CHRIMES CREATED FOR VS BY ADAM SCOTT BASED ON CHARACTERS CREATED BY BOB KANE AND APPEARING IN MAGAZINES PUBLISHED BY DC COMICS FADE IN: EXT. FIRST BANK OF GOTHAM - EVENING The imposing, sturdy Art Deco of Gotham's primary banking institution sets the sunset scene, a small crowd gathered around the front steps and a smaller crowd within that surrounding a floodlit PODIUM, set up for a press conference. Microphones, TV news cameras and reporters, and a line of puffed up executive men and women hovering behind the raised stage like peacocks at feeding time. A middle-aged, balding man steps up to the podium, met by a series of CAMERA FLASHES - this is MARCUS HASLAM, and he is the proudest man in Gotham right now. HASLAM Thank you, thank you, ladies and gentlemen for your time here today, on the auspicious occasion of the unveiling of the First Bank of Gotham's all-new security vault. Singled out in the crowd is: BRUCE WAYNE Incognito, peering over shades at the Bank before looking down at his phone screen: Where the front page of the Gotham Broadcasting Company's news blog yells back at him: 'THE CATWOMAN STRIKES AGAIN' It's a story detailing a daring theft the day before, framed around a blurry CCTV image of the thief in question. And which just happens to have been penned by one Vicki Vale. Bruce looks back up at the Bank, a familiar grit in his jaw as he watches, discretely scanning the crowd. ALFRED (O.S.) Thinking of taking in a stray? Bruce glances over his shoulder as ALFRED PENNYWORTH joins him, the butler nodding towards the story on Bruce's phone screen. Bruce gives him a mild look. BRUCE Aren't you supposed to be pretending to be my butler? ALFRED You're not supposed to be here. In disguise, remember? (MORE) 2. ALFRED (CONT'D) So if you're expecting me to bow and scrape then you've got another thing coming. BRUCE (amused) So noted. He looks back at the screen. Alfred cranes his neck for a look. ALFRED So back to my original question-- BRUCE She interests me. Let's call her a 'person of interest'. ALFRED This is the same person of interest who half-inched a priceless statuette the other evening? BRUCE The same. And she's got some skill. CUT TO: INT. MUSEUM - NIGHT BLACK AND WHITE, FIRST PERSON footage as we race up to a display case containing a jade CAT STATUETTE. BRUCE (V.O.) Highly agile, detailed knowledge of each of her targets and enough tech support to infiltrate security. Plus, her skills suggest she's been trained rather than picking it up as she went along. With a few discrete taps, two BLACK-GLOVED HANDS open a swing door in the side of the case, carefully removing the statue. CUT BACK TO: EXT. FIRST BANK OF GOTHAM - EVENING As before. Alfred looks amused. ALFRED A kindred spirit, then, only on the opposite side of the looking-glass. BRUCE Something like that. Bruce's attention drifts back to the press conference: 3. HASLAM Thanks to advances in one hundred and twenty-eight bit security algorithms, courtesy of our friends at Wayne Enterprises, plus the latest in promethium alloys, we can now make a claim no other bank in the world can dispute... (pauses for effect) We have the world's first and only theft-proof vault! More FLASHES and a hubbub of a dozen reporters firing questions all at once. Haslam waves for them to quieten down, soaking up his moment in the limelight. ALFRED Ah, the unbreakable vault. BRUCE Pretty tempting target for someone looking to raise their profile. ALFRED And this is relevant to our work on the Brotherhood because...? BRUCE Because it's not just money the First Bank keeps. Their servers have all kinds of secure information - Wayne Enterprises keep a chunk of our data in there. That makes this a personal case. ALFRED And you're sure she'll make a move tonight? He picks out a handful of faces - the wealthy, pampered and publicity-seeking of Gotham, all assembled in a section of the crowd ring-fenced before the podium. His eyes linger on a WOMAN with long, black curly hair doing her best Audrey Hepburn in a large hat and glasses as she moves through the crowd, before Haslam continues: HASLAM Now I'm sure you'll all have plenty of questions, so... (gesturing) ... learned friends, members of the press, if you'd like to follow me, we can head in for a closer look. 4. BRUCE (to Alfred) All these people, the circus, the distraction, the attention of the press. (shrugs) I would. ALFRED Really? BRUCE If I was trying to make a statement, sure. Theatricallity, deception - any of this ringing a bell? ALFRED I still think you're off your nut. (off his look) But you're probably right. The reasoning is sound. BRUCE (points) Come on. Haslam steps down off the podium, the group around him making to follow him into the bank. Bruce and Alfred start to head off, away from the crowd. BRUCE (CONT'D) She'll wait until tonight. Case the place out first, see what she's up against. Might even be in the crowd right now but there's no way for us to identify her yet. ALFRED Shall I go get your gear ready in the car, then? BRUCE (nods) We can swing back this way later tonight after we've taken care of our other business. Besides, Lucius assures me that quick-access suit will be as easy as pulling on a pair of gloves. ALFRED I look forward to hearing whatever inventive curses your vocabulary produces when you try to get into it, then. 5. Alfred peels away, and with a last gaze at the crowd outside the bank as Haslam's group head indoors, Bruce follows. As the journalists cluster together, FOCUS on one in particular - a harrassed-looking man, fiddling with a handheld audio recorder far too advanced for him. BUMP! He's jolted out of his daze as a TEENAGE GIRL rebounds from him. She's slim, pale, unassuming, and raises her hands to apologise with a sweet smile. Reporter nods back, stealing another glance at her as she moves away, before the crowd of onlookers engulfs her. TRACK the girl as she weaves through the hustle, soon arriving at the waiting Aubrey Hepburn lookalike, positioned carefully out of direct sight of any cops or cameras. A nod of recognition between them, the girl striding past without slowing: And slipping a PRESS PASS into the woman's hand, the practised manoeuvre done in an instant. GIRL Got you one without a photo. WOMAN Good girl. The girl melts back into the crowd with practiced ease. Heading towards the crowd of journalists, the woman quickly ditches her hat, slips off her coat and reverses it with a flourish before shrugging it back on. Letting her hair down out of its bun and pinning the press pass onto her lapel, the woman arrives at the security barricade looking every inch the newshound. As she follows the others inside, we CUT TO: INT. BANK OF GOTHAM - FOYER - NEXT Haslam leads the gaggle, the high-vaulted ceilings hinting at the building's more illustrious past. Armoured glass booths and other anachronisms clash with the stonework facades. Haslam comes to a halt in the middle of the open space, the press and dignitaries clustering around. HASLAM Quick show of hands, who here today has any savings or valuables stored here at the First Bank? 6. Swapped glances in the crowd before, one by one, pretty much everybody has their hand up. HASLAM (CONT'D) (grins) The aim of today's demonstration is to show that everyone from Gotham's elite all the way down to the little people can be safe in the knowledge the First Bank will keep their Benjamins safe and sound. (waves) If you'd like to follow me? He heads on, the crowd fanning out behind as murmured conversations fill the space. Unseen by all, our mystery woman slips round and into an alcove out of sight, already detached from the group. INT. BANK OF GOTHAM - CORRIDOR - NEXT Haslam leads the group down a lavish, red-carpeted corridor heading towards a set of heavy duty doors. Haslam is gushing enthusiastically to one of the reporters: HASLAM Nobody's ever attempted a design like this before. Karthain Security have outdone themselves this time! As the group continue and Haslam's rhetoric fades, the Woman reappears, carefully tailing them all towards the vault. The Woman pushes her hair back - revealing a BLUETOOTH EARPIECE hidden by her flowing locks. WOMAN (into earpiece) Camera jammers online? VOICE (filtered; through earpiece) All green. You're a ghost. WOMAN Always thought I was an Aries. She glances up to her left: A small CCTV CAMERA pivots lazily, the Woman cautiously moving out into its sweeping pattern. INT. BANK OF GOTHAM - SECURITY OFFICE - NEXT Where the camera's feed displays on one monitor among a bank of dozens. 7. Where the Woman should be, there's merely a ripple, refracted light as if the lens was blurred. A ghost indeed. INT. BANK OF GOTHAM - VAULT ENTRANCE - NEXT Haslam strides into frame, leading the group down a plush hallway and heading up towards: THE VAULT An imposing, steampunk monstrosity of a bank vault, all sliding cogs and bolts framing a massive wheeled handle.

