INT. STUDIO
ADAM WARD, early 40s, balding man with a sharp nose, watches
pensively as JACK RYDER, mid 30s, cocky son-of-a-bitch with
perfect hair, leads a smutty chat show. He walks away,
disgusted; ROXANNE THORNE, early 20s, stunning brunette with
large breasts bounds along behind him.
WARD
This isn’t entertainment...this is
filth.
ROXANNE
So why don’t you just can him?
WARD
Because filth attracts filth...and
Gotham is a cultural wasteland.
FLASH - GARFIELD LYNNS, mid 20s, wide eyed with spiky brown
hair, watches in glee as a room is quickly enveloped in
flames, screams crying out through the chaos.
WARD (V/O)
...the madness that spreads through
its citizens like a knife through
butter...
FLASH - PAMELA ISLEY, late 20s, beautiful red-head sits in
her Arkham cell, staring blankly into the camera.
WARD (V/O)
...the indescribable horrors that
we have locked away, eagerly
awaiting their chance at escape...
FLASH - A dark room. A long table set up for a mad tea
party. A dead girl sitting at the end, empty eye sockets and
decaying flesh beginning to come off the bone.
HATTER (V/O)
(singing)
Twinkle, twinkle, little bat...how
I wonder where you’re at...
WARD (V/O)
...and, worst of all...the monsters
that remain on the streets...just
waiting for their moment to strike.
CUT TO - INT. STUDIO
Ward smashes his fist against the wall and Roxanne jumps
back, startled.

ROXANNE
Gee...so...why live here, then?
WARD
(determined)
Somebody has to clean up Gotham.
ROXANNE
Batman?
WARD
Ha! Since Batman has begun his
crusade of justice, Gotham has more
freaks than ever.
ROXANNE
Isn’t that a good thing?
Ward pauses and stares at Roxanne. She indicates towards
Ryder, who is finishing up his broadcast.
ROXANNE
I mean, more freaks means more
stories, right?
Ward stares at Roxanne menacingly before walking away. She
shivers and walks away herself.
FADE TO BLACK
’THE MANTLE’ - COMING SOON FLASHES ACROSS THE BLACK SCREEN
CUT TO - EXT. ALLEYWAY - NIGHT
In the rain, Batman smashes his fist into the face of a man,
struggling on the ground, as stunning blonde HARLEEN
QUINZEL, mid 20s, watches on in disgust. Batman stands up
tall, turning towards Quinzel.
HARLEEN
Don’t ya ever...I don’t know...try
reasoning with your victims?
Batman, mostly hidden in shadow, narrows his eyes.
BATMAN
Victims?
HARLEEN
Well...look at what you did to him.

BATMAN
You’re inexperienced...and naive.
In this town, that’s a dangerous
combination.
Batman grapples away into the night as the howls of police
sirens close in. Quinzel looks down at the unconcious man
and shakes her head in disbelief.
HARLEEN
Sure...I’m the dangerous one.
