Freeze drops into the cab of his giant drilling truck. The hatch starts to slide closed.
BATMAN
Round up the thugs. I'll get Freeze.
Batman leaps onto the banister, slides standing down the rail and jumps, dropping into the closing hatch after Freeze.
INT. DRILLING TRUCK – CONTROL CAPSULE
A bank of control panels are set inside the giant glass head of the drill. Batman falls in to find Freeze standing at the main console.
BATMAN
Stop the insanity.
FREEZE
Nice of you to drop in.
Freeze hits a button. A tremendous ROAR.
INT. MUSEUM
The capsule, set on the end of an ejection cylinder, BLASTS out of the drilling
truck, rising like a rocket towards the roof.
Robin jumps on another banister, slides down, grabs a banner and
swings himself onto the side of the cylinder, clutching a porthole ledge and
hanging fast.
EXT. GOTHAM MUSEUM
The capsule BLOWS through the top of the museum, ROCKETING towards the starry night sky above.
ZOOM IN
Robin clings to the side of the rocket for dear life.
INT. CAPSULE
Batman is thrown to the floor by the powerful acceleration. Freeze stays upright, protected by his mighty suit.
BATMAN
You were a great scientist once. Don't squander your
genius on evil.
FREEZE
I hate being lectured.
Freeze throws Batman, hard, into the bulkhead, uses his pistol, to Freeze Batman's ankles and wrists to the wall in chunks of ice.
FREEZE
Watch the numbers, Batman. For they are the harbingers
of your doom.
ALTIMETER CLOSE
10,000 feet and climbing fast.
FREEZE
Can you feel it coming? The icy cold of space. At
30,000 feet your heart will freeze and beat no more.
THE ALTIMETER CLOSE
15,000 feet and rising.
EXT. CAPSULE
Robin has climbed onto the nose-cone. Is struggling against the acceleration, using bat-magnets to crawl towards the escape hatch.
INT. CAPSULE
Freeze steps into a glide-wing backpack mounted on the wall.
FREEZE
After you have frozen, your icy tomb will plummet back
to Gotham.
BATMAN
Freeze, you're mad. This capsule will slaughter
thousands.
Freeze releases the door behind him, the sky WHIPPING past beyond.
FREEZE
Ain't it grand? Freeze well.
Freeze leaps out into the night.
EXT. NIGHT SKY
Freeze begins to plummet towards the lights of Gotham below.
FREEZE'S BACKPACK – CLOSE
A sleek wing extends from its housing. Freeze angles himself downward in mid air, using his glide wing to control his fast flight towards the distant city.
INT. CAPSULE
The controls, the glass nose-cone, the capsule itself are all frosting over. The hatch opens. Robin drops in.
ROBIN
I was just hanging around.
BATMAN
I thought you were going to stay in the museum and
round up the thugs.
ROBIN
How about, nice to see you? Glad you're here to save
my life.
Robin pulls a laser from his utility belt, FLASH MELTS one of his
ice-shackles.
BATMAN
When we get home, we're having a little communication
workshop.
Robin FLASH METLS the other ice gauntlet. Batman is free.
ROBIN
Is it cold in here or is it just me?
ALTIMETER – CLOSE
20,000 and rising. Ice is forming everywhere.
BATMAN
Got to make sure this rocket doesn't turn Gotham into
a crater.
Batman whips a bat-shaped charge, throws it onto the ceiling. An armed light on the charge flashes green.
ROBIN
Now what? We call a taxi?
Batman grabs a handle marked "CAUTION: EXPLOSIVE BOLTS". Robin smiles, grabs a similar handle on the opposing metal door.
BATMAN
Watch the first step.
ROBIN
Surf's up.
Both pull the release handles, leaping onto the capsule doors as the
EXPLOSIVE
bolts BLOW them into space.
THE BATCHARGE LIGHT – CLOSE
Goes red.
EXT. NIGHT SKY – FALLING
As the capsule EXPLODES above them raining falling debris, Batman
and Robin skyboard on the doors down towards...
Freeze is ROCKETING to earth, the diamond in his hand.
