蝙蝠侠:元年 Batman: Year One Movie Script

杰瑞发布于2022-10-25

《蝙蝠侠:元年》原著漫画于1988年首次发表,作者弗兰克·米勒开创性地再造了蝙蝠侠的起源故事——他是什么人,他如何成为蝙蝠侠。   本作从布鲁斯·韦恩第一次回到高谭市为开端,为这个传奇人物的诞生打下了新的基础,成为正史中最重要的一页。作为一切故事的开端,本集讲述了各个人物的来历。哈维·邓特不是令人瞩目的青年才俊,而是屡败屡战的检察官;猫女赛琳娜·凯勒不是上流社会的优雅贵妇,只是一名出身街头的穷妓女。在他们生存的哥谭市里,官员们同黑帮勾结,警察是罪犯的保护伞。新调来的警官詹姆斯·戈登想在一个堕落的城市做一名好警察;刚刚回到故乡准备扫尽罪孽的布鲁斯·韦恩则在流血中懂得,惟有让人恐惧才能叫人尊敬。在深夜中,他悄然出现,又随着宽大黑披风带起的一缕微风而没入黑暗。有人说他是野蛮的暴徒,有人说他是嗜血的疯子,也有人认为他只是一个都市传说。一切传说都有它的起源

BRUCE stabs the PLASTIC JUG with a SCREW DRIVER while outside the door in – INT. THE COMET LOUNGE - NIGHT The men, now done with their taunting, approach the door INT. WOMEN'S BATHROOM. THE COMET LOUNGE - NIGHT BRUCE holds the PLASTIC JOG in one hand and the BEER BOTTLE in the other. HE takes a deep breath and dumps the liquid into the PLASTIC JOG — INT. THE COMET LOUNGE - NIGHT Suddenly the door BURSTS OPEN.
A tattered and beaten BRUCE stands holding the PLASTIC JUG.
He tosses the PLASTIC JUG at a thug but it misses and slides under the pool tables —
BRUCE:
It's over. You people should get out of here, (beat) It isn't safe.
The THUG whips out a LONG SCALLOPED KNIFE and comes at BRUCE.
THUG WITH KNIFE:
Let's see what you had for lunch.
Under the pool table the PLASTIC JUG BUBBLES AND STEAMS. The men raise their pool queues and encircle BRUCE.
BRUCE:
Have it your way.
BRUCE jerks a neon beer advertisement off the wall as he leaps up onto a pool table.
The sign shatters.
SPARKS SHOWER DOWN WHOOSH! The LOW-LYING GASSES go up in BLUE-HOT FLAMES.
Every man standing on the floor collapses in agony — pants on fire, legs scorched.
BRUCE casually steps from his pool table onto the bar —
BRUCE:
Gentlemen, thank you for the dance.
— walks down the bar and hops out the front door.
INT. BRUCE WAYNE'S APARTMENT - MORNING A badly beaten BRUCE finishes his letter with a bruised fade and a black eye swollen almost shut.
BRUCE (V.O.) Tonight I learned that I am nothing more than a LUCKY AMATEUR. To climb the ladder of crime, I will need protection, weapons, technique. I need to cultivate an advantage if I'm to take my war up the ladder of crime to the bosses, to the GENERALS. But what should that advantage be, Father. How will I find it? Your loving son, Bruce.
BRUCE finishes the letter, folds it, puts it into an envelope and stamps it. He looks at it for a moment then adds it to a CARDBOARD SHIPPING BOX with hundreds just like it.
INT. MAYOR NOONE'S OFFICE - DAY Mayor Noone greets GORDON at the door to his gilded, wood panelled office.
NOONE:
I hear you have some disturbing news regarding the East End precinct detective Gordon.
GORDON:
Yes, sir. I'm afraid so.
NOONE:
First let me say how impressed I am that you've come forward. I know how hard these situations can be.
I want you to know I admire your bravery and integrity. We need more men like you on the force.
GORDON:
Thank you sir. I'm not trying to be a hero or anything. It's just that... Well, things are out of control.
NOONE:
Of course, I understand. Have a seat. Now tell me everything. Why did you come to my office? It's not the normal route. Why bypass internal affairs?
