What if director Michael Bay (Transformers, Armageddon) had been the one to reboot the Batman franchise, instead of Christopher Nolan? Then next week’s The Dark Knight might look like the film outlined in this screenplay. (Warning: Some NSFW language.) Kudos to the parodists who created this, though I have to dock you half a point for neglecting a scene where Batman walks in slo-mo toward the camera, away from a fireball (pictured).

Hi-larious. Best line by far: “Which internets do we hack?” “All of them.”
Brillz. Absolutely love it. I’d pay $10 to see this, just to laugh.
My favorite part: “She’s the hottest woman in the world but she wears glasses because she is also the smartest woman in the world”
That’s a horrible hypothetical. Now let’s never speak of it again.
Do you know how much I shuddered just looking at the title!?! NEVER do that to us again! You are bringing on teh curse of Schmacher!
It’s really sad/funny how close I can imagine this is to an actual Michael Bay script. lol It works in some movies…just not Batman.
Hillarious, though the funniest part is the amount of people who posted in TheSpill.com’s comments section thinking that the script was real.
What if Michael Bay directed Batman?
The movie would have an awesome pussycat.
Gary I think a slow mo fireball walk is more John Woo no?
Well, that would still be marginally better than Batman: The Last Stand as directed by Brett Ratner!
Susman, every now and then you make one gem of a posting. That you’ve filed a Micheal Bay concept in the “hell to the no” pile wins you mega brownie points with me.
Once I saw Bay’s 3 hour vision of Pearl Harbor (the movie was longer than the actual invasion BTW), I could no longer give this man any love. His Verizon commercial was cool, but the world’s better off with him directing movies based on toy franchises than movies based on comics or someone else’s idea (ahem. The Island) …
M and Stephanie T, LOL!
The upside of a Rattner flick is that we could get Johnny Drama to cameo in it…
Ha ha. How about Uwe Boll? Talk about craptastic!
This was pure gold. Thanks for posting!
I read the faux script…that’s Independence Day. LOL!
Laugh all you want. It was still better than Batman and Robin.
