"BERZERK"
PROLOGUE:
GOTHAM MIDTOWN RESTAURANT - NIGHT:
We see a big dinner in Gotham, the place is packed.
A police officer enters through the door, wanting a quick
snack.
He goes over to the counter, and sits. Putting his hat next
to him in the table.
The waitress, MARY goes over to take his order.
MARY
Hello, officer. What do you want for
today? The usual?
OFFICER
Yep. What's all the noise about
Fourth Avenue?
MARY
Fourth Avenue? Oh yeah, don't you
insane.
Then he looks over at the other side of the restaurant, in
the last booth, a man with no shirt, and veins all around
his chest, and he looks around with his red eye and black
pupils, foam coming out from his mouth.
The police officer gets his gun, and slowly walks over to
the deranged man.
OFFICER
PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK!
Right now!
Then, the derange man, throws the gun away, and throws the
officer down, breaking the table, and killing him. Then his
arms fall off, with blood and guts everywhere and he falls
down on the floor, and smiles.
Then, LAUGHS....
BATMAN
You're coming with me.
ARKHAM FLOOR - HALLWAY:
We see the door broken down, and Batman coming out of it,
and the Joker in front of him, with handcuffs and Batman
holding him hostage, and taking him.
BATMAN (CONT'D)
They've all escaped.
JOKER
Waken up in a bad mood, Bats.
BATMAN
Shut the hell up.
JOKER
Y'know, a joke can bring such joy to
the table. Make them drop tears of
happiness, but when the joke is BAD,
then people will get angry...and
violent.
BATMAN
I said SHUT UP!
JOKER
Maybe the cold hearted people never
got the joke, but i am sure you got
it, Bats.
Then, Batman notices the big door at the end of the hallway,
and opens it. We see the Arkham main floor. With the place
looking post-apocalyptic.
JOKER (CONT'D)
See? All in good fun.
Then, Batman throws the Joker down, after he PUNCHES him.
Then, the monitor from his arm-pad comes on and it's ORACLE.
ORACLE
Batman? What happened?
BATMAN
The scumbag activated the first bomb.
Main floor is a garbage ridden
utopia.
ORACLE
Jesus. What-What-How's my father?
BATMAN
He's been beaten by some of Joker's
men- i stopped them, Jim is safe.
ORACLE
Thank god.
BATMAN
Contact Robin, make sure he is ready.
Also, leave a message to the GCPD, to
take back Arkham.
ORACLE
Will do. Be careful, Batman.
Then Batman shuts off the monitor.
JOKER
Hit me pretty badly, Bats.
BATMAN
You deserve every bit of pain.
Then, Batman takes the Joker and jumps straight into the
main floor, and LANDS.
He sees from the corners, that crazy and loose inmates are
lurking in the background.
Then, Batman throws a grenade, which explodes and blows the
inmates away.
JOKER
Are we feeling a little violent,
Batsy? HHAHA!
BATMAN
Where did you hide the bombs.
JOKER
Oh, come on, Bats. Don't ruin the fun
before it begins.
Then, Batman punches Joker, his head feeling dizzy.
BATMAN
Where are they?
JOKER
Their purpose is hidden, Batman.
BATMAN
WHERE ARE THEY?!
JOKER
Fine. Let me guide you. I am worried
you might get lost on the way.
DARK ROOM- ARKHAM - LATER:
We see a dark room and then The Joker attacks Batman with a
stool he finds, then Batman falls down.
Joker keeps KICKING him, then Batman faints.
DARK ROOM - ARKHAM - AFTER:
We get back at Batman and the Joker, Batman is tied into a
chair.
And the Joker is setting up a projector.
BATMAN
What the hell?
JOKER
Welcome, Batman! Want to see my show?
I can deal with all criticism,
really. But the mean ones are just
plain mean. Hope you're not mean,
Bats.
BATMAN
What the hell do you think you're
doing?
JOKER
Remember your sidekick. I mean, your
previous sidekick.
BATMAN
BASTARD!!
JOKER
JOKER
Come on, open your mouth, boy.
JASON
(Angry)
Bat...man.
JOKER
FANTASTIC!
Then, Joker (in the tape) turns to Batman, who's watching
the tape, and SCREAMS and LAUGHS!
JOKER (TAPE)
See that, Bats? He's mine..MINE,
MINE!
Then, he turns to Jason.
JOKER (TAPE) (CONT'D)
Look, Jason. What do you want to say
to the big bad Bat?
JASON
You left me. To die. I will never
forgive you. NEVER! Remember this day
asThen, Joker SHOOTS Jason in the head, blood FILLING up the
wall, behind him.
Then Joker shuts the camera.
The tape goes off, and Batman looks down, lost and sad.
JOKER
What's the matter, Bats? Did the film
resonate with you?
Then, Joker tapes the tape out, and throws it at Batman's
face, like a man throwing a dog a small bone.
JOKER (CONT'D)
Come on, let pasts be pasts. Right?
Then, Batman, cuts the ropes off the chair, and attacks
Joker and throws him to the floor and then Harley attacks
him with a bat, and he falls on the floor, too. Then, he
stands up and knees Harley, and then PUNCH the Joker,
REPEATEADLY.
Then, the Joker speaks, with blood all over his face.
JOKER (CONT'D)
Come on, don't let the job
unfinished.
Then, Batman stands up and looks over at Joker.
BATMAN
One day...one day. I will put my hand
over your throat and hold. Till' you
put your last breath. Nothing would
make me happier.
JOKER
Good to hear.
Then, Batman calls Oracle. Then, the monitor shows up, and
it's ORACLE.
BATMAN
Oracle, inform the Gotham Police, i
got the Joker. Arkham is compromised.
Send a message to the police, to take
the Joker in.
Then, Batman leaves the room, and uses the grappling hook to
leave through the roof.
END.
