ROBIN:

Cool. Can we do that again?

101Batman and Robin race towards Freeze who is fleeing down

the other end of the corridor. he points his gun at the

ceiling. FIRES.

102The sprinkler system pipes EXPLODE, forming a mighty,

intense blizzard in the wind-tunnel.

103BATMAN

Sudden temperature drop. Watch out

for the...

104A blast of wind ROARS down the tunnel, SLAMMING the

doors, sending snow and ice whipping towards them

BATMAN:

Wind.

105Batman and Robin WHIP their capes over their faces, push

forward, fighting the storm, going through the doors one

by one.

106INT. BOILER ROOM

Frozen. At the terminus of the tunnel. A frozen boiler

stands in the center of the icy moat of the building's

INTERNAL RESERVOIR. The door swings open, Batman pushing

inside.

107Freeze flies from behind the door, SLAMMING the metal

portal hard into Batman's face. Batman tumbles forward.

108Freeze raises his gun. Another figure leaps in from the

hallway, going for Freeze. Robin.

109Freeze FIRES, turning the boy into a frozen sculpture of

ice. He plucks the diamond from his icy hand.

109AEXT. CROSS SECTION OF GOTHAM CITY-VFX

A schematic map of Gotham. Freeze's vehicle burrows

underneath the city, freezing the firmament in its path

and clearing away the debris, heading towards the boiler

room.

110INT. BOILER ROOM

(OVER) a RUMBLING.

Suddenly the wall EXPLODES. Freeze's

drilling truck appears in the clearing smoke.

111FREEZE

Can you be cold, Batman? You have

eleven minutes to thaw the bird.

What will you do, chase the villain

or save the boy?

Freeze leaps onto the giant vehicle.

FREEZE:

Your emotions make you weak. That is

why this day is mine.

(smile)

Stay cool, bats.

112And Freeze is gone, sealing the tunnel hole after him

with a blast of ice, clearing the frosted pane to wave

goodbye.

113Batman moves fast to the boy wonder, touches his frozen

skin. He whips out his bat-laser, points at the icy

reservoir and FIRES.

114THE RESERVOIR - CLOSE. The frozen water melts, begins to

SIMMER.

115The caped crusader immerses Robin in the steaming sea.

115AUnder the water, the boy's face is perfectly still.

116A long beat. Then Robin's head breaks the surface.

COUGHING. Alive

ROBIN:

Did we get him?

117EXT. SOUTH AMERICAN RAIN FOREST - NIGHT

(OVER) THUNDER. Lighting flashes on a maze of tends and

tarpaulins affixed to the ruins of a decaying PRISON MORTE.

A "FOR SALE OR LEASE" sign is illuminated by the storm.

SCREEN READS - Meanwhile, somewhere in the South American

Jungle...

118INT. TENTED GREENHOUSE LAB - NIGHT

Bunsen Burners flicker. Beakers BUBBLE.

Martha Stewart does Fankenstein.

PAMELA ISLEY, lovely features hidden by a glasses and bad

hair, shape obscured by her lab coat, TALKS into a

cylindrical micro-recorder.
