Ok im psyched bout this next movie so i thought id write what the opening scene should be like. If i get good replies i will add to it...like how the next scene should go..and the scene after...etc etc. Feel free to comment on it and give me ur insight.

The Warner Brothers logo rolls followed by the DC logo then it goes to a dark starry sky. Moves down and we see a bank with people coming in and out. Camera moves inside the building and we see a small amount of ppl inside..mainly just employees and one customer. A guy gets in line...and the teller looks up and sees him and calls

Teller:Can I help you sir?
The man approaches and since most of the bank is kinda dark..because it is like 5 minutes b4 closing not much light is shown on this customer.
Mysterious Man: What is ur name?
Teller: Mary sir...would u like to make a withdrawl or a deposit?
Mysterious Man: You dont look happy Mary...is somethin wrong?
Teller: Sir...would u like to make a withdrawl or deposit?
Mysterious Man: Its a shame you know...some people go their whole lives without being able to smile.
Teller gets nervous now and begins to fumble for the alarm button ready in case this stranger makes a move.
Mysterious Man: Dont be alarmed...i mean no harm...i only want to make u smile.
He removes his hat and almost instantly the white makeup and the green hair of the joker is visible as he grins at the teller. the teller goes for the button only to have the joker leap the counter and push his flower to release a gas. The woman backs away hand clutched at her throat mutterin "Help Me." Joker ignores her and grabs a bunch of money and stuffs it into a sack. As he finishes the sound of a loud motor can be heard. Joker looks up pleased at the camera and seconds later the batmobile comes crashing through the bank wall and skids to a stop infront of Joker. Batman climbs out.

Joker: well if it aint the man in black himself.
Batman: Time for me to wipe that smile off ur face Joker.
Joker: Just go ahead and try.
Batman makes a move for joker only to have him dodge and climb back over the teller counter. He runs for the door and turns around to Batman.

Joker: By the way Bats..if a bomb goes off in a bank...does that mean money is free?
Joker shows Batman a detonator in his hand and runs out laughin. Batman looks around and sees a bomb under the counter. He sees he has 5 seconds til it goes off so he leaps out the window and seconds later BOOM as the bank explodes in a cloud of smoke and flame.

Standin out side Batman goes..Alfred call the fire department...tell them what happened. Alfred replies "Sir if i may i believe it is time to give ur friend Gordon a call...looks like this Joker character is a bigger problem than even you can take care of. Batman replies...You may be right Alfred..(cuts to him lookin at the bank in ruins) You may be right. Cue opening Credits.

Ok thats it...kinda long but thats how i think the next movie THE DARK NIGHT should open up..give me ur feedback.

No, they are going to give the Joker more back story than that. Also, much too early in the movie for Joker and Batman to interact, he should be more mysterious IMO.

I agree. It sounds like a cool scene, but it should be more towards the middle. We need some nice build up, not just jump right in.

Ah, what a great thread! I love speculating about Batman, and comic-book films in general!

I won't give you a play-by-play of what I think the Batman sequel will be, but I'll just give you my general guesses:

1. The Joker kidnaps someone near and dear to Batman/Bruce Wayne. Perhaps a love interest, perhaps Harvey Dent early on? Turning him into Two-Face either by accident or by design.

2. Heath will play (and Nolan will direct) the Joker with a lot of despair. He will be a happy-go-lucky guy during bank robberies/acts of public villiany, but once the Joker Gang steps into their lair, he'll stumble off in front of a television and wearily hang his head with a bottle of Jack Daniels in his hand while his cronies goof off. Like Batman, he will be a prisoner of his own mask.

3. Expect Batman to step up vigilantism to new heights, and put a lot of bad guys in the hospital as he defends Gotham City. He will tangle with even more cops, this time going hand-to-hand combat with them as a city-wide manhunt gets underway for his arrest by orders of the Mayor.

4. Expect lots of vivid imagery from the Joker. The infamous Alex Ross painting of the Prince of Darkness taking a photograph facing directly in front of the viewer will be used. Tim Burton's Joker used a parade to unleash his laugh gas.. expect Nolan's joker to try and top that in terms of sheer lunacy and unbelievability. I can't think of an exact image, but it'll be the height of the Joker's insanity.

5. Harley Quinn will be played by a comely young actress. My personal vote might be Sarah Michelle Gellar, but Allison Hannigan might also be a consideration. Maybe the blonde chick from "Without A Trace". Maybe Kristen Cavellari. I don't know who I want to see in this role, but no one above 30 years old for sure.

Thanks, that's all my input so far!

Well if u remeber in the first one it ends with Batman being Told of the joker menance...so i wanted the next movie to start out with a fight between joker and batman....make it seem like he has been hunting the joker from the end of the last one to the beginnin of this one. This is plausible because joker is supposedly the arch nemisis of Batman. As the movie goes on....the audience is told of the backstory on joker..why he became joker...how he got the flower idea so on and so forth. I thought it belonged as a start off point because this is where the movie essentially is bout..the joker batman conflict..from here like i said b4 we can have flashbacks and the like..like we did with the first one where Bruce was in prison and we see how he got there afterwards and where he went from there...anyway thats why i did it that way.

That seems a bit more plausible. I still think the the first confrontation shouldn't take place until closer to the midpoint of the movie. Batman can be tracking the Joker, and investigating, but an actual confrontation? I don't know. Keep the stuff coming though.

Ok here is the next part of what happens in The Dark Knight. This takes place after the beginning credits and covers approx the first 15 mintues of the movie to possibly a half hour of the first movie so its gonna be a long one but here it goes.

We see Rachel window shopping for wedding gowns and is staring outside looking into a window at a beautiful white gown. As she is looking at the gown we hear Bruce say “Isnt it a little premature to be looking for wedding gowns?” Bruce then steps in next to her and there is an engagement ring on Rachel’s finger.

Rachel: Bruce we’ve been dating for 2 years and have been engaged for one year…Its time for me to start looking.
Bruce: But we haven’t even set a date.
Rachel: Well Bruce I cant wait forever Gotham is always gonna be under attack from some lunatic and Wayne Industries is always going to need your attention. What am I supposed to do just sit back and wait til there is world peace?
Bruce: You know I don’t expect that.
Rachel: Well then Mr. Wayne I am going to look at wedding dresses and if you don’t like it then you don’t have to watch. (Bruce’s phone rings)
Rachel: (laughs)I swear I didn’t plan that
Bruce talking on phone: Hello? Oh hi commissioner what can I do for you? Sure I can be there in a few minutes. Oh no I’m not doing anything special it’ll be fine. Ok then sir goodbye.
Rachel: You’re not doing anything special?
Bruce: You know what I mean…the commissioner is holding a special meeting about what to do about the Joker he has Gotham in an outrage..you know its bad when the entire policeforce cannot come up with one solid lead on this guy…its like hes a ghost.
Rachel: Or hes just like you….mysterious
Bruce: I’ll see you at the mansion tonite for dinner?
Rachel: sure ill be there around 8
Bruce: *kisses Rachel* be careful

As Bruce jogs to his car Rachel just watches him go.

Commissioner Gordon’s Office
Gordon is standing in a room with about 20 police officers talking with a large bulletin board behind him with a picture of Joker on it. There is a map under the picture with different locations circled in red indicating the places that Joker has attacked…some places that have been attacked include hospitals, schools, libraries, banks, parks, and a few homes and businesses in general. The door opens and Bruce Wayne enters. Gordon looks up and sees Wayne enter. He looks around and seeing that everyone has arrived calls the meeting to order.

Gordon: We’re here to discuss the latest developments on the Joker case. I assume you are all aware that the Joker’s last target was the Gotham Bank which is now in ruins after a bomb explosion. It is believed the bomb was put under the teller’s counter by the Joker moments after Batman’s arrival on the scene. Also like in the other instances there was only one casualty. A woman by the name of Mary Price. Also like the others Mary was found with a smile on her face similar to how the others were found. It is believed to be the cause of the same chemical that was found on the other victims. We believe that the chemical is released from some sort of artifical flower that he has on his jacket. It is a gas mixture when he releases it. All this is in the case profile which my assistant provided for you at the beginning of the meeting.
Cop #1: Do we have any idea where he is operating from?
Gordon: We believe it to be some type of warehouse. This is because he has used explosives on more than one occasion and each time a different explosive was used. He would need a large space to manufacture these type of things in addition to the other gadgets we have seen him use.
Cop #2: What bout the rumours that he is in league with this Bat character?

