You dont know how hard this was...but its gonna happen. im just sitting, counting the days till another leak.

but here it is!!!

To set it, this script is Batman vs. The Joker plain and simple. He IS the villain, and has just as much depth of Bruce/Batman. I can see why they chose Ledger over a guy like Bettany. He is physical as well a smental and proves more thren enough of a challenge for Gotham and co. Also, bare warning-This script, like Begins, in a very complicated manner, uses flashbacks to establish characters and what has happened. The flashbacks completely die out in the second half, which like Begins, shifts from set up to action in a very big way.

The Script opens predictably in downtown Gotham with a cool little possible homage to Batman 1989 with Batman foiling a mugging of a family by two thugs, only this is more violent and the people witness as they are going to die. After the battle, we follow Batman to the batmobile. We fllow his stealth ride back to what is now a fixed up Wayne Manor. He takes of his mask, talks with alfred, and heads inside. Once inside, we meet someone i sure as did not expect-a pre-catwoman selina kyle. This is Bruce's new girlfriend, and shes a huge character in this script. It's evident their madly in love-no mention of rachel yet-and we fade out. We quickly zone one trailing two cop squad cars in a high speed chase in downtown gotham, around 2 A.M., chasing a large Hum-vee, which tanks through everything in sight-even people! It takes very little time to find out this is the "Joker suspect" the cops have been after for months. The car rolls into a tight alley and dissappears. The cops spot a lone open door and go to it in cover formation, one cop kicking it open-suddenly from the windows in the alley, green gas oozes out. Within seconds the men are on thre ground, dead. We see the Joker's shiny black shoes and dark purple legs, and hear a slight snicker.
Back at Wayne Manor, Bruce Wayne is asleep, having a terrible nightmare. We see RACHEL DAWES in his dream, we see her get SHOT. Bruce awakens-it was a nightmare. It is evident he is still very much in love with Rachel, too.

I'll be back to finish it up, I have to run for now!
 
Too soapy for me and I had Anakin flashbacks dreaming of Padme in peril.
Thanks anyway.
 
i don't know amigo.....lets hope what you were "fed" is not something to keep us away from the real material. We'll see.....:whatever:
 
Yeah I don't buy this.

But this guy Apollo87 is always coming in claiming to have access to exclusive information and he seems to be generally full of rodent dung.

I suggest a breath-mint.
 
well why does Mirandas info sound more credible than Apollo's?? Both could be utter crap or can just bge the orginal treatment. Much will change from that original treatment from Goyer and Nolan....thats for sure.
 
If that's legit, I think it sucks. And I will be heavily dissapointed in TDK.
 
It's because Miranda found something cool and wanted to share, while Apollo is just full of it.

I'm not looking to much into either report as far as credibility. I'll wait and see....

I didn't say that what she found was true. I just said it was cool, and she wouldn't have shared it if it wasn't cool. Whereas Apollo is just trying to make himself feel important.
 
Believe it when I see it. I believe Jett from Batman-On-Film.com and Lationreview.com or Aintitcool.com than this guy.
 
Sounds like it was written by a twelve year old. Fake, fake, mega fake.
 
Apollo left out the part where Bruce goes upstairs to have dinner with Selina ... and they have BURRITOS.

Ahh, don't worry about num-nums, he's just here to be a laugh riot anyway.

Yeah, I wasn't saying it to be mean spirited, just about this time in movie productions people start saying how they have read the scripts and what not, and rarely are they telling the truth. Maybe he has read it, maybe he hasn't, I will just as soon be mean spirited about anyone claiming to have read the script unless they have some cred. But if someone gives a review like the lad who made this thread, I will certianly share my opinion with it, cause it is at least an angle to think about sometimes
 
what he's saying is true guys...



...my uncle knows a guy that works at Warner Brothers as a janitor that was able to talk to the receptionist there. She's close with one of the security guards who was able to grab some screenshots with a security camera of the script lying on a table.


TRUE STORY!!!

Sounds very good. I like it. Catwoman ? shooting of Rachel Dawes as a dream, very cool. Thank you. Looks like the action will be good.
