- [grunting]

We're almost to the time fissure.

Try to keep up, old man.


- [grunts]


- Is he always like this?
- Kamandi is known for hisExuberance.


- Reminds me of someone back home.

[whirring]


- Death to trespassers!
- [snarling and growling]

[beeping]


- [screaming]


- [gasps]


- Go.

I'll hold them off.


- [snarls]

[growling]


- Uhh.


- Arghh!
- [snarling]

Uhh! [growling]


- Yaah!
- [snapping]


- [growling]

Rrahhh! [coughing]


- Ooh!
- There it is! The time portal that brought you here.

You must hurry before it closes.


- Get 'em!
- I'm not leaving you.

Not with all those ratmen on your tail.


- Go! Save your people! We can take care of ourselves.


- You must get the vaccine back to your own time.

Our immunity is your salvation.


- Thanks, drdr.

Canis.

I couldn't have isolated the antibodies without your help.

Kamandi, check the statue's left nostril.

Clever human.


- There they are!
- I wouldn't stand there, doctor.

[clock chiming]

Batman, narrating: You're probably wondering Who finally got me.

The thing is I'm not dead.

Not yet, at least.

But I sure was feeling a lot better A few hours ago.


- Boo.


- Huh?!
- I'm the man who haunts you, Gentleman ghost.


- I don't frighten easily, batman.

I need but two more artifacts And I can raise my army of the dead From its eternal slumber.

Then I will finally have my revenge On this cursed city.

Aah!
- Revenge is a poison that rots a man from within.


- No, my friend.

Revenge is a fire that keeps me warm In the eternal cold of the grave.

I see you've added a few more nth metal trinkets To your arsenal.

I'm not done with you yet!
- Ooh!
- Uhh! Uhh! Uhh! Ohh
- Rest in peace, batman.

[lock clicks]

[evil laugh]


- Uhhh! Batman, narrating: An air capsule helped, But I had only one option left.

Which brings us back to my present situation
-
- Hovering in the netherworld between life and death And time running out.


- I see you finally shuffled off this mortal coil, batman.

Who did the deed? Was it black manta?
- Are you the grim reaper?
- Grim, maybe, but I ain't no reaper.

I'm just a spirit, Cursed to wander the earth.

Another dead man like you.


- OnlyI'm not dead.


- Heh.

Could have fooled me.


- I was buried alive And used an ancient tibetan meditation techniqiq To astral project out of my body.

But when the air runs out in 2 hours, Well, then I really will be dead.


- Maybe I can help, mac.

I can possess people Take total control of their bodies, Make them do whatever.

So how about I use this guy to dig up your body?
- No.

My coffin has been booby
-trapp.

.

It's too dangerous to use a civilian.

There has to be another way.


- It's your funeral.


- UhHuh?
- Spirs s of the dead, hear me.

Thomas beeker, I summon you from the afterlife.

Your nephew colin wishes to speak with you.

[rattling]

[whirring]

The spirit is among us! [gasps]


- Save your pennies, sir.

This woman is a cheap charlatan.

The proof is here.

The one artifact with true porr Has been reduced to mere window dressing.

Soon the city will tremble under its new master.


- Hope we can get your body back, Because as unfair as life is, Death is worse.

Uh, what's wrong, mac?
- I see a light.


- A light? That's the way to the other side.

That's where you want to go.


- BruceSon
- It can't be.


- It's us, bruce.

Don't be afraid.


- Father? Mother?
- We've missed you so.

Come to us.


- Yes.

I'm coming.


- Hey.

Make sure this is what you want, 'cause once you cross over, There ain't no comin' back.


- Take my hand, son.


- Wait.

I
-
- I can't.


- It's ok, bruce.

You've earned a rest.


- No.

It's not my time.


- Not my business, But you're a fool for not going.

I've been waiting for that light since I got here.


- There's work to finish.

Let's just hope we can find a hero nearby to help us.


- Golly! He's sure giving us a run for our money.


- He's not getting away this time.


- Uhh! Uh! Unh Huh? Uhh! Uh
- I never get tired of that.


- Of course.

The only hero in london is green arrow.

Arrow, speedy, I need your help.


- Uh, they can't hear us Or see us.

No one can.

Except other dead people.


- Then how do we communicate?
- I can help you take a test drive.


- Arrow, this is batman.

Listen to me carefully.

I've taken control of speedy's body So that I can speak to you.


- OK.


- This is stupid.


- You got a better idea?
- Ohh.

What's going on?
- You were doing a batman impression.


- Gosh! Huh.

I was?
- And not a very good one.

Observe the master.

I am vengeance.

I am the night.

I am batman.

And these are my hammers for justice.


- Ha ha ha! Golly, you sure sound
-
-
- Huh? Uhh!
- Listen to me, you smug jerk.

I'm batman.


- Uhh
-
-oof!
- My body isIndisposed.


- It is you, isn't it, batman? Wait
-
-does this mean you'reDead? Who got you? Don't tell me it was kite man.


