Here’s an interesting little scoop. My.spill.com managed to get a hold of Michael Bay’s unsolicited script for The Dark Knight, which of course got instantly rejected by Warner Bros, who released Christopher Nolan’s current record-breaker. The site manages to post a couple of pages of said script, revealing the extent of Bay’s “talents”. Quality moments include a description of Rachel Dawes as: “She is the hottest woman in the world, but she wears glasses because she is also the smartest woman in the world”, the attention given to Bruce Wayne’s pecs, and the slow-mo sequences of the Batmobile narrowly avoiding civilians happening “seventeen times”.
Okay, obviously this is a joke, but in every joke there is some truth, and I imagine if Michael Bay ever attempted a Batman script, we’d end up with something pretty similar. Kudos to My Spill for coming up with one of the funniest parodies in months!