A voice calls “Let me personally put those rumours to rest.” There is a movement among the crowd of cops and a man in an Armani suit moves to the front of the room and stands next to Gordon.

Gordon: Let me introduce you all to a dear friend of mine and this city’s Mr. Harvey Dent, Gotham district attorney. Mr. Dent will be working with us on this case due to the fact that he will be prosecuting the Joker when we do catch him.
Harvey: Batman is a crime fighter and has never been in league with any crime organization ever. I personally owe him because without him half the criminals that I prosecute would still be on the streets. Next time any of u hear a rumor that suggests hes helping the Joker I would advise you all to remember that not too long ago he stopped a certain terrorist by the name of Ras Al Ghoul from releasing toxin into the whole city. Would an ally of Joker do those kind of things?

Gordon: Any other questions? Good you may all get back to what you have to do. Thanks for attending.

As the room empties Gordon, Wayne and Dent remain.
Gordon: Harvey I assume you already know Bruce Wayne.
Dent: Of course there is not a soul in this city who has not heard of you.
Gordon: Mr. Wayne is here because I believe since he has donated money to most of those places that the Joker attacked and since he no doubt hears things I thought he should be included on the investigation.
Dent: I also hear it that some of your gadgets have been used by Batman…is this true?
Wayne: We have had our fair share of encounters….yes I have helped him out with one or two things.
Gordon: So you see as such I thought he would be an ideal person to have as someone who can collect information.
Dent: Glad to have you on the team then Bruce. Have any news for us now?
Wayne: Not really..but I have both of ur numbers so ill let u know when I do..now if u’ll both excuse me I have some things to attend to…Good day gentlemen.

Wayne leaves
Dent says to Gordon: Is it just me or do u get the feeling that Bruce isn’t telling us the whole truth about the Joker fellow?

Ok that’s what I have so far…the next part I post will have Joker’s backstory and will explain things a little more..I wanted to use this addition to establish Joker as a serial killer and to introduce Harvey Dent. If a moderator sees this I would like someone to add this to shh boards in the batman section when it does open….anyway leave comments and let me know what you think.

I read some of it, Joker needs brief backstory nad Gordon can't be commissioner since he's promoted to Lt end of the movie.

Rachel made clear that she can't be with Bruce since he's Batman and criminals fear his face now she might be with him when Gotham no longer need "Batman"

K the Gordon being Lt i didnt remember so the commissioner thing is a minor error on my part but the meeting still works cause hes been put in charge of the Joker investigation. The Rachel thing im just gonna leave with her and Bruce having a relationship because she could've rethought it and decided that she could love Bruce Wayne and let Batman go fight...doesnt work logically but whatever i made the mistake and im gonna carry it through.

I like how you introduced DA Harvey Dent, make sure that Dent isn't fond of Wayne but allies with the Batman. Maybe Harvey could have feels for Rachel in the movie.

I think Rachel's relationship with Bruce should be very limited where Bruce always spending his time at nights fighting sometimes forgeting to that Bruce Wayne has a life as welll like Alfred remind him about that.

Third part of 7 of The Dark Knight..It mentions the backstory of Joker..mentions why Dent and Bruce arent fond of each other..and introduces the idea that a big scheme is underway between Joker and the Penguin.

Bruce returns to the mansion and upon entering Alred comes up to him.
Alfred: back already Master Wayne?
Bruce: I’ll be in the batcave…Rachel is coming over for dinner tonite can u arrange for something Spanish?
Alred: I’ll see what I can do. How did the meeting go?
Bruce: They accused Batman of being in league with the Joker what do u think?
Alfred: You do both show up at the same time. What do u expect people to think?
Bruce: Harvey was there too
Alfred: Things gotten any better between you two?
Bruce: He still thinks Rachel is going to go back to him and that im preventing that from happening.
Alfred: Did he say that?
Bruce: No but he didn’t have to…Harvey’s the kind of man that communicates things with his eyes…and his eyes said hed like to see me wind up as the Jokers next victim.

