Cool. 😎 Here is the first four pages of my favourite and greatest script Batman Escalation.
Synopsis of Batman Escalation
The fight for injustice continues. A year after Bruce Wayne took on the cape and cowl he faces new challenges. Around Gotham a new killer has been leaving Joker cards and his victims left smiling at scenes of the crime. While under the investigations of this new killer, three mob bosses plan for war to take over Gotham City. As well as that Batman life becomes harder when a female jewel thief known as Catwomen comes on the scene and turns out to be the women affecting his choice for giving up the cowl for good, to seek a better life. Allied with Lt James Gordon and his collage friend as well as new DA Harvey Dent, Batman tries to stop the Joker from unleashing his vengeance upon Gotham City.
Fade In:
It’s a dark stormy night and three Police officers are inspecting some dead bodies found in the murky black water near the docks. One police officer walks up to the other officer who is looking at one of the bodies in a perplexing manner.
Cop 1 What is it this time?
Cop 2: Just another killing, but the victim is smiling.
Cop 1: It seems that this has been happening all over the city.
Cop 2: What do you mean?
Cop 1: There have been loads of bodies found with the victims smiling.
Cop 2: Strange times these are.
Suddenly in the pitch black darkness of the night, a loud sound is head. It is the sound of evil cackling. The two police officers abruptly turn around in fear.
Cop 1: Did you hear that?
Cop 2: Yes I did. Let’s get out of here; this place is giving me the creeps.
Cop 1: Keep yourself together man, we can get through this.
The second cop notices a strange object on the floor. He picks it up, the object is a playing card of some sort, as he turns the card around and notices the Joker on it, the evil cackling starts again.
Suddenly a huge explosion erupts and both of the cops die suddenly a lone figure emerges from the fire.
Joker: Aren’t Tragedies extremely funny.
Suddenly he throws a Joker Card and the card lands Joker faced up.
Roll into Credits.
Press flood outside City Hall and greet new Junior Assistant DA Harvey Dent AKA Two-Face. (He Becomes Two-Face in Batman War Games)
Reporter: As new Junior Assistant DA Harvey do you have a message for the criminals of this city.
Harvey Dent: Any criminal who thinks they can get away with crime in this city will be punished with the full power of Justice.
Reporter: And what are your thoughts on the Batman.
Harvey Dent: Assuming he is on the side of good he can be a huge help for this city.
TV Newscaster: New Junior Assistant DA Harvey Dent has put all of Penguin’s men behind bars and soon might be the youngest person to be promoted Senior DA.
Ext Scene.
In a skyscraper not so far away the Mob Boss Oswald Copplepot, a man of wealth, class, and fear among Gotham City’s criminal underworld of organised crime is sitting round a big conference table. He is short fat man with a top hat, glass eye and has a long cigar in mouth.
Penguin: That son of a ***** Harvey Dent has rounded up mostly all my men, I can’t look weak. What do you suggest I do?
Around the table six men of the Penguins are sitting.
Man One: Bind ya time Boss.
Man Two: Wage war.
Man Three: Go after Harvey Dent.
Penguin: Bind my time hmmm maybe I can wait gather my strength then wage war on Rupert Thorn. It has been far too long since we last fought each other, the last time he won but this time I will not let down my guard.
Man Four: That is all fine and well Boss, but what about the Batman boss? What do we do about him?
Penguin: Don’t worry Gibbons I already have somebody to deal with him. Oh here he comes.
Suddenly a tall and quite muscular man comes in.
Penguin: Mr Bane you know what to do I assume.
Bane: Break the Bat. By the way where is my money Mr Copplepot.
Penguin: You shell get it as soon as I have Batman’s head on my desk.
In the big glorious wonder that is Wayne Manor the young master that is Bruce Wayne, wakes up after a nightmare. By his bedside is his ever loyal butler Alfred Pennyworth, who has been serving the Wayne family for nearly two generations.
Alfred: Master Bruce are you okay, I head you shouting in your sleep again, were you having a nightmare?
Bruce Wayne: I was having a nightmare Alfred but this one was very different from the usual one I normally have.
Alfred: You mean the nightmare where you see your parents getting shot and you are trying to run towards them but can’t get to them in time.
Bruce Wayne: That’s the one I usually have but this was far more terrifying.
Alfred: Tell me about it.
Bruce Wayne: It starts of with a woman, I can’t see her face but she is talking. Her voice is gentle; she is trying to tell me to stop doing something. Then I see a man with a gun, he is laughing and he is approaching this woman in a dark alley corner. She is the same woman from the earlier part of the nightmare and I just hear her say “Bruce if our son is still alive then watch over him, I love you.” Then there were a flash of images of a woman dying and man laughing. Then the nightmare ends with me taking of my Batman mask of and shooting a man in a place called Arkham Asylum. I think it is a mental institute of some sort.
Alfred: It is Master Wayne, the old Arkham where Dr Crane used to work is got closed down a couple of month’s age and they have nearly finished building the new one.
Bruce Wayne: What time is it Alfred?
Alfred: It is currently 12.00pm.
Bruce Wayne: Oh no my board meeting, I missed it.
Alfred: It’s alright Master Bruce; I took the liberty of rescheduling your 9.00 meeting to this afternoon.
Bruce Wayne: Thank you Alfred.
Alfred: So Master Bruce how is matiance of the cave going.
Bruce Wayne: It is going fine; the big computer should be come soon.
Alfred: Sorry for not being with the times Master Bruce but what big computer are you talking about?
Bruce Wayne: This new big computer will help me keep me a tab on criminals more easily.
