Afternoon in
Gotham Central Park.
3
00:00:11,410 --> 00:00:13,443
Noble sanctuary of nature
4
00:00:13,445 --> 00:00:17,580
in the midst
of the teeming metropolis.
5
00:00:17,582 --> 00:00:21,517
Tranquility, peace, quiet.
6
00:00:21,519 --> 00:00:24,586
The deceptive
quiet of the jungle
7
00:00:24,588 --> 00:00:29,057
where a criminal beast
is about to spring.
8
00:00:29,625 --> 00:00:32,059

(female #1)
'Now, hear this.
Now, hear this.'
14
00:01:22,106 --> 00:01:24,806
'It is written
in the stars that on this day'
15
00:01:24,808 --> 00:01:29,644
'shall the great King of the
Nile rise up from the tomb.'
16
00:01:29,646 --> 00:01:33,614
'And he shall claim
his kingdom of Gotham City.'
17
00:01:33,616 --> 00:01:38,485
'And all who oppose him
shall be smitten dead.'
18
00:01:38,487 --> 00:01:40,153
"A giant sphinx

21
00:01:44,458 --> 00:01:47,158
Sure'n it could be
harmless, sir.
22
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:48,559
Uh, how so, Chief O'Hara?
23
00:01:48,561 --> 00:01:50,727
There was a piece
in the paper this morning.
24
00:01:50,729 --> 00:01:54,497
The Gotham City Museum
is unveiling a new exhibit
25
00:01:54,499 --> 00:01:56,799
of Egyptian antiques
this very day.
26
00:01:56,801 --> 00:02:00,435
Of course and this could
be just a publicity stunt.
27
00:02:00,437 --> 00:02:01,502
Yes, sir.
28
00:02:01,504 --> 00:02:02,269
Is there no limit
29
00:02:02,271 --> 00:02:05,639
to the brazen effrontery
of the press agent?
30
00:02:05,641 --> 00:02:08,575
I'll put paid
to their stunts.
31
00:02:08,577 --> 00:02:09,609
- 'Yes?'
- Uh, Bonnie.
32
00:02:09,611 --> 00:02:11,711
Get me my good friend,
millionaire Bruce Wayne.
33
00:02:11,713 --> 00:02:15,281
I expect he'll be at his
stately residence, Wayne Manor.
34
00:02:15,283 --> 00:02:17,750
Well, time to leave
for the museum, one and all.
35
00:02:17,752 --> 00:02:20,452
Mercy, yes. Let's not
be late, Bruce.
36
00:02:20,454 --> 00:02:25,790
There isn't anything I enjoy
more than a nice, fresh exhibit
37
00:02:25,792 --> 00:02:27,458
of Egyptian antiquities.
38
00:02:27,460 --> 00:02:28,592

