BATMAN: Greetings, Bat-fans.

This is Batman.

And Robin, the Boy Wonder.

And me too: Bat-Mite.

Welcoming you to The New
Adventures of Batman.

Watch us wage our
never-ending battle

of good versus evil.

ROBIN: Ride with us as we chase
the greatest array of villains

the world has ever seen,

proving that crime
does not pay.

BATMAN: Get set for
thrills and action.

Join me, Batman.

And me: Robin, the Boy Wonder.

And Batgirl.

And me too: Bat-Mite.

ROBIN: In the super
New Adventures of--

BATMAN: Batman.

[♪♪♪]

[SIREN WAILING]

[♪♪♪]

MAN: Range, 1000 yards.

Heading north by northeast.

Start countdown.

Four,

three, two, one,

release!

[BEEPING]

[BEEPS]

Three down, Bo,

one to go.

[GIGGLES]

You did well, Sharktooth,

[OVER SPEAKER] now
return to your home.

[♪♪♪]

The world is
three-fifths water, Bo.

Whoever rules the water,

can rule the world.

[GIGGLES]

[GIBBERING]

[♪♪♪]

Now I've made an
improvement, Robin.

This will change
our radio frequency

and allow us to
cover the CB band.

MAN 1 [OVER RADIO]: Breaker, breaker,
this is Red Leader, anybody copy?

MAN 2: That's a big 10-4, old
buddy. Do you see an eye in the sky?

Holy Marconi,
that's really great!

Boy, if the man who invented
radio could hear it now.

[RINGING]

Someone's entering the
garage in the Batcave!

[BEEPING]

[CLUNKING]

It's Bat-Mite. Oh...

Maybe it's time we
taught him a lesson?

You mean, like keeping off
other people's property?

Exactly!

Jumpin' Jupiter,
what's this all--?

Hello, Batman. Robin.

Robin, I think we
caught an intruder.

Intruder? It's me, Bat-Mite.

Oh, come on, fellas,
let me out, please?

Don't you know there's a
law against trespassing?

[GULPS]

[PHONE BEEPING]

[OVER PHONE] Batman? This
is Commissioner Gordon.

Yes, commissioner.

Would you come
over to the office?

It's very important.

Robin and I are on our way.

Let's go, Robin. BAT-MITE:
Hey, you can't leave me here,

you didn't read me my rights.

We'll "right" you
when we get back.

I'm sorry I snuck in here
without your permission.

Now that's more like it.

Thanks, Batman.

Now, what do you think the
commissioner wants with us?

Us? Do you want to go
back into that cage?

Okay, okay. If
you feel that way.

Come on, Robin,
to the Batmobile.

We'll see you later.

Sooner than you think, Batman.

[ENGINE STARTS]

GORDON: The ships were
drones, like this one.

They were guided by radio.

They carried no people, but
their cargo was priceless.

Each ship carried one
part of this machine.

It's for the NATO forces.

Its code name:

Operation Sunspot.

BATMAN: What does
this machine do?

It harnesses the
energy from the sun.

In the right hands, it will be

a boon to mankind,

but in the wrong, disaster.

The ships disappeared
in this area,

the Bermuda Rectangle.

And where is the fourth ship?

It left England this
morning, Batman.

Nothing must happen
to that ship.

I understand, commissioner.

Robin and I will
leave immediately.

Good, I'll have Barbara
check her computer

for the names of all persons

ever convicted of spying

or selling information
to a foreign government.

And good luck.

This is a big job,

even for Batman.

You can be sure, Dad,

I'll give him all
the help I can.

[♪♪♪]

[ENGINE REVVING]

[CLICKING]

The drone ship will pass Bermuda
in six hours and 10 minutes.

Let's go.

Greetings.

Well, I'm ready.

Ready? For what?

Well, I kind of overheard,

Operation Sunspot.

We should have left
you in the cage.

All right, you're
coming with us.

We're taking him?

Commissioner said
this was top-secret,

we can't let him
run around loose.

