"Who am I?"

In an empty room darkness surrounded it till a light booms on shining on Harvey Dent tied on an electric chair

He stirs with the light blinding him




Next thing Harvey hears a voice on the speakers

Welcome Mr. Dent.

Harvey wakes up see's himself restrained to the chair in a room of abandoned surrounds and explosives with timing 30 minutes


The District Attorney soon saw a TV with a man in green and purple mask (Robin Williams) smiling at him with glee and Harvey shouts

Harvey: Who the hell are you?!

I'm just a fan of yours. But you can call me....The Riddler.

Harvey: I've heard of you. You're that mystery puzziler we been tracking for a month now.

I'm honored. Really. I'm even more honored you been helping look for me.

Harvey: What'd you want from me?

I brought you here....to solve the greatest riddle of all...the MOTHER of all Riddles in Gotham: Who is....the Batman?

Harvey: How would I know? The man's like a ghost.

Exactly but like any ghost on Scooby Doo he's a man in a mask but I...will solve the riddle but not by unmasking him...but with a riddle....I see without seeing to me dark is clear as daylight: What am I?

Harvey: Insane?

A buzzing sound set off

Eeehhh! Wrong but the judges will give you one last chance. But choose your answer carefully Harvey. You only have 20 minutes left.

Harvey: Go to hell you loony!


The buzz went off again

Nope! Wrong again! The answer wasn't in the form of the question but thank you for playing Mr. Dent.

Just later when Gotham's finest arrived after they solved the riddle that reveals his location 


they burst in grabbing Harvey just seconds before the timer hit zero and BOOM

They barely made it out but the left side of Harvey's face was caught on fire the poor D.A. screamed in agony with his face on fire...and a coin...falling out of his pocket landing on

Scratched mark on the doubled heads



The fire on Harvey's face was put out he groaned in frustration and pain as Batman arrived 


At the Riddler's actual hideout he monitored the progress where he left Harvey he pulled off his hat smirking at Static on his screens


Riddler: Harvey Harvey Dent. Who's blown burned and two faced literally?


Riddler laughed like a child at a carnival 


He then sits up from his chair walking up to his board of police reports marked areas for bombing  and articles of Batman over the last four years 


Riddler: You're good. I'll give you that. But I'll find out who you are.



Back at the abandoned area Harvey's face  was bandaged up and put an ambulance while Batman scanned the are for clues but he found Harvey's coin


He gripped it feeling guilty he didn't save his friend in time 


He placed it in his belt and walked back to Gordon 

Gordon: Poor Harvey. How can anyone nab him without anyone noticing? This could put the city in a panic without Harvey's support in the system. 


Batman: We'll find the man responsible for this Jim.


Gordon: I hope so. First runs Carl Grissom's then Cobblepot pulls Max Shrek's strings then this Riddler maniac shows up and blows the DA's face to hell? What's next?


Batman: Gotham will always have threats. As they will always have protectors.


Bullock: And do you a hell of a job of both! 


Bullock confronts the Dark Knight in disgust

Bullock: Maybe Dent wouldn't be heading for the hospital with a literal scar face if you had just kept out of it!


Batman stared dead at Bullock with emotionless eyes

But Gordon pulls him away from him 


Gordon: That's enough out of you Harvey! 


Bullock pulls his arm out of Gordon's hold on him 


Bullock: Wake up and smell the coffee Commissioner. Zorro here is not one of trusting professionals on their line of work in----


Gordon and Bullock looked over and to their surprise Batman was gone


Gordon: He does that. 



Gotham General on that very morning 

Poor Harvey was under surgery which could only nuchrilized the fatal bleeding but the scaring was likely permanently and bandaged up asleep 


A female doctor (Rene Russo) walks in checking his heart monitor 


Only to hear the door behind her


The Doctor turns her head to her surprise it's billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne 

Doctor: Mr. Wayne?


Bruce: I'm sorry Doctor.  The DA is a good friend of mine. 


Doctor: Nonsense for apology. Come in.


Bruce closes the door behind him and the Doctor introduces herself 


Doctor: I'm Dr. Chase Meridian. Multiple Psychology and Surgerent. 


Bruce: I heard of you. I read your work. 


Chase: I'm flattered. Not every girl meets a billionaire in our shift.


Bruce: Feeling is mutual Doctor. So...how is he?


Chase: He'll live.  But the burns on his face....are pretty surver. I never worked on anything like it before. 


Bruce: All of Gotham is depending on him. Harvey was always a crusader...I just hope he still will be. 


Chase: We'll do all we can Mr. Wayne.


Bruce: Call me Bruce. 


Chase: Only if you call me Chase. 


Chase seems to have a growing attraction to Bruce but unaware to both of them.....


...Harvey's  burnt eye mildly opens breathing silently



(A darkness grows within the DA.....)
