03x02 - Shadow of the Bat!

[bunniefuu]

MISFIT:
Thank you for leading me here, whelp.

The riches of this era
far exceed those of our primitive future.

But now it is time you became history.

Serviteks, att*ck.

Sorry, Batman. We risked the Misfit
following us through the wormhole...

...because our only hope of defeating him
was found in your time.

No apologies necessary, Kamandi.

The Portal of Justice is always open
to you and Dr. Canus.

Now, what do we need to stop him?

The fabled five-five modules, which power
this mind-wave jamming device.

Never heard of them.

Guess we'll have to rely
on old-fashioned fisticuffs and true grit.

[BATMAN GRUNTING]

Hi-ho, Kliklak, away.

Whoa.

[DOGS BARKING]

If I can recruit some backup,
perhaps we can turn the tide.

Brethren...

...I call upon you to aid in this battle.

Free yourselves of your shackles
and take up arms.

[DOG WHIMPERS]

You're no match
for the mind of the Misfit.

[GRUNTING]

[BATMAN GROANS]

[GROANS]

Eureka! The five-five modules.

You mean a pack of double-A batteries.

Behold the awesome energy.

CANUS:
I beg you, my feathered friends.

Join us against our common foe.
Rise up.

Never mind them, Dr. Canus.
Coming at you.

Now, Misfit, feel the fury
of Earth's mightiest w*apon.

[TECHNO MUSIC PLAYING ON STEREO]

[SCREAMS]

[GRUNTS]

Misfit, your mental maelstrom is over.

Good work, Kamandi.

Whenever you need help,
I'm only a wormhole away.

Thanks, Batman.

I'm sad to leave this paradise
where man and animal live side by side.

[CANUS SCOFFS]

These people
should be ashamed of themselves.

Treating animals like humans.

Better get going, doc.
Gotham has a leash law.

[LAUGHING]

[POLICEMEN YELLING]

[LAUGHS]

Another flawlessly ex*cuted heist.

Thanks to the superior intellect of me,
Dr. Sivana.

And another years behind bars,
you fiendish physicist.

Bat Boob. Have a face full of science,
you big lummox.

[LAUGHS]

[GRUNTS]

[YELPS]

A smart man would have learned
his lesson a long time ago, Sivana.

You're right, Batman.

If I were a smart man,
I would have realized...

...I could never defeat you alone.

Yes, a smart man
would have gotten help.

Oh, wait. I am a smart man. And I did.

[GROANING]

Bat Boob,
meet the Monster Society of Evil.

The vilest villains of Fawcett City united.

Together, we'll conquer the universe.

All right, boys. Tear him apart.

[BATMAN GRUNTING]

It's true what they say, Batman.
There is strength in numbers.

[SIREN WAILING AND TIRES SCREECH]

Huh?

Blast! Whiz TV News.

Which means that cheese tray,
the Marvel Family, will be here any second.

Hot dogs and lemonade?
Are we celebrating something?

Just another picture-perfect day
in Fawcett City.

Extra, extra. Read all about it.

Marvel Family meets for eats.

What you got there, Freddy?

It's a hard-hitting exposé
I've been working on...

...about a Ionely orphan
given superpowers...

...and reunited with his long-Iost sister...

...who's also given superpowers.

And together,
they team up to save a newsboy...

...by giving him superpowers.

[MARY & BILLY CHUCKLE]

Gosh, sounds too good to be true.
I can't wait to read it.

[MEN GRUNTING ON TV]

Uh-oh, breaking news.

[GRUNTING]

Holy moly.
Our greatest foes have joined forces.

Looks like it's time for the magic words.

And I don't mean
"please" or "thank you."

MARY & BILLY: Shazam!
- Captain Marvel!

[GROANS]

[BATMAN YELLS]

Your fiendish fellowship
will never last, Sivana.

And pray tell, why is that, Bat Boob?

MARVEL:
Because everyone knows villains like you...

...don't play well with others.

Let the Marvel Family
show you how it's done.

Well, if it isn't the Big Red Cheese
and his two gorgonzolas.

Turn them into Swiss.

[BATMAN GRUNTING]

[GRUNTING]

[GROANS]

Ready to surrender, Sivana?

You overgrown do-gooders
have the minds of children...

...which is exactly what you'll be...