00:02:29,628 --> 00:02:30,860
The telephone, madam.
41
00:02:30,862 --> 00:02:32,261
Police Commissioner Gordon
42
00:02:32,263 --> 00:02:34,529
wishes to speak with Mr. Wayne.
43
00:02:34,531 --> 00:02:36,497
- With me, Alfred?
- Uh, yes, sir.
44
00:02:36,499 --> 00:02:40,467
He was most distinct.
With Mr. Bruce Wayne.
45
00:02:40,469 --> 00:02:43,203
Excuse me, Aunt Harriet.
46
00:02:44,838 --> 00:02:45,671
Bruce Wayne speaking.
47
00:02:45,673 --> 00:02:48,206
Oh, um, sorry to bother you,
Bruce, but you're on
48
00:02:48,208 --> 00:02:51,175
the board of trustees of
the Gotham Museum, aren't you?
49
00:02:51,177 --> 00:02:53,143
Certainly,
I'm treasurer, in fact.
50
00:02:53,145 --> 00:02:55,211
'Well, you've gone
too far, Bruce.'
51
00:02:55,213 --> 00:02:58,347
This sphinx which has reared
itself at the park
52
00:02:58,349 --> 00:03:01,183
this terrifying
publicity stunt--
53
00:03:01,185 --> 00:03:02,751
This what?
54
00:03:02,753 --> 00:03:05,854
You mean...it isn't
a publicity stunt?
55
00:03:05,856 --> 00:03:10,758
My dear commissioner, I think
you've taken leave of your wits.
56
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,893
Goodbye.
57
00:03:14,695 --> 00:03:18,497
Imagine...the idea
of the Gotham Museum
58
00:03:18,499 --> 00:03:19,831
pulling a publicity stunt.
59
00:03:19,833 --> 00:03:24,769
- So, if it's not a stunt..
- Precisely, Chief O'Hara.
60
00:03:24,771 --> 00:03:27,872
This phenomenon takes
on new dimensions.
61
00:03:27,874 --> 00:03:30,908
Strange and sinister dimensions.
62
00:03:30,910 --> 00:03:36,647
In fact, there is only one man
alive who can take its measure.
63
00:03:44,622 --> 00:03:47,256
[beeping]
64
00:03:49,759 --> 00:03:52,727
I'll summon him, sir.
65
00:03:55,330 --> 00:03:57,230
[snaps fingers]
66
00:04:06,740 --> 00:04:10,909
Bruce, come on. What on Earth
is the matter with you two?
67
00:04:10,911 --> 00:04:13,311
I don't know, Aunt Harriet.
It's just that..
68
00:04:13,313 --> 00:04:14,612
- A sphinx he said.
- Gosh, Bruce.
69
00:04:14,614 --> 00:04:18,449
- That means what it could mean.
- We'll know soon enough.
70
00:04:18,451 --> 00:04:20,417
Excuse me, sir.
71
00:04:20,419 --> 00:04:22,719
Something in red, Alfred?
72
00:04:22,721 --> 00:04:23,820
Precisely, sir.
73
00:04:23,822 --> 00:04:25,621
Great heavens.
How forgetful of me.
74
00:04:25,623 --> 00:04:27,389
This new volume
by a Professor Red
75
00:04:27,391 --> 00:04:29,224
on ancient Egyptian
cat worship cults.
76
00:04:29,226 --> 00:04:32,627
I'd promised the museum
committee I'd look through it.
77
00:04:32,629 --> 00:04:33,761
Come on, Dick.
78
00:04:33,763 --> 00:04:34,461
Bruce.
79
00:04:34,463 --> 00:04:35,728
Those antiquities have waited
80
00:04:35,730 --> 00:04:37,996
thousands of years
for us, Aunt Harriet
81
00:04:37,998 --> 00:04:40,898
they'll wait a little longer.
82
00:04:42,333 --> 00:04:45,635
Mercy alive.
Such an impetuous pair.
83
00:04:45,637 --> 00:04:50,239
There should be some way
to harness such energy.
84
00:04:52,609 --> 00:04:53,442
Yes, commissioner.
85
00:04:53,444 --> 00:04:56,478
'A strange and terrible threat
to Gotham City.'
86
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,746
An ultimatum from the
remote past.
87
00:04:58,748 --> 00:05:01,014
We're on our way.
88
00:05:01,016 --> 00:05:01,914
Holy hieroglyphics!
89
00:05:01,916 --> 00:05:03,849
This might mean
a battle royal.
90
00:05:03,851 --> 00:05:06,551
Not the first, Dick,
not the last.
91
00:05:06,553 --> 00:05:09,253
To the Bat-poles.

Gosh! And everyone thought
he died in that warehouse fire.

We were mistaken it seems.
112
00:06:47,536 --> 00:06:51,538
He's risen like a phoenix
from the ashes to..
113
00:06:53,541 --> 00:06:56,776
Just what was his threat,
commissioner?
114
00:06:56,778 --> 00:06:57,777
Grandiose, Batman.
115
00:06:57,779 --> 00:07:00,045
He claimed Gotham City
for his own.
116
00:07:00,047 --> 00:07:01,980
In a greedy female voice.
117
00:07:01,982 --> 00:07:06,584
So...our mad pharaoh
has found himself a Nefertiti.
118
00:07:06,586 --> 00:07:10,588
Some hapless female
entrapped in a life of crime!
119
00:07:10,590 --> 00:07:12,823
The situation is grim, Batman.
120
00:07:12,825 --> 00:07:13,824
We've cordoned off the park
121
00:07:13,826 --> 00:07:16,059
but panic will soon
raise its ugly head.
122
00:07:16,061 --> 00:07:18,561
We could call out
the National Guard.
123
00:07:18,563 --> 00:07:22,464
Have them blast that pigging
sphinx with their artillery.
124
00:07:22,466 --> 00:07:23,865
No, Chief O'Hara. No.
125
00:07:23,867 --> 00:07:25,399
- No?
- No.
126
00:07:25,401 --> 00:07:26,366
If that were our objective
127
00:07:26,368 --> 00:07:29,068
I could do it with
the Batmobile's Bat-beam.
128
00:07:29,070 --> 00:07:29,802
Batman's right.
129
00:07:29,804 --> 00:07:33,672
King Tut may be a super-crook,
but he's a sick man too.
130
00:07:33,674 --> 00:07:35,707
Precisely, Robin.
131
00:07:35,709 --> 00:07:36,541
Let's not forget..
132
00:07:36,543 --> 00:07:40,478
...that he was once an eminent
professor at Yale University.
133
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,881
Then he was struck on
the head during a student riot
134
00:07:43,883 --> 00:07:47,551
'and awoke with
a strange double delusion'
135
00:07:47,553 --> 00:07:50,153
that Gotham City is the
reincarnation of ancient Thebes
136
00:07:50,155 --> 00:07:56,526
and he himself, the pharaoh
known to history as King Tut.