Bruce enters Batcave…Batmobile is there with the computer mounted into the wall on his right. Bruce walks up to the computer sits down and begins doing a search for the Joker.

Alred: What exactly do you hope to find?
Bruce: Who this Joker guy is.

Searches come up…
Real Name: Nicholas Spelvin
Hometown: Anchorage
Last Known Residence: Arkham Asylum

Nicholas Spelvin born to parents Mary and Joseph on August 14, 1975 in Anchorage Alaska. Both parents were bankers. Moved to Gotham City when he was 20 years old to attend Gotham University where he studied chemistry for 2 years. Dropped out due to the death of his parents as a result of a mob shooting.

Alfred: See any patterns yet?
Bruce: Hmm Gotham University…one of the first places that was attacked by the joker, studied chemistry which is exactly what he would have had to study if he was to create that toxin of his that makes ppl smile. So far makes sense. Lets see what else there is.
Bruce scrolls down.

Was arrested in 1990 for holding up a convience store. 1 year sentence. Arrested in 1991 for grand larceny, 1992 for money laundering. 1994 was found as being part of a mob hit on an industrial chemicals plant by the name of Gotham Chemicals. Was never arrested due to officer’s report that he had fallen in accidentally to a batch of chemicals.

Bruce: Sounds like that’s when he finally lost his mind.

1997: A man fitting Nicholas Spelvin’s description was arrested for having brutally killed a man by the name of Anthony Scarpetti. Victim was found with a smile on his face that was later determind to be caused by a chemical venom. When taken in for questioning Nicholas said that he no longer answered to the name of Nicholas…he was to be called Joker. Suspect was asked why he killed Anthony…he said payback for his parent’s death. Suspect was tried and convicted for the murder and imprisoned at Arkham Asylum.

Alfred: So you two have something in common…both of you had your parents killed by mobsters.
Bruce: There’s a difference I didn’t brutally kill the person responsible.
Alfred: Well that tells you everything you need to know I suppose.
Bruce: I guess so but I cant help thinking theres more to it than that.

Bruce prints out a copy of what hes found.

Bruce: Wait a minute how many banks did Joker attack?
Alfred: Two… one had a male victim by the name of Joseph Migle. The other one Mary Price.

Bruce: Just like his parents…but why would he want to go after people who are like his parents and then avenge their murderer it doesn’t make any sense.
Alfred: Just an idea but who tried his case?
Bruce: I dunno let me check
He checks the computer
Bruce: Well this is a little bit of a surprise: Harvey Dent….back when he was an assistant district attorney. He assisted a Bruno Marveletti.
Alfred: Might I suggest sharing said information with the proper authorities.
Bruce: I will but first I have a special dinner to enjoy.

Cut to a shot of Gotham Docks at night…Limousines are outside with armed guards guarding the docks. Move in to find a short man with a top hat and a cane walking towards a man of average height but his face is obscured by a hat and it is night so hard to make out his face. The man is standing next to a barge.

Average man: Good evening Mr. Copperbottom
Copperbottom: Good evening to you too sir…by the way you still haven’t told me your name.
Average man: You will know it soon enough when it becomes important.
Copperbottom: It is important now. We are engaging in some not so legal behavior here how do I know your not an undercover cop ready to arrest me the moment I accept the goods?
Average man: Because I am the furthest from a cop humanly imaginable.

He lights a cigarette and Copperbottom briefly gets a glance at someone in white makeup.

Copperbottom: Oh my god. You’re that man that the cops are hunting…they call you the Joker.

