BATMAN
THE WINGED AVENGER
Scene 1
Batman and James Gordon kneel over Harvey Dent
Gordon
"He's still alive! His career is over-the Joker has won!"
Batman
"No-the Joker didn't win-I killed Harvey Dent-Have him taken to Arkum Asylum and no one needs to know what happened here."
Gordon can't believe what he is hearing
"No-Gotham needs you-Why would you do this?"
Batman
"Because I can take it and if they think I am the villain I can vanish away-Use Harvey to build a legacy to make things right for the people of Gotham."
Gordan
"I can't do this-I won't!"
Batman walks up to commissioner Gordan just as the police arrive
"You don't have a choice!"
He replies kicking James Gordan in the face, then Batman throws his bat-akens at the police and runs off
Gordan's son
"Dad-why did he do that?"
Gordan stands up and places a hand on his son's shoulder
"Because he is the hero son-never forget what he did for us."
Gordan has Dent's body taken to Arkum Asylum in secret and his role in the kidnapping of Gordan's wife and son are covered up.
Gordan
"Professor Strange-No matter what you here this must be kept a secret-for the good of the people of Gotham
Hugo Strange
"I assure you commissioner Gordan that we shall be discreet and don't worry about Mr. Dent-He'll receive the best care."
While in Arkum Harvey Dent develops multiple personality disorder and refuses to get his face fixed. He also becomes addicted to pain killers. Meanwhile the Dent Act is passed and crime takes a dramatic plunge in Gotham City, but for the next two years Batman is chased by the police. Then he vanishes but the hunt is still on. During this time Boss Maronie, Steven Manjagora, and Boss Grimsom are arrested on Drug and racketeering charges.
FIVE YEARS LATER
A reporter is speaking as the camera pans through the skyscrapers, streets, alleyways, and neighborhoods of Gotham City.
Gotham In Depth by Jason Ramsey
"People of Gotham wake up and smell the coffee or rather the bullshit being shoveled by our local government-James Gordon is the best Police Commissioner we ever had and crime is down because of the Dent Act-Harvey Dent saved the city-Well I say BULLSHIT! Batman killed the DA-yeah right! It was Batman who stopped the Joker and it was Batman who stopped Professor Crane and his raging fear epidemic that nearly leveled our city before that-Now all of a sudden he is a murderer-Where is Dent's body Commissioner Gordan-Oh I forgot he wanted to be cremated-Meanwhile Arkum Asylum has increased its capacity for the criminally insane. They have the Joker locked away and no one can get access to him and my sources say that they have someone else locked away in the maximum security wing at Arkum including Professor Crane AKA the Scarecrow. Show me whats in the Max-wing at Arkum-This stinks of a coverup. The Batman hasn't been seen in three years and in the past two years the mysterious Cat burglar has been getting away with the most outrageous thefts and the police are clueless-Batman if you are listening we need you buddy-Especially if we are going to catch the cat."
Reporter 2
"That was our Jason Ramsey with his in depth story on where is the Batman now? In lighter news all of Gotham's high society is turning out for Bruce Wayne's charity function for the preservation of Gotham's mountain lion preserve. Let's go now to Vicki Vale live at Wayne Towers."
There is a red carpet and a hollywood type atmosphere as the guests arrive
Vicki
"Thank you Lynda-Several guests have already arrived and as usual Bruce Wayne is late-He'll will probably make one of his famous entrances-Oh a Roles Royce has just pulled up and getting out is oh my God its Selena Kyle-Selena Kyle is has been the most staunch advocate for the mountain lion preserve and has raised millions of dollars for these big cats. Her foundation also offers free neutering for domestic cats to the public. Okay there is a commotion everyone is looking up and yes an air-balloon is descending towards the street and on the side of the Balloon is the letter W-Yes its Bruce Wayne with famous stunt woman Roxy Rocket."
People are talking eating and mingling. Commissioner Gordan is there as well
Bruce Wayne
"Commissioner Gordon-may I introduce you to Roxy Rocket."
