Gotham

Joker is squirming unwillingly, the two men force him into the empty chair. He faces Gordon, and Ms.Quinn covers her mouth. Starring at the deranged mans mangled face. For you see, he's has scares around his mouth, with dark circles underneath his eyes, as if hes possessed, Joker smirks at her.

Joker: Thanks Chief, I didnt know you cared about my needs as a man! Your such a caring man!

Gordon:I care very much, I would say spare us the sarcasm, but that's like talking, to the wall!

Joker: I hope you treat your wife or girlfriend better! Hello gorgeous! How do you like to make love? A little ruff, powerful???? Does that fulfill your security?

Quinn looks at Gordon totally flabbergasted, at the question and the tone of the strange mans voice, she mutters under her breath, “ WoW! I cant believe this guy!” Gordon calls for the men, they grab him, and he continues to talk.

Joker: Oh come on Gordon! Just having a little fun, besides you brought her! I just like to get to know lovely woman, as any gentleman does..... But we Bruce know you want something from me!

Ms.Quinn: Wait! He's talking to us!

Gordon motions for them to put him back in his seat, forcibly they push him down in his seat.

Joker: WOOOO!!!! The little princess get's her way, imagine that? That was a close one! Gordon does your significant other know about this?

Gordon: Dont push me! We are not here to get personal.

Ms.Quinn: Just a few questions.... Please.

Joker:Oh but you want to get personal with me???? What happen somebody blow up a street?

Gordon: We can leave anytime!

Ms.Quinn: It's ok really, whats with your eyes?

Joker: Huh? They What with em???? Really Im fine, what about you?

Ms:Quinn: Ok enough! Someone knocked off a jewelry store, did you have anything to do with this?

Joker: I think we are in the midst among a wide circumference! Spinning on a Axis! Understand?

Gordon: What are you hiding?

Joker: Nothing, that we dont all already know! News Travels fast, you should know that!

Gordon and Quinn look surprised....

 

Gordon: Ill find out if you do know something! I can promise you that, so rest assured!

Joker: Oh PLEASE DO! HEH! I already know Bruce the jewelry store, and now your thinking, did I know, was it my plan, who, what, when, why????

Ms.Quinn: Ok so you know.... Obviously that makes you a suspect!

Joker: Obviously! Like I said news travels fast! But then again the faster, the better!

Ms.Quinn: So are you possessed? I mean why all the work on your eyes?

She instinctively moves closer to the glass catching Joker by surprise!

Joker: Why the eyes are the passage way to the soul! I hope you like what you see! Im ready to go back to my room now!

Ms.Quinn: Why the Rush?

Joker: There's no rush, I just have nothing more to say!

Gotham Joker Style

 By:Dennis Shaun Bowman

The man shakes his head as he pulls his white top over his head. He's then startled by a knock at the door. He leaves the room, and goes to answer, when he does he's met by a man who flashes his badge. A conversation then begins between the two men.

Officer: Hi, Mr. Scales????

Scales: Sir I really apologize, but today is my first day at work, and I don't want to be late.

Officer: I apologize, Mr. Scales but this cant wait! Do you recognize this girl?

He shows scales a picture.

Scales: That's my wife.... Is sh......

Officer: Yeah this is very urgent may I come in?

Scales: Yes...please do!

Scales let the officer in, closing the door behind them. Jervis Tetch is then shown looking at his watch outside of Gotham Foods, hes holding his file, and begins to take a walk inside the factory. He stops to sign in and is met by Josh Lance the head manager at the factory. Justin interrupts him as he signs in.

Justin: Hello Mr. Tetch its a pleasure, to finally meet you!

Tetch: It is?

Justin: Yes follow me ill show you around...... The chief says you are more than qualified for many of our positions.

Tetch: I guess....... I just want my Alice.

Justin: Alice?

Tetch: Yeah.....shes my girl, shes away at the moment..... So I do things to bind my time.

They are walk through the factory, Lance listens uncomfortably.

Justin: What kind of things?

Tetch: You know just things to ease my mind..... I do appreciate this Mr. Lance. Im a very hard worker. You'll see....

Justin: heh..... Ok kid..... Well we are giving you a shot, so I hope thats true.

