The sound of cracking. Splintering. A shape appears in ice. The shape of a bat symbol. A Death's Head face mask.

Meanwhile the Shady Lady Casino at Night in Gotham City above the entrance a seventy-foot neon Rita Hayworth lookalike seductively posed with one hand on her hip the other behind her head winks at the traffic below. You can almost hear. Put the blame on Mame boys....on Rita's head.

This has been a long time coming, fellas. Three years on the plates alone. I think you'll find the product worth the wait. Go ahead. Take a good look, boys.....

Batman circles behind her head on a bat glider and lands silently on the roof. He steps from the glider and looks around, making sure no one is up there with him. He moves to a certain spot and pulls out a device which he aims at the roof. It fires a dart into the roof with a thwump. The portion sticking out of the roof looks like a small antenna.

Batman pulls an earphone from his belt which he puts to his ear. We hear filtered voices from below......

At The Suite Below it's a plush garish hotel suite. Marble fountain, gold lame wallpaper....the room they give Sinatra. A fifty-ish, squat racketeer.....Chuckie Sol (Joe Pesci in a good suit) is showing off a suitcase full of counterfeit one-hundred dollar bills to his goons. One of the Goons holds it up to a light and squints.

Goon # 1: Jeez, Mr. Sol, I can't tell the difference.

Chuckie: You'd need one of them neutron microscopes. It's identical down to Ben Franklin's stubble.

Chuckie plucks it from the Goon's hand. As he steps over to the suitcase and places the bill back with the stacks of other bills.

Chuckie: I want it laundered through the casino at a half mil a week. Three-quarter mil by March. Anybody got a problem with that?

The Goons nods....

Just then the Dark Knight crashes through the window. Glass flies like a bomb just hit.

Goon # 2: HEY!

Goon # 3: HEY!

The two of goons turned around to Batman.

Goon # 1: THE BATMAN!

Batman (Christian Bale) stood up.....
