Storyline:BackgroundSleeper(1973) is one of Woody Allen's funniest films - a science-fiction satirical comedy classic and screwball comedy about the dystopic future 200 years ahead during a totalitarian, police-state regime in the year 2173 - with Dixieland and swing music (from the Preservation Hall Jazz Band and the New Orleans Funeral Ragtime Orchestra).Plans were to rebuild the burned-down Wayne Manor.Gordon was promoted to Lieutenant, and on a Gotham rooftop he unveiled a Batsignal for Batman, while describing how they still had work to do - rounding up Crane and the Arkham inmates, and facing an "escalation" of crime with a new criminal who had "a taste for the theatrical" and always left a calling card at his crime scenes - a Joker playing card."
