Open: Int. FORTRESS OF DOOM. Day
Inside the Fortress of Doom sits the Killer Moth with his henchmen, the Moth Balls, most of them cardboard cutouts to fill in space. The Fortress of Doom is actually a low-rent apartment on the bad side of Gotham City. The Fortress of Doom has a few computers, stolen from some very bad schools that really do not have the funding for good computers. The Killer Moth sits in his throne of choice, a Lazee Boy, and listens to the radio.
The Killer Moth
They call this Classic Rock? What? This is like the fourth time today they played Fleetwood Mac! When has Fleetwood Mac become Classic Rock? More like Craptastic Rock to me. Come on! Moth Ball #98! What is our status on our nefarious plot of today?
Moth Ball #98, a slovenly henchmen, brings a piece of parchment up to the Killer Moth.
Moth Ball #98
Sir, the kosher restaurunt plan is on schedule.
The Killer Moth
Ah, yes. The plan to open up a kosher restaurant and... (dramatic music) SERVE NON-KOSHER MEAT PRODUCTS! MUHAHAHAHA!
Moth Ball #98
But the bad news...
The Killer Moth
Oh, great. Just when I was in a good mood you tell me this. Why can't I have one minute of euphoria without you destroying it like Lucas destroyed Star Wars? (Resting his head in his left hand) Go ahead...
Moth Ball #98
Well, it seems that we can't actually open up the restaurant.
The Killer Moth
Why is that?
Moth Ball #98
It blew up last night.
The Killer Moth
Did we get any insurance money?
Moth Ball #98
No.
The Killer Moth
Damnit. Now how am I going to pay for my college tuition? Well... Moth Ball...
Moth Ball #98
Sir, there was something left near the restaurant.
He hands him a batarang.
The Killer Moth
Batman? But he couldn't have known! I told no one but my Moth Balls...
Moth Ball #98
Sir, why are we called Moth Balls when Moth Balls... kill Moths?
The Killer Moth
BECAUSE I AM THE KILLER MOTH! I... kill... moths... no, wait, that isn't how it is supposed to go. I'm supposed to be killing the people of Gotham, right?
Moth Ball #98
I guess. We haven't really killed anyone yet... in fact, I think we just did a bunch of plans that failed.
The Killer Moth
Don't worry, I HAVE MORE PLANS! Uh... let's see... what is a good moth related crime?
Moth Ball #98
Circling around a light?
The Killer Moth
You are a dim henchman. You know that?
Moth Ball #98
I'm your only henchman. You really can't afford anymore.
The Killer Moth
Stop talking to me about financial problems. Besides... we got to kill Batman, my arch-nemesis.
Moth Ball #98
But you actually have never met him...
The Killer Moth shoots Moth Ball #98.
The Killer Moth
Well, great, now I killed you. Why did you have to bring me over the edge? You happy about that? Now I am going to have to take care of Batman myself!
In the shadows something moves.
Batman
You are going to do what?
The Killer Moth (Very nervous)
Oh shit.