Gordon-kisses her hand
"Miss Rocket-I'm a fan of all your movies."
Roxy
"Call me Roxy all my friends do-Besides I wanted to meet the man who knew the infamous Batman."
Gordon tries to hide his discomfort of the subject of Batman-"Well I didn't know him personally and I don't know he is."
Roxy
"Well some friends and I are considering making a movie about the two men responsible for saving Gotham from the Joker."
Lucius Fox walks up behind Wayne and pats him on the soldier
"Mr. Wayne may I introduce you to Selena Kyle."
When Bruce turns to face them he is taken aback by her beauty and smile.
"Charming-absolutely charming."
Selena
"If you stare a little harder Mr. Wayne you may be able to tell that whether or not if I am wearing a bra."
Roxy clears her throat
"I'm his date Roxy Rocket." She says defensively
Selena and Bruce keep staring at each other
"I'm sure you are dear."
Roxy
"Bruce I could use a drink!"
Bruce
"Sure get me one too."
She sneers at them both, but Lucius grabs her hand and escorts her away
Selena
"I think you just lost your date."
Bruce smiles seductively
"I think I can find another before the night is out. Would you care to dance."
They slow dance across the floor and some people stop to watch them
Selena
"I wanted to thank you for putting all this together."
Bruce
"You should thank Lucius Fox it was his idea."
Selena laughs
"Modesty doesn't suit you Mr. Wayne."
He sighs
"I'd like to see you again-Perhaps we can leave here and catch the rest of the opera."
Selena smiles
"You are everything they say about you Mr. Wayne. That opera is sold out and I am sure it already started."
Bruce
"Well I own the venue they are performing at so they will let us in and if I ask we could get a private performance."
Selena kisses him on the cheek
"Unfortunately I have a prior engagement tonight-Oh Maven." A tall brunette walks over with a planner in her hand. "Do I have any free time coming up?"
Maven
"You have a Saturday night that is free next week."
Bruce smiles as Selena says
"How about dinner at the Boulevar?"
Bruce
"I can pick you up at 7."
Selena
"Or I could meet you there at the restaurant."
Bruce
"I'll make the arrangements and have my assistant call your assistant."
Selena walks out with Maven who gets behind the wheel while Selena sits in the back.
"Home Selena?"
Selena
"No-The falcon's eye ruby arrives tonight for display in the Gotham museum and I want to be there to greet it." As they drive up the street Selena gets changed in the back.
The Rolls Royce stops by the tram stop. Selena goes up the steps and gets on the next tram to old town. As she sits alone several punks get on the tram and start harassing her
Punk 1
"Hey little momma-What's classy lady like you doing on the tram to old town?"
Punk 2
"Maybe she's not a lady-maybe she's one of the high priced hookers."
They have Selena surrounded and punk 4 touches her hair while punk 3 opens up her fur coat
Punk 3
"Now that is some quality meat there-and she smells so fine!"
Punk 1
"What about it bitch-you a lady? If so then we are going to take what we want-If your Hooker we're still going to take what we want, but you still can make five bucks."
Selena smiles
"Do all of you have five dollars-if so then I will screw all five of you so hard your dicks won't want anything else."
All but punk 2 pulls out money, "I got my money right here!"
Punk 2
"Hey man you got a ten-cover me and I'll pay you back!"
Punk 1
"I got my friend here!"
Selena
Get off with me at the next stop."
They follow Selena off the tram and down the steps
Punk 4
"Shit the cops!"
They wait until the cops drive by then Selena leads them down a dark alley
Selena
"Money!" They all hand her money, "Okay big boy your first!"
She kicks punk 1 in the groin and as he goes down Selena raises one leg and leaps onto his back as he is bent over-She jumps up and as she is in flight she kicks punk 5 and 2 in the face, with a split kick. Punk 2 receives a busted lip, while punk 5 a broken nose
Punk 3 pulls out a knife
"Bitch!"
