(Carrie follows Alfred to the batcave)
-------------------------------------------------------------
INT. BATCAVE - WAYNE MANOR
(Carrie and Alfred are at the batcave. Carrie notices Bruce at the computer; eating his daily scones and checking his files on the bat computer. Carrie approaches Bruce)
CARRIE
(to Bruce) Sir Bruce Wayne... Rich man of Gotham. I am here... and ready for your utmost training. From the legendary Batman yourself...
(Batman looks at Carrie)
BATMAN
(smiles; to Carrie) Well you sound ready and determined. That's what I like. You remind me of Tim. Determined and ready to fight any fight...
(Batman stands up. Alfred takes the tray of grains from the scones and the empty mug; and takes it upstairs to wash at the Manor. Carrie follows Batman)
CARRIE
(smiles; to Batman) So Batman... What is our most legendary training? And will I meet Nightwing or Tim...
BATMAN
(to Carrie) No... Nightwing is busy at Bluehaven. And Tim is out of town with Oracle. You are the most appropriate soldier for this case...
CARRIE
(intrigued; to Batman) And what is this case?
BATMAN
(to Carrie) Enemy number 1 - Penguin. Oswald Cobblepott.
CARRIE
(to Batman) Well he was always an ugly crazy fella...
BATMAN
(to Carrie) Back to business.. He is planning a massive heist at the bank with some manufactured penguin robots he has got himself made.
CARRIE
(to Batman) Oh gee... He really is obsessed with penguins... he really is...
BATMAN
(to Carrie) He is planning the heist at midnight. I have intel coming through satellite voices on the batcomputer. I've caught him before the act; and you and I will catch him at the act. And lock him up at Blackgate Penitentiary...
CARRIE
(CONFUSED; TO BATMAN) WHY NOT ARKHAM ASYLUM?
BATMAN
(to Carrie) That system is flawed. I believe they come out even worse after they've been there. I really need to invest my wealth in fixing and refurbishing the entire ARKHAM ASYLUM. It's corrupt as far as I can tell. Now training...
(CARRIE is dressed in her "robin" uniform; in full battle gear. Batman prepares to teach Carrie; the arts of Taekwondo)
BATMAN
(to Carrie) Now the most powerful move I'm teaching you today is the roundhouse kick. One of my favs...
CARRIE
(smiles; to Batman) Have you used this move on the Joker before?
BATMAN
(to Carrie) I've used it on countless villains. Now... (directs Carrie) Now the roundhouse kick involves... kicking with your knee to face straight-forward;
(Batman demonstrates to Carrie the first step)
BATMAN
(directs Carrie) And then rotating your hip to turn over where your foot is going to strike your opponent...
(Batman demonstrates to Carrie the last step. And then the whole roundhouse kick. Carrie attempts but fails)
CARRIE
(saddened; to Batman) Damn... sorry Bruce.. Let me try again...
BATMAN
(to Carrie) Hey... it's all good... Don't be so hard on yourself. No member of the bat family gives up...
CARRIE
(determined; to Batman) Okay... Let me... let me try again...
BATMAN
(smiles; to Carrie) That's what I like to see. NEVER EVER giving up. That's my motto... Now let's try again...
(Batman helps Carrie prepare her body in the right direction of the roundhouse kick)
BATMAN
(directs Carrie) Now make sure the leg you are standing on... not kicking on... is straight. And that the foot of your standing leg rotates... ensuring your toes stay away from your opponent. GO...
(Carrie attempts the roundhouse kick; and succeeds)
CARRIE
(smiles; to Batman) DID I DO IT BRUCE? DID I?
BATMAN
(smiles; to Carrie) You most certainly did... Thank you. You're doing well...
CARRIE
(determined; to Batman) I'll be kicking Penguin's butt in no time...
(Batman smiles)
BATMAN
(smiles; to Carrie) I'm proud of you Miss Kelley. Thank you...
(Alfred returns to the batcave; with a tray containing two glasses and a juice bottle)
ALFRED
(to Carrie) Hello Carrie. Would you like a glass of juice before you fight crime with Master Bruce?
CARRIE
(to Alfred) Yes Alfred... Thanks..
(Alfred pours Carrie a glass of orange juice. He hands the glass to Carrie. Carrie smiles in delight)
CARRIE
(appreciative; to Alfred) Thanks Alfred... Thanks...
(Carrie searches for Bruce; but can not see him in sight. She is confused)
CARRIE
(questions Alfred) Where's Bruce? Where is he?
ALFRED
(to Carrie) Nocturnal habit every night... He's suiting up...