Batman and Robin race towards Freeze and the city below.
The caped crusaders avoid skyscraper turrets and elevated bridges as
they follow in Freeze's wake.
Batman swoops down above the villain, pushing off his skyboard,
grabbing Freeze around the neck, the diamond flying into mid air.
Robin maneuvers in a grand flip, grabs the falling gem.
Freeze releases his glide pack buckle, dislodging Batman, the hero
and the glide pack spinning away from Freeze.
Batman dumps the glide pack, arcs back into his rushing drop.
Freeze is descending fast towards the giant smoking chimney of a
towering industrial complex. He aims his gun at the smoking toward and FIRES, the fast maw quickly
covering with snow.
Freeze plummets into the snowy chimney.
Batman and Robin drop into the ice shaft after the villain.
Freeze FIRES his gun as he falls, slowing his descent by turning the chimney into a
madly snaking tunnel of ice before him.
Batman and Robin tumble head first through layers of snow after the
villain. They pull their
Batgrapples and FIRE.
BATGRAPPLES – CLOSE
Hit the wall. Catch.
Batman and Robin use their tethers to slow their descent, landing
hard in...
INT. INDUSTRIAL BASEMENT
ROBIN
Cool. Can we do that again?
Batman and Robin race towards Freeze who is fleeing down the other end
of the corridor. he points his gun at the ceiling. FIRES.
The sprinkler system pipes EXPLODE, forming a mighty, intense blizzard in the
wind-tunnel.
BATMAN
Sudden temperature drop. Watch out for the...
A blast of wind ROARS down the tunnel, SLAMMING the doors, sending snow and ice whipping
towards them
BATMAN
Wind.
Batman and Robin WHIP their capes over their faces, push forward,
fighting the storm, going through the doors one by one.
INT. BOILER ROOM
Frozen. At the terminus of the tunnel. A frozen boiler stands in the
center of the icy moat of the building's INTERNAL
RESERVOIR. The door swings open, Batman
pushing inside.
Freeze flies from behind the door, SLAMMING the metal portal hard into Batman's face.
Batman tumbles forward.
Freeze raises his gun. Another figure leaps in from the hallway,
going for Freeze. Robin.
Freeze FIRES, turning the boy into a frozen sculpture of ice. He plucks the diamond
from his icy hand.
EXT. CROSS SECTION OF GOTHAM CITY-VFX
A schematic map of Gotham. Freeze's vehicle burrows underneath the city, freezing the firmament in its path and clearing away the debris, heading towards the boiler room.
INT. BOILER ROOM
(OVER) a RUMBLING.
Suddenly the wall EXPLODES. Freeze's drilling truck appears in the
clearing smoke.
FREEZE
Can you be cold, Batman? You have eleven minutes to
thaw the bird. What will you do, chase the villain or save the boy?
Freeze leaps onto the giant vehicle.
FREEZE
Your emotions make you weak. That is why this day is
mine.
(smile)
Stay cool, bats.
And Freeze is gone, sealing the tunnel hole after him with a blast
of ice, clearing the frosted pane to wave goodbye.
Batman moves fast to the boy wonder, touches his frozen skin. He
whips out his bat-laser, points at the icy reservoir and FIRES.
THE RESERVOIR – CLOSE
The frozen water melts, begins to SIMMER.
The caped crusader immerses Robin in the steaming sea.
Under the water, the boy's face is perfectly still.
A long beat. Then Robin's head breaks the surface. COUGHING. Alive
ROBIN
Did we get him?
EXT. SOUTH AMERICAN RAIN FOREST – NIGHT
(OVER) THUNDER. Lighting flashes on a maze of tends and tarpaulins affixed to the
ruins of a decaying PRISON MORTE. A
"FOR SALE OR LEASE" sign is illuminated by the storm.
SCREEN READS:
"Meanwhile, somewhere in the South American Jungle..."
INT. TENTED GREENHOUSE LAB – NIGHT
Bunsen Burners flicker. Beakers BUBBLE. Martha Stewart does Fankenstein.