He swings, but Selena rolls to the ground and kicks his knee out. She is grabbed from behind by Punk 2 Selena struggles in his grip and bashes him in the face with the back of her head
Punk 2
"I got the bitch! Come on one of you punks help me!"
Punk 3 recovers and limps to get a two by four
"Hold her!"
He swings, but Selena slips from punk 2's grip and does a split as Punk 3 hits his friend in the face with the 2-by-4. Selena kicks the board out of the Punk 3's hands, then she jumps up and raps her legs around his throat and squeezes until he passes out.
Selena gets up and dusts herself off
"If I ever catch you boys disrespecting a woman like that-I will find you and finish the job."
Punk 1
"You bitch! I'll get you!" He says struggling to get up, but Selena kicks him in the face and hears the same police car from earlier
Selena screams
"HELP ME!"
She walks off as the police comes into the alley and question the Punks on their condition-They lie and say it was Batman.
Selena goes to an old apartment building-She opens the manager's office and is greeted by a black cat
"Hello Isis my sweet." The cat meows and then purrs as she strokes it. Selena goes to the next room and places the Isis on the bed then she puts on her Catwoman suit. She takes a private Elevator to the basement and hops on a motorcycle. Selena drives to the Gotham museum and watches as police deliver the Falcon's eye ruby to the Museum. Security is tight as the cops don't want the famous Cat stealing the valuable artifact.
Selena
"Isis my love-do mommy a favor."
The cat sneaks up to the museum and enters-its collar has a camera on it that transmits video to Catwoman's optical goggles that can see in infrared scan.
Security guard 1
"Its only cat-Call the SPCA."
The guard doesn't notice the Cat scaling the side of the building. Her cloves are equipped with diamond and steel tipped claws. She cuts a hole into the glass ceiling and uses her whip to dangle from the ceiling. Catwoman then swings over to the camera and plants a device on it. With the camera down she can now have free access of the Museum. She switches her goggle vision to see the lasers and drops to the floor. She cartwheels, flips, hand walks, and twists her way through the maze of lasers.
Catwoman
"The GCPD is making this too easy-Come to momma you beautiful bird."
Catwoman disables the security pressure point switch and removes the Falcon. When the guard enters the main room of the museum he gasps at the missing Falcon and sounds the alarm.
The SPCA truck is going up the street with Isis when one of the tires is blown out. The truck swerves into a lightpost. Catwoman pulls up and opens the back door after picking the lock. She takes Isis from the cage.
Driver
"Hey!"
Catwoman uses one of her whisker darts and pins the Driver to the truck
"Hey yourself." She replies blowing a kiss
Catwoman drove back to old town on her motorcycle. She came to a warehouse on the docks that was guarded by some hired muscle. As Selena got off her bike with Isis drapped around her neck one of the guards approached her. The guys laughed at him because he was new.
"Who in the hell are you suppose to be sister."
"I'm not fat or ugly so why would you call me your sister?"
The man sneered, "Look bitch!" The words stopped in his mouth as he was kicked in the groin then she kicked him in the face. When the man was on his back Selena put her foot in his throat, "You must be new-so I will let you off with a warning this time." As Selena walked off the other men burst into laughter.
"Catwoman! Babydoll! How is my favorite thief?"
Catwoman threw the man in charge the statue, "Cut the bullshit Dagget-How much can I get for that?"
He took a small spyglass and examined the statue, "I can do 10 million-cash."
"That's nice but I want fifty."
"Listen babe there's a ression-You know that-I can do 15 tops."
Catwoman sighed, "Fine Dagget give me my money-Your becoming a real cheap skate ya know."
Dagget snaps his fingers and gives her two large cases of cash, "Aren't you going to count it?"
She paused without looking back, "If its not all here I know where to find you."
When Catwoman returns to her apartment in old town she starts placing money in envelopes of a hundred dollars or more. When she is done over half the money is in envelopes and she locks the rest in a volt behind the wall. Catwoman spends the next two days giving the money away to people in old town.
