His watch like status display shows his power supply. Dangerously low. Auxiliary Power Only.
Freeze opens his sleeve compartments. Empty.
They've confiscated my generator diamonds. I'm running
on empty.
(OVER) the SHOUTS of approaching Guards. The flame of a laser torch begins to cut around
the side of the front door.
Ivy hits the Venom pump. Bane lifts his fists and tries to SHASH the far wall. It doesn't break.
IVY
Not good.
(OVER) the SHOUTS of more Guards coming down the hall. Freeze reaches for his holster.
Empty.
FREEZE
No gun. How disarming.
IVY
I wonder if I can get a cell with a view of the
gardens?
FREEZE
Dear daisy, don't despair.
Freeze walks to a sink set into the cell wall. He turns on the water. Freeze cracks his gauntlet seal, cryo-gas HISSING out.
FREEZE
Always winterize your pipes.
Freeze aims the gas jet at the spigot. PIPES around the room begin to freeze, bulging
with the cold, frozen water within them splitting metal, rushing towards, CRACKING, the stone wall.
EXT. ARKHAM ASYLUM – NIGHT
The wall of Freeze's turreted isolation tower begins to CRACK.
INT. ARKHAM ASYLUM – FREEZE'S CELL
The wall has split apart, revealing the night beyond. Bane, Ivy, and Freeze look down at the rushing river far below.
IVY
I hate heights.
The cell door flies off its hinges.
FREEZE
You'll hate prison more.
The three villains jump.
EXT. ARKHAM ASYLUM – NIGHT
Three tiny figures plummet towards the fast rushing waters below.
INT. WAYNE MANOR – NIGHT – WALKING
Bruce walks with Alfred through the old house, shutting out lights.
BRUCE
Are you well, old friend?
Alfred stops, stares into his charge's eyes, then turns away.
ALFRED
I am as well as can be expected.
BRUCE
Alfred, I know you're sick – I can get you the best
doctors.
ALFRED
I've seen the best doctors! A gentleman does not
discuss his health. It's not civilized. I hope I've taught you at least that
much, young man.
Bruce bites back a bitter smile. He knows better than to push him when he's like this.
BRUCE
Have you ever regretted your life working here,
Alfred?
ALFRED
Attending to heroes? No sir. My Only regret is that I
was never able to be out there with you.
BRUCE
Not all heroes wear masks.
Alfred smiles.
BRUCE
Alfred, if I've never told you... I just want to
say...
ALFRED
Yes?
Bruce looks away, fighting tears, unable to say the words.
BRUCE – POV
Out the window, a young Bruce plays hide and seek with Alfred, the old Butler gone behind a hedge, then back again.
BACK TO SCENE
DICK
(running in)
Freeze has escaped.
OUT THE WINDOW
The Batsignal shines in the night sky.
INT. LIMO – NIGHT
Filled with flowers. Bane sits at the wheel, Ivy and Freeze in back, watching the Snowy Cones Ice Cream Factory, surrounded now by a police perimeter.
FREEZE
My reserves are exhausted. I must have the gems that
power my suit.
IVY
You are looking unseasonably hot. Let's go inside and
grab your rocks.
The Batmobile SCREECHES up. Batman and Robin race inside.
FREEZE
In my weakened state I am no match for the bat and the
bird.
IVY
You leave Batman and Robin to me.
Freeze looks skeptical. Ivy smiles seductively.
IVY
Trust me. Vegetable magnetism.
FREEZE
Fine. While I retrieve my diamonds, you and meatloaf
will bring my wife to your lair. She's frozen in –
IVY
Hold it. You never said anything about a wife, frozen
or otherwise-
Freeze moves fast, grabbing her neck, SMASHING her against the seat back. Bane moves in
but Ivy SHOOS him off with a gesture.
FREEZE
You will rescue my wife
IVY
OK, OK. Ms. Ivy to the rescue. Now where do I find
your brittle bride?
INT. FREEZE'S LAIR
Police tagged and tapped. Batman and Robin examine Freeze’s lab. Commissioner Gordon ENTERS, drops a video disk in a console player.
GORDON
There's no sign he came back here after the escape. We
pulled this off the surveillance cameras at Arkham.
MONITOR – CLOSE
The three villains daring aerial escape. Batman hits a switch. The image of Ivy fills the screen.
ROBIN
She's definitely part of this. It's weird, for a while
Ivy was all I could think about. But then...
BATMAN
I know. The feeling just vanished.
ROBIN
I can't believe we were fighting over a bad guy.
BATMAN
Bad, yes. Guy, no. This is one majorly beautiful evil
person.
ROBIN
I'm totally over her. Positively.
BATMAN
Me too. Great stems, though.
ROBIN
Umm-hmmmm.
BATMAN
Definitely.
Batman has gone to the walk-in freezer. Examines a wall of food. He lifts a frozen oriental dinner. The secret vault swings open.
ROBIN
How did you...?
BATMAN
(off the box)
Open Sesame... Chicken.
INT. FREEZE'S VAULT
Batman and Robin ENTER, examine Nora Fries in her sarcophagus.
BATMAN
She's still alive. He's adapted his freezing
technology to reverse McGregor's Syndrome.
(off a scrolling monitor)
He's even found a cure for the early stages of the
disease.
ROBIN
Can he save her?
BATMAN
No. Her case is too advanced. But maybe, someday, with
more research –
FAIRY-LIKE SPIRALS begin winding through the room. Batman and
Robin, both dazed, follow the dust through a snaking passage, wrench open two
service doors TO REVEAL...