That investment is most salient in two films: Batman, released in 1989 during the merger negotiations between Time Inc. and Warner, and JFK, the signature film of the new organization.I willargue that Batman and JFK are corporate expressions: the former an instrumental allegory contrived to accomplish corporate objectives, the latter a scenario that effectively expands the range of what counts as a corporate objective. Batman is an allegory addressed to savvy corporate insiders, some of whom are meant to get the message, while others err. JFK aspired to turn everyone into an insider. It inducts its viewers into a new American mythos wired for an age in which successful corporate financial performance presupposes

Constituent morphological priming in compound words ABSTRACT In the present study, we examined morphological decomposition of Basque compound words in a series of masked priming lexical decision experiments. In Experiment 1, Basque compound words could be briefly preceded by other compounds that shared either the first or second constituent, or by unrelated non-compound words. Results showed a significant priming effect for words that shared a constituent, independently of its position. In Experiment 2, compound words were preceded by other compound words that shared one of their constituents, but in a different lexeme position (e.g., the first constituent of the compound that acted as a prime was the second constituent of the compound that acted as a target).

  • “Why So Serious?” Comics, Film and Politics, Or the Comic Book Film As the Answer to the Question of Identity and Narrative in a Post-9/11 World
    ABSTRACT “WHY SO SERIOUS?” COMICS, FILM AND POLITICS, OR THE COMIC BOOK FILM AS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY AND NARRATIVE IN A POST-9/11 WORLD by Kyle Andrew Moody This thesis analyzes a trend in a subgenre of motion pictures that are designed to not only entertain, but also provide a message for the modern world after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The analysis provides a critical look at three different films as artifacts of post-9/11 culture, showing how the integration of certain elements made them allegorical works regarding the status of the United States in the aftermath of the attacks. Jean Baudrillard‟s postmodern theory of simulation and simulacra was utilized to provide a context for the films that tap into themes reflecting post-9/11 reality. The results were analyzed by critically examining the source material, with a cultural criticism emerging regarding the progression of this subgenre of motion pictures as meaningful work. “WHY SO SERIOUS?” COMICS, FILM AND POLITICS, OR THE COMIC BOOK FILM AS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY AND NARRATIVE IN A POST-9/11 WORLD A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Miami University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Communications Mass Communications Area by Kyle Andrew Moody Miami University Oxford, Ohio 2009 Advisor ___________________ Dr. Bruce Drushel Reader ___________________ Dr. Ronald Scott Reader ___________________ Dr. David Sholle TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ..........................................................................................................................

  • Batman Year One Proprosal by Larry and Andy
    BATMAN YEAR ONE PROPROSAL BY LARRY AND ANDY WACHOWSKI The scene is Gotham City, in the past. A party is going on and from it descends Thomas Wayne with his wife Martha, and son Bruce. They are talking, with Bruce chatting away about how he wants to see The Mark of Zorro again. Obviously they have just come from a movie premiere. As they turn a corner to their car, they are met by a hooded gunman who tries holding them up. There is a struggle and the Wayne parents are murdered in a bloodbath. Bruce is left there, when he is met by a police officer. There is a screech and a bat flies overhead... Twenty years have passed. Bruce is now twenty‐eight and quite dynamic. The main character has been travelling the world, training for a war on crime, to avenge his parents' deaths. He is at the Ludlow International Airport, where his butler Alfred picks him up. The two drive to Wayne Manor, just outside of Gotham. Bruce watches the city from the distance. The scene moves to downtown Gotham, where Bruce is wearing a hockey mask and black clothes. A fight breaks out between him and a pimp which leads to Bruce escaping to a rotting building. Bleeding badly, he doesn't know whether to continue his crusade against crime. A screech fills the area and a bat dives at him, knocking him onto an old chair. Bruce realises his destiny... The opening credits feature Bruce at Wayne Manor, slamming down a hammer on scrap metal, moulding it into shape.

