Dunno if it's kosher or not - haven't had time to read it yet. I'll have a closer look when I get home from work.

Removed already!!
It's just a shame nobody thought to save a copy of the PDF file, just in case.
Yessir, real shame...
Not really a spoiler, but a small snippet from the script that made me smile:

Why would anyone actually want to read it?? I wanna SEE it!
True Mr D, I haven't read it myself and will wait for the movie... if I can avoid spoilers that is ;-)

There is still a script at the following. Not sure if its the real deal or not but its worth a look any way for "educational purposes".
Link: Is this it?
and it's gone again. pish. only skimmed it last time.
Saw the teaser trailer yesterday. It looks like we are not going to be disapointed. The end flash is a dark figure with a cloak flowing round it, obviously Batman but you only get an impression of it. The rest is quick flicks between scences of Bruce at parents funeral, falling down hole to Batcave, going round the world too Bat figure. It has a voice over with the usual "because of my parents murdered infront of me" speech, but it sounds just perfect.
I love the way it's pitched as though he's hunting some demon, then at the end says 'There is something out there in the darkness. Something terrifying. Something that will not stop until it gets revenge.'
'Me.'
And the Batman shots are then excellent.
i couldn't see it properly. image went all funny. will try again.
Actually, I thought it was a bit cheesy.
What it reminded me of, more than anything else, was that bit in Futurama where Fry asks the big planet-sized brain "what killed the dinosaurs?", and it says in this deep voice "ME!"
Might be a good film, but I wonder will WB give dues to that guy who made the fan movie (Dead End) that it's based on, because there is NO WAY IN HELL that Hollywood producers would approve a minimalist* Batman project without seeing some ad or music video that they could steal ideas from first.
*if you discount the bat-tank, camp villians and a-list casting that is.
Minimalist is what the comics have been for a long time. It hasn't been based on Dead End.
Actually when I dig up the link I will put up his new endevour. Bats and Supes together.