138
00:07:57,695 --> 00:07:59,628
This man is to be pitied.

00:07:59,630 --> 00:08:01,429
Pitied, Batman? Ha!
140
00:08:01,431 --> 00:08:03,597
How can one pity
a criminal who threatens
141
00:08:03,599 --> 00:08:04,764
our entire citizenry
with death?
142
00:08:04,766 --> 00:08:08,434
Pitied, commissioner.
Tempered with caution.
143
00:08:08,436 --> 00:08:11,904
Our first aim is to thwart
his criminal plans.
144
00:08:11,906 --> 00:08:13,005
What could it be?
145
00:08:13,007 --> 00:08:15,807
A mad dream to make
subjects of us all.
146
00:08:15,809 --> 00:08:17,675
(Chief O'Hara)
'But why tip us off?'
147
00:08:17,677 --> 00:08:20,544
Why warn us that
he's trying to make a comeback?
148
00:08:20,546 --> 00:08:22,579
Maybe this sphinx
will give us a clue.
149
00:08:22,581 --> 00:08:25,548
Robin's right. And we
don't have a moment to lose.
150
00:08:25,550 --> 00:08:29,585
Let's take a close look
at that inscrutable lady.
151
00:08:29,587 --> 00:08:32,821
Be careful, Batman.
Be careful.
152
00:08:33,522 --> 00:08:36,891
Meanwhile, in the palace
of King Tut
153
00:08:36,893 --> 00:08:41,662
bizarre remnant of last year's
Gotham City Exposition
154
00:08:41,664 --> 00:08:44,031
Chief O'Hara's question
is echoed
155
00:08:44,033 --> 00:08:48,168
inside the moldering
Great Hall.
156
00:08:48,170 --> 00:08:48,968
I don't get it.
157
00:08:48,970 --> 00:08:52,538
If you're gonna move in
on somebody's territory
158
00:08:52,540 --> 00:08:53,071
why tip him off?
159
00:08:53,073 --> 00:08:55,606
How should I know?
I'm only the Grand Vizier.
160
00:08:55,608 --> 00:08:58,041
Why don't you ask
His Royal Highness?
161
00:08:58,043 --> 00:09:01,577
[fanfare]
162
00:09:14,724 --> 00:09:17,192
You may rise.
163
00:09:18,961 --> 00:09:22,630
Loyal subjects, we are
pleased to inform you
164
00:09:22,632 --> 00:09:26,567
that Phase 1 of our royal
master plan has succeeded
165
00:09:26,569 --> 00:09:27,968
as prophesied.
166
00:09:27,970 --> 00:09:30,670
Hey, that's great, boss.
167
00:09:30,672 --> 00:09:33,105
I mean, Your Royal Highness.
168
00:09:33,107 --> 00:09:37,709
Phase 2 will now
be put into being.
169
00:09:37,711 --> 00:09:40,978
- Are there any questions?
- I got one.
170
00:09:40,980 --> 00:09:42,512
You may speak, Royal Scrivener.
171
00:09:42,514 --> 00:09:45,882
Like why? I mean why keep
that hunka rock in the park
172
00:09:45,884 --> 00:09:48,818
and tip off the suckers
what we're gonna do?
173
00:09:48,820 --> 00:09:51,153
You're a twit.
174
00:09:51,155 --> 00:09:53,588
'It's merely a sovereign
subterfuge'
175
00:09:53,590 --> 00:09:59,060
to exterminate a winged
rodent once and for all..
176
00:09:59,062 --> 00:09:59,994
...Batman!
177
00:09:59,996 --> 00:10:04,865
He should be biting
at the bait at about now.
178
00:10:04,867 --> 00:10:06,600
Oh, boy!
179
00:10:06,602 --> 00:10:09,869
All hail to King Tut.
180
00:10:09,871 --> 00:10:12,638
Great thorn of Thebes.
181
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,841
Nemesis of the Nile.
182
00:10:17,176 --> 00:10:20,645
Thank you, Grand Vizier.
Thank you.
183
00:10:20,647 --> 00:10:23,014
It was delightfully spoken.
184
00:10:23,016 --> 00:10:27,752
However, just in the off chance
