Long time, Usaking.

Is the theme of this 'short', penis envy?  

If there's something more profound to be interpreted from this, your message was completely lost on me, drowned in a quagmire of repetition and the incessant use of the word 'cock' - sorry.

However, I did love this line: 'You made my batsign quiver'.

Watch your grammar, your overuse of hyperbole, inappropriate use of personification, typos galore, and I agree with previous posters that the second part of your script needs a massive spit and polish - no pun intended.

P.S. Forgot to add. The first half of your script appears to have not much to do with the second half of your script.

Hello LC!

The theme of this short is not anything sexual, although it may seem like that to some. I prefer to have many themes in the scripts I write. This one, in particular, deals with the loss of a child and the forgetfulness of nostalgia. The connections, to me, are quite obvious.

Batman symbolizes the maturity within Bob Kane. Robin represents Bob Kane's youth. Alfred represents Bob Kane's father, who wishes for him to grow old. These elements fight with one another and eventually destroy one another within Bob Kane, leaving him empty and afraid (Act 1). Bob Kane realizes he has forgotten about his youth and therefore dies due to this horrific conclusion (Act 2). Charles Kane must find out how and why Bob Kane lost his youth (Act 3).

In a way, I find it a very touching story. Yes, it is a comedy, but also a heartfelt story about the journey of life and how one can get lost in all the things that are happening around them. I found myself quite moved by the very end of the story. Perhaps it is because I can relate to such a thing. I truly believe that there is a Batman and Robin inside all of us. These forces, which we preserve, are what keep us going through life. Whether it be hiking up a mountain, or teaching kids how to write in school. The very gift of childhood lays before us, yet, we choose to let it sit underneath the dark trees of future times. This is something that is quite scary to me. Perhaps one day, this tree will fall and the shadows will lift those memories of youth to the sky. This is not a proper image, per say, but rather an interesting fantasy set upon the stage of what we do in our everyday lives. The sun, moon, and stars all gather together to watch us live these type of lives. Of course, it is up to us to choose whether we want these childhood fantasies to become the realities of tomorrow. For if we do not understand the differences between young and old, then we will never understand the similarities between good and bad. I, for one, am interested in such a concept. The ability to choose to live beneath this tree of troubles or to live on the ground that sets the stage for generations to come. It's quite interesting.

Anyway, thank you for your words of editing. I've already started to edit a bit of my script yesterday and will work on it more today. It is good to see you again, LC.

This had me laughing from the first line! I'm knew to this but I saw a few comments on here and had to read your script, I wasn't disappointed. You have a very seedy but brilliantly imaginative mind. I will definitely be reading more of your work!

Hello Usa

Yup, this is different. Alas not for me but I got to page seven when I started to drown under the rising tide of...

What a boy. Alfred does well for 98, hope I'm still firing like that at that age, just not in a cave with batman!

I did like the tossing salad section. In a different genre, in other words handled differently, this could be mainstream funny.

Heaven knows what the rest of you stuff is like, but to be fair, if you enjoy writing it, so what.

Tony - Thank you for your nice comments. It's great to know that I've been able to give some people a laugh with this script. Of course, that was my intention (it is a comedy). Feel free to check out my other works anytime you like. Your words are quite angelic.

Reef Dreamer - I think that is what writing, in general, is all about. It's about enjoying what you write. I know my stuff is not for everyone, but I write what I would want to watch in a theater. I'm sad you weren't too find of my script, but as you said, it isn't for everyone.

Oney - I can't tell if your reply was meant to be a positive or negative arrow towards the words I used in my script. I guess you were a bit flabbergasted by the whole thing. Nevertheless, at least you know what to expect if you plan to read my future scripts. Although, not all my scripts are "adult-themed." For now, though, this and other similar writings are what I have to offer.

This was the weirdest thing I have ever read. Congrats?

P.S. As I'm currently completing my Masters degree in clinical psychology, there is quite a lot I could read into with this one as well...

Well this started badly, kind of tailed off in the middle and the less said about the end the better.

Really that is how I would some this up if it was a genuine story.  The Batman part was at least some kind of attempt at a story, the bathroom part was just even more odd and the final talking head (or should that be cocks?) was just...well....I don't know what to say lol.

I think you should see someone about your fascination with cocks.

Can't really leave any advice as I wouldn't know where to start, maybe add more about gay Batman, Robin and Albert and less of the thick cocks lol.

Really the strangest thing I've read here in ages.

Oh and there was a lot of errors throughout.


Check out my scripts...if you want to, no pressure.

Josh

Page by page notes/reactions:

BRUCE WAYNE
Yes.... Come, sit on my lap.

Bruce turns around in the chair, towards Alfred.

- Funny line. I’m anticipating we are going to see Bruce Wayne as we’ve never seen him before!

ALFRED
Why, ever since you were a song
stalker? Why do you ask such a
question, my handsome man?

- What is a “song stalker”?

I get what you are going here with the sex talk and toilet humour but I’m having a real hard time picturing a 98 year old mine address another character as “girlfriend”, “wild thing” and “barbie doll”. No doubt it’s getting a chuckle from me and perhaps I’m just too unimaginative or too repressed and constrained but the tone here is well out there, man. I question whether it would work on screen or not.

