Approaching its 200th Anniversary, Gotham City’s
Author:unloginuser Time:2024/12/23 Read: 6869Approaching its 200th Anniversary, Gotham City’s leaders fear that the high level of criminal activity will deter citizens from attending the celebrations. Gotham’s Mayor Borg orders District Attorney Harvey Dent to make the city safe again, in hopes of revitalizing local business. Dent, in turn, targets mob boss Carl Grissom, who sponsors much of the criminal activity within Gotham and has paid off a significant segment of the police force.
Meanwhile, a dark vigilante dressed as a bat has attracted the attention of both the police and the local media. Newspaper reporter Alexander Knox is attempting to investigate, but his questions are deflected by skeptical cops, including Lt. Max Eckhardt, one of many police officers on the take from Grissom. After stonewalling Knox, Eckhardt is shown taking a payoff from Grissom’s second in command, Jack Napier.
Grissom, on discovering that his mistress, Harleen Quinzel is involved with Napier, sets him up to be killed by Eckhardt in a raid on Axis Chemicals. The plot is foiled by the arrival of Commissioner Gordon, who wants Napier taken alive, and Batman. Batman captures Napier, but releases him when Bob holds Gordon hostage at gunpoint. Batman vanishes, and in the confusion, Napier shoots and kills Eckhardt, then attempts to shoot a re-emerged Batman. The latter deflects his shot, sending shrapnel into the former’s face. Napier falls over a railing into a vat of toxic chemicals. Although surrounded by the police, Batman escapes the scene.
Batman, as we discover, is actually billionaire industrialist Bruce Wayne, an orphan who lives alone in the large mansion Wayne Manor, with only his butler Alfred in attendance. At a fund-raising party, Bruce’s eye is caught by a sexy ass, covered by a tight red dress. Bruce goes over to the ass and gives it a squeeze. The ass’ owner, sexy model Selena Kyle turns around and introduces herself. They arrange to meet up with each other later the same night.
At 12:00 PM, they meet back up at Bruce’s mansion. They eat dinner together and Bruce tells Selena about how his parents died when he was just 11. Selena reveals her own tragic childhood, with her father being a burglar, and her mother being a sex-worker. Bruce then remarks that if Selena’s mother was just as sexy as Selena herself, she probably would’ve made quite a bit of money as a sex worker. Selena takes off her shirt in front of Bruce and walks away. Bruce follows her to his bedroom where he sees her in his bed wearing nothing but her panties. Bruce joins her in bed and they have sex.
Napier, in the meantime, is not dead but horribly disfigured, with chalk white skin, emerald green hair, and a permanent ruby red grin (after a botched reconstructive surgery attempt). Already erratic, the trauma has apparently driven him completely insane. Calling himself “The Joker”, he kills Grissom and usurps his criminal empire, killing off two of the latter’s loyal partners in the process. His first scheme is to spread terror in the city by creating hygiene products that can kill by fatal hilarity when used in certain combinations, laced with a deadly chemical known as “Smylex.” Following the death of a news anchor on-air, the city becomes paralyzed with fear. Joker reunites with Harleen, who is terrified by the Joker’s clown-like appearance and tries to run away from him, but Joker has his goons subdue Harleen before making passionate love to her.
Meanwhile, Selena Kyle has a secret identity as the elite cat burglar, Catwoman, who dons a sexy, leather catsuit that perfectly shows off her ample features. One night, she attempts to rob the Flugelheim art museum but is interrupted by the Joker and his goons, who begin disfiguring the various artworks. The Joker sits down with Catwoman and cheekily ogles her sexy body. The Joker also unveils his new version of Harleen Quinzel, who now goes by Harley Quinn and shares the clown-like aesthetic of her lover, while also donning a sexy outfit involving nothing but a red and black sports bra with matching panties. Joker attempts to seduce Catwoman, but she claims that she “Wouldn’t touch him to scratch him”. Angered by this, the Joker attempts to force himself on Catwoman, but Batman descends in a shower of glass via the window ceiling and saves Catwoman, to whom he then gives the secret of the Joker’s chemical combinations as they drive away from the Joker’s gang. They get back to the batcave, where Catwoman takes her mask off and shows Batman her face. Batman recognises Catwoman as Selena but he chooses not to reveal his own identity.
Bruce then shows up at Selena Kyle’s apartment and stumbles his way through an attempted confession of his secret identity. Selena asks Bruce to say what he wants to say, and Bruce confesses that he is Batman. Selena is left shocked for a moment, but she barely has time to process her reaction when the Joker bursts in and attempts to woo Selena. Selena rejects Joker but Bruce makes some small-talk with the Joker before threatening to murder him. In response, the Joker shoots Bruce and leaves the apartment. Selena checks to see if Bruce is okay, before Bruce reveals that he was wearing a bullet-proof vest underneath. Bruce and Selena make out before vowing to work together to stop the Joker.