- It was gentleman ghost.

And I'm not dead.

But if you don't dig up my body At brigands hill cemetery in the next hour, I will be.


- We're on it.


- Gee whiz, I feel Weird.


- Come on, speedy, let's move!
- You never told me gentleman ghost was involved.


- You know him?
- The guy's bad news, mac, And I don't need someone like him Making my miserable isistence even more miserable.


- Maybe if you weren't so busy feeling sorry for yourself, You'd see there's a reason you're here, A reason you have your powers.


- I'm soy,y, mac.

I know I can be a bit of a downer.

It's just I haven't had anything go my way in a while.


- So why haven't you crossed over?
- 'cause I ain't been invited.

I used to be an acrobat [music, applause and cheering]

A trapeze artist in a circus.

Until one night during a show [boom]

[crowd gasps]


- I don't know who did it or why, But he had a hook for a hand.

It didn't even make the papers.


- You're boston brand.

You performed under the name "dead m"" In hailey's circus.


- You
-
-you remember?
- I've been working your case, And I will find your k*ller.

You need to make a choice
-
- Drown in self
-pity or help me find gentleman ghost.

[clock chiming]


- Golly, green arrow, this place sure is spooky.


- Just start digging.

Batman doesn't have much oxygen left.


- Ah, my old necktie.

Some things never go out of fashion.


- Craddock!
- Batman, you hound me even in death.


- I'm putting a stop to your afterlife of crime.


- You don't stand a ghost of a chance.

Uhh! Uhh! Uhh! Uhh! Uhh!
- You've haunted this world long enough, craddock.


- H!H!
- Ohh
- I assure you, batman, There are fates far worse than death.


- So we gonna stand here and twiddle Or are we gonna get down to business?
- Nice entrance.


- I was in the circus.


- [grunting]

ooh! It's been a pleasure, gentlemen, But I have pressing business elsewhere.

Hyah! [whistles]


- [neighs]

[neighs]


- You gonna stand there and twiddle? [hsese neighs]

[neighs]

[neighs]


- Time's almost up.


- He's headed back to the cemetery.


- What the
-
-
- How ironic that the convicts boneyard Lay here in the catacombs beneath your grave, batman.

This quill signed a thousand death warrants.

This key locked the tower dungeon.

And many a condemned man wore this necktie To his final reward.

These cursed relics give me the power To summon forth Spirits doomed by their foul deeds.

Rise, my criminal brethren, Rise and do my bidding!
- [grunting]

I need the nth metal tools on my utility belt.

It's the only material effective against the spirit world.


- I'll be back.


- Reclaim your earthly remains, my brothers.

Tonight, we burn london to the ground! [clock chiming, ticking]


- He's only got a few minutes of air left.


- Careful, speedy, it's booby
-trapped.

Quick! Let's get it open!
- Jeepers.

Is batman
- He's alive.

That's some meditation technique.

Looks like you owe me one, batman.


- I ain't batman.

I'm just borrowing him for a minute.

Now, are we gonna stand here and twiddle Or are we gonna get down to business.

Say, you pack any expl*sives?
- Second capsule on thleleft.


- Heads up! [horse neighs]

[neighs]


- Time to go back to the spook house, gentleman ghost.


- Stand aside, fools, Or I shall cast your broken bodies into the thames.


- Oh, yeah? You and what army?
- Never ask that question, speedy.


- You ain't kiddin' about this nth metal stuff.


- Thanks for the assist, dead man.


- No sweat, bats.


- Ahem.

Aren't you forgetting something?
- Aw, come on.

Can't I try it out for a little while longer? I just got back in the game.


- Then how about we find you another body?
- [grunting]


- Mind if we borrow speedy?
- Borrow? If you say so, batman.


- Hey, take it easy.

I need him.


- Don't sweat it, mac.

He'll be ok.

A little sore, maybe.


- [neighs]


- Uhh!
- Ooh!
- Nth metal arrowheads.

I never travel the earth without them.


- Have some nth metal justice.

Hyah!
- Aah!
- [grunting]


- Thanks for the loaner, kid.


- Holy involuntary acrobatics!
- [grunting]


- I will have my revenge, batman! The city will burn!
- I've got a nice nth metal cell for you to haunt.


- Uhh! The artifacts! [gasps]

Stay away.

No! Unhand me! No! Help me! Help! I beg you!
- [whimpering and screaming]


- Your army isn't as lalal as you thought, craddock.


- Curse you, batman! Curse you
- [rattling]

- Thanks for your help, dead man.

I won't rest until you receive the justice you deserve.

- Who was he talking to?
- The light.

Ahh [chain clanking]

- So I was thinking, mac, Maybe you were right about there being a reason I have these powers.

Maybe I am supposed to find my k*ller.

And have a little fun along the way.

- Good to have you back among the living, dead man.

- Now, we gonna stand here and twiddle Or are we gonna get down to business? Uhh! [all gasp]