  • Schurken Im Batman-Universum Dieser Artikel Beschäftigt Sich Mit Den Gegenspielern Der Comic­Figur „Batman“
    Schurken im Batman-Universum Dieser Artikel beschäftigt sich mit den Gegenspielern der Comic-Figur ¹Batmanª. Die einzelnen Figuren werden in alphabetischer Reihenfolge vorgestellt. Dieser Artikel konzentriert sich dabei auf die weniger bekannten Charaktere. Die bekannteren Batman-Antagonisten wie z.B. der Joker oder der Riddler, die als Ikonen der Popkultur Verankerung im kollektiven Gedächtnis gefunden haben, werden in jeweils eigenen Artikeln vorgestellt; in diesem Sammelartikel werden sie nur namentlich gelistet, und durch Links wird auf die jeweiligen Einzelartikel verwiesen. 1 Gegner Batmans im Laufe der Jahrzehnte Die Gesamtheit der (wiederkehrenden) Gegenspieler eines Comic-Helden wird im Fachjargon auch als sogenannte ¹Schurken-Galerieª bezeichnet. Batmans Schurkengalerie gilt gemeinhin als die bekannteste Riege von Antagonisten, die das Medium Comic dem Protagonisten einer Reihe entgegengestellt hat. Auffällig ist dabei zunächst die Vielgestaltigkeit von Batmans Gegenspielern. Unter diesen finden sich die berüchtigten ¹geisteskranken Kriminellenª einerseits, die in erster Linie mit der Figur assoziiert werden, darüber hinaus aber auch zahlreiche ¹konventionelleª Widersacher, die sehr realistisch und daher durchaus glaubhaft sind, wie etwa Straûenschläger, Jugendbanden, Drogenschieber oder Mafiosi. Abseits davon gibt es auch eine Reihe äuûerst unwahrscheinlicher Figuren, wie auûerirdische Welteroberer oder extradimensionale Zauberwesen, die mithin aber selten geworden sind. In den frühesten Batman-Geschichten der 1930er und 1940er Jahre bekam es der Held häufig mit verrückten Wissenschaftlern und Gangstern zu tun, die in ihrem Auftreten und Handeln den Flair der Mobster der Prohibitionszeit atmeten. Frühe wiederkehrende Gegenspieler waren Doctor Death, Professor Hugo Strange und der vampiristische Monk. Die Schurken der 1940er Jahre bilden den harten Kern von Batmans Schurkengalerie: die Figuren dieser Zeit waren vor allem durch die Abenteuer von Dick Tracy inspiriert, der es mit grotesk entstellten Bösewichten zu tun hatte.

According to writers Kelly Souders and Brian Peterson, "Reckoning" had been chosen as the episode's title before the script had been finalized. Karen A. One faction of fans was unhappy with the choice of Jonathan, however, as they would have preferred Lana dying instead. Volume 5 - 1st printing. Alongside E4 broadcasting the new series of the show, Sci-Fi were also broadcasting all the older episodes, which ran all the way up to the end of Season 7. However, the show was not able to afford the special effects to pull the scene off, and so, the sequence was re-written to feature a bus crash. Leslie rated it it was amazing Jun 26, This authorized companion with a stunning page full-color section takes you through Season Four, which achieved the highest ratings of any season! Since then, she has headlined shows like Bitten and the reboot of V. The final version was finished "two-and-a-half [to] three weeks" before production began.
