The Dark Night:
Starring Norm MacDonald
April 6th, 2009

It doesn't matter that "The Dark Night" is the fourth-highest grossing movie of all-time or that it won a couple of Oscars. The movie would have been way better as a Norm MacDonald comedy vehicle. Here's the proof.

Our Story:

Billionaire Weekend Update reporter by day, crime-fighting vigilante by night, Bruce Wayne has devoted his life to comedy and to protecting the good citizens of Gotham City. But as our tale begins, it seems that someone may have found out about Bruce Wayne's double life.

Blackmailer

So, Mr. Wayne, I found out a little secret about you.

 

 

 

 

 

Bruce Wayne

Are you referring to how awesome I am? Because that's not a secret. Everyone already knows that.

 

 

 

 

 

Blackmailer

Not quite. You see, I know what you do at night. I know you're Batman.

 

 

 

 

 

Bruce Wayne

Yeah right, like I spend my nights stalking grown men while wearing a tight rubber costume. I think that's something that would be more up your alley, you know, because of HOW GAY YOU ACT ALL THE TIME.

 

 

 

 

 

Blackmailer

I beg your pardon, but I'm not gay. In fact, have a wife.

 

 

 

 

 

Bruce Wayne

Look, I don't want to get bogged down in semantics or anything, but if you're married to a woman, but still have have sex with men every week, I'm pretty sure that makes you gay...

 

 

 

 

 

Blackmailer

Perhaps you don't understand, so let me be more clear. If you don't pay me 10 million dollars, I'm going to tell the world that you're Batman.

 

 

 

 

 

Bruce Wayne

Perhaps you don't understand. If don't keep my identity a secret, I'm going to take this Batarang here and stick it up your ass.

 

 

 

 

 

Blackmailer

(gulp)...right...I understand. Sorry I bothered you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Later that day, Bruce catches up with his old flame, Rachel Dawes.

 

Rachel Dawes

My DA career is going great and now I'm seeing this Harvey Dent guy, who is just amazing.

 

 

 

 

 

Bruce Wayne

That's very uninteresting. Well, goodbye.

 

 

 

 

 

With all that boring backstory out of the way, Bruce Wayne dons his Batman costume for what turns out to be an important night. After spending weeks trying to track him down, The Dark Night finally meets face-to-face with the city's most dangerous criminal.

 

Joker

So at last we meet, Batman. Joker's the name...

 

 

 

 

 

Batman

Oh, nice try “Joker”, but you can't fool me with that clown outfit. I know that's you OJ SIMPSON, you murdering murderer, you.

 

 

 

 

 

Joker

Umm, what the hell are you talking about?

 

 

 

 

 

Batman

Oh, don't play dumb with me, OJ.

 

 

 

 

 

Joker

Ok, you know what, since you're not making any sense whatsoever, I'm just going to kill you now, asshole.

 

 

 

 

 

Batman

Good Lord, man! What happened to your face? You should really lay off the CRACK COCAINE.

 

 

 

 

 

Joker

What happened to my face, you say? Well you see, I had a wife, beautiful...

 

 

 

 

 

Don't soil the good name of your wife. It's no one's fault but your own that you've become such a CRACK WHORE. Actually, I apologize. I'm being presumptuous. Maybe you're just an ASSISTANT CRACK WHORE.

Batman

 

 

 

 

 

Joker

Just tell me one thing, and be serious, what makes you think that I'm OJ Simpson?

 

 

 

 

 

Batman

The clues are all there for everyone to see. You've got the green hair, the purple suit, and the former career as Buffalo Bills running back. It was obvious all along.

 

 

 

 

 

Joker

You know what, if being a violent sociopath involves talking to jerks like you, I want nothing to do with it. I surrender.

 

 

 

 

 

Batman

That's right, you better surrender! Officer, arrest this man and take him to jail, where his cellmate will be, you guessed it, FRANK STALLONE!

 

 

 

 

 

Joker

Really? I get to be cellmates with THE FRANK STALLONE?

