitch!”
CHASE
“She’s not dead, but she’s badly
hurt. You have to stop this!”
CRANE
“And if I refuse?”
CHASE
“That’s simple. If you cause them to
fall, then I push your wife over as
well.”
Dr. Crane looks past his wife and Chase to see that Dick and Barbara are standing at the same stairs that he was standing at only minutes before. With them they hold his thugs at gunpoint.
CHASE
(Cont.)
“You’ve lost Scarecrow.”
CRANE
“And what are you going to do
after you send my wife sailing
to her doom? Given that she’ll
be dead along with the Bat, his
pussy cat, my cousin, and Croc,
but have you thought of yourself?”
Dr. Crane pulls out a gun and points it directly at her.
CRANE
“Yes, you have a gun too, but which
of us will be quick enough? That’s
what you should ask yourself. Are you
willing to risk your own life like that
my dear Dr. Meridian.”
Batman is still struggling with Croc down below him. He’s having a very hard time now keeping the Batarang that’s holding him from snapping. Batman however, is more concerned with something else at the moment. He pulls something out of his belt. It’s a small can of some sort of spray.
CATWOMAN
“Hunny, I don’t think now’s the time
to be spray painting the cave. I mean
I know that it could use some color, but…”
Batman shushes her.
BATMAN
“This is what’s going to save our lives.”
Chase seems a little confused as to what to do now as she still holds Marsha sternly.
CHASE
“Don’t do this Dr. Crane. It isn’t
worth it.”
CRANE
“Oh, but that’s where you’re wrong.
This means everything to my wife and
I both. You will soon see what it’s like
To lose people that you love!”
Dr. Crane pulls the gun down toward Batman and gets ready to fire, but Batman is quicker as he pulls up the spray can and fires away hitting Crane directly in the eyes with the odd red mixture. Crane screams and falls backwards onto the catwalk.
Batman begins to start trying to pull himself and Killer Croc up, but suddenly because of all the squirming around that Croc was doing, the Batarang’s hold is lost as Killer Croc goes flying down into the darkness below screaming madly.
Batman can’t believe what has just happened. However, Catwoman puts a comforting arm on his shoulder.
CATWOMAN
“It was his choice. He didn’t
want to be caught. He chose to
die. You couldn’t change that.”
Batman nods briefly and then starts to climb back up to the catwalk. However, as he’s going, he suddenly sees a hand reaching out for him. It’s Chase Meridian’s hand, and beyond that hand is a smiling face.
Batman takes the hand and is helped to his feet. They both then help Catwoman and Harley out of their hanging doom. They all look over to Dr. Crane. There is sweat pouring down his face as he tries to slowly crawl away from them.
CATWOMAN
“What did you do to him?”
BATMAN
“I found a way to count his
blockers that was keeping him
from the effects of his own
poisons. Now he feels like
all of his prey have felt
before him.”
Alfred walks down the steps to join everyone.
ALFRED
“I took the liberty of calling
the pol… Ms. Kyle?”
Catwoman takes her Catwoman mask off to reveal the beautiful face of Selina Kyle.
SELINA
“Hello Alfred.”
BATMAN
“Thank you for calling the
police Alfred. We’ll round
everyone up and be right there.”
Dick and Barbara walk forward.
BARBARA
“Don’t you two think that you should
get out of your costumes?”
SELINA
“The girl’s right.”
BATMAN
“Can you three deal with the
suspects?”
BARBARA
(Smiling)
“I think so. Come on Dick.”
Dick starts to follow her, but then turns back to Batman.
DICK
“Look Bruce, I’m sorry about
what happened earlier.”
BATMAN
“It’s alright Dick.”
Dick smiled and started to help Chase and Barbara deal with Dr. Crane and the rest of his gang.
Batman and Selina walk into toward the vault.
CUT TO:
122 INT. VAULT- NIGHT 122
Batman and Selina enter the destroyed vault.
BATMAN
“Guess I forgot that I just destroyed
This room.”
Selina laughs.
SELINA
“Well, at least it gives us a chance
To be alone.”
Selina amazingly claims Batman’s lips as they share in a romantic kiss. Batman suddenly breaks it and stares into her eyes.
BATMAN
“But I thought that you couldn’t live
with yourself if you tried to live
your life like a fairy tale.”
SELINA
(Smiling)
“I changed my mind I guess. I love
you Bruce. I want to spend the rest
of my life with you.”
BATMAN
“But Selina…”
SELINA
“Shhh! Don’t talk. Just enjoy the
Moment.”
Once again the two start kissing.
CUT TO:
123 INT. ENTRANCE FOYER- NIGHT 123
There are several officers escorting all of the villains out of Wayne Manor. Two of them bring Dr. Crane past as he’s yelling and screaming.
CRANE
“No! Leave me alone! Don’t hurt
Me! Please stop!”
Bruce and Commissioner Gordon come walking out of the parlour and shake hands.
GORDON
“Well, looks like we’ve got them
all accounted for with the exception
of one.”
BRUCE
“Oh, Killer Croc Morgan right?”
Gordon nods.
BRUCE
“Well, you know that the gardens
in the backyard are a death trap
from hell right?”
GORDON
“I do seem to recall something
about that.”
BRUCE
“Well, Batman and Killer Croc
were apparently fighting out in
the gardens, and Croc sadly feel
through one of the many holes back
there. It’s a horrible lose.”
GORDON
“Indeed. Good thing the Terrific
Trio came when they did.”
