The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse descend on the Dark Knight. His deadliest enemy returns through a supernatural gateway to unleash a Demon-storm on Gotham City, on the eve of a celestial event prophesied for centuries.

Ancient fears trigger religious battles, world food supplies dwindle and Wall St. is in danger of collapse.  The Batman is our only hope of salvation. But the sins of his Father have returned to haunt the son, leaving him older, greyer.  A broken warrior.

Now more isolated than ever, he stands as witness to mankind’s destruction rather than its saviour one last time. His evil adversary vows to lay waste to the earth by fire unless the Batman faces him in final battle. But while Armageddon rages,  Bruce Wayne has found the love of his life. And the world has lost its Hero.

“MIRACLE MILE”

One hour Pilot for dramatic-comedy.

Imagine being born into High Society. British, of course. Next best thing to a real-life Princess. Country Manor? Town-house, yacht, cars, horses, yes? Yes. Raised since birth to walk with Kings; “Even been proposed to, by a couple of them,-“ Sounds perfect, right? Well, appearances can be deceiving.

Delilah-Jane Fauntleroy, beautiful, bright, sexy, feminine. Self-deprecating too. On the outside anyway. “It helps people look beyond the image-thing and start helping those less fortunate than myself.” Except, that’s pretty much everyone else in the whole rest of the world! The ultimate co-dependant; Inside, this Princess is coming apart.

But where do you stop when there are so many causes, so many children in need. She yearns for a baby of her own but; “I gave so much love at the office, there was none left for the bedroom”. Besides, her ex-husband only ever loved himself and the Beverly Hills divorcee scene for a ‘catch’ like Delilah, is a hysterical, recurring (guest-star) nightmare.

When a mysterious package lands on her handsome, besotted Attorney’s desk, Jamie Spencer discovers; “The IRS has frozen your assets. Homes, cash, plastic, everything. It seems Lord and Lady Fauntleroy have either been kidnapped or become fugitives”.

Cut off from the family fortune, Delilah’s as penniless as the charities she champions. “The Irony’s not lost on me”. Her odyssey will test her humour, faith and belief in human kindness. But all her good deeds won’t go un-rewarded, surely? Right, this is positive t.v.,- So, just as things look darkest, most poignant, Pearl, a homeless black lady appears. Now Pearl is so wise you might take her for a guardian Angel –if her mouth wasn’t quite so wise-ass.

And yes, that package contains a Key. Rusty, maybe but it’s the key to Delilah’s survival. For it opens a very special door. Along the Miracle Mile.
