This screenplay is set in the DC Universe, blending elements from Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman (Gotham/Metropolis), and Joker lore. It is an alternate take on characters like Joker, Harley Quinn, and others, with a mysterious drug called "Vitamin J Plus" at the center.

  • Opening Political Rally (Metropolis Public Square) A divided crowd hears speeches about Gotham's push for independence from Metropolis, emphasizing second chances for criminals and open policies. Speakers praise Metropolis' advancements (e.g., Luthor Corp's lunar mining) but are interrupted when attendees suddenly fall ill from an "unknown toxin."
  • Introduction of Main Characters
    • Clark Kent: A Daily Planet reporter watching news coverage, including reports on serial killer Victor Zsasz.
    • Diana Prince: An art restorer investigating suspicious activity. She fights off attackers in Metropolis streets, pursues a suspect, and accidentally bumps into Clark (who "fakes" a fall to intervene). Clark gets her business card and later asks her out for coffee, where they bond lightly over their backgrounds.
  • The Drug: Vitamin J Plus
    • A hacked TV broadcast airs a bizarre infomercial featuring Harley Quinzel promoting "Vitamin J Plus" – green capsules mixed into a concoction. It's advertised as a miracle cure for ailments, with Joker Brand branding.
    • Perry White at the Daily Planet reveals the hack and Harley's troubled history (former psychiatrist with suspended license and a criminal record). This marks the drug's spread from Gotham to Metropolis.
  • Gotham Underworld
    • Diana investigates in Gotham, using her lasso on a gangster who admits the capsules cause vivid dreams that manifest in reality but lead to bad outcomes.
    • Gangster Bill Dunn (possibly an early Jack Napier/Joker prototype) is involved in distribution. 
  • Climactic Incident on Gotham Bridge
    • Diana and Clark (now walking together) are hit by Bill's swerving car. Clark is struck and seemingly vanishes (implying he survives as Superman and is thrown into the river). Diana dodges, watches the car plunge into the water, and grieves, believing Clark is dead. The scene ends with her alone, staring at the broken railing.
  • Themes and Tone
    • Mix of political satire (Metropolis vs. Gotham divide), superhero investigation, and dark crime drama.
    • The "Vitamin J Plus" drug grants wishes/dreams but with dangerous side effects, hinting at Joker-origin ties (green color, reality-warping, chaos).
    • Harley appears as a fallen professional promoting it erratically.
    • Builds tension around the toxin's spread, gang activity, and budding Clark/Diana alliance.

The excerpt ends mid-story on a cliffhanger with Clark's apparent death/disappearance. The full 92-page script continues into further investigations, revelations about the Joker's involvement, and superhero action across seasons 1-3.
