Two dark avengers stand suited, ready to take back the night.

 

BATMAN

Nice suit. And today you are?

 

ROBIN

Nightwing. Scourge of darkest evil.

 

BATMAN

This is all about fashion for you, isn't it?

 

ROBIN

It's the gear. Chicks love the gear.

 

ALFRED steps forward, out of the shadows.

 

ALFRED

Do call if you're going to be late for dinner, sir.

Don't wait up, Al.

Mr. Freeze.

The batcomputer tracks him heading for the Gotham Museum.

 

BATMAN

The new antiquities exhibit. The Second Sun of the Sudan.

Of course. He's going to steal the giant white diamond.

No, Robin. He's going to jail.

A stone and glass palace set on the edge of Gotham's Central Park.

 

 

INT. GOTHAM MUSEUM – NIGHT

 

A GIANT DRILLING TRUCK points up through the rubble of the shattered museum floor.

 

 

WIDER

 

A great hall bearing the skeleton of a mighty brontosaur amongst a myriad of other exotic antiquities. All frozen.

 

HOLD on a GIANT DIAMOND CASE

 

The case begins to glow blue, then white, the shatterproof glass EXPLODING into a thousand flying fragments.

 

RACK IN through the storm of ice and glass, ACROSS the frozen floor, PAST exhibits of Aztec ruins peppered now with three FROZEN GUARDS, UP stone steps of a pyramid altar TO REVEAL...

 

... A silver suited figure stands, bald head visible beneath a helmet, A high-tech bazooka in his hand. MR. FREEZE.

 

FREEZE

The Iceman Cometh.

 

 

WIDER

 

A gang of Thugs in thermal suits, THE ICEMEN, skate to the base of the steps. Two hold a MOANING, shivering GUARD captive.

 

GUARD

Please. Show some mercy.

 

Freeze begins down the altar steps. A SHIMMERING, TERRIFYING GOD.

 

FREEZE

I'm afraid my condition has left me cold to your pleas of mercy.

 

Freeze FIRES his weapon, the beam of cryonic energy engulfing the Guard, turning him to ice.

 

FREEZE

(knocks on the guard's cheek)

Copsicle.

 

Freeze closes, now, on the shattered case.

 

FREEZE

In this universe, there is only one absolute. Everything...

 

Freeze swipes away the shattered glass and steel, from the debris lifts a tremendous diamond.

 

FREEZE

... Freezes.

 

Freeze holds the diamond high over his head, the light hitting the gem like a star.

 

 

THE SKYLIGHT – CLOSE

 

EXPLODES.

 

Batman free-falls into the room, hitting the brontosaurus and sliding down its neck, SMASHING Freeze with his feet, the diamond sliding across the frozen floor.

 

FREEZE

(aiming his pistol)

Bat on ice, anyone?

 

Batman KICKS the pistol high in the air, catches it.

 

BATMAN

Didn't your mother ever tell you not to play with guns?

 

Freeze cartwheels across the room, kicking the gun away from Batman, catching it in mid air.

 

FREEZE

You're not sending me to the cooler.

 

Freeze FIRES. Batman dodges the blast. Freeze takes aim again.

 

 

THE FRONT DOORS – CLOSE

 

BLOW OPEN.

 

Robin, on the Redbird, flies into the room.

 

Batman uses the distraction, flying-kicks the gun into the air.

 

Robin soars over Freeze’s head, kicks the airborne gun to the altar atop the giant pyramid.

 

ROBIN

Score. And the crowd goes wild.

 

Robin lands, laying his bike sideways in a slide, KNOCKING a precious vase into mid air. he grabs a statue, using it to whip around in a dismount.

 

Batman catches the falling vase, replaces it, as Robin skates beside him. The two heroes race for Freeze.

 

FREEZE

Grab the gem. Kill the heroes.

 

MORE INCEMEN in hockey masks, sticks in hand, rush the caped crusaders from both sides.

 

ROBIN

It's the hockey team from hell.

 

Freeze is racing towards the altar and his fallen gun. SIX GUARDS rush in through a side door and swarm the unarmed Freeze. Mistake.

 

Freeze begins wailing on the Guards. It's a straight display of fisticuffs executed with unbelievable speed and precision, hooks, jabs, upper and lower cuts all perfectly delivered, felling the assault force.

 

FREEZE

Cop-suey.

 

He begins racing again for his gun.

 

Batman and Robin begin a martial arts extrordinaire, blocking stick blows, punching and kicking the Icemen.

 

THE GEM lays on the ice behind the wall of advancing ICEMEN.

 

Batman and Robin grab two assailants, slipping between their legs, skates popping out of their boots, as they snatch the Icemen's sticks and trip the villains.

 

Freeze has made it to his gun. He turns, FIRES, creating an ice bridge to the floor.

 

FREEZE

Caution. Bridge may ice over.

 

He slides down the ice bridge to the floor below. Starts racing for his giant drilling truck.

 

Batman begins skating towards Freeze.

 

BATMAN

You get the ice. I'll get the iceman.

 

Robin skates through the Thugs, double sticking, CHECKING them wildly into the boards, reaches  down and scoops up the diamond.

 

ROBIN

Sweet.

 

Freeze is racing towards his truck, Batman closing fast behind him. Freeze spins and FIRES.

 

Batman ducks, using his cape as an ice shield, deflecting the beam into a closing Iceman behind him, freezing the villain solid.

 

Freeze disappears behind the giant brontosaurus.

 

Robin skates into line with Batman, both heading fast for Freeze.

 

ROBIN

(shows the diamond)

I got mine. Where's yours?

 

Freeze FIRES his gun.

 

Freezing the legs of the mighty Brontosaur.

 

FREEZE

What killed the dinosaurs? The ice age.

 

Freeze pushes on the belly of the beast, the mighty creature toppling forward, EXPLODING in front of Batman and Robin.

 

ROBIN

He's definitely extinct.

 

Batman and Robin skate fast to avoid the debris.

 

An ICEMAN flies in from the side, hitting Robin's hand, sending the gem flying free.

 

ANOTHER ICEMAN skates to the gem, HITTING it with his stick, sending the diamond flying up onto the landing by the front doors.

 

Freeze has made it to his truck, is climbing towards the hatch.

 

The Icemen are a rushing wall between the caped crusaders and the gem. Batman and Robin skate toward the villains, pulling flagpoles from a display as if they are about to joust the Icemen.

 

At the last second, Batman and Robin drive their poles into the ice, vaulting over the heads of the Icemen towards the landing and the waiting gem above.

 

Freeze has climbed to the hatch of his vehicle.

 

FREEZE

Hit me boys.

 

Batman and Robin land on the landing inches from the gem. An Iceman skates from the wings, with a SLAPSHOT, sends the diamond flying.

 

 

FREEZE'S GLOVE – CLOSE

 

The diamond HITS. A perfect catch.

 

FREEZE