CARRIE
(smiles; to Alfred) Oh... Batman and Robin at it again... Batman and Female Robin... All the other robins are male... I should be called something else...
ALFRED
(to Carrie) Well Robin is a unisex name... and it has been shared by many brave men and yourself. Dick Grayson; Tim Drake; and Jason Todd. And now yourself..
(Carrie smiles. Bruce returns; and approaches Alfred and Carrie - in his batsuit; now sparking the full alter ego of Bruce Wayne - the BATMAN. Carrie grows excited alongside fighting crime with the legendary BATMAN of GOTHAM CITY)
ALFRED
(to Bruce) Master Bruce... Before you fight crime tonight... would you like one glass of orange juice?
BATMAN
(to Alfred) Yes... thanks Alfred. Thanks...
(Alfred pours Bruce a glass of orange juice. Bruce consumes the juice; and burps)
BATMAN
(chuckles; to Alfred & Carrie) Excuse me... Sorry...
CARRIE
(chuckles; to Batman) Now that's not what a rich man, playboy should do... (laughs)
(Alfred and Batman laughs)
ALFRED
(chuckles; to Carrie) Well it's what this playboy does...
(Batman pulls out a remote control from his utility belt; and presses the "ACTIVATE" button. The batmobile rages on with the engine running. Carrie grows amazed looking at the batmobile)
CARRIE
(in awe; to herself) The batmobile... Looks amazing... and so elegant... and so... just so amazing... I can not believe my eyes..
ALFRED
(chuckles; to Batman) Be careful Miss Kelley doesn't attempt to drive it by herself...
(Carrie laughs)
BATMAN
(determined; to Carrie) Let's go stop the Penguin. You and me Carrie... Let's go..
(Batman activates the batmobile doors to open. Carrie in awe; hops in the front passenger side of the batmobile; and enjoys the roomy; elegant exterior)
BATMAN
(to Alfred) Bye Alfred... Bye...
(Batman hugs Alfred)
ALFRED
(concerned; to Batman) Be careful Master Bruce... I always fear the day you're not coming home...
BATMAN
(assures Alfred) Alfred... It'll be fine... Bye...
(Batman hops in the driver seat of the batmobile. Alfred watches the batmobile drive off)

BATMAN
(directs Carrie) Carrie... please be careful when you fight... I don't want to lose you like I...
(Batman doesn't finish the sentence. His greatest fear is losing Carrie; like he thought he lost Jason Todd)
CARRIE
(to Batman) Like Jason...
BATMAN
(to Carrie) Yes...
(Batman takes a sharp right)
CARRIE
(to Batman) Understood... (imitates Alfred) Master Bruce...
(Batman chuckles)
BATMAN
(chuckles; to Carrie) You are not Alfred Miss Kelley... You are Carrie...
CARRIE
(chuckles; to Batman) I know Bruce... I know...
(Carrie continues looking out the window; at sight of the night of GOTHAM CITY. They drive past CRIME ALLEY)
CARRIE
(concerned; to Batman) Oh... Crime Alley... That... just that sight of that location must... it must traumatise you... Why drive past it every night?
BATMAN
(to Carrie) Because that's where all the big gangs like to hang out... and yes... it's hard...
(Batman takes a sharp left. They are nearing the ICEBERG LOUNGE)
CARRIE
(concerned; to Batman) I'm sorry...
BATMAN
(to Carrie) Before my parents died... it used to be known as Park Row... and then... (viciously) That filthy mongrel Joe Chill..
(Batman realises his internal viciousness; and quickly calms back down0
BATMAN
(saddened; to Carrie) Sorry... I just... It gets to me. I just can't erase that image and that visual out of my mind... it drives me to do this each and every night...
CARRIE
(to Batman) I know...
(Batman and CARRIE arrive at the ICEBERG LOUNGE)
-------------------------------------------------------------

Batman parks the batmobile. Carrie takes her seatbelt off; so does Batman. They both hop out of the batmobile)
BATMAN
(to Carrie) Carrie...
(Batman doesn't finish his sentence)
CARRIE
(questions BATMAN) What is it Batman?
BATMAN
(to Carrie) Just be careful... Be strong... Be a soldier... But also be careful...
CARRIE
(to Batman) Got it B-man...
BATMAN
(chuckles; to Carrie) Only that crazy Harley calls me that...
CARRIE
(determined; to Batman) Let's go kick ass BATMAN...
(Batman smiles; and leads Carrie inside. Batman opens the ICEBERG LOUNGE, and notices the PENGUIN sitting on his elegant, red-velvet printed chair; upstairs. Penguin pulls out a mini control and presses the "ACTIVATE" button - little mechanical penguins speed down the stairs)
BATMAN
(to Penguin) IT's OVER PENGUIN...
