doctor.
DOCTOR HUGO STRANGE
Talking while putting hand to chin
. ok BANE! I want to ask you about
you’re...your mask. why do you wear
it?
BANE
Bane answers the question while stroking his mask
No cared who I was till I put it
on.
DOCTOR HUGO STRANGE
Strange is talking with sarcasm
If you take it off...will you die?
Would it be extremely ... Painful?
BANE
Bane answers the question By pointing out the obvious
statement
Yes doctor but you already Knew
that didn’t you!
DOCTOR HUGO STRANGE
Strange starts laughing!
You’re a smart man Bane and equally
as strong. Abnormally strong might
I add? I didn’t think you felt
pain; after all you were born in
the Shadows, where pain is forged.
Tell me about your younger years
living in the pit. What were the
conditions that created such
suffering For you? Tell me the
story “behind” that mask?
BANE
Bane answers the question with a since of overwhelming
struggle of the past.
My time spend as a boy was learning
the truth about despair. Each day
was a struggle to survive. We
hardly ever slept. I was told
(MORE)
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 4.
BANE (cont’d)stories about what lied above the
surface and I thought to myself...
imposable a hell worse than this?
DOCTOR HUGO STRANGE
Srange responds in a assertive manner and is curious about certain obstacles in banes life in the pit
That must have been disconcerting
news for you. How did you sustain
such brutal injuries? When my men
found you after the liberation of
Gotham. They told me that what they
saw was unbearable to visualize.
They told me that you were lucky to
be alive. My intelligence tells me
of another mutual partner of yours
in the pit. A lady, the daughter of
RA’s sal goal. You loved her dident
you?. You took the beating of a
lifetime so that she could escape.
BANE
Bane responds with in denial cover up for his true feelings.
I did what was necessary.. Love is
a strong word doctor. My intention
was towards the league of shadows.
A pointless effort to empress the
... LEADER! He saw me as an
abomination but I would complete
his work better then him. I would
be Gothoum,s reckoning. I am the
League of Shadows... good doctor.
DOCTOR HUGO STRANGE
Talking
Moving on Why did you free the
prisoners of Black gate? Why not
here in Arkham?
BANE
Talking
Because the people here in Arkham
are week and insane. me and my men
On the other hand are like Titanium
lions... Unbreakable,sufficant
combatants’, admirable and above
all ..Patient good doctor.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 5.
DOCTOR HUGO STRANGE
Strange asks with a light voice
Do you believe in God Bane?
BANE
Talking
God? Of course. Why do you think I
am here? I was sent by God, to fix
the world of all the evil, to fix
the lies, the corrupt past down to
man from generation to the next. I
want to start a new world...a world
that is safe and source.
DOCTOR HUGO STRANGE
Srange talks with ambition
Yes I read the files you wanted to
cleanse Gotham in your words
referenced by your quarter master
Victor Gromoff who is now in
captivity... Your plan was going
smoothly wasn’t it. But you faced
an unfortunate complication... A
complication that I share.. The
batman..Im curious....how did you
find his HQ .. Were is it? Your
patients served you well Bane. IS
it true that you broke him?
BANE
Bane talks with anger and resentment.
Mr Wayne disgraced US... with his
disobedience to too our creed.
Bruce was not hard to find. If
anyone is to stop him it will be
me. May I ask you a question
Doctor?
DOCTOR HUGO STRANGE
Strange is curious
I ... spouse you may.
BANE
Talking
Did you idolize Harvey Dent?
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 6.
DOCTOR HUGO STRANGE
Strange responds with excitement
Yes he was my experiment of the
year, maybe of all time. When I saw
what the Joker was trying to do I
offered this small time lawyer the
opportunity of a life time. Dent
was a fascinating yet complex
individual. I had never seen such
passion for stopping crime in
Gotham. For a while I actually
thought he was The Batman.But Bruce
wane.!! That was truly a
surprise. Harvey was magnificent!!
... I relied on him to do the right
thing ... and he is doing just
that...