Josh shows him around..... While they talk scenes change to later that day cars are shown driving over the highway, scenic shots of the city are in view. The cars are shown driving and pulling up at the mental hospital. They drive through the main entrance, down a paved road, and see the chapel to the right. Driving down the hill they arrive at the main office. Doors are shown slamming, Ramirez exits the police car carrying, Gordon and Quinn. Gordon exits they come around are met by ton of security as Gordon helps Quinn out of the car. They are shown taking a walk up stairs an d being met by Bill the head of Arkham Asylum.

Gordon: Hey Bill this is Ms. Quinn she will be conducting our interview today, hows his mood.

Bill: Oh as chipper a s usual.....Great to meet you Ms.Quinn!

Ms.Quinn: You too, so just ca....

Bill: Yes Bill is fine, if you Bruceth will follow me ill take you to where you need to be.

They enter inside the hospital, stopping at the main door. Bill presses the intercom button , and gets everyone buzzed in. The walk down the hall side by side, Ms. Quinn is flipping through the Jokers file.

Ms.Quinn: So..... what I gather, is this man has only a homicidal background. No record of previous family, but a alias?

Gordon: Well actually we believe he did have a former alias.... with think his name may had been, Nikki Maxwell, but really names are names..... Hes really just a demon to society.

Ms.Quinn fumbles through the file, dropping it carelessly, catching some papers before they hit the floor. Gordon bends down to help her as Bill stops, a officer is shown on the rooftop. He turns around and is met by Batman, who sprays a mist in the officers face. He grabs the officer putting him in a headlock until he passes out. Batman walks over to the window where he can look into the heart of the old building. To see whats unfolding, he sees Bill and Gordon helping Quinn to her feet, and beginning to walk away. They are shown up close stopping at their desired destination. Bill grabs the keys and begins to unlatch the locks, they enter inside. Batman sees them enter from the roof, at that time he is grazed by a gun shot, which catches him in his left arms. Another officer is seen climbing the building side ladder demanding he halt. Batman walks to the nearest edge, and takes a leap and disappears into the night. The officer drifts closer to the edge looking down, and not find a trace of the hero. Batman is shown hiding favoring his left arm, as blood is oozing from the wound. The seen drifts back to Gordon and Quinn taking their seat in front of the plexiglass. She comments on the supposed shot, she believed to had heard. Gordon instructs Bill to call in the Joker then find out whats going on. At that time the door from behind the plexiglass swings open, one man in white enters first with one arm braced around the deranged being in the straight jacket, then another man enters from the dark holding his other arm.

Batman: He was about five ten or six feet thin.....wore glasses...he had some type of plastic covering long hair....Very brightly brown.

Gordon: hmmmmm...... Doesn't familiar..... Nonetheless ill have the guys in the crime lab draw up something.... Right now your just a suspect, thats why Im not strapping the cuffs on you. We found some of your weaponry, but if you did do this....

Batman: I didnt!

Gordon:That's exactly what you would say. I wish I could believe you, but im afraid I need more to go on .

Batman: Ill get you more to go on.

Gordon: No you'll watch yourself if your smart.... Right now we are considering all options.

Batman: Joker?

Gordon: Like I said we are conside.....

Batman: If your smart you'll leave him where he resides!

Gordon: Oh no worries he's not getting out...... But we have scheduled to consult with him, to see if he knows anything.

Batman: That's crazy, He's not going to talk to anyone.

Gordon: Well its either that or I take you in right now!

Gordon Turns his head as he hears someone coming up the stairs, as the door opens, he turns back around, and Batman is gone! Quinn and ramirez are shown walk threw the door. Gordon then begins to consult with them.

Gordon: I thought I said stay where you were?

ramirez: Well you have been gone for awhile so we thought, we better come up here and take a look. To make sure your ok.

Ms.Quinn: Chief we did find broken glass on the inside by the door... Which is funny, because if it would had been in the explosion, why would it be on the inside?

Gordon: Valid point.... I want to see this.

They all take their walk, scenes change a man is shown getting ready for work, as hes watching the Gotham City News.

The first man pulls something from his pocket, and hands it to the other guy.