PENGUIN
(to Batman) I will not give up little BAT... I WILL NOT... (to thugs) GET THE BAT.
(The thugs run downstairs; and attack Batman. Batman battles the thugs by a few punches and a few kicks; the thugs and groan in agony. THUG 1 grabs a baton; and shows it to Batman)
THUG 1
(to Batman) Hey Bat... Hey... Wanna smack?
(THUG 1 attempts to hit Batman on the chest with the baton. He misses; Batman forcibly takes the baton off of the hands of THUG 1's hands. THUG 1 groans in agony; Batman knees him in the stomach; THUG 1 falls on the ground)
THUG 1
(laughs; to Batman) Oswald will get you... the Penguin will get you..
(THUG 1 laughs. Batman kicks THUG 1 in the stomach. Batman prepares to run upstairs; to capture the PENGUIN. Carrie kicks most of the tiny mechanical penguins down; she prepares to kick the remaining down. HOWEVER - a large burst of tear gas hits Carrie. Carrie's eyes remain infected; and she screams in struggle)
CARRIE
(screams; to Bruce) BRUCE... BATMAN.. BATMAN...
(Penguin hears the words "BRUCE" slur out of Carrie's mouth; whilst she is injured. BRUCE WAYNE hears his name under the mask; and is both concerned and annoyed at Carrie)

(concerned; to Carrie) CARRIE. CARRIE..
PENGUIN
(laughs; to Batman) Capture me or save her... What shall it?
(Batman runs downstairs in aid of Carrie's need. The PENGUIn stands up; and plans his escape)
PENGUIN
(laughs; to Batman) See you next time Bruce Wayne... until next time...
(Batman hears his alter-ego name; and notices PENGUIN's attempted mistake; Batman throws a batarang at the PENGUIN, the Penguin falls on his chubby stomach and grunts in annoyance; and struggles to get back up)
PENGUIN
(disgruntled; to Batman) DAMN BAT... DAMN... DAMN...
(Batman arrives downstairs; and notices Carrie screaming due to the tear gas blinding her eyes; and the struggle for her lungs to breathe healthily. Carrie notices BATMAN fighting the remaining tear-gas infused mechanical penguins - by throwing a batarang at three; and throwing three bat-grenades at the remaining three. The mechanical penguins malfunction and shut down. PENGUIN stands on his knees; and notices the malfunctioned mechanical penguins)
PENGUIN
(yells; to himself) DAMN... DAMN DAMN DAMN... You will pay for that BAT...
(Batman ignites the batclaw; dragging Penguin towards him. PENGUIN tries to squeeze Batman's boots; Batman steps on the PENGUIN's hand; the PENGUIN sobs in pain. Batman then ties the unconscious Penguin up by the back. Batman then tends to Carrie; bending down towards her)

(struggles; to Batman) BATMAN... I ... The tear gas... I can't... I can't do this... I can't...
BATMAN
(concerned; to Carrie) No... No Carrie. Stay strong my girl...
(Carrie collapses. A concerned Batman; grabs his smartphone manufactured at WAYNE ENTERPRISES; and contacts Alfred by satellite communications. Alfred answers)
ALFRED

(concerned; to Alfred) No... No... Carrie is injured.. Quick... I need you to take her to the Batcave...
CARRIE
(struggling; to Batman) BRUCE... Bruce...
(Carrie collapses due to the intense pain of the tear gas hitting her face)
BATMAN
(to unconscious Carrie) It's okay Carrie.... It's okay... I'm gonna get you safe home...

Alfred picks her up; and carefully places the unconscious CARRIE inside the batmobile. Alfred drives off to WAYNE MANOR to tend to CARRIE. MEANWHILE; Penguin laughs at the incident with CARRIE)
PENGUIN
(laughs; to Batman) I know who you are BAT. Rich prick Bruce Wayne.. Aren't you so special. I'm gonna tell...?
(Batman grows frustated with the Penguin; and handcuffs him; and puts him in the boot of the batmobile. The Penguin grunts in frustration; and tries to kick the Batman.

(Alfred smiles; and heads to the Batcave to check on BRUCE WAYNE)
-------------------------------------------------------------
INT. BATCAVE - WAYNE MANOR
(Bruce sits at the batcomputer; still in his batsuit; looking at his computer files. Bruce is still worried of Carrie's safety and well-being; yet is annoyed and concerned of her accidentally revealing his identity to the PENGUIN. ALFRED stumbles by the batcomputer; holding a tray consisting of a teapot and a tea mug; with EARL GREY TEA boiled in the teapot)
ALFRED
(concerned; to Bruce) Master Bruce... I know Miss Kelley is injured... I can tell by your face something is on your mind...
