Bruce Wayne
Very Funny Alfred.

People here aren't stupid Thorne. They know all about you and what you really do...Plus your a hard man to get in touch with in person. Sending flunkies to boss meetings. Thats bad for business.
Rupert Thorne
Speaking of flunkies, did you have to put a bullet in my number one guy.

INT-GOTHAM GAZETTE
We see Tom and Vicky conversating.
Tom Finger
I think Pastor Jenkins has a point about Batman.
Vicky Vale
Come on how can you listen to that crap he says better yet belive that crap he says.
Tom Finger
I think its true. Look at all the things that happen since Batman arrived. Firefly, Dr. Death aka Dr Hellfern, etc. Batman appears and the freaks come out.
Vicky Vale
Batman had nothing to do with them.
Tom Finger
How do you explain Gordon? Lt. James Gordon the only decent cop in Gotham gets suspended. Why? Because he alligned with Batman. Where's Batman to help Gordon out?
Vicky Vale
Tom, Lt Gordon made a conscious decision to work with the Batman. And eventhough its unfair and a bunch of B.S. He gets suspended for it. His action caused that not Batman. Gordon believed in Batman.
Tom doesn't say anything but thinks on what she just said. Pan to Bruce approaching them.
Vicky Vale
Hey, what are you doing here?
They kiss. Tom shifts uncomfortably.
Bruce Wayne
Came by to see if you wanted to goto lunch?
Vicky Vale
Sorry I can't. I have a interview with Pastor Robert Jenkings.
Bruce Wayne
The guy from the T.V. Always casting Batman as a Demon.
Vicky Vale
Yeah that crack.
Bruce Wayne
Okay What about dinner?
Vicky Vale(teasingly)
Depends, can I count on you being there?
Bruce Wayne
I'll try.
Vicky Vale
Fine but if your not there after 30 minutes then I'm leaving.
Bruce Wayne
Deal.
Vicky Vale
Kiss on it.
Bruce smirks and kisses her.
Bruce Wayne
(to Tom)Nice see you again Tom.
Tom Finger
Whatever.
Bruce looks at Vicky and smiles. He walks off and bumps into Pastor Robert Jenkings.
Bruce Wayne
Excuse me.
Pastor Robert Jenkins
No excuse me Mr. Wayne.
The camera slow motion as Bruce and Jenkings walk past each other.
Vicky Vale
What was that attitude about?
Tom Finger
I don't see what you see in him. You shouldn't trust him. I heard about his reputation and I don't want to see you get hurt.
Vicky Vale
Thanks but you don't know him.
Tom Finger
And you do?
Vicky gives him an upset look. Pan to Pastor Jenkings approaching them. Tom walks away.
Pastor Robert Jenkings
Vicky Vale, I'm Pastor Robert Jenkins How do you do?
Vicky Vale
Great. Can we start the interview.
Pastor Robert Jenkins
By all means. Fire your questions.
Vicky Vale
You say Batman is a demon. What is your reasons for saying that?
Pastor Robert Jenkins
The answers simple Demons cause chaos and Batman wears the symbol of chaos.
Vicky Vale
And how is that?
Pastor Robert Jenkins
He dresses like a Bat. You see he terrorizes and preys on people from rooftops. People think he's hope but he's quite the opposite.
Vicky Vale
I see. With all due respect Pastor thats a load of crap. Batman is giving hope to Gotham. More than I can say for you or the Gotham Police Department. I think you have a few lose crews if you don't see that.
Pastor Robert Jenkins
It seems I struck a nerve, I'm sorry. Didn't know you were so senstive about Batman. I only speak the truth to the blind ones.
Vicky Vale
Only thing blind is your take on reality about Gotham. Gotham been in hell way before Batman.
Cut off on Vicky upset and Pastor Jenkins smiling.
