As for my Batman Dream... It opens in the halls of justice. Literally. Also, my idea of a batman trilogy is somewhat different. My first movie would be early batman, and deal with the psyche of Batman and how he walks the line between good and evil. Knight and vigilante. And the cast of villians would be Gotham PD, Hugo Strange, Killer Crock, Pre-Bane Bane, and the Anarchy.
The second Batman movie would be middle aged Batman, and be the Joker movie. The one I'm dreamign of now.
And the third Batman movie would be old Batman and Batman Beyond.
Anywho, I've been dreaming of movie three. As I said, it opens in the halls of justice. Literally flash bulbs exploding from all the journalists and the plasce is crwoded and to a frenzy. You can't really make out what's going on, but then you look over the shoulder of a hot female reporter. She's reading the cover of the paper that says, "Trial of the Century!" and the subline "Joker's sanity on the stand!"
Just then, the woman gets startled by a hand on her shoulder. "Hi, Meredith." As she turns, it's Bruce Wayne.
Her and Bruce talk about the Joker's trial and several times he was thought dead, he was caught by Batman and actually locked up. They talk about the prosocutions stragey focusing on his last horrible crime but they don't mention it. Then they talk about the defense strategy of pleading insanity. However, the prosecution's psychologist, Harriet Quinn, is expected to take the stand and state that he;'s sane and is just pretending.
Then she makes a aside reference to how Bruce is probably looking for the Joeker to fry since he once kidnapped him. (referencing an earlier adventure not seen) And Bruce just says he just came to see justice.
The crows clears out of the hall in a throng and Bruce and the rporter follow. The next bit is in the courtroom. There's the prosecution on one side. On the other is the defense with one two laywers. However, in the third chair, is a series of camera's, a lcd monitor, and a camera. As the session starts, the judge bangs his gavel. all becomes silent, the two sides state they're ready. And that ends with the defense.
The Judge then say's, "Is the defendent is ready." Now the room is deadly silent as a balif walks over to the camera setup. He reaches over to flip a switch, and nothing happens.
The crowd sits there in silence for a second. And then a hideous cackle comes across the speakers. Just insane laughter. And it just keeps going on and on. Until finally the judge shakes his head to the balif who turns the sound off. The reporter remarks to Bruce. "Every second of every bit of this trial and all he does is laugh. And make those... disturbing faces to the camera. Every time I hear it, it creeps me out. The son of a bitch may have the 'right' to watch his trial from prison. But we have the right not to hear or see his horrible face ever again."
The whole point is to play up the fact thate evry movie, everyone wants to see the joker, but we don't let the audience. Only hear him, for a brief moment at first.
Then the trial starts proceeding. Quinn takes the stand. The prosecution starts by ona line by trying to prove that Joker is sane aand deserves the death penalty. They begin by discussing his latest crime. The Joker had kidnapped and killed the children of some of the richest families in Gotham. He even taped it. And they show the tape as evidence. And you don;'t see the joker in the tape, but you see the group oif kids sitting there. Between 3-9. And it's kinda like, kids say the darndest things. And the joker gets the jkids to say some of the most perverse and racists things. But they're so adorable and cute, it's actually funny. And the idea is to actually get the audience to laugh at what the Joker is doing. Until he turns mean, starts yelling at the kids for not being funny enough, and throws juker gas in the mix. Then the kids die horrile face deforming deaths on the video.
Then Quinn starts to contradict the prosecution that the Joker isn't sane, he crazy. Which pisses off the prosecution because she's their witness. But she keeps talking about how he's a genus, and super intelligent, and he can't help his creative impulses, and that what he thinks ois for the greater good of art.
Which kinda throws the court out of orderr, because the crowd starts to get testy. The prosecution points out that several kids are still missing, and points to one mother in the audience who's sobbing. But Quinn just keeps talking about how the Joker shouldn't be put to death. A couple people in the audience start to stand up and yell at her.
Just then, a cell phone gopes off. Then another. Then a third and seoon there are a handful of phones going off. The judge is banging his gavel. The reporte goes, "Now mine is vibrating." She starts reading the screen and a look of horrow crosss her face. "Bruce, look!" He reads the screen which reads. "The Joker escaped an hour ago."
Bruce is shocked, the audiece is in uproar, the balif walks over and whispers in his ear. The judge says somethign back. The balif walks over and flips the switch, and the laughter starts again. Now the court suddenly gets dead silent. The judge say's, "turn on the monitor." The view is from the audience, so you on;y see the back of the monitor and the judges expression. The judge looks on in horrow. Then the balif swings the monitor to the audience. And on the screen is a brison room, what looks like a half obscured body fo a dead guard. And on the table in front of chair is a pair of chattering teeth, just playing a recording of the jokers laugh.
A woman in the audience screams. The crowd really errupts. The Judge is banging his Gavel. Bruce turns to the reporter and say's, "I have to-"
Just then, there's a huge explosion. A wall opposite the jury box crubbles and blows in. Balifs and lawyers go flying. The judge shields himself behing the bench. And in comes this huge... wait for it.... model of the Kool aid man.
As the dust clears, and there's some growns, and it sits there for a few seconds, In prison garb with and overcoat walks the joker who say's, "Oh yeah!" and starts laughing crazily. "I'm sorry... ha-ha... I''m sorry... ha -ha, I know it's a bad joke, but I couldn't resist."
The crowd panics and runs for the dooor, you see bruce and teh reporter getting kinds forced out/near trampled by the mob as they run.
Just then, the joker throws a rubber ball at the doorway, it starts to bounce about, and then explodes. Closing off the room while nearly killing bruce and knocking the reporter unconscious.
"Sorry I'm late you're honor. But now we can begin. Please, take your seats. See, the trial of Gotham is now in session."
There are still people trapped in the room as well as jury judge, lawyers. etc. The Joker goes on a tirade about how for all these years he's just tried to liven the city up. But all he gets is scorn. No one appreciates what he does for the city. Then he points out that there are a few that recognize what he's trying to do. And he points to Quinn as exhibit A, Who kinda bounds over to him and screams, "Pudding!" She hugs him and gives this totally gross sloppy kiss. Talks about how she was able to recognize his genious. Then he goes to exibit B.
He mentions the missing boy, and points to the mother mentioned earlier. Then I totally rip off Batman beyond. The Joker says her son got to appreciate him. He claps his hands like the clapper, and the kool aid man opens up. And out walks a boy who's like a minature, surgiclaly scarred and laughing joker. The boy walks forward while the Joker is also laughing. The woman crawls forward to see her son. "My god, what did he do to you." And as she reaches out to touch him... the boy is holding a jack in the box. "For you, mother." Out pops the lid and springs a spray of joker gas that also defoirms the mother. Which the Joker remarks, Another happy family reunion."
The Joker then starts his mock trial. Just then, the Batman appears in shadowat the pening the Joker made. It's raining outside, forgot to menttion that. The joker announces that the next witness is ready to take the stand.
And kinda that's where I get stuck in my dream. I get glimpses of other parts of the story, but I primarily keep re-envisioning the opening sequence.