Joker: Yes they do and if I believe the reports correctly in London which is where you originally came from they called u Penguin…for your love of those tuxedo birds.
Penguin: Lets get this over with....wheres the merchandise?
Joker: in the barge of course. But first your part of the deal.
Penguin shuffles in his pockets and removes a leather pouch.
Joker: Excellent now open it.
Penguin shows him but the camera is not allowed to see it.
Joker: Good you know not to deceive me.
Penguin: And now for ur part of the bargain.
Joker gestures with his hand and three of his goons appear with duffle bags. They hand them to Penguin’s thugs.
Penguin orders his thugs to open the bags. This time the camera gets a view of guns of every kind…automatic..semi automatic…AK 47s.
Penguin: You also know not to deceive me. I have to ask how did u get all of them.
Joker: Lets just say some old friends have not forgotten the favors I have done for them over the years. And I expect the second part of our agreement still stands?
Penguin: Of course…you know how to get in touch with me. I will keep a low profile until the time is right. After that may God save Gotham because he might be the only one who will be able to. What bout the Bat issue? Can you take care of it?
Joker: Yes don’t worry bout him…hes doin exactly what I want him to…soon he will understand just what I want him to and then *makes a trap motion* the trap will be sprung and Batman will be helpless to defend the city hes worked so hard to help. (mocks crying)
Penguin: (chuckling) excellent. Good nite then
Joker: Good nite

Ok that’s the third installment of 7 parts. Again if anyone wants it emailed to them I will do so just leave me ur email addy mine is brianbread@yahoo.com I introduced Penguin because it is rumoured he will be in this movie. Next section will have more Bruce, Rachel, Dent interaction plus a fight scene between Joker and Batman and a brief fight between Batman and the cops. Comments are welcome.

I think it's very good script some different doesn't try and copy Nolan's/Goyer's script from Begins This might be little peek but Joker's real name should unknown and Penguin is played out some what different to Burton's version. 7/10.

The Question
08-12-2006, 08:22 PM
Here'sd how I see the film happening:


The Joker shows up, and begins what he did in his very first apearence. Publicly anuncing that he's going to kill specific people at specific times, and then proceeding to do so succesfully. This, naturally, puts Gotham City in a state of panic. The Joker soon builds up a small cult following on the disenfranchised and partially insane, who become his gang. The Joker then proceeds to go on stage at the Gotham opera house (no one besides his victims and his gang had seen his face yet), gass the entire theater to death, and then preform a comedic Shakesperian monologue to their corpses. He is then confronted by and defeated by Batman, and is arrested by the police. While being entarrogated, his gang breaks into the police station, sets him free, and proceeds to kill all the officers in the building. The Joker then sets the precenct on fire, and leaves a green smile painted on one of the search lights in the roof, creating a make shift "Joker Signal" that reflects off the black smoke of the burning building. He then goes to the home of Comisioner Gordon where Gordon is talking witb Rachel Dawes (who is DA at this moment), and then the plot proceeds from there like it did in Alan Moore's "The Killing Joke," except with Rachel in Barbara's stead, and he kills her.

Back at Wayne manor
Rachel arrives for her dinner and Alfred takes her coat.
Rachel: Thank you Alfred
Alfred: My pleasure Ms. Dawes, Mr. Wayne should be along shortly he is just finishing up some work. Something to drink?
Rachel: No thanks Alfred I’ll just grab a seat in the living room.
Rachel goes into the living room and looks on the mantel and sees a picture of Wayne and his mom and dad when he is at a young age. Next to that picture is one of her and Wayne outside his new estate after it was rebuilt from the fire that Ras Al Ghoul caused in the mansion. Next and last photo on the mantel is a picture of Wayne next to Alfred. Alfred is smiling but something bothers Rachel about the look on Bruce’s face…its almost as if hes looking past the person taking the picture and focusing on something just behind them. Almost on instinct. Rachel turns around and sees Bruce coming down the stairs. He is not happy at all.

