蝙蝠侠：元年 Batman: Year One Movie Script

BRUCE:

I don't want her for that.

CHI-CHI Yeah? That's not what it looked like the other night. You guys got a little carried away with your games, huh?

BRUCE:

You were THERE? You let her get away?

CHI-CHI (fingers his cheek) Yeah she got away but they'll find her. She'll fry for killing that cop.

BRUCE:

(grabs CHI-CHI) You're going to help me find her.

Instantly CHI-CHI stabs at BRUCE with the switchblade. BRUCE floats to the side and stomps on the pimp's knee —

CRUNCH:

— bending it in a way knees were never meant to bend. The PIMP writhes in pain on the ground — CHI-CHI You psycho! I know you. I've seen your face, man, you can't hide BRUCE walks away — BRUCE (V.O.) And so it begins. I will not let you down. Your loving son, Bruce.

He's got a new spring in his step.

ON THE TV — CHANNEL ONE EYEWITNESS NEWS runs a Special Report. THE ANCHORMAN delivers his lines under the title 'SUPER COP'.

ANCHOR, BRIAN Detective James Gordon wowed the city of Gotham by single-handedly rescuing a small child from the hands of an escaped mental patient and possible avoiding needless bloodshed and mayhem at the hands of this city's notoriously violent SWAT team. His comments to the press highlighted a growing rift between various departments within the police force. He hinted at charges of police corruption and promised to wage a one-man war on crime. I don't know about you Sandy, but this reporter finds such straight talk very refreshing.

CO-ANCHOR JANE Indeed Brian. Now let's take a look at sports — We pull back WIDER to see the TV plays in — INT. GORDON'S APARTMENT - EVENING GORDON and ANN are watching on the sofa. ANN is stunned.

ANN:

This is a big deal. They're going to want you on talk shows, you know? You're going to need a new suit.

GORDON:

(laughing) Let's go celebrate!

ANN:

Honey, we can't. It's late, we've already eaten.

GORDON:

Then, let's get a drink.

ANN(LAUGHS) Jim! Hello? I'm with child.

GORDON:

Oh, sorry. Right. Then dinner, Friday. How's La Bonne Maison sound?

ANN:

Ooh, Fancy. It's a date.

ANN pulls her husband down on top herself, kissing him.

INT. BRUCB WAYNE'S APARTMENT - NIGHT The TV NEWS plays in the back ground as BRUCE applies a fake scar onto his cheek.

BRUCE(V.O.) November 8. Dear Father, the pimp knew my face. A distracting scar will hopefully mask my identity.

BRUCE puts on the overcoat and wide-brimmed, concealing hat.

BRUCE (V.O.) (CONT'D) Tonight I begin your revenge. I will rid this city of its cancer. I will draw the scum to me and make them pay.

BRUCE hold up his FIST and on it — BRUCE (CONT'D) Father, tonight I am declaring war! Your loving son, Bruce.

— HIS FATHER'S SIGNET RING.