PAMELA ISLEY, lovely features hidden by a glasses and
bad hair, shape obscured by her lab coat, TALKS into a cylindrical micro-recorder.
PAMELA
I still have high hopes for the animal plant
cross-breedings
Pam surveys the two lab tables. One table is a mass of plants. The other
is covered with tanks of spiders, snakes and scorpions. Tubes run from the
lethal beasts into a jar of milky fluid labeled VENOM.
More tubes run from the Venom jar into the plants. One plant
twitches as it receives the toxins.
PAMELA
If I can only find the correct dose of Venom, these
plants will be able to fight back like animals. I will have given flora a
chance against the thoughtless ravages of man.
(OVER) An agonized SCREAM. Terrified, Pam walks towards the source of the WAILS, a gothic prison door to which the tent is
affixed. The portal is marked: PROJECT GILGAMESH.
PAMELA
Personal note: my work would proceed faster if Dr.
Woodrue weren't always whisking my Venom samples back to his mysterious Gilgamesh
Wing. Why won't he let me into his lab?
(OVER) Another blood-curdling SCREAM. Pam turns off the recorder.
PAM
What is he doing in there?
Just then the door opens, a startled Pam dropping her recorder as
lightning flashes and DOCTOR JASON WOODRUE ENTERS. Einstein's hair. Manson's eyes.
Dr. Isley, loveliest flower in our garden. How fare
our little wards?
Woodrue moves in, too close, backing Pam against her worktable, his face inches from hers. He spots the jar of Venom.
WOODRUE
What do we have here? A lovely new supply of Venom.
(lifts the jar)
I'll just take this to my laboratory for further
study.
PAMELA
What exactly are you working on in there? What are
those screams?
A bright flash of lightning. Woodrue advances on Pam.
How I'd love to share my secrets with you. But I ask
you, sweet sapling, can you be trusted? You refuse my invitations to dine. You
hide your honeyed buds behind these sallow robes.
(OVER) More lightning and ever more deafening THUNDER.
WOODRUE
Ah, but there's romance in the air tonight. Perhaps a
moonlit stroll in the jungle. And then, later, in the dark, we can share
everything.
Woodrue has her up against the wall, his twitching lips only inches
from hers. Pam winces, manages to step away.
(OVER) another SCREAM.
You have to tell me what you're doing with my Venom.
WOODRUE
(nasty)
You must show me your secrets, blossom, before I show
you mine.
Pam watches him leave. As the door to the Gilgamesh wing swings closed, Pam kicks her fallen recorder, the metal cylinder rolling between door and jamb, keeping the entrance from sealing.
INT. LABS – GILGAMESH SECTION – WALKING
Pam steals through the crumbling hallway of the abandoned prison
following the SCREAMS (OVER) as they grow ever LOUDER.
INT. LABS – GILGAMESH CHAMBER
Banks of flashing SuperCrays. A gurney is surrounded by SPARKING and HUMMING equipment. Frankenstein meets Frankenstein.
Woodrue emerges from the shadows, a portable phone in hand.
WOODRUE
Ladies and gentlemen of the un-United Nations.
(into the phone)
And our mystery bidder.
PULL BACK TO REVEAL
A small bridge arcs over the room. An AMERICAN
GENERAL, a RUSSIAN COMMISSAR, a SHEIK, and a DICTATOR all watch on
from above.
WOODRUE
I give you the future of military conquest.
A scrawny PRISONER in a too-large tank suit is dragged into the room by several
gun-toting CAPOS and shackled to the
gurney. His bald skull is adorned with three surgically implanted ducts.
WOODRUE
May I present Antonio Diego, serial murderer serving life
in prison and sole surviving volunteer.
Diego SPITS.
WOODRUE
And what a charmer he is.
WIDER
Pam slips in, unseen, hides behind a stack of circuit boxes, watching on as Woodrue lifts the jar of milky Venom.
WOODRUE
The super solder serum, code named Venom, patent
pending of course.
Woodrue pours the venom into a high-tech injector pack strapped to the back of the gurney. He lifts an open-front black and white mask attached by snaking tubes to the injector pack.
WOODRUE
Notice the hassle free zipper.
