(big reveal leaked at GM's site. Boy, you people were wrong. Lots of spoilers)
"INT. BATCAVE. NIGHT. BLACK&RED.
THIS IS IT. BATMAN'S EYE IS AS THOUGH A RED MOON ON HIS VELVET-NIGHT BLACK MASK, THE ASHES OF THE CORPSE LIKE STARS. HE PUTS ON THE BLACK GLOVE. "ONLY THE BLACK GLOVE CAN OPEN THE BLACK BOOK", THE CAPTION SAYS. THE BOOK OPENS LIKE THE BOULDER IN NANDA PARBAT'S CAVE, LIKE A MOON GETTING FULLER, A TUNNEL BEING WIPED AWAY BY LIGHT.
FULL PAGE: CLOSE ON BATMAN'S SHOCKED FACE LOOKING DOWN ON THE BOOK (IN OUR DIRECTION) SAYING "BUT THAT'S ME SAYING BUT THAT'S ME SAYING BUT THAT'S ME SAYING" UNTIL THE BOTTOM END OF THE PAGE CUTS AWAY. cuts to:
KRISTAN: Hi, I'm Kristan. Come on in. Grant is in the shower, I'm writing now.
BATMAN: I'm Batman. Animal-Man told me once of this. You're the writer?
KRISTAN: Just the good bits. Come on in.
GRANT (OFF FRAME): Hon, how about an AnimalMan-type of ending? Please? He'd break through into our neighborhood with a new batmobile that can do a bunch of cool stuff! Could be good mojo for our car. Or some glove. I've been wanting some gloves. (ENTERS FRAME, BLACK TOWEL ON WAIST) Hey! Bruce! Give me some love! (ARMS OPEN)
BATMAN: No.
GRANT: C'mon (TRYING TO HUG; BATMAN FIGHTS OFF)! C'mon, stop being so uptight already, gimme a hug. C'mon!
BATMAN: No. Arr. Stopit! NO GODDAMNIT! ... Tsc. Great, now I'm wet.
GRANT: Now you understand. Your journey is complete. You are cleaned. Jubilate in your purification. There is no goosing. Here, have my Black Towel. Now will you give me lots of money if I don't hug you now?
BATMAN: Uuuurrrrrggghhh...
GRANT: You stop that right now mister, or I'll write you out of your current assholeness.
BATMAN GIVES NAKED GRANT A BIG HUG AND A HUGE TWO BILLION DOLLARS CHECK." |
