EXT. CITYSCAPE - NIGHT
The place is Gotham City. The time, 1987 -- once removed.
The city of Tomorrow: stark angles, creeping shadows,
dense, crowded, airless, a randomtangle of steel and
concrete, self-generating, almostsubterranean in its
aspect... as if hell had eruptedthrough the sidewalks and
kept on growing. A dangling fat moon shines overhead, ready
to burst.
EXT. CATHEDRAL - NIGHT
Amid the chrome and glass sits a dark and ornate Gothic
anomaly:
old City Cathedral, once grand, now abandoned --
old City Cathedral, once grand, now abandoned --
long sinceboarded up and scheduled for demolition.
On the rooftop far above us, STONEGARGOYLES gaze down from
their shadowy, windswept perches, keepingmonstrous watch
over the distantstreets below, sightlessguardians of the
Gotham night.
One of them is moving.
EXT. GOTHAMSQUARE - NIGHT
The pulsingheart of downtown Gotham, a neon nightmare of
big-city corruption, almostsurreal in its oppressiveness.
Hookers wave to drug dealers. Streethustlers slap high-
fives with three-card monte dealers. They all seem to know
each other... with one conspicuous exception:
A TOURIST FAMILY, Mom, Dad, and little Jimmy, staring
straight ahead as they march in perfectlockstep down the
main drag. They've just come out of a bit show two blocks
over; the respectabletheatrecrowd has thinned out, and
now -- Playbills in hand -- they find themselvesadrift in
the predatorytraffic of Gotham's meanest street.
MOM:
For God's sake, Harold, can we
please just get a taxi??
DAD:
I'm trying to get a --
(shouting)
TAXI!!
Three cabs streak pass and disappear. MOMgrimaces in

frustration as LITTLEJIMMYconsults a subway map.
JIMMY:
We're going the wrong way.
Nearby, STREETTYPES are beginning to snicker. DAD surveys
them nervously, gesturestoward the subway map.
DAD:
Put that away. We'll look like
tourists.
TWO COPS lean on theirpatrol car outside an all-night
souvlaki stand, sippingcoffee and chatting with a HOOKER.
The HOOKERsmiles at JIMMY. JIMMYsmiles back. MOM yanks
him off down the street and glowers at DAD.
DAD (cont.)
We'll never get a cab here. Let's
cut over to Seventh.
JIMMY:
Seventh is that way.
DAD:
I know where we are!
EXT. SIDESTREET - THATMOMENT - NIGHT
A desertedaccess street, sidewalkslined with the husks of
stripped-down cars. MOM, DAD, and JIMMY take a deep breath
and march down the darkened street. A VOICEstartles them.
VOICE:
Hey, mister. Gimme a dollar?
The VOICEbelongs to a DERELICT -- nineteen or twenty,
acne-scarred -- who sits between two garbage cans, his palm
uplifted. His ratty t-shirt reads: 'I LOVEGOTHAM CITY.'
MOM, DAD, and JIMMYpause for the merest of seconds, then

move on -- pretending not to hear.
