Batman: Alfred!
Alfred comes outside.
Alfred: Yes, Master Bruce?
Batman: Call Gordon and have him pick Clayface up.
Alfred: Yes sir.
Alfred watches Batman leave.
Alfred turns to the well and talks down to Clayface.
Clayface: I'm going to kill you too, old man!
Alfred: I think it's about time you and I had a talk.

Clayface: Running to your batcave, Bruce!
Clayface jumps inside the well.

An arm comes lashing out of Catwoman's neck and grabs Batman's throat. Catwoman is revealed as Clayface.
Clayface: No. I'm not.
The clay from the horrible Clayface arm creeps up to envelope Batman's face.
Batman grabs his utility belt off the back of the chair, wraps it around Clayface's arm, and squeezes the arm apart, like squeezing a space in a tube of toothpaste. This is while Clayface is trying to immobilize and smother Batman.
Batman wrenches free. Clayface continues to lash out at Batman. Batman dodges.
Clayface: You tried to kill me, Bruce!

Catwoman starts to walk towards Batman.
Catwoman: Listen to me!
Catwoman collects herself.
Catwoman: You're right. I have been holding back, but I'm not now.
By this point she has come close enough to Batman to kiss him and appears to have reached up to do so.
Catwoman: I love you.
Batman (starts laughing): I know who Catwoman is. You're not Catwoman.

Batman: I can't say I'm surprised you're here.
Catwoman (teasingly): Now that I know who you are, I couldn't stay away.
Batman (tersely): What do you want?
Catwoman slumps her shoulders and is saddened that she wasn't greeted happily.
Catwoman: Bruce, don't you realize that if you had told me who you were, we could have had a life together?
Batman: What do you mean?
Catwoman (hurt shouting and getting up from the bed): You were always holding back!
Batman (angry): The same could be said of you!
Catwoman (now angry but still hurt): The difference is that I wouldn't have hauled you off to jail!
Batman (seething): I don't break the law.
Catwoman: Yes you do! Yes you God damn do! You're a fucking vigilante and you break the law every night you go out!
Batman (calmly): Get out.

Batman: Thanks, Alfred. You're a help.
Alfred: You misunderstand me, sir.
New Panel
Alfred: You are able to make your choices you did because of your station. The people of Gotham face the same tragedies you do, but they aren't able to make the choice you did. Now, for good or ill, they can now. All you are doing is providing the means to make that choice, sir.
New Panel
Pulling into Wayne Manor, there is a decorative well in the front yard. There is an oak tree next to the well with a large branch that extends over the well.
Batman: Perhaps you're right, Alfred.
Alfred: Of course I am, sir.

The limo manages to break free of the crowd and Alfred drives away. As the limo drives through Gotham, people are managing to anticipate the limo's route. People are lining the streets. Some hold signs supporting Batman, some hold signs damning, while a couple support the Joker. Fights may break out between all three. You decide.
Batman: Alfred. Am I doing the right thing?
Alfred: I don't know, Master Bruce.

New Panel
Batman: I made a choice long ago to become who I am. I now offer all of you that same choice...

Get ready for a big talky part. Panels should, of course, show Batman, but also the press reaction and the reaction of the people of Gotham so as to break up the repetition.
Batman:And I believe in Gotham City. I trust in Gotham to grow and flourish, despite the many obstacles before it. I trust in her strength and resilience in the face of adversity and her many tragedies, such as last night's.
New Panel
Batman: What I haven't trusted in is her people. I haven't trusted you.
New Panel
Batman: This is despite the fact that I know you. I know your joys and kindnesses. I know your pains and heartaches.
New Panel
Batman: I have those same joys, and I have tried to repay your kindnesses.
New Panel
Batman: I know you because those same pains and heartaches have driven me to become who and what I am.
New Panel
Batman: Yet, even though I know you, I have not trusted you. I have not even trusted you with who I am.
New Panel
Batman: If I had, last night might have been prevented, but I didn't, and last night happened,

Batman: and I couldn't do enough to save you, for there is only one of me,

Location: Downtown Gotham
Scene: Downtown is in ruins after the floronic men and Superman's involvement. There is shattered glass, dead bodies of men and women, and pieces of floronic men everywhere. It is as if Gotham had been hit with a tornado. There is a stand with a podium on it. In front of it are members of the press corps. Behind the podium is Batman as Bruce Wayne.
Batman: I'm the God damn Batman!
The reporters go all kinds of crazy. Flashbulbs go off. The reporters yell questions into the air, waving microphones and voice recorders.
Batman (the very epitome of decorum): I'm not answering questions at this time. Just please, let me finish. I am the Batman.

I'm the God Damn Batman
My friend Ben, the same one who feels as though that Batman and Joker needs each other, got upset at me for this ending. He said to me, "Dude! You can't just drop a bomb like that and walk away!"
Well, yes, yes I can.
What is important here is not the revelation that Bruce Wayne is Batman, but why he made the revelation. This is the acceptance of something that very few superheroes have, limitations. This acknowledges that Superman was right, and that he is all too human, which is something I love about Batman.Thursday, December 18, 2008

Location: Downtown Gotham, the next day, it is no longer raining.
Scene: Downtown Gotham is in ruins. There is broken glass everywhere, including ravaged cars, trash, blood, and parts of floronic men. Like tornado damage, but bloodier. In the background, a stand has been set up and there are reporters seated before it. There is a podium on the stand. In the foreground is a news reporter.
News Reporter: We are standing here amidst the wreckage of last night's incident. Though we are all grateful for Superman's timely arrival, massive amounts of damage were caused by him as well as the strange men who appeared during last night's storm. What is even harder to measure is the human cost of this terrible tragedy. Not only did the sonic boom of Superman shatter glass and eardrums as he passed, but many people were also blinded as he broke the light barrier in front of people's eyes. To others it may be a fair price for their lives, for others, a horrible reminder of a night that defies all logic. Now we are awaiting the arrival of industrialist, Bruce Wayne. The Wayne family has long been known for their charity and it is expected that he will announce a relief program for those affected by this awful catastrophe.
Scene: Batman as Bruce Wayne arrives and walks up to the podium.
Batman: Ladies and gentleman, you know me as Bruce Wayne, billionaire, industrialist, philanthropist, but there is something you may not know...

Batman: Some of us work for a living! Some of us were born here!
Batman kneels down and punches Superman in the face with the kryptonite ring.

Alfred walks in.
Alfred: Master Bruce! What do you think you are doing? Go upstairs, now!
Batman stops, gets up, and walks away.
Superman (to Batman's back): Unlike me, one of you isn't enough. I can save them alone, but you can't! You are only human! There is only one of you and there are some things you can't face!

Batman: What did you think you were doing?
Superman (confused): What?
Batman: I didn't ask for your help.
Superman: Bruce, things had obviously gotten out of hand, so I took care of it.
Batman: I had it under control!
Superman: Like hell you did! What were you going to do? Spray some herbicide through the city? Use the Batplane like a crop-duster?
Batman (seething): ...
Superman (incredulous): Oh...That was what you were going to do? That would have taken forever! Do you know how many people would have died? How many people would have lost their parents?
Batman takes off his right glove.
