Trade Union of Evil!

SCENE1

THE JOKER (WEARING A FLAT CAP), THE PENGUIN, THE MADHATTER ARE STANDING AROUND A BRAZIERRE ON THE STREETS OF GOTHAM

THEY ARE WAVING PLACARDS READING

"Up the ante on vigilantes!" "Sink the Batfink!"

THE RIDDLER RUNS PAST CARRYING BAGS OF SWAG

THE OTHER SUPERVILLAINS TUT DISAPROVINGLY

THE RIDDLER TURNS AROUND AND WALKS BACK LOOKING GLUM

SCENE2

BATMAN IS TALKING TO COMISSIONER GORDON

BATMAN
This supervillain strike is just the cowards way of surrendering to the forces of law and order.

GORDON
Batman it's bringing the city to it's knees. If the Penguin doesn't blow up banks there's no work for builders to rebuild them. And 200 funeral directors have gone broke since Mr Freeze stop killing people with his ice ray.

BATMAN
Comissioner Gordon you're caving into the forces of evil!

GORDON
Evil shmevil face it bats our economy is dependent on super villains. We need supercrime you voluntary psychopath!

BATMAN IS TEXTING ON HIS BATBERRY
"Do a mate a solid?"

SCENE3

A BANK DESTROYED, IN FLAMES SMOKE RISING UP FROM IT AND LOADS OF CORPSES

BATMAN LEADS SUPERMAN OUT WHO IS WEARING A BALACLAVA AND HAS A B CRUDELY DRAWN ON THE S ON HIS CHEST.

BATMAN
Super Bad Man you may have killed 300 people but you're reign of terror is at an end!

SUPERMAN
It's a fair cop guv you've got me banged to rights!

THE SUPERVILLAINS BOO THEM AND WAVE THEIR PLACARDS.

It's a bit long for my tastes SootyJ - the joke is all in the first scene really - for me anyway. I'd tighten it and leave it all in there.

True, I was thinking of making the whole thing silent.

I do want to find something to do with the middle bit. There's something in the idea of Gotham as economically dependent on disaster that I like.

Just make it all one scene, have them talking to the super villains maybe??

Could work...

Or set it in the office all round the table negotiating the end of the strike - and make it more relevant to the strikes being threatened now. Ie focus on the Target a bit more so it is allegorically satirical???

Aah the joke would be more at the current disaster management industry.

Ok, strikes are very topical just now though so some confusion may arise as to your target here.

Aah

I see, I could picture a very diferent sketch will get onto it.

Good man

I read this when you posted it last night and I didn't know to comment because the idea has a million possibilities, none of which I think of a resolution for.

Batman Villains on strike - holding pickets, treating working villians as scabs, is a funny concept and would be a funnier visual.

The fact Gotham's whole industry and economy is reliant upon crime, is another funny idea.

This would spawn a good bit about heroes getting lazy and bored because there's psychological need to punish crime is going unfed.

And heroes faking crime to keep up the plaudits and fandom is another funny idea.

But, all put together in one single bit it felt to me like a highbrow sketch that went over my head, like I weren't smart enough to get it, that's why I didn't comment.

Yeh too many ideas.

I did a much better sketch about Batman and the Joker in a sadomasochistic gay relationship.

N.B. I would however like credit for suggesting Batman has a batberry

someone should write a sketch, where batman gets home and Robin is waiting in the dark with an uncooked meal...

"and where were you last night?"
"I was out"
"oh, I see, they don't have phones I take it?"
"Sorry, I shoulda let you know"
"Oh no, no, no, don't apologise, im only the sidekick.
I only iron the costumes and stick batsymbols onto every
single item we buy from Currys"

And so on... Scorned gay Robin.
