Gotham 87 (Working Title) - Audio Drama - Recasts
Project Overview
This series will lead to a set of interview tapes from within Arkham Asylum, GCPD, The Batcave and other locations within Gotham. The pilot episode will be a short teaser leading into a more robust series.
This is an original production script which will give listeners a fresh take and perspective on the madness that is Arkham Asylum. The series will be housed on YouTube episode by episode.

Looking for a gruff and gravely tone to play a more serious version of Gordon.
He may have blinked, but beyond that, what you see is what we have been staring at. You know the drill Doctor?
I came as soon as I heard. What is he saying?
Gotham need heroes, not psychopaths with painted faces. I need to understand what we are doing about the Joker.
A slight British accent would be ideal for this role. Needs to be very articulate and have strong emphasis on enunciation.
I need you to tell me everything you know about what happened at the docks that night.
Is there something that comes to mind when you look at this card? Anything you fear?
I want to understand your situation, I really do...but I cannot do that if you do not open up.
Both Dr. Harleen and Harley need to have the "Brooklyn" style accent similar to the original animated series. That being said Dr. Harleen is much more articulate in her speech, almost soothing whereas Harley is more playful and malicious.
Dr Harleen:
Would you say that you have been experiencing episodes recently? If so, what kind of feelings did they leave you with?
I have reviewed your file. You have been here for quite a while haven't you? Something tells me that you want to be here.
Harley Quinn:
I never knew what real happiness was until that moment when I accepted that there was no such thing.
The best part about breaking kneecaps is watching those who wanted to stand over you writhing below. It's fitting. It's satisfying, ya know?
This role is wide open to interpretation for any gender or accent. This character will feature throughout a good portion of the series.
Nothing has changed since we started monitoring him. It's like he is waiting for something....or someone.
Listen, I am not here to tell you how to wear a fancy cape. Do not think you can come here and tell me how to analyze my patients.
After eight months of isolation it is like nothing has changed. It is as though that time never took place. It is truly fascinating.
Victor needs to have an almost soft spoken and whisper-like approach to how he speaks. There needs to be veiled anger behind what he says. As though he is forcing himself to speak softly to avoid coming across as insane.
You see, what I do....my work....it doesn't necessarily give me pleasure. I do what I have to. I don't "feel" what you think I feel. It is not that simple.
Each mark signifies an ending. Each scar is a beginning. The world doesn't rotate on the axis of peace and understanding. Those are as fake as you telling me you care about my feelings doctor.
Everyone has to go eventually. Their Shepherd will not always be looking to take them willingly. Hell, sometimes the Shepherd will feed them to the wolves. It is not the place for the sheep to determine their own end.
Looking for the traditional English posh accent for Alfred much akin to most variations you may have seen. The best example would be the 1989 film version.
Master Bruce, I don't see many options for you. There is trouble on the waterfront and that dark persona of yours would do well to address it.
I think one evening of rest is not too much for the people of Gotham to provide to their caped crusader. I'll fix some tea.
There was a message for you sir. Sounded quite urgent. A Miss Kyle. Something regarding diamonds and nimble fingers. I don't dare ask what that means.
A gravely and rough voice would be ideal for this role. Serious and direct in delivery.
He may have blinked, but beyond that, what you see is what we have been staring at. You know the drill Doctor?
I came as soon as I heard. What is he saying?
Gotham need heroes, not psychopaths with painted faces. I need to understand what we are doing about the Joker.
The example lines should sound very articulate for the role of Crane. For the Scarecrow feel free to experiment with it to deliver something as unique and terrifying as possible.
as Crane: I need you to tell me everything you know about what happened at the docks that night.
as Crane: Is there something that comes to mind when you look at this card? Anything you fear?
as Scarecrow: The nightmare is not of your making. Not of your control. Not within your grasp. I own your fear!