Rachel: Is something wrong Bruce? You don’t look happy to see me.
Bruce: Im sorry Rachel but something came up I have to cancel.(Alfred approaches)
Bruce: Alfred get Rachel her coat she’s leaving.
Rachel: Not until you tell me whats wrong..I already know your Batman so anything that involves that part of your life you can tell me.
Bruce: Alfred….coat…now
Alfred: yes sir (goes to fetch coat)
Rachel: Why are you always doing this…Im trying to get close Bruce and everytime you push me away. What is it..are you afraid of getting hurt…do you think that something you will tell me will jepordize my safety?
Alfred returns with Rachel Dawe’s coat and Rachel snatches it hastily.
Bruce: Goodnite Ms. Dawes
Bruce turns around and goes into his study.
Rachel: BRUCE!
Bruce pauses
Rachel: You do this Bruce…you cancel and not even give me a reason…not even trust me enough to give me a reason…and it is over…the engagement, the relationship, EVERYTHING!.
Moments pass in absolute quiet.
Bruce: Goodnite Ms. Dawes
Rachel: Fine. Goodnite Mr. Wayne……and Goodbye.
Rachel walks out the door and Alfred closes it behind her.

Bruce walks into his study followed by Alfred.
Alfred: Do you mind telling me what that was about?
Bruce: I got a call from Commissioner Gordon.
Alfred: Trouble?
Bruce: Someone fitting Joker’s description was just spotted at Harvey Dent’s apartment.
Alfred: Sir may I remind you that you could have informed Ms. Dawe’s about that….its hardly classified information.
Bruce: Its none of her business I’m Batman its my responsibility to protect people…even if that means my fiancée.
Alfred: First of all sir you are more than just Batman…you are Bruce Wayne as well you are more than just saving people you must have relationships and if I must say you have just messed up the most promising relationship I have ever seen you have. And Lastly sir, she is no longer your fiancée, due to your charades this nite she is now your ex fiancée or were u not paying attention to that part.
Bruce: I don’t need to explain my actions to you Alfred…I have to go.
Alfred: Then by all means don’t let me stop you. But remember this Master Wayne you are not God, all of our actions have consequences and sooner or later you will have to face yours.

Bruce descends into the batcave
Alfred: He gets it from his father.

When the Batmobile arrives at the scene the road is already blocked off by police cars. Gordon is standing outside. Gordon sees the batmobile in the shadows and goes over to it. Batman opens the hatch so that he can talk to Gordon.
Gordon: Im surprised it took you so long to get here.
Batman: I got held up. What happened?
Gordon: Just like I told you before…someone matching the Joker’s profile..meaning green hair and white makeup was seen going into Harvey Dent’s apartment 20 minutes ago. Luckily he wasn’t home.
Batman: Anything I should know about the crime scene?
Gordon: Only that its not really a crime scene…sounds weird but this time around Joker’s only crime was breaking and entering. Dent’s being questioned now bout if anything is missing but as far as we can tell noting was moved. There was one thing I thought you should see…the reason I called you here in fact.

Gordon produces a letter.
Gordon: Made a copy of it so feel free to take it.
Batman: It sounds like hes trying to tell me to come find him.
Gordon: That’s what I thought too…I think he knew that Dent wasn’t going to be home but that it would attract attention. He wants to lure you into the open.
Batman: Then its best to give the man what he wants. By the way I have something for you.
Batman hands Gordon the printout of Joker’s background.
Gordon: Thank you but we already knew this.
Batman: I assumed as much but notice a pattern? Two people are killed in the same profession as his parents with the same first name. Gotham university was the place he went to school and also the first place he bombed. Also Harvey Dent was one of the ones responsible for putting him into prison.
Gordon: You think hes attacking things that remind him of his Pre-Joker days?
Batman: It’s a theory so far it works.
Gordon: Thanks…I’ll check into it. But you should go and find him now..use the letter and go where it says.
Batman: I will..Be careful I get the feeling its gonna get worse b4 it gets better.

He closes the hatch and drives off to the destination mentioned in the letter: Gotham Chemicals.


Gotham Chemicals:
Joker: How long must I wait here until that buffoon of a caped crusader finally figures it out. Its been 20 damn minutes!
Thug #1: We should just get outta here…hes not gonna show
Joker: No in order for the plan to succeed Batman must be eliminated. Its either now or never. Everything in order?
Thug #1: Yeah the hostage you wanted me to bring is here…should Batman try anything ill send our lawyer friend for a dip in a chemical bath.
Joker: So stupid really…worked like a charm I act like im interested in Harvey Dent while you grab the other one. He looks up at Bruno Marveletti…the same one who was the prosecuting attorney for Joker’s trial that sent him to Arkham.
Joker: Comfy up there Mr. Lawyer sir?
Bruno: You’ll never get away with this you psychotic *******
Joker: Such language I think that deserves a quick bath.
Joker lowers the chain that Bruno is tied to a little closer to the pit of chemicals…He was 20 feet over the vat…now he is 15 feet.
Joker: Keep it up…every remark costs you 5 feet.

