"PREPARING FOR BATMAN"

Written by: Doug Hanson (batmanfan)

PLOT

Harvey Dent aka Two-Face kidnaps assistant DA Rachel Dawes, and takes her to an old abandoned warehouse, as live bait for the Bat. A Sequel idea for Batman Begins Untitled Sequel.

ABANDONED WAREHOUSE: NIGHT – NARROWS ISLAND

Harvey Dent Two Face pushes Rachel into the open door of the warehouse. Harvey flips a switch, and the lights flicker to life.

Harvey

Ah! What a lovely place!

Rachel

Harvey, please you don't want to do this, you---

Harvey presses the gun into Rachel's back. Rachel gasps.

Harvey

Shut up, and start walking.

Harvey goes over to a control panel, and brings down a crane in the center of the room. He walks back toward Rachel, grabbing a pile of rope along the way.

Rachel

Harvey, please, you CAN get help. The doctors can do SOMETHING. And with a little therapy---

Harvey

(Enraged)

THERAPY?

Rachel knows she's gone too far.

Rachel

I didn't mean-

Harvey aims the gun directly at Rachel's forehead, and fires. Rachel screams, dodges the bullet, and falls to the floor, shaking. She touches her arm, and pulls away. Blood. The bullet grazed her arm. She looks up at Harvey.

Harvey

(Softly)

You'd better be careful Rachel. I don't have a problem with killing you. After all...

Harvey studies his reflection in a cracked window.

Harvey

(Continuing)

You're the one who made me like this.

Rachel

I didn't mean to! I'm your fr-

Harvey

(Cutting her off)

DON'T SAY FRIEND!

Rachel stares at Harvey, tears streaming down her face.

Rachel

That's what I am Harvey. Your friend. Whether you want me to be or not.

Harvey is surprised. Rachel, still on the floor, slowly crawls toward a rusted knife, lying on the floor, next to a crate. Harvey is not paying attention, as Rachel picks up the knife. Rachel hurls the knife at Harvey, just as he looks up.

Harvey

BITCH!

Harvey aims his pistol at Rachel as the knife sinks into arm. He screams in agony, and fires at Rachel. Rachel rolls away, but not fast enough to dodge the bullet. The bullet goes through the heel of her boot, tearing off the entire heel. Rachel races past Harvey as he yanks out the knife.

Rachel

Sorry to leave you like this. We'll have to do this again real soon!

Harvey

Oh no you don't!

Harvey tackles Rachel around the ankles, and she falls forward. Harvey releases her, the pain blinding him. Rachel crawls away, and scrambles to her feet. Rachel stumbles, and falls to the floor again. Harvey pins her to the ground. Harvey drags Rachel by her feet over to the crane. Rachel tries to kick him, but is unsuccessful. His grip is too strong. Harvey grabs her arms, and throws the rope around her. He starts to tie her up. Rachel struggles.

Rachel

HELP! Let me go!

Harvey takes the end of the rope, and binds to the loop of the crane. Rachel hangs limply from the crane. Her feet are dragging on the floor, her face all flushed and sweaty, her hair falling in her eyes.

Rachel

Let me go! I swear, when I get free I'll---

Harvey

(In mock horror)

You'll what?

Rachel does not answer as Harvey whips out a handkerchief, and ties it around his wound. He moves to the crane controls, and presses a button. The crane rises, and Rachel is lifted into the air. She hangs there, kicking her legs, yelling for help.

Harvey

Why don't you hang around? (Laughs) the fun's just about to start.

CUT TO BLACK.
