Hey all,
The promotion for The Batman: Arkham City is now picking up! Earlier today, I was thinking about what a trailer for the upcoming FanFic would look like. I have created what I think, would be a pretty interesting trailer! Before we start, don't forget to vote for how YOU want Arkham City to end! And if you have no idea what the hell I'm talking about, then click HERE to be re-directed to my fansite where you can read all other FanFic articles relating to The Batman!
The Batman: Arkham City Trailer #1
EXT. Darkness. Camera slowly zooms across the city skyline. The buildings are run-down and old. NEW SHOT. The camera looks down on the city ground. Explosions rise up and cover the shot.
Alfred:
You cannot quit now Sir. This is the time that Gotham needs you the most. You said last time was bad Master Wayne, you haven't seen nothing yet.
INTERCUT. A black quadbike with a circular rocket boost races forward. NEW SHOT. The camera is looking up on a helicopter flying across the same exploding city. Batman is hanging on to the bottom.
Bruce:
I can't handle it Alfred. I took time off last time, I nearly lost my sanity. He's too strong. Gotham is crumbling. I knew Arkham City was a bad idea.
NEW SHOT. The mayor is announcing Arkham City at a press conference.
Mayor:
I am proud to announce the construction of a mega-prison, Arkham City! Lower Gotham will be transformed into the city and it will house all inmates of Arkham Asylum, Blackgate Prison...
The voice get's quieter as he announces the prison list. NEW SHOT. A red motorbike flips forwards and slides across the road.
Alfred:
You have help this time around.
NEW SHOT. A woman in a black jumpsuit falls through the roof of a building and beats up two guards. She defeats the last one by sliding along the floor and knocking him over using her extended leg. She finishes in a cat-like pose. She has a cowl and wears goggles.
NEW SHOT. Blackjack kicks a door down and walks in with a gun outstretched in his hand. He is wearing a police uniform and members of the SWAT team are directly behind him wearing riot gear. He looks dramatically different.
Bruce:
There's not enough. In all honestly, in a battle consisting of a man who dresses up as a bat, a cat burglar, SWAT team, the GCPD-
NEW SHOTS. As Bruce lists the people helping him, shots of them appear. A shot of Batman riding the black quad bike, Catwoman using her whip to strangle some guards, the SWAT team running along a broken street with fire and broken cars surrounding them, and Gordon and Blackjack running down the steps of city hall, guns in hand.
-Versus a man with the strength of 30 bodybuilder, is 9" tall, walks around wearing khaki combat trousers and boots, along with his army of prisoners and soldiers, who do you think will win?
INTERCUT. A large Hulk-like man is shown jumping through a building, standing amongst the flaming wreckage of a building and a crashed plane, leading prisoners out of a stone prison, throwing a white van at the charging SWAT team and lastly, leaping 20" into the air off of a sandy beach, grabbing the bottom of a black helicopter and bringing it crashing down onto the stone prison behind.
Alfred:
It depends on your determination.
Bruce:
I have more determination than him.
Alfred:
I am always on your side Bruce, but he is sat in Arkham City right now, and he has Gotham in the palm of his hands. You are undoubtedly extremely determined, but I put forth this question to you, how determined must a man be to kill another man whilst he is in prison?
INTERCUT. We don't see Alfred+Bruce talking during their scenes. They're voiceovers to scenes mentioned earlier. Intercut during their last piece of dialogue is a dark screen and the Batlogo slowly appears on the screen. When Alfred finishes speaking, the background is white and mysterious chanting starts.
BANE BANE MATARLOS MATARLOS BANE BANE MATARLOS MATARLOS BANE BANE LE MATARIA MATARIA
This chanting continues as Bane starts to speak.
Bane:
Calm now my brothers, I prefer to let my victims live rather than kill them. Batman, killing you will only end your ordeal. Instead I shall.... BREAK YOU!
The Batlogo crumbles away, leading to an image of Bane walking forwards out of an explosion. He has a menacing look on his face and is shirtless. No scars are on his body. He is Bane. The fire covers the screen, and it turns black. Then, a white words slowly appear on the screen, forming:
