                                June 24, 1994

   1      EXT.  ARKHAM ASYLUM - NIGHT                                    1

          A castle of shadow. (OVER) RAIN, HOWLING evil wind.

          Sudden lightning CRACKS, illuminates the aged structure,

          the hanging metal sign.

   2      INT.  ASYLUM CORRIDORS - NIGHT                                 2

          DR. BURTON, the Chief Psychiatrist moves down the old

          hallway, face tense. He steps through a doorway into...

   3      INT.  MAXIMUM SECURITY - NIGHT                                 3

          Security cells. Criminal maniacs sealed behind protective

          casings.

          A GUARD stands before a heavy door.

                                  GUARD

                    Hell of a night, huh Doc?

                                  BURTON

                    Hell's in here.

          Hydraulics HISS. The cell door unseals.

   4      INT.  SECURE ISOLATION CELL                                    4

          Small. Walls, ceiling, floor, padded.  A single window

          casts the room in pallid moonlight.

          A figure sits in shadow, bound by the wraps and ties of a

          straight jacket, gaze fixed out the window.

          Lightning flashes, brightening the room. THUNDER CRACKS.

                                  DR. BURTON

                    Mr. Dent...

          No answer. Burton steps closer.

                                  DR. BURTON

                    Counselor...

          Still nothing. Another step.

                                  DR. BURTON

                    Harvey....

          Burton reaches towards the figure.

                                  DR. BURTON

                    Harvey are you alright...

          Burton touches his shoulder. Lightning flashes as...

          THE BODY WHIPS around. An orderly, gagged, sits bound to

          the chair with bedsheets.

          The sheets around the chair have been rigged. Now they

          yank him up so he spins frantically from the ceiling fan.

          Lightning flashes again, illuminating a madman's scrawled

          writing on the wall.

          WRITING - CLOSE. "The Bat Must Die!" THUNDER

   5      EXT.  GOTHAM CITY SKYLINE - SUNSET - FALL                      5

          Gothic towers of granite and glass shimmer golden in the

          late day sun.

   6      MOVE IN towards the city as an executive helicopter            6

          CROSSES FRAME. Through the window BRUCE WAYNE, still

          handsome but a few lines starting to show, sits watching

          a seatback video screen.

   7      CONTINUE In over Gotham Harbor towards the skyline as          7

          (OVER) A NEWSCASTER talks.

                                  NEWSCASTER

                    ...And in Gotham City, ex-District

                    Attorney Harvey Dent escaped from

                    Arkham Asylum for the Criminally

                    Insane.

   8      CLOSER on a single building, its power generated by a          8

          small but mighty dam below. A glowing sign reads Wayne

          Enterprises.

                                  NEWSCASTER (OVER)

                    Dent, once Gotham's leading

                    contender for Mayor, was horribly

                    scarred during an indictment hearing

                    over a year ago.

          HOLD on a single window. MOVE IN

   9      INT.  BRUCE WAYNE'S OFFICE                                     9

          Elegant. Oak. A wall monitor runs the same newscast.

  10      INSERT SCREEN                                                 10

          Dent questions a crime boss on the stand. A thug throws a

          vial of acid toward Harvey, searing half his face.

                                  NEWSCASTER (OVER)

                    Dent, whose left-brain was damaged

                    during the assault, launched a

                    grizzly crime spree before being

                    captured by The Batman. He is

                    extremely dangerous. Repeat....

  11      WIDER                                                         11

          Bruce Wayne ENTERS, his Armani suit the only thing fresh

          about him, followed by a sudden stream of EXECUTIVES,

          SECRETARIES, ASSISTANTS and GOTHAM SOCIETY MATRONS.

                                  EXECUTIVE

                    The solar generator tests are back.

                                  BRUCE

                    Uh... great, could you wait a

                    second...

                                  ASSISTANT

                    The Mayor's office called again -

                                  SOCIETY MATRON

                    Who are you asking to the circus -

                                  SECRETARY

                    Five minutes to your inspection -

                                  BRUCE

                    Stop!

          Everybody freezes.

                                  BRUCE

                    Okay, I want you all to just stand

                    here for fifteen seconds, okay?

                    Fifteen, everybody got it?

          Folks nod.

                                  BRUCE

                    Good. Nobody move, now.

          And with that, Bruce turns and walks out.

                                  BRUCE

                           (to himself)

                    I gotta give myself a raise...

  12      INT.  WAYNE ENTERPRISES - ELECTRONICS DIVISION - TWILIGHT     12

          Endless work-spaces stretching into infinity.

          Bruce, a Junior Exec ENTOURAGE trailing, tours an

          assembly line where robotic arms weld laser tools.

          FRED STICKLEY, a fuss-budget plant manager, leads.

                                  STICKLEY

                    Your weekly inspections are a

                    departmental highlight.

                                  BRUCE

                    Really?

                          (a warm smile)

                    You all need to get out more.

  13      CRANE UP high over the factory floor, across acres of         13

          assembly lines and work stations.

          ANGLE DOWN on

  14      INT.  EDWARD NYGMA'S WORK STATION (CONTINUOUS)                14

          A clutter of computer parts. Paperwork everywhere.

          Rubik's cubes, games, dozens of puzzle books all boasting

          the green suited caricature of "The Guesser".

  15      MONITOR-CLOSE. A crossword puzzle.

          Features reflect over the acrostic. The two images

          resolve into one; the face itself is a puzzle.

  16      REVERSE ANGLE                                                 16

          EDWARD NYGMA, awkward, brilliant and feverishly anxious

          stares up at the screen, TALKING to himself.

                                  EDWARD

                    We'll probably go to the house for

                    dinner. Yes. Yes. Maybe he'll throw

                    a little party in my honor.

          Suddenly Edward BANGS his head against the desk-top.

          Hard. A brief window on the inner Edward, all insecurity

          and self loathing.

                                  EDWARD

                    Idiot! Should have rented a tuxedo.

                           (suddenly calm)

                    Relax. I'm sure Wayne manor has

                    extra. After all, we're almost the

                    same size.

  17      The opposing wall is a shrine to Bruce Wayne:  newspaper      17

          headlines, a GQ cover, magazine photos.

  18      Approaching COMMOTION.                                        18

                                  EDWARD

                    Oh my God. It's him.

  19      INT.  WAYNE ENTERPRISES - BREAK AREA                          19

          Workers greet the boss. Bruce is friendly, welcoming,

          Edward appears on the edge of the group.

          Stickley spots Edward. A cloud crosses his face.

                                  STICKLEY

                    Well, Mr. Wayne, on to R&D?

          Stickley rests his hand on Wayne's elbow. Begins to steer

          him away. Not in time.

          Edward steps forward. A man so uncomfortable, his very

          skin seems to be a costume. He marches right up to Wayne,

          takes his hand, fawning, the burning eyes of a sycophant.

                                  BRUCE

                    Mr...?

                                  EDWARD

                    Bruce Wayne. In the flesh.

                                  BRUCE

                          (easy going)

                    Um...I'm pretty sure I'm Bruce

                    Wayne. And you are?

                                  EDWARD

                    Nygma. Edward Nygma. You hired me.

                    Personally. Just like I tell

                    everyone.

                           (sotto voce)

                    Well, we've never actually met, but

                    your name was on the hire slip.

          He still hasn't let go of Bruce's hand.

                                  BRUCE

                    I'm gonna need that hand back, Ed.