BATMAN
(concerned; to Alfred) Is Carrie alright?
ALFRED
(to Bruce) She's fine... She needs a bit more resting time... I told her to sleep it off..
(Suddenly; the lift arrives on foot at the BATCAVE. Carrie walks out the lift; Bruce notices Carrie. Carrie approaches the batcomputer; and notice Batman)
CARRIE
(smiles; to Batman) Hey Bruce... Did you kick the PENGUIN's BUTT when I was out?
BATMAN
(smiles; to Carrie) Yes I did... But we need to talk about something Carrie. If we may... This needs to be discussed...
(Carrie worries)
CARRIE
(to Batman) Yeah sure Bruce... What's up?
(BATMAN looks at Alfred. Alfred notices this is his move and queue to leave.
ALFRED
(to Batman) I'll be upstairs Master Bruce... I'll be upstairs...
(Alfred heads upstairs to WAYNE Manor. Carrie worries on the conversation she is about to have with BATMAN)
CARRIE
(concerned; to Batman) Have I done something wrong Bruce? Have I? I'm really worried?
BATMAN
(concerned; to Carrie) Well I uh... I understand you were attacked with tear gas... and I apologise I couldn't avoid that happening...
CARRIE
(assures BATMAN) No it's okay Bruce... You were trying to stop the PENGUIN. I understand that...
BATMAN
(to Carrie) Well I... when you were attacked by those mechanical penguins spurting out tear gas; you accidentally revealed my identity..
(This haunts CARRIE, as she fears BATMAN despise her and may be mad at her)
CARRIE
(shocked; to BATMAN) I did...
BATMAN
(to Carrie) YES...
CARRIE
(shocked; to BATMAN) And PENGUIN heard???
BATMAN
(to Carrie) Yes... And now he threatens to tell all his mates; and all the other lunatics at ARKHAM and BLACKGATE my secret identity...
CARRIE
(panics; to Batman) Batman... I'm sorry... I'm sorry Bruce... I understand you may not want me alongside fighting you anymore... I will put the mantle down.. I am so sorry...
BATMAN
(concerned; to Carrie) CARRIE. It's too bad. It's happened... Look... I don't know if I can fight crime anymore... It all stops now... I'm going to be sued like there's no tomorrow...
(Carrie begins to cry in despair)
CARRIE
(cries; to Batman) No this was my fault... This was my... I take full responsibility.
BATMAN
(concerned; to Carrie) It's too late Batman. WAYNE ENTERPRISES will collapse for sure.. too much legal fees I'd have to pay for; it'll take so much wealth and resources from the company... I can't afford to pay Lucius for more bat-equipment and updated tech..
CARRIE
(cries; to Batman) I'm sorry... I understand that you hate me... i understand you despise me... I understand... I...
BATMAN
(assures Carrie) Carrie... I don't hate you... it was an accident... it's just the end... No more Batman... I'm just...
(BATMAN turns the BAT-TV on. GOTHAM NEWS NETWORK; broadcasts footage of the PENGUIN at BLACKGATE Penitentiary)
PENGUIN
(filmed; to camera) That filthy stinky BAT. IS THAT RICH PRICK BRUCE WAYNE? The man who owns a massive mansion in the rich suburbia of GOTHAM CITY. The rich prick who thought he was better than the rest of us; with his big, fancy batmobile and big fancy gadgets and weapons... SUE HIS ASS. ALL OTHER VILLAINS IN THIS CITY.. SUE THE ASS OF BRUCE WAYNE...
(The camera cuts off. Carrie is completely devastated of herself revealing the identity of her great combat partner BRUCE WAYNE/BATMAN).
CARRIE
(cries; to BATMAN) Batman... This is all my fault... Your company is gone... Your nocturnal habit of BATMAN is gone... I... Sue me..
BATMAN
(concerned; to Carrie) No CARRIE. I will not give up on you... It was a complete accident what you did... It's okay... You will always be my favourite ROBIN. (whispers) Don't tell Dick or Tim I said that...
CARRIE
(cries; to BATMAN) But what are you going to do Bruce... what are you going to do? Your days of being my most favourite, legendary BATMAN is over.. WHAT ARE YOU going to do?
