43FREEZE FIRES his gun, freezing the legs of the mighty

Brontosaur.

FREEZE:

What killed the dinosaurs? The ice age.

44/45 Freeze pushes on the belly of the beast, the mighty

creature toppling forward, EXPLODING in front of Batman

and Robin.

46ROBIN

He's definitely extinct.

47/48 BATMAN AND ROBIN skate fast to avoid the debris.

49AN ICEMAN flies in from the side, hitting Robin's hand,

sending the gem flying free.

50ANOTHER ICEMAN skates to the gem, HITTING it with his

stick, sending the diamond flying up onto the landing by

the front doors.

51FREEZE has made it to his truck, is climbing towards the

hatch.

52THE ICEMEN are a rushing wall between the caped crusaders

and the gem. Batman and Robin skate toward the villains,

pulling flagpoles from a display as if they are about to

joust the Icemen.

At the last second, Batman and Robin drive their poles

into the ice, vaulting over the heads of the Icemen

towards the landing and the waiting gem above.

53FREEZE has climbed to the hatch of his vehicle.

FREEZE:

Hit me boys.

54/55 Batman and Robin land on the landing inches from the gem.

An Iceman skates from the wings, with a SLAPSHOT, sends

the diamond flying.

56FREEZE'S GLOVE - CLOSE. The diamond HITS. A perfect

catch.

FREEZE:

Thanks for playing.

57Freeze drops into the cab of his giant drilling truck.

The hatch starts to slide closed.

58BATMAN

Round up the thugs. I'll get Freeze.

59/60 Batman leaps onto the banister, slides standing down the

rail and jumps, dropping into the closing hatch after

Freeze.

61INT. DRILLING TRUCK - CONTROL CAPSULE

A bank of control panels are set inside the giant glass

head of the drill. Batman falls in to find Freeze standing

at the main console.

BATMAN:

Stop the insanity.

FREEZE:

Nice of you to drop in.

Freeze hits a button. A tremendous ROAR.

62INT. MUSEUM

The capsule, set on the end of an ejection cylinder,

BLASTS out of the drilling truck, rising like a rocket

towards the roof.

63ROBIN jumps on another banister, slides down, grabs a

banner and swings himself onto the side of the cylinder,

clutching a porthole ledge and hanging fast.

64EXT. GOTHAM MUSEUM

The capsule BLOWS through the top of the museum, ROCKETING

towards the starry night sky above.

65ZOOM IN. Robin clings to the side of the rocket for dear

life.

66INT. CAPSULE

Batman is thrown to the floor by the powerful

acceleration. Freeze stays upright, protected by his

mighty suit.

BATMAN:

You were a great scientist once.

Don't squander your genius on evil.

FREEZE:

I hate being lectured.

67Freeze throws Batman, hard, into the bulkhead, uses his

pistol, to FREEZE Batman's ankles and wrists to the wall

in chunks of ice.

FREEZE:

Watch the numbers, Batman. For they

are the harbingers of your doom.

68ALTIMETER CLOSE. 10,000 feet and climbing fast.

FREEZE:

Can you feel it coming? The icy cold

of space. At 30,000 feet your heart

will freeze and beat no more.

THE ALTIMETER CLOSE. 15,000 feet and rising.

69EXT. CAPSULE

Robin has climbed onto the nose-cone. Is struggling

against the acceleration, using bat-magnets to crawl

towards the escape hatch.

70INT. CAPSULE

Freeze steps into a glide-wing backpack mounted on the wall.

FREEZE:

After you have frozen, your icy tomb

will plummet back to Gotham.

BATMAN:

Freeze, you're mad. This capsule

will slaughter thousands.

Freeze releases the door behind him, the sky WHIPPING past

beyond.

FREEZE:

Ain't it grand? Freeze well.

Freeze leaps out into the night.

71EXT. NIGHT SKY

Freeze begins to plummet towards the lights of Gotham

below.

72FREEZE'S BACKPACK - CLOSE. A sleek wing extends from its

housing. Freeze angles himself downward in mid air, using his

glide wing to control his fast flight towards the distant city.

73INT. CAPSULE

74The controls, the glass nose-cone, the capsule itself are

all frosting over. The hatch opens. Robin drops in.

ROBIN:

I was just hanging around.

BATMAN:

I thought you were going to stay in

the museum and round up the thugs.

ROBIN:

How about, nice to see you? Glad

you're here to save my life.

75Robin pulls a laser from his utility belt, FLASH MELTS

one of his ice-shackles.

BATMAN:

When we get home, we're having a

little communication workshop.

Robin FLASH METLS the other ice gauntlet. Batman is free.

ROBIN:

Is it cold in here or is it just me?

76ALTIMETER - CLOSE. 20,000 and rising. Ice is forming

everywhere.

BATMAN:

Got to make sure this rocket doesn't

turn Gotham into a crater.

77Batman whips a bat-shaped charge, throws it onto the

ceiling. An armed light on the charge flashes green.

ROBIN:

Now what? We call a taxi?

78Batman grabs a handle marked CAUTION: EXPLOSIVE BOLTS.

Robin smiles, grabs a similar handle on the opposing metal

door.

BATMAN:

Watch the first step.

ROBIN:

Surf's up.

79Both pull the release handles, leaping onto the capsule

doors as the EXPLOSIVE bolts BLOW them into space.

80THE BATCHARGE LIGHT - CLOSE. Goes red.

81EXT. NIGHT SKY - FALLING

As the capsule EXPLODES above them raining falling

debris, Batman and Robin skyboard on the doors down

towards...

82FREEZE is ROCKETING to earth, the diamond in his hand.

83BATMAN AND ROBIN race towards Freeze and the city

below.

The caped crusaders avoid skyscraper turrets and elevated

bridges as they follow in Freeze's wake.

84BATMAN swoops down above the villain, pushing off his

skyboard, grabbing Freeze around the neck, the diamond

flying into mid air.

85ROBIN maneuvers in a grand flip, grabs the falling gem.

86/87 FREEZE releases his glide pack buckle, dislodging Batman,

the hero and the glide pack spinning away from Freeze.

88BATMAN dumps the glide pack, arcs back into his rushing

drop.

92FREEZE is descending fast towards the giant smoking

93chimney of a towering industrial complex. He aims his gun

at the smoking toward and FIRES, the fast maw quickly

covering with snow.

94Freeze plummets into the snowy chimney.

95BATMAN AND ROBIN drop into the ice shaft after the

villain.

96FREEZE FIRES his gun as he falls, slowing his descent by

turning the chimney into a madly snaking tunnel of ice

before him.

97BATMAN AND ROBIN tumble head first through layers of snow

after the villain. They pull their Batgrapples and FIRE.

98BATGRAPPLES - CLOSE. Hit the wall. Catch.

99BATMAN AND ROBIN use their tethers to slow their descent,

landing hard in...

100INT. INDUSTRIAL BASEMENT

A long submarine-like corridor

ROBIN:

Cool. Can we do that again?

101Batman and Robin race towards Freeze who is fleeing down

the other end of the corridor. he points his gun at the

ceiling. FIRES.

102The sprinkler system pipes EXPLODE, forming a mighty,

intense blizzard in the wind-tunnel.

103BATMAN

Sudden temperature drop. Watch out

for the...

104A blast of wind ROARS down the tunnel, SLAMMING the

doors, sending snow and ice whipping towards them

BATMAN:

Wind.

105Batman and Robin WHIP their capes over their faces, push

forward, fighting the storm, going through the doors one

by one.
