Ivy lifts the Welcome to Gotham Bauble in her hand.
Bane, I've found a fellow who strikes my fancy. A cool
customer, yes. Icy demeanor, no question. But I detect a certain ruthless charm
I may be able to use to my advantage.
(off the dead thugs)
INT. WAYNE MANOR – LIVING ROOM – NIGHT
Candlelit. A table set for two. Alfred fills Bruce's wine goblet, walks away. His forehead beads with sweat. A man hiding pain.
BRUCE – POV
Across the table sits Ivy. She licks her lips.
IVY
Bruce?
Bruce blinks. Looks again. Not Ivy at all but Julie.
JULIE
You're not even listening to me.
BRUCE
What? I'm sorry. You were saying...
JULIE
We've been going out over a year now and... Okay, here
goes. Bruce, I want to spend my life with you.
Ivy saunters up behind Bruce, runs her hands down his chest. Bruce rises, shaking off the vision. Goes over to Julie.
BRUCE
Julie, I'm not the marrying kind. There are things
about me you wouldn't understand.
JULIE
I know you're a dedicated bachelor. That you've had a
your wild nights.
BRUCE
Wild doesn't exactly cover it.
JULIE
But there's nothing you've done under the cover of
darkness I couldn't learn to understand.
BRUCE
I wouldn't bet on that.
JULIE
I'm betting on you. You'll make someone a good husband
one day. But I can't wait around forever. Don't answer now. Just think it over.
(leaning close)
Here's some food for thought.
They kiss passionately. Bruce opens his eyes. He's kissing Ivy. He recoils. But it's only Julie before him, looking up, puzzled.
JULIE
Who's Ivy?
BRUCE
What?
JULIE
You just called me Ivy. Who's Ivy?
BRUCE
I wish I knew.
INT. BATCAVE – ROBIN'S COSTUME VAULT – NIGHT
(OVER) loud MUSIC. Various magazine covers of Robin. Dick is at his computer terminal,
staring at a monitor.
MONITOR – CLOSE
A newsphoto of the flower ball survivors.
DICK
Enhance detail, 14 to 19.
A corner of the screen is highlighted, the IMAGE expands. Ivy.
DICK
Who are you?
(OVER) an ALARM SOUNDS. The screen suddenly changes to an IMAGE of Barbara climbing out of her window, rappelling down an exterior
wall.
COMPUTER
Alert! Unauthorized motion within specified
parameters.
DICK
Got ya!
Dick is up fast, heading for the door.
INT. WAYNE MANOR GARAGE – NIGHT – MINUTES LATER
Barbara has donned her leathers once again. She mounts the
competition bike. Kick-starts the ENGINE, peeling out into the night.
Dick rolls another racer out of hiding in the shadows. Pulls on his
racking helmet. He kicks his ENGINE and starts after her.
EXT. GOTHAM ALLEY – NIGHT
Groups of motorcycle gangs have gathered. Each is represented by a single
racer. Leather clad. Costumed. Dyed hair. Pierced faces. Boys and girls for
whom speed is a drug, the streets their home.
Barbara pulls up her bike. A rider (BANKER) looks her up and down.
BARBARA
What's the entry fee?
BANKER
Two-fifty.
Barbara nods, hands the cash. Another biker (SPIKE) steps forward.
SPIKE
You got a handle?
BARBARA
Folks call me Three-Jump.
SPIKE
You're the babe won the tunnel run two nights ago.
That was trike racing. This is the big time. Maybe you should ride my hog
instead.
Barbara smiles.
BARBARA
How about a side bet?
As Spike and Barbara move in line beside the other racers, another
helmeted racer emerges from the shadows to pay his entry fee. His face hidden
by his helmet, Barbara can't see that it's Dick.
The racers, all helmeted, are in their starting positions. Engines
are REVVED.
Banker raises a pistol in the air and FIRES.
Bikers SHOOT into the street. Some go over the tops of cars, others across the tops
of stoops. Barbara watches as a biker beside her careens into an EXPLODING pile of trash cans.