(BATMAN hops off his chair; and hugs CARRIE)
BATMAN
(to Carrie) I will find something else to do... It's okay... But my most biggest wish for you... is to carry on my legacy. Crimefight... I will teach you all other skills of TAEKWONDO I know. Please keep my legacy going... That would be my dream..
CARRIE
(to BATMAN) If I was you... I'd be so upset with me.. Your whole career and nightly habit is gone... because of a stupid girl's words..
BATMAN
(firm; to Carrie) NO CARRIE. Don't ever say that... DON'T ever give up... That's one of my most favourite mottos... you know that... We all make mistakes... but I want you to carry on crimefighting. Continue saving this city... my GOTHAM CITY from thugs like PENGUIN and Joker....
CARRIE
(cries; to BATMAN) And Two-face... Victor Zsasz, Mister Freeze...
BATMAN
(smiles; to Carrie) The whole crazy gang... The whole gang..
CARRIE
(cries; to BATMAN) I'm so sorry....
(BATMAN hugs Carrie again)
BATMAN
(to Carrie) Please don't put yourself down ROBIN. Please don't... Respect and follow my wish... Please...
CARRIE
(cries; to BATMAN) I will... But will we keep in contact...
BATMAN
(assures Carrie) YES... We definitely will... Let me teach you another TAEKWONDO MOVE...
CARRIE
(cries; to BATMAN) Okay.. Okay...
(Batman walks to the sparring dummy)
BATMAN
(to Carrie) FOLLOW me...
(Carrie follow Batman to the sparring dummy. BATMAN then demonstrates to CARRIE the AXE KICK)
BATMAN
(to Carrie) That is the AXE KICK. (directs Carrie via the sparring dummy) To do the AXE KICK. Raise your leg up towards the opponent. Once your leg is up high; then bring it down with exerting force...
(BATMAN slowly demonstrates to Carrie again the AXE KICK. He then repeats it again; but at a much faster pace)
BATMAN
(to Carrie) Now you try...
(Carrie attempts the AXE KICK on the sparring dummy. She messes up)
CARRIE
(determined; to BATMAN) No let me try again Bruce... Let me...
(Carrie does the AXE KICK on the sparring dummy; performing the kick successfully this time. BATMAN is pleased)
BATMAN
(smiles; to Carrie) Well done Miss Carrie... Well done... You are just too good... Now in the future; your crimefighting buddy will be Tim Drake. My third Robin. You will work with him and help reinstall peace and community to GOTHAM CITY... Understood? Will you do that for me?
CARRIE
(to BATMAN) Yes... Yes I will Bruce..
(Carrie hugs BATMAN)
CARRIE
(to BATMAN) You really are the best taekwondo teacher... Thanks Bruce... And I'm sorry...
BATMAN
(to Carrie) No don't worry about it... As long as someone carries on my legacy... I'd be happy with that... Now... (pulls out batarang from utility belt) The batarang...
CARRIE
(smiles; to Batman) The most legendary batarang...
(BATMAN smiles)
BATMAN
(to Carrie) All right... Now I used the batarang to subdue villains and to handicap them from afar...
CARRIE
(questions BATMAN) Who have you hit the batarang with most?
(Batman chuckles at the question)
BATMAN
(to Carrie) Probably the Joker... He tries to escape from me too much...
(Carrie laughs)
BATMAN
(directs Carrie) Now with the batarang. They must be fired from your wrist... so like this. I usually aim for the chest... so...
(BATMAN demonstrates to Carrie; the proper method of firing the batarang at the sparring dummy's chest. CARRIE is in awe)
CARRIE
(amazed; to BATMAN) Woah Bruce... Amazing... Amazing...
BATMAN
(to Carrie) Now you give it a shot...
(BATMAN hands Carrie a batarang. Carrie attempts to throw the batarang correctly at the chest of the sparring dummy; but fails. BATMAN notices Carrie's mistake)
BATMAN
(instructs Carrie) From the waist remember.
(BATMAN demonstrates to Carrie once again; the correct method of throwing the batarang at the chest of the sparring dummy. Carrie watches and attempts again; she succeeds the second time)
CARRIE
(smiles; to BATMAN) I did it Bruce... I did it...
BATMAN
(smiles; to Carrie) Yes.. You did... Great... Of all the Robins I've had - Dick, Tom, Jason and you... You tend to be the fastest at learning... It's excellent...
CARRIE
(smiles; to BATMAN) Well thanks Bruce... Thanks...
BATMAN
(assured; to Carrie) A bit more training. But I'm assured you can fight in the front line with Tim... You're doing well. Training two times a week...
CARRIE
(smiles; to BATMAN) Thanks Bruce.
