Turn 83 Results (January Febuary 1981)
-[X]Do Both: You are going to be insane and try to plan and do both.
The Hundred Man Melee:
D100 => 98+60=158
You honestly didn't really know what to do except tell your camera crew to gather their camera and prepare for the most pulse-pounding action scene they will ever see in their lives.
But that was the order for the crew. You begged Alan to give you three extra shooting days to plan and execute your little mad stunt. And Alan, being smart, accepted, and you looked towards many different people of shapes sizes, and other stuff, and put them through an incredible stunt plan. Every single member of the stunt team, all professionals thank god, was coming to you with great tenacity.
It was up a two-story building, the set for the night club, and it would follow you kicking the snot out of it… and you getting more and more tired as you continue through it.
And you were sure that it was going to be the most exhausting feat of stunt work you would ever do.
And everyone knew it, because they wanted to show two things. One, you did all your stunts, and did them well.
Two, Batman was just a man, driven by incredible willpower, to seek justice for Gotham.
--------------
On the third day, you had it shot, and you only had one really good shot at it. Because if you didn't you would have to wait till tomorrow.
And you nailed it.
It was… the most challenging thing you ever did, but the rewards were worth it.
And you really were sore.

The Batmobile on the Highway:
D100 => 91+60=151
Well, at least you weren't in the car. Beverly Hills PD, LAPD… California Highway Patrol.
Oh lord the Paperwork that you had to do was incredible and insane, but hey, there was going alright, but this was going to be awesome.
And you weren't in the car this time, you were behind a camera and a truck and you were just going to watch the incredible teamwork.
And oh boy was it great, the layer of destruction that you caused, those air cannons were coming in looking like a funny investment, and it was just… well it caused some unintentional comedy moments with one of the cars just stopping without any warning.
Well, you were going to be hard-pressed to find anything like that in any film.

"Oh come on." You smiled. "Humor me."
Carrie laughed. "You want to work on another movie."
"You're my starlet." You said with a wink and she blushed.
"Oh don't be like that." She said. "What makes you think I want to do something like that?"
You frowned. "You have been writing screenplays again."
Carrie sighed. "Guilty as charged… Maybe I do want to be more than Princess Leia Organa."
"But what about the Lakers?" you asked.
"Jerry and crew like my hands-off approach. And say what you want about the league, they like the fact I don't really do anything to rock the boat. They really like that we're pushing mandatory drug tests to stop the rampant cocaine usage"
You both paused. "You don't have to-"

"True, and honestly, I was expecting that, but this is not about that." He said with a frown. "I want to make an offer."
"And? What's the catch?" You asked.
"I need to know when you're releasing the next Batman film?"
That was a warning bell if there ever was one. "Why?"
"Simple mathematics, I'm in the mood to lose money." He said.
"Ask Alan." You said. "I'm sure he'll give it-"
"I don't trust Alan."
"And I don't trust you, Mister Murdoch." You said. "No offense, you're like Sid, everything wrong in this town."
He laughed. "Sid built an empire and threw it all away by being an idiot by pissing you and George Lucas off. I'm not that fool."
"But you want to keep making money through those kinds of means." You said.
"Obviously."
"No." you firmly stated.
Murdoch's face twitched. "Really, you don't even know what I may give you in return."
"And my answer is still no, good day sir." You left. "Maybe you think that everyone can be bought, but you'll be surprised that it's not the case."