Man 1: Make sure you go here when finished, you will get a phone call. Read the directions exactly as follows.

Man 2: Ok ???? Ke....

The second man was reading the note as he looks up the camera shows the first guy walking away. His wearing a black over coat. The other man gets back to work.

ramirez: Chief if you look at the safe we found these stars, as evidence. We don't know if he had help or really why or how he chose to use them on his entry to the safe. But the were also found in the cabinets.

Gordon: What about the cameras, did you check the tape?

ramirez: Well surprisingly it still works..... But we think it was replaced, because we are showing nothing. Whats really Bothering us is tracks were found in the snow, entering and leaving.

Gordon: Doesn't make sense..... Im going to go up to the roof... I want to have a look for myself!

Ms.Quinn: Is it safe???

Gordon: No you stay here, see if you and ramirez can find more evidence..... I just want to see for myself.

Gordon walks away, ramirez points him in the direction of the stairs. He finds the door, forces it open and starts walking up the stairs. As he finds his way in the Dark. Watching his step, he takes out a small flashlight, he reaches the top of the stairs, and forces open the door leading to the outside of the roof top. He steps out on to the roof inspecting the foot prints, he kneels, looks up and is startled falling back, as he's met by batman. He makes a movement like he's reaching for his gun, then he decides not to. batman extends his hand, helping the Chief to his feet.

Gordon: You have a lot of nerve, showing back up here..... Everything points to you, so was this your work?

batman: No..... I was setup.

Gordon: How do you explain all the evidence, if it wasn't you?

batman: When I arrived its like the ring leader was waiting on me.... We fought into the street and I was hit by a on coming car!

Gordon: I need a description.

Shaun Bowmans Gotham continued.

Mayor: Ah... well with the new ownership this should be a great fit for everyone! Hurry Gordon! Great to have you aboard Ms.Quinn!

They all get up and adjourn their meeting. Thanking each other, and shaking hands. As scenes shift back to the newly rebuilt Wayne Manor. Bruce is shown practicing his jujitsu in his courtyard. Shirtless bandaged.

 

Alfred walks outside onto the patio, watching him, as Bruce bends in pain trying not to break Meditation, for each movement. Struggling to do so he favors his side in pain. Alfred approaches max, with some warm therapeutic herbal tea, sitting on a tray. He sets the tray down, handing Bruce his glass, Wayne takes the glass, taking a drink as he takes a seat in his hammock. Alfred is standing inspecting his bandages, beginning to loosen them and taking a look underneath.

Alfred: Your ribs may very well be cracked if not broken.

Bruce: The rest, helped but still im having trouble, turning full force.

Alfred: The tea should help, with more rest. Im worried about you. I dont think your body can take much more.

Bruce: Well....That could be but..... We have nothing else to go on......

Alfred: Just be careful because your not a hundred percent....

Bruce: DAMMETT! Thats not a option!

Alfred is startled by Bruce's abrupt reaction.

Alfred: A little testy..... Maybe you should go out tonight..... Relax...... Ya know get your mind off of all this corruption.

Bruce: Yeah.... I will...... Im going back to the scene. Ive got to find out what was discussed today.

Alfred: Your a moving target now......... You know they will be looking for you.....

Bruce: Well.... That's a chance im going to take.

Gotham Mayor Garcia!!!!!!!!!!

By Dennis Shaun Bowman

 

Mayor: hmmmm.......This is a two way conversation...... Ms. Quinn do you have any objections to this, would you be willing to assist us, I want you aware this is a very dangerous man.... But the Lieutenant raises a very interesting argument, perhaps a lady may have more intellect in getting this man to talk. What are your thoughts Ms. Quinn?

Ms.Quinn: Well I am more than qualified..... I need to see this mans file, to see what im dealing with. But if a say no would this have any reflect on whether or not I keep my job?

Gordon: Not at all... We are just throwing around Ideas really.... The city has been pretty clean since his attacks, but I have to admit this latest caught us off guard..... Its completely your decision Ms.Quinn.

Ms.Quinn is handed a file from Mr.Gordon.... She begins to read the information. The Mayor and Garcia resume the conversation.

Mayor: Ms. Quinn you take your time in reviewing his file...

