Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
Their War Here
Letters in the white screen…METROPOLIS - MANKIND IS INTRODUCED TO SUPERMANCut to: METROPOLIS HARBOR
A helicopter is landing as above him fighter jets shoot missiles. Out of the helicopter comes adult BRUCE WAYNE, who runs as soon as he hits the ground.
We see what Bruce is looking at and where the jets intend to shoot – the Kryptonian ship floating above the center of Metropolis, firing a beam to destroy the area below it. A falling jet crashes on an overpass just as Bruce starts the car, driving towards the carnage.

Bruce drives in the mostly empty streets as fire, debris and dust clouds occasionally force him to turn corners. He then grabs his cell phone and makes a call.

Cut to: OFFICE
In the Wayne Financial office room, an elderly executive answers the phone.

BRUCE WAYNE (O.S.)
Jack.

JACK
Bruce.

Bruce in the car.

BRUCE WAYNE
Jack, listen to me. I want you to get everyone out of the building. Right now.

Jack staring at the Kryptonian ship from his window.
BRUCE WAYNE (O.S.)
You understand?


Once the gravity beam hits the ground, destroying nearby skyscrapers, the Wayne Financial employees scream. Two women even say "Oh my God" and "Away from the windows!" Jack downs the phone and starts screaming at the employees.
JACK
Let's go. Come on, start moving now, people.Let's go. The boss wants us out of the building.So, let's make it happen.

People are leaving as we cut to Bruce driving again.

BRUCE WAYNE
Jack. Jack!

Letting off the phone, Bruce continues taking turns as he faces cars crashing, planes falling, and firemen barricades. At a certain point, we see above the car the falling Fortress of Solitude, which is crashing into the city, bringing down several skyscrapers in the process.

Once Bruce sees a crowd standing in the middle of the street and the Kryptonian ship not firing beams anymore, he stops. Bruce steps out of the vehicle, seeing a plane - with lightning coming out of it - crash into the spacecraft, before igniting something that sends in a loud blast at the crowd around Bruce. As the ship is sucked in by some sort of singularity, Bruce runs down the chaotic streets.
Back at Wayne Financial, Jack stands at the empty office, staring at the destroyed downtown from the window. A building is blasted and the projectile is flying towards the Wayne building - Superman. He hits the floors below Jack's offices; the building shakes and lights flicker.
At that time, Bruce is on a street where he can see his building, and tries calling Jack again. Just as the automated error message (“We're sorry. All services are busy now. Will you please try your call again later.“) plays, Wayne sees a heat vision beam shredding through the Wayne Financial Building.

Back in the office, whose floor is being ripped apart by beams, Jack, still by the window, says a prayer.


JACK
Heaven god.Creator of heaven and earth. Have mercy on my soul.

Bruce watches in horror as the building collapses.

BRUCE WAYNE
JACK!!!

Bruce fearlessly runs right into the falling debris, desperate to try and save someone - in contrast to all the others are running away. The dust engulfs him.
At the dusty yet silent ruins, Bruce passes by a police horse and some people before hearing someone call his name.

WALLACE
Mr. Wayne! Mr. Wayne!

Wallace Keefe is on the ground, his legs trapped underneath rubble. Bruce approaches him.

WALLACE
I can't feel my legs. I can't feel my legs.

BRUCE WAYNE
We need help over here!

WALLACE
Help me. [grabs Bruce's arm] I can't feel my legs.

BRUCE WAYNE
You're going to be okay, you hear me? [sees the name tag] Wallace. What do they call you, Wally? Huh?

WALLACE
You're the boss, Boss.

Bruce gives an asserting smile before taking Wallace's hand off him as some people have arrived to help. Two grab Wallace by his arms and lift him...

BYSTANDERS
Alright. You're going to be okay. Easy, easy. Come on.
...and then Bruce lifts the debris. Wallace is pulled back, his lower legs visibly damaged.

WALLACE
Oh my god. I can't feel my legs. I can't... I can't feel my legs.

Bruce sees a girl about to be crushed by falling debris, and saves her.

BRUCE WAYNE
It's okay. You're going to be okay. You're okay, alright. Huh. Okay, you know what? We're going to find your mom. Where is she?

The crying girl points at a destroyed skyscraper. Bruce gives her a hug to comfort her as he looks up to the sky and witness as meteorites fall on another building - along with the battling Superman and General Zod out of the sky. Eventually another skyscraper prevents Bruce from seeing the rest of the battle, but he still angrily stares at what the Kryptonians have done.

Cut to black, then text reading 18 MONTHS LATER.

SOMEWHERE IN THE INDIAN OCEAN
In front of a destroyed Kryptonian artifact, a team of Indian divers explore an underwater area and take a strange rock from the seafloor.
They bring it back to land, showing the rock to an elderly white man. Breaking it with an axe, he finds inside a large nugget of a green mineral – Kryptonite.