The Joker has put his own plans in motion to upstage the city’s cancelled anniversary celebrations with a grand spectacle: a night-time parade at which he will dispense $20 million in free cash. In the middle of his generosity, the Joker begins gassing the crowd. Batman arrives in the Batwing and snatches the balloons away to carry them out of the city. Furious, the Joker shoots Bob the Goon, his number one thug. Batman returns to make a strafing run on the Joker, who responds by shooting down the jet with an insanely long-barreled revolver. The Batwing crashes next to the Gotham cathedral, where Harley and the Joker go into to consummate their fiendish union. Catwoman manages to find the wrecked Batwing and saves Batman from the rubble. Dazed but not finished, Batman pursues. At the top of the cathedral, the Joker and Harley are given a grotesque wedding ceremony where Harley gives the Joker a blowjob to consummate their relationship. But as the joker is caught up in heavenly pleasures, Batman decks him in the face, leading to a violent confrontation between the two.
In a moment of opportunity, the Joker throws Batman off the belfry, where he clings to the ledge for his life. As the Joker begins mocking him his helicopter appears and he grabs hold of a dangling rope ladder. About to escape, Batman shoots a wire around the Joker’s leg, connecting it to a stone gargoyle on the ledge. The Joker isn’t able to pull his weight, and he plummets. Batman tries to grapple up and over the ledge but he realises he’s out of rope. Just when he thinks he’s about to die, Catwoman reappears and saves him from almost certain death. They both take their masks off and begin passionately necking with each other. Batman and Catwoman leave the cathedral before they can be spotted and both the Joker and Harley are arrested.
The movie ends with Commissioner Gordon announcing the Gotham police have arrested all the Joker’s gang remnants, and unveiling the Bat Signal supplied by Batman with a note promising to return if the city needs him.
The bicentennial celebrations loomed over Gotham, a shadow cast not by the looming anniversary, but by the city’s pervasive crime. Mayor Borg, his face etched with worry, leaned on Harvey Dent, the District Attorney. “Dent,” he rasped, “Gotham’s reputation hangs in the balance. Grissom has to go down. Make the city safe.”
Dent, a man of unwavering principle, set his sights on Carl Grissom, the city’s undisputed crime lord, a man whose tentacles reached into every corner of Gotham’s corrupt underbelly. He’d bought and paid for a significant portion of the police force, including Lieutenant Max Eckhardt, a man whose loyalty had a price.
Meanwhile, a creature of the night, a dark figure cloaked in shadow and the symbol of a bat, patrolled the city’s rooftops. Alexander Knox, a tenacious reporter for the Gotham Gazette, doggedly pursued the story of this enigmatic vigilante, but his inquiries were met with stony silence and outright obstruction by the police, especially from Eckhardt. Knox witnessed Eckhardt accepting a bribe from Jack Napier, Grissom’s ruthless second-in-command.
Grissom, discovering an affair between Napier and his own mistress, Harleen Quinzel, orchestrated Napier’s demise. Eckhardt was to eliminate Napier during a raid on Axis Chemicals. However, the raid went sideways. Commissioner Gordon, wanting Napier alive for questioning, and Batman, arrived on the scene. Batman captured Napier, but the situation devolved when Bob, one of Grissom’s thugs, held Gordon at gunpoint. In the chaos, Napier shot and killed Eckhardt before falling into a vat of chemicals, his body grotesquely altered. Batman vanished into the night.
By day, Batman was Bruce Wayne, a billionaire industrialist haunted by the loss of his parents. At a lavish fundraiser, he met Selena Kyle, a stunning model with a captivating allure. Their attraction was immediate, leading to a passionate night at Wayne Manor. Bruce revealed his tragic past, and Selena shared her own difficult childhood, a story that, to Bruce, highlighted the harsh realities that drove many to crime.
Napier, horribly disfigured but alive, was transformed. He called himself the Joker, a chaotic agent of anarchy. He murdered Grissom, seizing control of his empire. His first act of madness: unleashing deadly hygiene products laced with Smylex, a toxin that induced fatal laughter. Panic gripped Gotham.
Selena Kyle, unbeknownst to Bruce, was Catwoman, a master thief with a penchant for danger. She attempted to rob the Flugelheim Museum only to be confronted by the Joker, who was defacing priceless artwork. A bizarre encounter with the Joker and his newly-minted accomplice, Harley Quinn (the transformed Harleen), left Catwoman both terrified and intrigued.
Bruce’s attempt to confess his secret identity to Selena was interrupted by the Joker, who was attempting to woo Selena before shooting Bruce who, luckily, was wearing a bulletproof vest.
The Joker’s grand plan: a massive giveaway of $20 million in cash during a night-time parade. But the generosity was a smokescreen for a deadly gassing. Batman, in the Batwing, thwarted the Joker’s initial attempt, but the Joker shot down the Batwing. Catwoman rescued Batman.
The final showdown took place atop Gotham Cathedral. A chaotic battle ensued, culminating in Batman’s near-death plunge from the belfry, only to be saved by Catwoman. They shared a kiss, a moment of intimacy amidst the chaos. The Joker and Harley were apprehended, their reign of terror brought to an abrupt end. The city, bruised but not broken, looked towards the future, with a renewed hope, and the silent guardian watching from the shadows. The Bat-Signal, a promise of protection, shone brightly in the Gotham night.