Gordon then looks at Dick and Barbara as they enter the room followed closely by Alfred, Chase, and Selina.
GORDON
(Cont.)
“Well, it looks to me like you all
had a very fun filled evening… even
though fun filled probably isn’t the
right word, but still.”
Suddenly someone comes walking into the door being escorted by several police officers. He isn’t scene on camera yet, but the audience can already tell who it is. Bruce hears the voice and turns around immediately.
Coming through the doorway is HARVEY DENT! He’s been completely cured of Two-Face. Everyone walks over surprised, except for Dick who stands off to the side not knowing what to say.
Bruce goes over and hugs the man.
BRUCE
(Almost in
tears)
“It’s so good to see you Harvey.
I can’t believe… wait, how are you
Like this again?”
HARVEY
“Well, it’s quite an interesting
story actually. There is this little
witch woman named Aunt Hilda that was
working with The Scarecrow, but at the
last minute when she was all alone with
me, she began to feel sorry for me, so
she used her witchcraft to turn me back.
I’ll be thinking that woman till the end
Of my days.”
BRUCE
“But that doesn’t make sense. How could
witchcraft change you back to what you
once were?”
HARVEY
“She had something to counter what happened
To me. I can’t really explain it myself, but
I know that it’ll hopefully make sense at
Some point. Listen, these guys want to get me
To the hospital right away. I just want to come
And tell you that Harvey Dent is back in town.”
BRUCE
“Well, I’m really glad you stopped by. You were
and always will be my best friend.”
Harvey smiles and moves down to whisper in Bruce’s ear.
HARVEY
(Whispering)
“Don’t worry. Your secret is safe with
me.”
Harvey smiles and gets ready to turn away, but then looks toward Dick and walks over to him. Dick starts to turn away, but isn’t quick enough.
HARVEY
“Whoa son. I just want to talk to you
for a second. Now listen, I know that
I can never give you your parents back
And I know that there is nothing that
I can do to ever repay for the pain that
Two-Face caused, but I hope that soon
You’ll be able to except me as someone
That you won’t feel like an enemy toward.”
Dick simply nods a little and looks away. Harvey smiles and walks to the exit of the mansion. He shakes Bruce’s hand and then leaves.
Then Gordon notices Selina and kind of recognizes her, but doesn’t really know who she is.
GORDON
(Cont. whispering
to Bruce)
“Who’s the beautiful blond lady?”
BRUCE
(A little
alarmed)
“That is my cousin three times
removed.”
Gordon looks a little shocked at the “three times removed” part.
GORDON
“Is that possible?”
BRUCE
(Laughing)
“I’m sure it is.”
GORDON
“Well, I’m going to get on then.
Thanks again for all you all have
Done here tonight. You’ve helped
Put several vicious criminals in
Prison. Goodnight.”
Gordon rounds up the rest of the cops and they all leave the mansion. Everyone breathes a sigh of relief and smiles.
Selina walks over to Bruce and smiles.
BRUCE
“So, cousin eh? Not bad.”
Bruce takes Selina’s hand and leads her into the parlour. Everyone else follows.
CUT TO:
124 INT. PARLOUR- NIGHT 124
Chase smiles and laughs to herself, but everyone turns to her and looks at her oddly.
CHASE
“Well Bruce, I guess I was right
about needing skin tight vinyl and
a whip.”
Bruce looks a little embaraced, but still manages to smile.
SELINA
“What is she talking about?”
BRUCE
“I’ll tell you some other time, but
right now, I’d like to show you something.”
Bruce takes Selina over to the couch and sits down with her.
BRUCE
“I was going to give this to Julie
in a couple of days, but I don’t
guess that will ever happen now. So
I want you to have it.”
Bruce takes a small case out of his pocket and opens it to reveal a ring with a huge diamond. Selina almost faints seeing it. Chase smiles amazed at how large the diamond is. Everyone else just sighs happily at the sight.
BRUCE
(Cont.)
“Selina Kyle, will you marry me?”
SELINA
(Smiling beyond
disbelief)
“Yes, Bruce, I will!”
Selina then kisses Bruce and they embrace one another happily.
ALFRED
(Sighing)
“And I thought we were finished
with making the cave larger.”
Everyone laughs at Alfred’s remark as they all sit down near the happy couple and begin to talk merrily.
CUT TO:
125 EXT. POLICE HEADQUARTERS ROOF- NIGHT 125
Detective Renee Montoya stands beside the Batsignal waiting in the cold patiently. Suddenly from out of the shadows comes Batman.
BATMAN
“What’s the trouble Detective?”
Montoya smiles and walks over to Batman. She then extends her hand to him for a hopeful handshake. Batman excepts the exchange.
MONTOYA
“You earned this handshake Batman.
I’m proud to know that you and your
Friends help the police force protect
This city, and I’m proud to be a part
Of that very force. You have finally
Got my respect Batman.”
Montoya removes her hand and begins to walk away.
MONTOYA
(Cont.)
“Keep up the good work.”
Montoya then walks away and Batman simply smiles as he walks away. The main Batman theme starts playing as the camera focuses on the Batsignal’s glare.
Suddenly Batman, Robin, Batgirl, and Catwoman all come onto the screen in front of the Batsignal as all four of them run together into everlasting darkness to protect Gotham City from the forces of evil.
FADE TO:
126 END CREDITS 126
The ending credits music starts with the song “Headstrong” by Trapt and then continues with the long version of the Batman theme song.