Deep voice: How much for Your Going Back to Arkham?

At that moment the glass ceiling over Joker’s head breaks and Batman comes droping in.
Joker’s henchmen go running for cover and snap their safety’s off their guns. Joker steps closer to the controls operating the crane that Bruno is attached to. Batman lands on the ground and throws a batarang at the light box. Instant darkness. Seconds later the emergency lights come on but they are not powerful and make the room very dimly lit. Joker can just barely make out Batman taking out the thugs one by one.

Batman sees one guy on the catwalk above him about to shoot. He uses his grappling hook to fly up and lands to the left of him. Grabs the gun throws it over the side and while doing this roundhouse kicks the guy in the abdomen and sends him flying over the railing with his gun. Continuing along the catwalk he takes out two more guys the same way and the third guy has a dagger in each hand. Batman grins as the guy comes charging at him Batman steps to the right at the last second to have the guy miss him and tasers him in the back. With all the goons taken out he walks calmly over to Joker.
Batman: That’s it? You drag me halfway across Gotham and I don’t even break a sweat?
Joker: Follow the crane bats.
Batman looks at the chain and sees the hostage.
Batman: Let the man go Joker..he’s nothing to you.
Joker: Nothing? That man cost me my life…him and his lawyer friend Mr. Dent put me in Arkham. Ever been there? Place makes the nuts people sane and the sane people nuts. I think its time the people responsible paid their dues to society…SOCIETY BEING ME!
Batman: Im done discussing it with you. He walks over to Joker and Joker grabs the lever and brings the hostage down 5 more feet.
Joker: New game every step you take towards me sends this man 5 feet further toward his chemical friend.
Batman: Your crazy
Joker: Tell me something I don’t know.
Batman moves his hand stealthy toward his belt and activates the mini video feed on it. Thus connecting whoever is watching the monitor back in the bat cave….in this case being Alfred..to what is transpiring right infront of Bruce Wayne.. Seconds later Alfred comes in on the earpiece in the bat suit.
Alfred: This is a rather dangerous situation if I don’t say it myself. I assume that crane runs on electricity. Hmmm let me see what I can do.
Bruce automatically knows what Alfred is thinking..hes going to cut the power thereby not letting Joker be able to use the controls anymore. Once that’s done Batman can rescue the hostage and deal with Joker.
Joker: Ok Batman time to end this little war between us. *Pulls out a gun* Its been fun but all good things must come to an end and lets face it…your curtain call is WAYYYYY overdue.
Alfred: Ok Eletric is officially out. Go Surprise our friend.

Batman takes 2 steps closer to Joker. Joker goes to pull the lever…………and nothing happens.
Joker: WHAT!? You must’ve done sumpting…you always do sumpting no matter ill finish you myself. Pulls trigger and a dart shoots out of the gun and pierces the suit on Bruce’s left side of his neck. Batman pulls it out and goes for Joker. Joker runs toward the back door and on his way throws a metal object toward the Chain which almost breaks the chain…Its just barely hanging together.

Joker: What now Batman…come after me or save the lawyer TICK TOCK TICK TOCK. And he runs away. Batman grapples the ceiling and swings out and catches Bruno at the last possible moment. Puts him on the ground.
Bruno: Im sry you couldn’t catch him
Batman: He’ll try again…get home and stay there.

Batman gets in batmobile and drives off.


Ok kind of long but im setting up for something good…a batmobile chase coming up and Dent finds his vendetta against Bruce AND Batman. Once again Comments are appreciated.

Hey, it's pretty good; I also like that the Penguin isn't played out as he was in the older movie. I like what you've done so far, keep it up!