BANE
Talking
You can never really rely on people
these days...Even your shadow
abandons you in the dark.
DOCTOR HUGO STRANGE
Trying to figure out Bane’s intentions with a provoking
touch
Deep down you want to destroy
batman. But you only desire it to
be recognized. I’m I rite?? Hope...
Isn’t it big fellow...?
BANE
responds with anger
I HOPE FOR YOUR SACK I NEVER GET OUT OF
HERE BECAUSE RIGHT NOW I HAVE THE DESIRE TO BREAK YOU GOOD
DOCTOR.
DOCTOR HUGO STRANGE
Strange playing the provoking game to see what makes Bane
tick.
Very good release that anger feels
good doesn’t it??
Bane grabs strange with rage while braking out of cuffs
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 7.
BANE
strangles strange with range
SHARE A FELLING GOOD DOCTOR
DOCTOR HUGO STRANGE
Strange points a gun to Bane’s Neck and guards yeal stand
down.
GUARDS RETAIN HIM!!!
BANE
With an assertive manner bane lets go of strange
No need for that, I was thought to
obey. But don’t undermine me with
these week shackles.
DOCTOR HUGO STRANGE:
Strange is trying to catch his breath
you talk of the dark like you own
it. Like it is your saviour but yet
you’re reckoning...Why is that?
BANE
Talking
I was born in the Dark...consumed
by it for years...I didn’t see the
light till I was a man By then it
was nothing to me but blinding.
DOCTOR HUGO STRANGE
Responds with curiosity
Blinding? Interesting...Bane tell
me the story linking you to the
League of Shadows and why you would
blame the Batman for betraying them
when they themselves were oblivious
to Gotham. Tell me why you would
compare the Batman with yourself?
And then say he is the wrong person
for saving people. Tell me why...
you think you’re worthy when you
yourself were excommunicated from
the League of Shadows.
BANE
FEAR... like any great leader it’s
fear and desire that makes people
(MORE)
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 8.
BANE (cont’d)suffer! Ra Shal Gual controlled
fear, but it did not control him.
Fear is a great motivator.
DOCTOR HUGO STRANGE
Fascinated
“Interesting statement”
BANE
playing the provking test with strange
Of course, you fear losing your
position as the Good Doctor, while
all of Gotham’s inmates from Black
gate and Arkham just see you as
another Villain with plenty to
lose. If you were a good Doctor you
would have gained the respect of
those Villains before locking them
up in a cell. And if you were a
genius Doctor you would have gained
my respect before you looked me up
in this boring room.
DOCTOR HUGO STRANGE
Disgusted
Your arrogance blinds you
Bane When you are in my facility
you play by my rules, my games and
you will be here till I say so! Do
we understand each other?
BANE
Bane confident of his escape tries to bargain for his
freedom
FOR NOW perhaps I cold bargain for
my freedom.
DOCTOR HUGO STRANGE
Talking softly
Perhaps ... I could pull some
strings if you are still up for
telling me the whereabouts of the
batman’s HQ
BANE
replies confident
(MORE)
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 9.
BANE (cont’d)Very Well good doctor.. no funney
business. It is my understanding
that the batman is dead. If this is
true doctor then you are chasing
shadows.
DOCTOR HUGO STRANGE
Honest response
That is a risk I am willing to take
now bane if you please... the
planes. No funny business. I ..
“promise”
BANE
Talking
Bring in my quarter master he has
the information you want good
doctor.
DOCTOR HUGO STRANGE
Seems optimistic
Very Well Bane
SCENE 3 THE QUARTERMASTER
DOCTOR HUGO STRANGE
Strange calls general Christop to bring in Victor to ward 56k ..
General Christop could you please
escort prisoner 2249 to ward 56k
thank you. They Should be arriving
any minute now!
Victor gets transported into ward 56k to give fake plans to
strange.
BANE
Happy response
Awww how good of you to join us
Quarter Master
VICTOR
Happy response
You requested my presence master!
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 10.