Two bikers are going neck and neck towards a racing truck. They
split at the last instant, fly up off parked cars, then hit the ground, one SPINNING OUT, the other taking
a position at the front of the pack.
Barbara, Spike, two others hold the lead, leaving the rest in the
dust. One of the bikers hits an oil skid, flies into a FIREBALL.
THE FINISH LINE is a series of flashing yellow warning
beacons atop the incomplete construction of a draw-bridge in the near distance.
The race is down to three, Barbara, Spike and a third biker, all
racing now onto the bridge, riveted steel beneath their wheels.
THE FINISH LINE is coming up fast, and just beyond the line of flashing cones, an abyss separating the two as yet unconnected sides of the bridge. The trick is to cross the finish line first, but not so fast you can't brake before going over the edge into the water below.
Spike is trying to keep up. But he's coming up on the finish line
too fast for his taste.
SPIKE
Crazy broad.
He hits his BRAKES, slowing, falling out of position. Barbara looks across to see the
racer on the other side. Barbara can't see his face, but it's Dick.
The finish line is coming up fast. Instead of braking, both GUN their ENGINES.
THE FINISH LINE – CLOSE
Barbara flies over the line, Dick a hair behind her, and then both
shoot over the edge
of the unfinished bridge, into the air, soaring high above the
abyss.
Dick's front wheel hits the metal roadway on the other side of the
gap, spinning rubber catching steel.
Barbara's front wheel hits the edge badly, rolling backward.
Dick spins over his shoulder, sees what's happening. Barbara's bike
is losing purchase, slipping backwards over the edge.
Dick ditches his still moving bike and helmet, rolling off on tucked
shoulder, leaping towards the edge as Barbara’s bike finally slips, she and her
hog tumbling downwards into the abyss.
Dick's jump sends him over the edge, hands extended, feet catching
the lip of the bridge, hand grabbing Barbara's ankle, her bike plummeting
beneath her as her helmet falls into the water below.
Dick hangs by one foot, holding a dangling Barbara by her ankle.
So, this is where you hang out.
EXT. GOTHAM BRIDGE – NIGHT
Barbara stands in the background receiving her winnings from Banker and Spike. Dick rights his bike as she approaches.
BARBARA
I could have made it, you know. I didn't need your
help.
DICK
Whatever you say, lady. It's all in a day's work for
me.
Barbara tries to hand Dick her winnings.
BARBARA
This is to replace the bike I lost. I'll get you the
rest.
DICK
Keep it.
BARBARA
Of course, Dick Grayson, ward of the fabulously
wealthy Bruce Wayne. Why would you need a few hundred dollars?
DICK
Hey, what's your problem?
BARBARA
I guess, the truth is I'm just not comfortable with
the idle rich. Even when they try to act like heroes.
Dick pats the back of his seat.
DICK
Well you better get comfortable real fast, sister.
Cause we've only got one bike and it's a long walk home.
INT. WAYNE MANOR – GARAGE
Dick and Barbara dismount.
BARBARA
I started racing after my parents died. There was
something about the speed, the danger, that took me out of myself, that made
the hurt go away. You wouldn't understand.
DICK
You'd be surprised.
BARBARA
Street racing isn't exactly an acceptable major at
Oxbridge. They kicked me out. it doesn't matter. I've won enough money to do
what I've always dreamed.
DICK
Just don't tell me you're hoping to run away and join
the circus.
They head towards the entrance tot he house.
BARBARA
Alfred has supported me my whole life. Now I'm going
to pay him back. I'm going to liberate him from his dismal life of servitude.
DICK
What are you talking about?
BARBARA
Servants, Masters, it's ridiculous. Alfred is the sweetest, most noble man alive and
he's subjugated all his life and dreams to someone else.
INT. WAYNE MANOR – FOYER – WALKING – CONTINUOUS
DICK
Alfred and Bruce are like family.