...when you feel the burn
of my age-reversing youth ray.

Prepare to be unborn again. Ha-ha.

[GROANING]

[SIVANA GASPS]

- It's over, Sivana.
- No, this is only the beginning, Marvels.

Ha!

[ALL GRUNTING]

Are you okay, Batman?

[BATMAN GROANS]

I don't know. L...

[IN YOUTHFUL VOICE]
I feel weird.

Holy moly.

Idiots. I design a giant death ray
that will bring Fawcett City to its knees...

...and all I ask in return
is for you to steal a few measly parts.

But apparently, that's too much to expect
from this confederacy of dunce caps.

What good is a Monster Society of Evil
if I have to do everything?

- We were just following your orders.
MAN'S VOICE [OVER SPEAKER]: Enough.

I believe the problem
is not with the society itself...

...but with its leadership.

I possess the most brilliant mind
on Earth.

You have the audacity
to think you could do better?

MIND:
I know I could do better.

In fact, I could increase the power
of your poorly designed death ray...

...by -fold with ease.

[MONSTERS MURMURING]

Pfft. Even if you could,
you'd never be able to defeat the Marvels.

MIND:
But that's why they must defeat themselves.

Of course, with a little persuasion
from my powers of thought control.

Maybe it's time
to look into new leadership.

- All in favor?
MONSTERS: Aye.

- All opposed?
- Nay.

MIND:
Then it's settled.

A wise decision, for Fawcett City
has never faced a more powerful foe...

...than Mr. Mind.

I've battled criminal scum,
homicidal maniacs and alien despots.

But no one's ever done anything
as horrible as this to me before.

Don't worry, Batman. We'll figure out a way
to stop the de-aging process.

De-aging process? I'm talking about this.

Regardless,
we must stop the Monster Society of Evil...

...before I get any younger.

After our last encounter, they escaped
with a lens made to detect dark matter...

...by mimicking the gravitational force
of a black hole.

Gosh, you sure know your science,
Batman.

[IN CRACKING VOICE]
Aw, shucks, Mary.

Ahem. They've since stolen the following
components from these locations.

Doesn't take the wisdom of Solomon
to see they're building some w*apon.

- And they have everything they need.
- Except a power source.

Yes, there's only one possible power
source for a design of this scale:

The Fawcett City Super Collider.

To the Batmobile.
Last one there is a rotten egg.

SIVANA:
A fusion chamber?

I fail to see how these new parts
we're stealing...

...are going to help our death ray,
Mr. Mind.

MIND: I wouldn't expect a simpleton
like you to perceive the genius of my plan.

So I suggest
you leave the thinking to me.

Huh?

And how does that big brain of yours
think we should deal with them, hm?

MIND: Just keep them busy.
I'll take care of the rest.

MARVEL:
We're done playing games, Sivana.

Tell us how to reverse the effects
of that youth ray, or else.

Speaking of, where is Bat Boob?

It must be past his bedtime.

[IN CHILDISH VOICE]
Recess is over, you mean old meanie.

You've just earned yourself
five to minutes of hard time...

...in the corner of the room.

Why, Bat Boob,
you're half the man you used to be.

He may be small, but ours is a heroic bond
that can't be broken.

Yeah. BFFs forever.

Except for her. She has cooties.

Hmph.

[GRUNTING]

[GRUNTING]

Mary, take the overgrown alligator.

[GROANS]

Who d*ed and left you in charge?
You're not the boss of me.

Jeepers, Mary. I am the oldest.

Only in superhero form,
not when we're kids.

Then I'm the oldest.
By three whole seconds.

What is wrong with you guys?

[YELLS]

[MARY GROWLS]

MIND:
What fun.

Their minds are like putty in my feelers.

Huh?

Gosh, I don't know
what's gotten into her.

[GROANS]

Come to think of it, she's right.

- You boss me around too.
- Huh?

[GROANS]

Just because when I change into a hero,
I'm still a kid.

But guess what.
I'm just as strong as you.

[BOTH GRUNTING]

[IN BABYISH VOICE]
Huh?

You better stop acting like babies
or I'm gonna tell.

[DEVICE BEEPING]

Huh?

[OOM YELLS]

[BEEPING]

[BOTH YELL]

- Huh?
MIND: And now, the big cheese.

Huh?

[GROANS]

So much for my family.
You're all just a bunch of leeches.