Yahoo!

[PHONE BEEPING]

Yes, commissioner.

[OVER PHONE] This is Barbara.

I have some information,

I'll give it to you as soon
as I change into Batgirl.

I want to go along.

Sorry, Barbara,

we don't need
another passenger.

If my information is correct,
you'll need all the help

you can get. [CLUNKING]

On second thought, maybe
you should come along,

I will need all
the help I can get.

All right, let's go.

This is one mission
we must not fail!

[GIBBERING]

We must not fail, Bo,

and we won't.

Sharktooth is getting anxious.

[MAN GIGGLES]

Have patience, Sharktooth,

the ship will be here soon.

BATMAN: We're over the
Bermuda Rectangle now.

I'll call the commissioner.

[BEEPING]

There's a plane up there.

Switch on the monitor.

Batman calling commissioner,
this is Batman.

[OVER RADIO] Commissioner Gordon,
this is Batman, do you read me?

Eh, it's Batman.

[OVER RADIO] This is
Gordon, go ahead, Batman.

Commissioner, Barbara came up

with some interesting
information.

GORDON: I've been looking for
Barbara, do you know where she is?

I'm sure she'll be back soon.

She got an interesting readout
from her crime computer.

Professor Bubbles escaped
from prison last month.

[OVER RADIO] He was chief
scientist on Operation Sunspot

until he was sent to jail for
trying to steal the plans.

He might be at the
bottom of this.

[LAUGHS]

I am at the bottom,

right underneath you, Batman.

Search the area and call me
if you find out anything.

Commissioner out.

Batman out.

We must bring
Batman down to us.

How do we do that?

By sending up some bait.

[LAUGHS]

[♪♪♪]

Look.

They've seen it.

Down scope.

[OVER SPEAKER] All
right, Sharktooth,

bring it down,
bring it down.

ROBIN: It's going down.

We've got to see what it is

before it disappears.

Fold back the wings, Robin.

Here come the Batsub.

BAT-MITE: Whee!

This really beats
a roller coaster.

BATMAN: Robin, switch
on the Bat-light.

There they are.

All right, Bo,

it's time for the maelstrom.

[GIGGLES]

Range, 100 yards.

Start rotation.

Look.

BATMAN: It's a vortex.

All right, Bo,

full power.

We can't outrun it.

Every vortex has a
vacuum in its center,

so we'll head into it.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ah. I
think I'm gonna be sick.

BATMAN: Hang on, we should
be in the center any moment.

[BUBBLES GIGGLES]

Very clever, Batman,

but you must still
face the giant clams.

[LAUGHS]

[♪♪♪]

BUBBLES: That's what
I call clamming up.

[BUBBLE CHUCKLES]

Let's see you get out
of that one, Batman.

[LAUGHS]

We're inside the clam.

Batgirl, come with me.

What about me?

You stay here and
take care of Robin.

Gotcha, chief. I'll
look after things here.

BATMAN: What we need
right now is a good idea.

And good ideas aren't
to be sneezed at.

"Sneezed at."

That's what I
call a good idea.

His nose must be up there.

I'll use these suction
cups to climb up.

You get Bat-Mite.

Robin, break out the
emergency food pack.

Here it is. Just the thing.

Pepper.

If we can make
the clam sneeze,

we may be able to get out.

Now, you crawl up
next to his nose,

blow this in, then
get back and fast.

No problem, why
I remember once--

Bat-Mite, please.

All right, all
right, I'm going.

BATMAN: We'll
start the Batsub.

[CLAM GRUNTING]

[GASPS] [CLAM SNEEZES]

[CLAM GRUNTING] Hang on.

Inside, quick.

[CLAM SNEEZES]

I did it. I did it.

You did it?

Holy ego.

All right, Robin.

We'll talk about this later.

Right now we've got
to find a hiding place

for the Batsub.

Break out the Batsonar

and see if we can pick
up the professor's voice.

BUBBLES [OVER RADIO]: We will
soon have the final part, Bo.