Gordon: Yes....please..don

Ms. Quinn: He actually goes outside like this...... Calls himself Joker....... Why didnt this man get the death penalty????

Gordon: We tried.... But the government felt he could be used more as a weapon than a threat...

Mayor: Which they were wrong..... He has talked usually heckling us and laughing.... Or he chooses not to say anything.... Really hasn't hurt anyone surprisingly.... I can assure you, if you choose to do this, you will be most heavily guarded.

Ms.Quinn: Ok... Ill do it..... But the slightest sign...

Gordon: The slightest sign, and we are out of there

 

 

Ms.Quinn: We?

Gordon: Ill be going in with you, we will be guarded by plexiglass, he will be positioned on the other side, kind of like the source of communications used in prisons, when families come to consult with their loved ones.

Ms.Quinn: I see... When will this be taking place? Because I need to time to review and prepare.

Mayor: Tomorrow mid afternoon. Do you think that gives yo enough time to prepare?

Ms.Quinn: Well.... It should....

Gordon: I do apologize for the inconvenience, but we need to try and get information as quickly as possible, before anymore lives are taken. Are you sure this will be ok?

Ms.Quinn: Yes. Ill let you know if I have any objections.

Mayor: Great! Ok Corbel.... I need you to show her around the city, and get down to the jewelry store. ASAP!

Corbel: Alex... One thing I have to before that if its ok..... They brought Tetch in again.

Mayor: Again? I feel bad for that Kid.....

Gordon: Me too, but I have a solution. Should really fix this kid. At least I hope. Ive got him a job at our largest food distributor.

By Dennis Shaun Bowman

Mayor Garcia is shown sitting in the meeting office. Next to the city counsel, judges, lawyers, ect. The door opens, everyone stands and in walks, Gordon, and Quinn. They walk in shaking the Mayors hand, then taking a seat at the meeting table. They sit directly in front of the Mayor, and begin their meeting.

Mayor: Good morning Gordon, Ms. Quinn, I presume nice to have you on board as our new District Attorney.

Ms. Quinn: Thank you sir. Im glad to be here.

Gordon: Thank you. Tony...This isnt good, we lost nine men last night.

Mayor: No its not.... We are in a financial crisis, the city also took a big blow. Economically and personally we are devastated. Have your boys found any evidence that could point us in the right direction, as to arresting the responsible parties?

Gordon: Well...Yes we found evidence in which we believe its the Batman, but still many questions surround this, presumption.

Mayor: I see, I want everyone on high alert, Alex I want extra security at all banks, jewelry stores, and most of all Arkham..... I dont know if Jokers behind this, but Im not taking any chances.

Gordon: Judging by the similarities, the work looks close to the previous attacks on the city which took place a few years ago.

Ms. Quinn: Who are we talking about?

Mayor: A homicidal maniac called the Joker....

Gordon:I think we should try question him.

Mayor: Have you lost your mind, Alex he want talk, he hasn't talked, and even if he did know anything he wouldn't tell us. Besides who could we even send in to attempt to question that psycho?

 

Gordon: Well actually, Ms. Quinn has a duel Major, one in Criminal Justice, the other in pshycolidgy

 By:Dennis Shaun Bowman

 

 

Alfred: Likewise, I think its been hard on all of us since Ms.Dawes departure. Maybe that's why you should consider taking I t easy for a while.

Bruce: I don't know really.....I'm gonna go back tomorrow night, try to skim around search for clues. Really right now I just need some rest, and to think about all of this.

Alfred pauses like his holding back something. He shakes it off, then helps Bruce to his feet.

Bruce: Something on your mind Alfred???

Alfred: No its nothing, lets get you upstairs.

Ramirez: We lost nine men last night Sir. I have notified the families, and we have men going through the rubble right now as we speak. We dd find some evidence however.

He hands Gordon a bag full of what appears to be some type of battle stars.

Gordon: hmmmm..... So if hes behind this then why would he use so many? I mean obviously you saw him there, but it just doesn't make since.

Ramirez: I know....we cant find any prints, however we are a hundred percent certain he entered through the roof. But he had to of had help. Because theres no way he toted all Jewels out through the roof top.

Gordon looks at his watch, then at Ramirez.
