My Batman Fan-Script

[lordofthenerds]

Wrote this for a screenwriting class a couple years back. Thought I might as well post it here.

It's basically a mystery thriller with a lot of action. The Riddler is the main villain; a serial killer who puts his victims in deathtraps and leaves a riddle after each kill. Batman uses his detective skills to hunt him down, and enlists the help of a young former drug dealer (Jason Todd) along the way. It also includes Roman Sionis before he becomes the Black Mask as a secondary villain whose family gets killed by the Riddler. It's 114 pages.

Here's the logline: Batman hunts a serial killer who leaves riddles as his modus operandi. http://www.simplyscripts.com/scripts/TheBatman.pdf

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone have any thoughts on this? I've always been pining to see a Riddler done in a sort of Saw-like style, somewhat similar to the one presented in Arkham City.

Here's a poster I tried to put together... with the bulk of it from SwannMadeleine.

I'm finally reading the script, and I have a nitpick about thug 1 leaning on a door, move him a few steps forward so Batman wouldn't thud behind him, or turn around that.

Thanks for reading but I'm not exactly sure what you mean... maybe I should have his ear pressed against the door instead.

"Thug one's back is pressed against the door, Batman thuds right behind him and both thugs see it, thug two can't escape cause the door is locked."

Yeah, maybe letting his ear or shoulder lean on the door would have been better.

I really liked this script ! it was a thriller/action !! I really liked how you introduced Detective Montoya, Bullok, Roman Sionos and Jason Todd. My issues are is that there are no motivations. There is no reasoning to why Riddler kills Mother's and sons,and there is no explanation to what happens to Montoya and Bullok and Roman sionos at the end... I give it a 7/10. I really liked the riddles and the mind games in it and the detective batman we all know and love.