 

 

 

 

 

Batman

Nah, I was just kidding you. It'll probably be some big black guy who rapes you a lot. Good luck at your trial, Mr. Simpson.

 

 

 

 

 

Joker

MY NAME IS NOT MR. SIMPSON! IT'S...

 

 

 

 

 

Officer

Shut up, OJ. Let's go. You have the right to remain silent...

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks to the efforts of Batman, OJ Simpson will safely be locked away in Arkham Asylum, and the city of Gotham will become just a little bit safer, but there is still the matter of Harvey Dent...

 

Batman

Alright Harvey, you crazy bastard, what's going on here?

 

 

 

 

 

Harvey Dent

Call me “Two-Face”.

 

 

 

 

 

Batman

Why?

 

 

 

 

 

Harvey Dent

Because I have two faces, you idiot!

 

 

 

 

 

Batman

But I only see one face. Maybe you should call yourself “One-Face” to avoid confusion.

 

 

 

 

 

Harvey Dent

One half of my face is all normal-looking see, and the other half is hideously deformed. Get it...”Two-Face”?

 

 

 

 

 

Now wait just a minute here. Just because each HALF of your ONE face looks vastly different from the other doesn't mean that you somehow have an extra face. It's still just one face. Perhaps you'd prefer to call yourself “Two-distinctly-different-halves-of-one-face”.

Batman

 

 

 

 

 

 

Harvey Dent

I'll kill you, you bastard!

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah, that's it. Get all angry at the guy who saved you from OJ Simpson's fiery death trap a couple of nights ago. No need to be grateful or anything. If it wasn't for me, they'd be calling you “Dead-Face”, because you'd be dead.

Batman

 

 

 

 

 

Harvey Dent

You let Rachel die when you saved me! How could you do that?

 

 

 

 

 

Batman

Oh dude, you shouldn't get all upset over Rachel. She was going to dump you soon, anyway.

 

 

 

 

 

Harvey Dent

LIAR! She would never dump me! We loved each other!

 

 

 

 

 

Nah, she told me the other day. She said that for her, the deciding factor was when she realized that:

1.) She was Rachel Dawes,

and that,

2.) She was engaged to Harvey Dent .

Batman

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Harvey Dent

My God, you're right! I've been ugly all along! Therefore, I have no reason to be bitter about my even more hideous face or losing Rachel for that matter. I surrender.

 

 

 

 

 

Batman

Good for you.

 

 

 

 

 

Harvey Dent

Should I go off to jail or just throw myself off this building and die now and save everyone the trouble?

 

 

 

 

 

Batman

I'm not sure. Why don't you flip that coin of yours? That seems to be the only fair way to decide.

 

 

 

 

 

Harvey Dent

Ah, great idea.

(flips)

It's the scratched-up side. I'm going to jump then, see you later.

 

 

 

 

 

Batman

Later.

 

 

 

 

 

As Harvey falls to his death, Batman reunites with Commissioner Gordon.

 

Batman

Now remember Commissioner, I need you to blame me and me alone for Harvey Dent's death as well as the deaths of the people he killed.

 

 

 

 

 

Comm. Gordon

Why, so the people of Gotham don't find out that Harvey Dent was corrupted by a criminal and lose hope in the fight against crime?

 

 

 

 

 

Batman

No, so people continue to think I'm bad-ass and remain afraid of me.

 

 

 

 

 

(The End)

 

And now, here's an exclusive preview for the upcoming Dark Night sequel:

 

Riddler

Riddle me this, Batman...

 

 

 

 

 

Batman

I hope your riddle is about who Germans like the most, because I already know the answer: David Hasselhoff!

 

 

 

 

 

Riddler

Curses! Well, you may have solved that one, but that's just one of my many riddles!

 

 

 

 

 

Batman

Hey, I've got a riddle of my own: Who looks and acts more gay than you?

 

 

 

 

 

Riddler

What? How dare you...

 

 

 

 

 

Batman

The answer is “no one”.

 

 

 

 

 

Riddler

Blast! You've won this round, but I'll get you one day Batman.

 

 

 

 

 

Batman

No you won't. You're just not that clever.
