PENGUIN'S VOICE<br />

Look out -- lawn dart!<br />

He steps into the light and lofts an umbrella.<br />

Its sharp point sticks in the roof, an inch from the<br />

Princess's big toe. The umbrella automatically opens,<br />

releasing several live ba<strong>by</strong> bats, that swarm up at her.<br />

<strong>BATMAN</strong><br />

No -- don't panic --<br />

Batman bounds to her aid, but the Ice Princess steps<br />

back, away from the bats, losing her balance ...<br />

One sweeping Klieg-light catches Batman as he rushes<br />

at the Ice Princess, arms outstretched to save her.<br />

The other Klieg lights the Princess herself, as she<br />

topples off the building!<br />

EXT. GOTHAM PLAZA--NIGHT<br />

A huge crowd is gaping up at the terrible scene.<br />

CROWD MEMBER<br />

Batman? Batman pushed the<br />

Princess!<br />

The devastated Mayor and his staff follow, <strong>with</strong> their<br />

heads, the trajectory of the Princess -- which corre-<br />

sponds to that of their careers.<br />

Her body slams down onto the gaily multi-colored button.<br />

This makes the Christmas tree come to life, but not <strong>with</strong><br />

lights. Instead a legion of EEKING BATS bellow out from<br />

the tree's branches and swoop uopn the crowd, violently<br />

rearranging a hundred hair-do's.<br />

EXT. BUILDING ROOFTOP--NIGHT<br />

Both Batman and Penguin stand here (on opposite ends of<br />

the roof), looking down on the mind-boggling pandemonium.<br />

PENGUIN
