bruce's eyes darting birdlike around the plaza -- intercut with the following pov shots, all in slow motion:
television sets all over gotham, as startled citizens react to the joker's maniacal promo.
- the gotham globe cartwheeling into frame:
the joker's army. thugs in cars. creeps in italian restaurants. crooked cops at a coffee shop. lights flash, beepers sound, and within seconds they're racing to the streets, eager to join the chase.
anarchy in gotham as high-denomination bills flutter to earth, blanketing the streets. hopelessly outmanned cops try to maintain order as solid citizens trample one another in a paroxysm of animal greed. buildings empty as apartment dwellers race outside. all traffic stops as drivers climb out of their cars to snatch money from the air.
