MAX<br />

... So he survived ... C'mon, be a<br />

mensch, stand t...<br />

Max trails off. Penguin is giving him that "my nose<br />

could be gushing blood" look.<br />

PENGUIN<br />

He didn't even lose a limb, an<br />

eyeball ... bladder control ..<br />

MAX<br />

Point is, listen to them. They've<br />

lost faith in old symbols.<br />

They're ready to bond <strong>with</strong> you, the<br />

icon of the future. If it works,<br />

don't fix it...<br />

He fairly pushes the grumpy Penguin onto a platform.<br />

MAX<br />

We'll celebrate tonight, at my<br />

annual Max-squerade ball. Shreck<br />

and Cobblepot, the visionary<br />

alliance.<br />

Penguin takes the mike, looking grouchy and uninspired.<br />

Down in front, a shameless, toothsome Cobblepot-Groupie<br />

flashes major cleavage, as though Penguin were a pop star.<br />

This heartens Penguin. He quickly rises to the occasion.<br />

PENGUIN<br />

(booming squawk)<br />

When it came time to ensure the<br />

safety of our city, did the Mayor<br />

have a plan? No, he relied on a<br />

man. A "bat" man.<br />

Somewhere in the crowd stands Selina. Staring poker-<br />

faced at the podium, her gaze flicking between Penguin<br />

and Max Shreck.<br />
