The Dynamic Duo is saved from electrical execution by a rolling blackout and they race to Police Headquarters. There they tell the Commissioner that the Batcave is unaffected by the blackout, thanks to anti-crime back-up power. But when we see them in the Batcave seconds later, Dozier narrates that it is now MORNING (Hallelujah!) and the city power is back online! Was this a mistake that no one caught, or something someone actually added in?
And now I finally have my answer! There wasn't any backup power in the first draft at all! Batman and Robin really did wait all night for the power to return! I have no idea why this is so exciting to me, but Tim, you just made my week!Dan E Kool wrote: ↑Sun Jul 23, 2017 9:47 am If the Dynamic Duo has been working all night, why not mention it in the narration? Wouldn't those hours of sleepless work be worth a line from Doomsday? The way the line is, it sounds like the night passed and the Duo basically waited for power to return (Hallelujah and all). Had Doomsday said nothing at all, it would be obvious to the viewer that Batman is doing exactly what he said he would in the previous scene - working with the Batcave reserve power. With the line as-is, we have hours unaccounted for and a wasted joke. IMO.
I hope everything works out for Paul! You're some of the most generous batfans out there and that's appreciated. Again, what's important is family and working things out, so I hope all goes well for him. Take care.bat-rss wrote: ↑Tue Jan 16, 2018 12:12 am In case you didn't hear the announcement I put out in our feed recently, due to Paul's hectic life right now, we're taking time off from the podcast. Will post here again when we have some idea when we'll be recording our episode about this script -- no sooner than March, I'm guessing.![]()
Thanks! He's just swamped right now but it won't last forever.