BARBARA
Paying someone to prepare your meals and do your
laundry and clean your dishes, you call that family?
DICK
Alfred's happy here.
BARBARA
Happy.
(a beat)
You honestly don't know, do you? You can't even see
what's in front of your own eyes.
They've reached the main stair. Dick stares at her puzzled.
BARBARA
Look at his skin. At how he's hiding the pain all the
time. Can't you see it? Alfred's sick.
And with that, Barbara disappears upstairs. Dick stares after her.
BRUCE (OVER)
Alfred’s not sick.
Bruce steps from the shadows. Sits now at the foot of the steps.
BRUCE
He's dying. And I can't deal with it.
DICK
But he's never said a word.
BRUCE
You know Alfred. He'd never say Anything. But I can
tell. Until you came along, Alfred was the only family I ever had. Without him,
I don't know how I would have survived. He saved my life, Dick. And I've never
told him.
DICK
Talk to him, Bruce. There's nothing worse than losing
someone without telling them how you feel.
BRUCE
I'm scared, Dick. Maybe for the first time in my life.
I'm really scared.
INT. ARCKHAM ASYLUM – FREEZE'S CELL – NIGHT
Freeze stands within the anti-thermic field, crafting a tiny ice sculpture of his wife. He lifts the miniature gearworks from an alarm clock, places the ice sculpture atop of it, the statuette beginning to turn. He covers the figure with a drinking glass.
GUARD (OVER)
Hey Icehead, you got a visitor.
WIDER
A GUARD stands by the door.
GUARD
Your sister's here to see you.
FREEZE – CLOSE
Puzzled.
FREEZE
(to himself)
Sister?
The Second Guard ENTERS, followed by a woman in a cloak. None other
than Poison ivy.
INT. ARKHAM LOCK-UP – NIGHT
A tiny basement room with a single barred window where prisoner's
effects are kept. Mannequins display familiar costumes, Joker's, Riddler's,
Freeze's.
A GUARD sits against the wall, watching TV. Suddenly two fists SMASH through the cement wall and grab the chair,
wrenching the seated Guard through the wall in a storm of dust.
Bane ENTERS, walks to Freeze's suit.
INT. FREEZE'S CELL
The two Guards stand by the console as the door seals behind Pam.
GUARD
Don't mind us, ma'am. You can converse freely.
But Pam isn't interested in Freeze, instead walks to the Guards.
PAMELA
Oh, I don't mind you at all.
Pam begins a saunter around the room, shedding her cloak to reveal her skintight Ivy costume.
PAMELA
You're not that attractive. Pretty average I'd say.
But your fantasies aren't average, are they?
INT. ARKHAM HALLWAY – HALLWAY
(OVER) ALARMS. Bane, rolling Freeze's suit in a shopping
cart, barrels down the hallway, KNOCKING
Guards and Doctors into walls.
INT. FREEZE'S CELL
Pam's saunter has brought her back to the two mesmerized Guards.
IVY
Men. The most absurd of all God’s creatures. We give
you life and we can take it back just as easily.
She holds one Guard's chin in each hand. Leans in to kiss them.
IVY
What if I told you one kiss from me would kill you?
GUARD
Right.
GUARD #2
Whatever.
IVY
I really am to die for.
She kisses first one, then the other. They CHOKE, fall. Dead.
FREEZE
Impressive.
IVY
Well, I, my most unabominable snowman, have been
impressed by you. In fact I propose a pairing. So I'm here to set you free.
FREEZE
An enticing offer. But what does the lady want in
return?
IVY
Let's cool it for now. There's someone I want you to
meet.
Ivy presses a button and the door slides open. Bane runs in, wheeling Freeze's suit. Ivy seals the door behind him.
FREEZE
Ah, a laundry service that delivers.
Bane rolls the cart across the cryonic field. Freeze begins to dress.
IVY
I love that belt. What are you, about a fifty Big and
Tall?
FREEZE
I always go a size smaller. Makes me look slimmer.
FREEZE – POV
