Scene 1
Title Screen: Black,
the word "BATMAN" dissolves in at center-frame.
The words "The", "Hero" and "Begins" enter the frame rapidly from the Left, Bottom, and Right respectively to form the subtitle.
Bat-Symbol Swipe to reveal an alleyway.
Bruce Wayne (Harrison Ford), Bruce Wayne's Mother (Vallerie Bertinelli) and Bruce Wayne's Father (Hugh Laurie) are walking in the alley.
A VOICE:
"Stop right there, Money Bags!"
BRUCE WAYNE'S MOM:
"A Thief!"
A THIEF:
"Yes! That is me!" "I'm going to shoot your faces and leave your son alive, because I do not kill children, and then I am going to take your valuables because I am a thief who works for the Joker!"
The Thief shoots Bruce Wayne's Parents' Faces and they die.
The Thief runs away.
BRUCE WAYNE:
"No! I am all alone."
Alfred (Orlando Bloom) enters from the end of the alleyway.
ALFRED:
"It's okay, young master Wayne, I'm still here."
BRUCE WAYNE:
"Thank you."
