The Dark Knight Snubbed

My proposed treatment for Batman 3: We Want Oscars, A Ron Howard Film

The Joker (Sean Penn) goes on Millionaire to win enough money to buy some of Batman’s wonderful toys, meanwhile Bruce Wayne (Ralph Fiennes)  remembers a teenage love affair with a much older guard at Arkham Asylum.  Across town, gay politician Harvey Dent (Robert Downey, Jr.) is almost assassinated but instead becomes the half gay/half not Two Face.  Vicki Vale (Kate Winslet)  is interviewing Ra’s al Ghul (Mickey Rourke) on TV, trying to get a “I’m sorry for trying to destroy your city.”  This plotline is dropped because it seems pretty trivial compared to everything else going on.  Alfred then reveals he’s only 15 years old.  The Joker wins the money and does a dance next to the Gotham monorail with Harley Quinn (Anne Hathaway).  Dent falls from a decent height but we don’t know what happens because the camera doesn’t follow him down.  Bruce finds out that the guard was actually the Scarecrow (Meryl Streep) and cries a little.   Years later, Alfred (looking like Michael Caine from Get Carter) becomes a priest and may or may not touch boys.