With Operation Sunspot,

I will be ruler

of the world.

[CHUCKLES]

You see, Bo,

I can force anybody on
land to do what I want.

If they don't, I
will use the sun

to melt the polar ice cap.

[OVER RADIO] I can put the
whole world underwater.

[BUBBLES GIGGLES]

The fiend. We must stop him.

I'll get into my frog suit.

If we could get word
to the commissioner,

he could notify the Navy.

The professor will be
monitoring the radio.

He'll jam our signal
if he knows it's us--

But, wait, maybe
there is a way.

That CB Language of yours.

I don't think he'd make
head or tail of that.

[♪♪♪]

MAN [OVER RADIO]:
So here I am,

down in the rocking chair
with a hammer down.

Breaker, breaker,
with a big 10-34.

MAN: Go, breaker.

Have you got your ears on?

Well, shake the trees
and rake the leaves.

It's a 10-5 for Chief
Smokey Bear Worthington.

[OVER RADIO] Hope
this is wall-to-wall

and treetop tall, 10-33.

What do you think
that's all about?

Oh, somebody's playing around,

but we have more
important things to do.

MAN: 10-4, old
buddy. I'm 10-27.

Give me a hand here, Bo.

ROBIN: Message delivered.

I'll keep in touch with
you through the Batcom.

Can you hear me all right?

BATMAN [OVER RADIO]:
10-4, old buddy.

Systems all go.

Safe journey, Batman.

[♪♪♪] [BUZZING]

Yes?

WOMAN: Commissioner, a
CB operator just phoned

and said he received
an emergency call

for Chief Smokey
Bear Worthington.

Hmm.

Smokey Bear means policeman,

and only Batman and Robin know

that my middle name
is Worthington.

They're in trouble.

Miss Horton, call the
Coast Guard and the Navy.

I want all available ships
sent to the Bermuda Rectangle,

full speed.

BUBBLES: All right, Bo,

periscope up.

Range: 1200 yards.

Heading: north by northwest.

Start countdown.

[BEEPING]

[BEEPS]

BATMAN: The professor just released
a bubble to capture the ship,

and there's a shark
pushing it up.

Holy mackerel, a shark.

I've got to stop him.

How do you stop a shark?

With the Batbuzzer.

That is if Batman has time

to find the right frequency.

[OVER SPEAKER] The bubble,
Sharktooth, push it up.

Push it up. Get
the bubble up.

[BUZZING]

[POPS]

You haven't beaten
me yet, Batman.

We'll frighten him off

with the electric eels.

[GIGGLES]

I'm being pursued by
two electric eels.

If I can find the
transatlantic telephone cable,

I may be able to patch into
the subcarrier's frequency.

What good will
that do, Batman?

The phone line is DC,

the eels are AC.

I may be able to
change their polarity.

[♪♪♪]

Professor, there
are ships coming

from all directions.

It's the Navy.

We've got to get out of here.

Lucky I planned for
this possibility.

[GIGGLES]

Start the rockets.

Robin, the professor's
getting away.

I can't keep up with him.

Turn on the Bat-amplifier

so my voice can be
heard underwater.

Bat-amplifiers on,
go ahead, Batman.

[OVER SPEAKER] Sharktooth?
Where are you, Sharktooth?

Sharktooth, get the bubble.

Push it up, Sharktooth.

Good boy, Sharktooth.

Now push it up, bubble up,
Sharktooth, bubble up.

Thank you, Sharktooth.

And ahoy, Robin.

You can come up from below.

So long, professor.

Have a good trip...to jail.

Batcomputer: Bat Message.

Well, I think Bat-Mite learned

that when there's a job to do,

that's not the time
to play around.

Bat-Mite, I hope you
learned something else,

like keeping off other
people's property.

Of course I did.

You won't find me going

any place I'm not invited.

All right, Bat-Mite,
where are you?

BAT-MITE: See ya next week.

[BAT-MITE LAUGHS]