Alfred: It certainly sounds impressive Master Bruce.
Bruce Wayne: It certainly does. Any news this morning Alfred.
Suddenly Alfred and Bruce Wayne hear a news report about the Joker.
Newscaster: Just last night there has been another attack by a criminal now dubbed the Joker at the docks. These are the many of the attacks that has been happening around Gotham where the Joker has left the mark of his crimes. Normally at the scene his victims are left smiling and Joker cards are left near the scene. Gotham Police Department’s Comminser Loeb has said no comment to this attack.
Bruce Wayne: I should keep an extra eye on the streets when I am out.
Alfred: This Joker character sounds like a tricky costumer.
Bruce Wayne: Which is why I should keep an extra eye out? So Alfred any events in the social calendar tonight.
Alfred: I do believe you have an opera to go to tonight.
Bruce Wayne: Come on Alfred, you know I hate opera.
Alfred: I see Batman hates opera but Bruce Wayne must appear to have a love for the theatrical.
Bruce Wayne: All a part of concealing my identity.
Alfred: Quite right Master Wayne. Now how would a nice bit of English tea do?
Bruce Wayne: It would be just fine, thank you Alfred.
Alfred: My Pleasure Master Bruce.
Bruce Wayne greets Harvey Dent at the entrance to the opera.
Bruce Wayne: Hay Harvey, I have not seen you since the good old Princeton days.
Harvey Dent: Hay Bruce, I see life is good with you.
Bruce Wayne: Yes it is, very much so.
Harvey Dent: Just tell me one thing Bruce, why did you leave Princeton?
Bruce Wayne: I guess I had to clear my head.
Harvey Dent: The loss of a loved one is always a hard thing to bear. I expected you by now to have settled down, I mean you are 33 years old, rich and can just about have any woman you want.
Bruce Wayne: I guess I have not met the right woman yet, Harvey.
Harvey Dent: Well you have been in lot of relationships that have not worked, so I guess it might take you a lot longer.
Bruce Wayne: How is Gilda?
Harvey Dent: She is fine, tomorrow is our anniversary, and it’s been going strong for nearly two years. She is also three months pregnant.
Bruce Wayne Congratulations Harvey, do you if it is a boy or girl yet.
Harvey Dent: No I don’t yet; Gilda wants to find out just before she wants give birth. You know what Bruce sometimes I really don’t realise how lucky I am.
Bruce Wayne: In what sense.
Harvey Dent: Well I am lucky to have someone like Gilda; she has always been there with me through the bad times as well as the good. You know Bruce the love of a good woman can really give you all of the confidence you need in the world.
Bruce Wayne: So I hear you have already put most of the Penguin’s men behind bars.
Harvey Dent: I may have most of the Penguin’s men behind bars but I fear Bruce that there are more of those slimy worms nesting near the hidden parts of Gotham, some times I feel like butchering all of them.
Bruce Wayne: How can you say a thing like that specially a man in your position who serves Justice.
Harvey Dent: Well Bruce as they say Justice is blind.
Bruce Wayne: It may be blind but you still have to enforce it.
Harvey Dent: Sorry Bruce I guess I just lost control for a moment, normally people don’t usually see my dark side.
Bruce Wayne: I have seen it plenty a time Harvey.
Suddenly Harvey Dent takes out a coin and starts playing with it.
Bruce Wayne: Why do you always play with that coin Harvey, even in Princeton when I ever I saw you, you were playing with that coin.
Harvey Dent: Lighten up Bruce, don’t you like a littlie game of chance. Shell we go in?

I have seen that movie. w00tI liked it.
Same here. 🙂 Just ask me if you want me to post more of Batman Escalation. Here is my foreword on the script.
Spoilers Alert!!!!!!!!!!
To everybody reading this welcome to the site, this page is about how the screenplay of Batman Escalation was made as well as the tough journey it took to making this radio re-enactment. But before I begin this I have to thank the following members of the KMC Forum who have always been there to read my work as well as support me with feedback to make the script even better. The following members are Doc Potato, Smiley8, Sam Z, Dazzler619, Coolmovies, Batdude123, Guitardude69 XXX-Gabriel-XXX and Kongu Dude.
The journey began on 4th February 2006. Having only written only two scenes and a synopsis I was eagerly waiting the response to my first Comic Book script. The response at first was quite negative with a huge emphasis on the punctuation instead of the actual story. Then later as I started to write more and more I suddenly realised that the story was not just about the rivalry between Batman and the Joker. But instead the story was about two people both who loved each other very much, who had deal with the fact that their relationship was not going to ever work because of their identities that they were hiding from each other. This in my opinion was the heart of the story the relationship between Bruce Wayne/Batman and Selina Kyle/Catwoman. Even though the ending of Batman Escalation broke their relationship it also hinted that there may be hope for them in the sequel to Escalation, Batman War Games. A note to my readers I have written the ending to War Games and let’s just say that Selina and Bruce may be seeing plenty of sunsets together.
As more people started reading it and really likening it. The idea of portraying this story in the in film or radio really was a good idea to me. I figured that if it had appealed to many people in writing then it would appeal to more people as a film. However I was very wrong. I went to loads of people to try and make it. But they found it too dark as well as too mossy. And this was going on for a period of a few months. And just like a real hype for a film, there was a rumour mill going on.
But soon I gave up with the idea of film because of budget, actors and commitment. Although that idea died I next turned to a radio re-enactment which was much easier in terms of budget to do and with a great admirer of my work I was in the progress of making the re-enactment.