INT. SNOWY CONES FACTORY – INDUSTRIAL BASEMENT
Bane stands atop a staircase overlooking an industrial basement
crisscrossed by catwalks above giant mixing vats and conveyer belts. He hits a
switch, the machinery WHIRRING to life.
BATMAN
No beauty...
ROBIN
Just the beast.
Batman rushes the monster. Bane SIDESWIPES him, sending him flying off the stairs
towards the basement below.
Robin uses Batman's distraction to SMASH into Bane's chest. Robin bounces off,
landing hard atop the landing.
ROBIN
Ouch.
(standing)
Anymore at home like you?
The two begin to fight atop the stairs.
INT. SNOWY CONES ICE CREAM FACTORY
The front doors BLOW open. Gordon and the Cops stare up to face Mr. Freeze, standing atop
the steps.
FREEZE
I hate uninvited guests.
The Cops race up the stairs towards Freeze. He pulls a lever marked COOLANT GAS. VENTS around the room begin to HISS blue freezing
gas.
INT. SNOWY CONES INDUSTRIAL BASEMENT
Batman has landed in a giant ice cream mixer. He rolls clear of the giant stirring arm, flipping out of the vat to face... Poison Ivy. She smiles, blows a handful of dust into his face.
IVY
I must confess, the combination of heroic daring-do
and an anatomically correct rubber suit puts fire in a girl's... lips.
She leans in to kiss him. Batman stares a beat, shakes it off.
BATMAN
Why do all the gorgeous ones have to be homicidal
maniacs? Is it me?
BATMAN – POV
Bane is spinning Robin over his head. Batman races up the steps towards his partner.
INT. SNOWY CONES FACTORY
The Cops are fighting through the HISSING coolant gas towards Freeze at the top of
the stairs. Freeze reaches for another lever.
FREEZE
Why don't you boys slip into something more
comfortable?
THE ICY STEEPS – CLOSE
SNAP into a steep, curving ramp.
Freeze PUNCHES the lead Cop backwards into his shivering cohorts, the police tumbling
in a slipping pile down to the floor below.
INT. INDUSTRIAL BASEMENT – TOP OF STAIRS
Bane hurls Robin down the steps. Batman SMASHES into Bane, both falling off the platform,
taking their fight to a catwalk below.
INT. BASEMENT FLOOR
Robin stands, behind him a giant miller's wheel carries planks of wood through a chopper and back up as pallets of popsicle sticks.
IVY (OVER)
Her pretty birdie.
Robin spins to face Ivy. She blows a pile of dust into his face. She begins advancing, backing him towards the chopper blades.
ROBIN
Give it up. If you threw yourself-
IVY
(leaning in)
At you? Polly want a kiss?
She leans in, lips pursed.
ON THE CATWALK OVERHEAD
Bane's mighty BLOWS back Batman towards the edge of the catwalk.
Robin looks from Ivy to Batman, grabs a strut on the miller's wheel,
the giant cog lifting him up towards the catwalk and his partner.
IVY
I must be losing my touch.
INT. SNOWY CONES FACTORY
Freeze is striding through the mists towards his diamond vault. More
Cops rush him from the HISSING gas.
Freeze moves like lightning, WHIPPING billy clubs from the holsters of two
police, using them like disconnected nunchucks, KNOCKING the cops unconscious in a flurry of SLAMS and JABS.
FREEZE
Stick around.
A COP
hits the wall. Beside him a button reads;
EMERGENCY HEAT. He SLAMS the stud, filaments coming to life, the
room glowing red.
Freeze's watch begins to flash. No power.
Bane kicks Batman off the end of the catwalk as Robin leaps onto the villain. Robin and Bane begin fighting again.
INT. CONVEYOR BELT
Batman lands on his back on a moving belt that is feeding ancient
tubs of ice cream into a clown shaped flash freezer. Ivy jumps atop the caped
crusader, their faces close.
IVY
You bring out the animal in me.
BATMAN
I should have brought my leash.
IVY
Enough sweet talk.
With that Ivy blows another handful of dust into Batman's face. Ivy licks
her lips. Leans in for a kiss.
At the last second, Batman averts his face, wrenching Ivy to the
floor just ahead of the clown's freezing maw.
(mustering all his will)
You're going to jail.
IVY
I'm a lover not a fighter. That's why every Poison Ivy
action figure comes complete with... him.
Bane stands atop a giant storage vat, a dazed Robin hanging in his
hand. Bane tosses the boy aside, slide, feet first, down a conveyer belt and
double fists Batman, CRASHING, into the wall.
IVY
I'm off to find Bachelor Number Two. Try not to make a
mess when you die.
INT. SNOWY CONES ICE CREAM FACTORY
The room is growing even hotter. Freeze stagger towards his diamond
vault, his flesh turning ray.
With his last strength, Freeze wrenches open his safe, filling his
sleeve power compartments with diamonds, his color returning.
Ahh. Chilled to perfection.
Freeze hits his watch, the villain now suddenly encased in ice.
WIDER
The Cops are warming back into action, draw guns, FIRE, bullets bouncing off
Freeze's armor of ice, ricocheting into the walls.
FREEZE
Superman, eat your heart out.
Freeze starts towards his weapons locker.
INT. INDUSTRIAL BASEMENT
Bane SMASHES Batman into the wall. Advances. At the last second, Batman FIRES a Batclub, HITTING Bane in the head stunning him.
BATMAN – POV
Ivy is closing in on Robin.