You wouldn't even have powers
if it wasn't for me.

[MARVEL GRUNTS]

I was better off alone.

That does it,
you big, bad, bossy brother.

[GRUNTING]

Guys, stop fighting. I mean it.

Huh?

[BUILDING RUMBLING]

[GROANING]

Huh?

MIND: It appears I've done something
your puny brain couldn't conceive of:

Defeat the Marvels.

[GROWLS]

Stop! You're destroying the city.

I gotta turn them back into kids.
Ah! Of course.

[LISPING]
Hey, Captain Marvel Jr.

It's "Marvel." "Captain Marvel." Huh?

[THUNDER CRASHING]

There. Now tell me what's the matter
with you guys.

Holy moly.
I didn't know you all felt that way about me.

You said
some very hurtful things too, Billy.

But I thought we were family.

I'm not even related.

Just some guy you let hang around
because you feel sorry for him.

Then maybe it's best
if we just go our separate ways.

Hey, guys, where you going?

We gotta stop Dr. Sivana
and the Monster Society.

Guys!

[BATMAN WAILS]

BATMAN [IN NORMAL VOICE]: The familial
bond has been temporarily severed...

... but with careful
psychological coercion...

... I just might be able to catalyze
the reconciliation process.

MIND:
The death ray is almost complete.

And now for the finishing touches.

[BEEPING]

You must admit, Sivana...

...Mr. Mind's interpretation
of the death ray...

...is far more impressive
than your original design.

Of course a dim bulb like you
would be lured in...

...by fancy bells and whistles,
but will it work?

There's only one way to find out.

[GRUNTS]

[GROANS]

MIND:
What is the meaning of this?

Just a test.
Of course, if your death ray works...

...you won't be alive to relish the victory.

What's happening?

MIND:
I may have misspoken earlier, Sivana...

...when I said it was the ray's power
that would increase -fold.

Actually, it was mine.

[ROARS]

In your ignorance, you failed to see
this is no death ray but a growth ray.

And, of course,
I counted on you to double-cross me...

...so I thought I'd double-cross you first.

[ROARS]

I was right all along.

He is a terrible leader.

[ALL SCREAMING]

MIND:
The worm, as they say, has turned.

[LAUGHING MANIACALLY]

BATMAN [IN BABYISH VOICE]:
You better stop or I'm gonna get you...

...you slimy old thing.

MIND:
Ah, the once-mighty Batman.

I suggest you scurry home
before you catch a spanking.

[GRUNTING]

So you was behind it all along.

You squoze into the Marvels' brains
and made them fight.

Bad caterpillar. Bad.

MIND: Yes. Well, as much as I hate
to pull myself away...

...from this scintillating battle of wits...

...I do have a universe to conquer.

Unh. Not so fast, fish bait.

MIND:
Captain Marvel?

Don't waste your effort.
You're outmatched.

- But two of us may even the odds.
MARY: Make that three.

[GRUNTING]

[GROANS]

Thanks, Batman, for reuniting our family.

I lost a tooth. Wanna see?

Come on, Captain Marvel.

Time to squish that bad old worm
with the hammers of justice.

MIND: Brilliance is not all
my mind is capable of, Marvels.

[GRUNTING]

You keep that bug busy...

...while I switch his grow ray
to shrink him back down.

Aah!

[GRUNTS]

[BOTH GRUNTING]

MIND:
And now, the city's last hope shall fall.

Not yet, Mind.
You forgot one small thing.

[YELLS]

[WHIMPERING]

[SNIFFING]

MIND: Ew. I think your savior
needs his diaper changed. Ha, ha.

[BABBLING]

No!

[SCREAMING]

[MIND GROANING]

Foiled by a baby.

[BABBLING]

[BATMAN CRYING]

He saved the day.
Too bad he couldn't save himself.

[BATMAN BABBLING]

I think he's trying to tell us something.

[BATMAN BABBLING]

Of course. The growth ray.

Why didn't we think of that?

[IN NORMAL VOICE] Well done, Marvels.
You should be proud of yourselves.

And proud to be a family again.

Hear, hear.
Although I do miss the baby Batman.

You were so adorable.

[IN CRACKING VOICE]
Thanks, but I think...

[IN NORMAL VOICE]
...ahem, I prefer adulthood.
