David S. Goyer - Do You Bleed? lyrics

Cut to DAILY PLANET Clark Kent is typing on his computer when he is delivered an envelope. Inside there is a cutout of the “BAT BRAND OF JUSTICE!” newspaper Alfred had shown Bruce, and four Polaroid pictures of the captured man with the captions “JUDGE”, “Jury”, “EXECUTIONER”, “JUSTICE?” In-between, the movie cuts to the BATCAVE, where Bruce searches for “White Portuguese” in the LexCorp program. He eventually finds pictures and locations of a ship, harbored in Gotham. Bruce checks around the cave as Alfred fiddles with the Batmobile's engine. BRUCE WAYNE The "WHITE PORTUGUESE" is not a man. It's a ship. ALFRED Master Wayne. Since the age of 7, you have been to the art of deception as Mozart to the harpsichord. But you've never been too hot of lying to me. BRUCE WAYNE The WHITE PORTUGUESE isn't carrying a dirty bomb. ALFRED What is it carrying? BRUCE WAYNE It's a weapon. It's a rock. A mineral, capable of weakening Kryptonian cells. The first sample big enough to mean something turned up in the Indian Ocean 3 months ago. It is now aboard the White Portuguese being delivered to Lex Luthor. Who I am going to steal it from. ALFRED To keep it out of Luthor's hands. To destroy it. BRUCE WAYNE No. ALFRED You're going to go to war? BRUCE WAYNE That son of a b**h brought the war to us, 2 years ago. Jesus, Alfred. Count the dead. Thousands of people. What's next? Millions? He has the power to wipe out the entire human race and If we believe there even a 1% chance that he is our enemy, we have to take it as an absolute certainty. And we have to destroy him. ALFRED But, he is not our enemy. BRUCE WAYNE Not today. 20 years in Gotham, Alfred. We've seen what promises are worth. How many good guys are left. How many stay that way. Cut to Daily Planet PERRY WHITE Kent, I want to talk to you. Kent! Where does he go? Where does he go, Jenny? JENNY I don't-I don't know. PERRY WHITE Clicks his heels 3 times, goes back to Kansas I suppose. Son of a... Cut to DC Lois Lane stands in a rainy alleyway, waiting for Swanwick. LOIS LANE I don't have a halo over me, Mr. Secretary. I went into the desert, people died. It keeps me awake. It should! She hands him the bag with the bullet. LOIS LANE If you think Superman is a murderer then throw it away. But, I don't believe you think that. Swanwick walks away. Cut to GOTHAM HARBOR Aboard the White Portuguese, Anatoli Knyazev and his men take a crate out of the ship. The camera pans up a nearby crane, and Batman is standing on top of it with a rifle. The crate is loaded onto a LexCorp truck, as Batman watches from the rifle scope. ANATOLI Move out! After Anatoli closes the back door, Batman fires a homing beacon onto it. The thugs who had just closed the door run towards their vehicles to escort the truck. Just as they leave the port, one of the thugs on the backseat of a car notes the Batmobile is waiting outside. THUG Go, go, go, go! As the thug grabs a machine gun and fires it into the Batmobile's direction once his car starts moving, Batman crashes into a car](8439209), hurling it into a portable trailer. Batman then fires his harpoon launcher at the car and drags it behind him, slamming it into walls and barriers. After chasing down the enemy vehicle who keeps on firing, he detaches the harpoon… THUG No! …and lets the crushed car crash onto the other. As the Batmobile was catching up to the convoy, another car fired at the Batmobile with a gatling. Unfazed, Batman fired his own guns back, eventually destroying the car. Eventually, the truck itself opens, revealing Anatoli with a rocket launcher. The Batmobile continues to chase after the convoy until it takes a turn after seeing an incoming tanker truck – which the car in front of him doesn't, crashing and causing a ma**ive explosion. The Batmobile maneuvers its way around warehouses… ANATOLI Where it is? and lands on top of the convoy, crashing through the roof (narrowly missing Anatoli) and through several docked boats. Nevertheless, Batman continues to chase after the convoy, deploying flares to ward off homing missiles. Suddenly, as he is turning a corner, he crosses paths with Superman. The Batmobile collides against Superman and crashes into a nearby gas station. Superman remains steady, and tears the roof off the vehicle to confront the vigilante directly as Batman stood up in defiance. SUPERMAN Next time they shine your light in the sky, on't go to it. The Bat is dead. Bury it. Consider this mercy. Superman starts to walk away. BATMAN Tell me. [Superman looks at Batman] Do you bleed? Superman flies away as Batman keeps staring at him. BATMAN You will. The Batmobile runs all the way back to the Batcave. Bruce, now without his cowl, approaches a monitor and presses a bu*ton. The screen starts blinking “SEARCHING FOR TRANSPONDER SIGNAL” before marking the location as “LEXCORP RESEARCH PARK”. There, Lex opens the case and a green glow covers his face.