BANE
Tells Victor to show strange the fake plans
Yes... Victor Show the good doctor
the infiltration plans to the bat
cave. Explain to him how we found
it when no one else could.
Victor gives the plans to strange and bluffs the
explanation. Victor lays out the plans on the table
DOCTOR HUGO STRANGE
Delighted response
EXCELLENT!! Please Victor if you
will? !!
VICTOR
Talking
As you know Bruce Wayne was a
member of the league of shadows.
DOCTOR HUGO STRANGE
Talking
Yes of course I do...
VICTOR
Tries to bluff his way through the explanation
One of the most common tactics of
the League of Shadows was the
artricality and deception
BANE
Talks right after victor
Powerful agent’s to the non
inishuated... but we are inisuated
Good doctor... Members of the
League of Shadows.
VICTOR
Explaining
This makes the host invisible to
their enemy’s. Bruce Wyane mastered
this effect through the persona of
the batman.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 11.
DOCTOR HUGO STRANGE
Intertested and optimistic
Please continue !!
VICTOR
Explaining
Each devise used by the batman was
inspired by the League of Shadows..
One item in particular in Batman’s
arsenal was the sonic radar device
he used to spy on villains around
Gotham. Emp devices (ecc) Me and
Bane set up a frequency scanner
that leaked us to 10 possible
locations . Each signal with its
unique IP address. If you look hear
doctor you will see the locations
marked.
DOCTOR HUGO STRANGE
suspicion arousal by pointing out whole in their plan
That’s all very fascinating but
with all due respect Victor how did
you know it was the correct 10
signals that leaked you to the
Batman? You might as well have
bin.. “as Bane described chasing
shadows” without some kind of
backup knowledge that lead you to
Him?
BANE
impressed with a hint of sarcasm
Awww excellent question good
doctor. His smarter then he looks
victor. Please Doctor let victor
continue. Go On Now give Him what
he wants.
VICTOR
Bluffing with ease
one out of the ten location’s we
scanned picked up an alien signal
which revealed itself as energy
from the lazerdis pit. Who whatever
was at this location was subjected
to the lazerdis pit’s energy. This
was highly unusual for any normal
(MORE)
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 12.
VICTOR (cont’d)Citizen but for the Batman. And
exception. He is the only one who
could have come in contact with it.
And the only one who defeated RA
SHA GUAL. But little did Bruce no
that it kept him immortal... if you
believe such things doctor.
DOCTOR HUGO STRANGE
Interested
I like to keep an open mind..
fascinating. I must do more
research into the lazardis pit.
BANE
Anxious to get out
Do you understand now good doctor.
Now since our business has been
concluded I expect you will hold
your end of the bargin?
DOCTOR HUGO STRANGE
Srange is happy
Of Course ... a deal is a deal.
Your free to go Bane and you too
Victor... Gentlemen ... we shall
meat again.
CONCLUSION SCENE: THE FIRE WILL RISE AGAIN
BANE
Conclusion dialog with doctor Hugo Strange
I’m counting on it.. You and I,
good Doctor Will, both destroy
Gotham. Just wait and see
Bane and Victor leave the Room to freedom. They are walking
out of Arkham Asylum.
BANE
With curiosity bane asks victor
Did you give him the right page of
planes Victor?
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 13.
VICTOR
Victor replies with a smile and a sence of victory
Of course not!!
BANE
Bane is pleased with Victor
Excellent good work victor! There
is hope for you yet...
VICTOR
Victor is amused
I see you grew some hair?
BANE
Talking
Six months in a cell does that to
you. Victor... remind me in the
near future to destroy this asylum
abomination.
VICTOR
Asks about the whereabouts of the batman and their next move
The fire will raise again my
friend. What of the batman?
BANE
Bane is frustrated and vengeful
The BATMAN was declared dead but I
beg the differ. If he can get out
of that hole then there is no
telling what else he can escape
from. The Fire will Rise Victor.
But for now... we wait. Tomorrow
we’ll get what’s rightfully ours.