“ROBIN (1, blonde with a big dick, walks in, nude. He jumps
to off the cliff of the entrance. His penis is thick and
juicy. It dangles as if it were a rapid dog.

- Had to laugh. No beating around the bush, get straight in there with the visual.

Whoa, by page two this has gone of the scale. You wrote this for animation, right?

ROBIN
(to Bruce)
Stop tossing my salad! You’re
killing me!

Robin takes a shit. Bruce continues to toss the salad. He
moans. Robin moans with him.

ROBIN
(to Bruce)
That’s right, baby! Toss my salad.
Toss it real good.

- Had to chuckle at this.

"my best friend in the whole world,
Charles Fucker Kane,
will be announcing
something special."

- Is this a reference to Charles Foster Kane from Citizen Kane?

Ok, his line about his son’s dying words confirms this…but should it not be his great, great grandfather or something‘s anniversary since 250 years have passed?
Wow, this was fairly nuts, all over the shop and to the extreme. I get that you went balls out (forgive the horrendous pun) here, no holds bar, but this just isn’t my cup of tea. I like a bit of gross out comedy now and again but generally it wears thin on me after a short time.


I mean I thought it couldn’t get any more absurd after the opening sequence but boy I couldn’t have anticipated proceedings from page 7 onwards, fu?k me!

I think you need to see a specialist about your preoccupation with thick cocks and man juice...especially thick cocks.

One thing I do know, I will never look at Batman or Citizen Kane the same way ever again.

Peace

Col.

Toby - I'm sure there are weirder scripts to be found on SS and even ones that have not came upon this site yet. Although, it depends what you mean by the word "weird." Different people see different things as weird. It's a matter of opinion. I'm glad that my script has, in someway, has helped you test your knowledge of clinical psychology. Sounds interesting.

aiffy - Thanks for the response. The last couple of days, I've been editing my script a lot. Hopefully, when it is fully edited, some of your problems with it will be resolved. I don't have a fascination with the genitalia of the male body. In fact, I would say I have a fascination with the entire body of both males and females. It's quite interesting. I would assume that most, if not all, of my scripts, have a segment that involves a certain body part. Of course, this isn't always a sexual part of the human body. This script just happened to feature the genitalia of a male.

colkurtz8 - Thanks for all the help. I can answer a few of your questions and reply to some editing comments.

-  A "song stalker" is a metaphorical term. As you may or may not know, females are the large group of people that prefer to sing over men. Of course, men like to sing as well, but not as much as their counterpart. Therefore, "song stalker" refers to someone who watches females sing as a way to pleasure themselves.

- I know it is quite hard to picture Alfred saying things that one would except a female to say, but I provided this for two reasons. One, was to provide humor, obviously. The other was to break barriers. The fact that so many people have the assumption that only females say this sort of stuff is insane. In our world, though, it is normal to thing of men as the hierarchy and females as the defenseless pink flower. My script takes place in an alternate reality where it is normal for men to become the pink flower of which they have desired to protect for so many years.

- Yes, I did reference Charles Foster Kane, from Citizen Kane, in my script. I thought no one noticed it, but perhaps you are the first.

- Again, this script takes places in an alternate reality. 250 years to us is not the same for the characters in this script. Time is viewed differently to the people who dwell in this story. I probably should've left that part out, but I thought it was needed to show that this story takes place in another time then our present day lives.

- Your words about my "liking" of the genitalia of men is quite humorous. I applaud you and your comedic talents. As I told aiffy, I am fascinated with the whole human body, not just the private parts of a male. Surely, I am not the only one who is interested in such things that appear throughout this world. It is only natural to be preoccupied with something that others may find "uncool" or "unique."

Thanks again for the lengthy reply!!!

Okay, I admit it. I laughed a few times.

Don't think anyone would/should be offended when reading this... I assume it's just for stupid fun.

This might be the most ridiculous thing I've ever read. Having said that. The last half? Come on man. I could copy and paste the word cock for 4 pages as well and get the same result. Go somewhere with it. Be constructive with your cocks.

Hey Josh,

Woof! Can’t believe I haven’t got around to this one until now. This has to be the most unusual script I’ve ever read. I was a bit uneasy after the opening page, really thought this was going to be some serious homosexual Batman story.

But then the real fun began and there were some real laugh out loud moments.

Unfortunately, the second half of the script isn’t nearly as much fun and I bailed after page 8 when I’d heard the word “thick cock” about million times. Honestly, that second half is just horrible to read and needs to re-worked.

Good luck with it.

I would like to thank all of you for your comments about my script. I do know that the second half should be changed. It has been negatively viewed by so many that I have, indeed, decided to change it. In fact, I have been away from this site for quite some time editing my script and seeing what works and what doesn't. The fact that some of you (the new replies) have had a few laughs from my story makes me feel quite happy and at ease (for the most part). Again, I am already editing the second half of my script to make it as well-informed as possible. Thanks again for giving your comments and feedback!