that the Dynamic Duo
185
00:10:27,754 --> 00:10:30,354
should elude our
snick-snack snare
186
00:10:30,356 --> 00:10:34,157
battle stations
for the royal barque
187
00:10:34,159 --> 00:10:39,128
will land our
sinister sphinx upon.
188
00:10:39,829 --> 00:10:40,895
What do you make
of it, Batman?
189
00:10:40,897 --> 00:10:46,200
A rather good imitation of the
Fourth Dynasty sphinx of Giza.
190
00:10:46,668 --> 00:10:47,401
[eerie music]
191
00:10:47,403 --> 00:10:50,003
Holy hurricane. What's that?
192
00:10:50,005 --> 00:10:51,137
I think it means the sphinx
193
00:10:51,139 --> 00:10:53,672
is going to make
another pronouncement.
194
00:10:53,674 --> 00:10:56,041
(female #1)
'Now, hear this.'
195
00:10:56,043 --> 00:10:57,375
'Now, hear this.'
196
00:10:57,377 --> 00:11:01,746
'Whosoever transgresses
upon the sacred sphinx'
197
00:11:01,748 --> 00:11:04,682
'shall be smitten
down by Anubis.'
198
00:11:04,684 --> 00:11:08,118
'The jackal God,
Guardian of the Cemeteries.'
199
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:12,188
'And that goes
double for Batman.'
200
00:11:12,190 --> 00:11:15,024
- Challenge?
- So be it.
201
00:11:15,026 --> 00:11:16,959
Up we go.
202
00:11:17,894 --> 00:11:20,161
[dramatic music]
203
00:11:24,099 --> 00:11:25,833
(Robin)
'What do you think, Batman?'
204
00:11:25,835 --> 00:11:27,334
Could it be full
of King Tut's henchmen?
205
00:11:27,336 --> 00:11:31,438
If it is, there must be
a secret entrance somewhere.
206
00:11:32,106 --> 00:11:34,140
Look here.
207
00:11:34,341 --> 00:11:35,140
This must be it.
208
00:11:35,142 --> 00:11:37,008
Don't touch that handle, Robin.
209
00:11:37,010 --> 00:11:39,176
We don't know what
we're up against yet.
210
00:11:39,178 --> 00:11:43,280
You're right. The sphinx
could be booby trapped.
211
00:11:44,115 --> 00:11:46,983
Let's play it safe.
212
00:11:48,452 --> 00:11:50,886
[intense music]
213
00:12:07,136 --> 00:12:10,404
Holy whiskers!
That was a close shave!
214
00:12:10,406 --> 00:12:13,140
There's no longer
any doubt, Robin.
215
00:12:13,142 --> 00:12:19,246
Brilliant, warped mind of
King Tut is bent on murdering.
216
00:12:20,414 --> 00:12:22,481
[music continues]
217
00:12:30,823 --> 00:12:33,457
Signal from Nefertiti.
218
00:12:33,459 --> 00:12:34,424
Indeed.
219
00:12:34,426 --> 00:12:39,462
What does Great Ra, God
of the Sun have to inform us?
220
00:12:42,199 --> 00:12:45,067
Dynamic Duo escaped.
221
00:12:45,069 --> 00:12:46,435
[spits]
222
00:12:46,437 --> 00:12:49,771
Curses of Amenhotep!
223
00:12:51,206 --> 00:12:52,839
Your pharaoh speaks.
224
00:12:52,841 --> 00:12:55,741
Slaves and Helot swordsmen
225
00:12:55,743 --> 00:12:57,042
prepare for action.
226
00:12:57,044 --> 00:12:58,009
What's our next move, Batman?
227
00:12:58,011 --> 00:13:01,045
- Destroy this crooked sphinx?
- No, I don't think so, Robin.
228
00:13:01,047 --> 00:13:05,182
It's better to leave it here
under police observation so..
229
00:13:05,983 --> 00:13:07,016
Robin.
230
00:13:07,018 --> 00:13:08,484
Look, over there.
231
00:13:08,486 --> 00:13:10,853
[dramatic music]
232
00:13:10,855 --> 00:13:11,887
Holy masquerade!
233
00:13:11,889 --> 00:13:15,023
It's an odd getup
for a walk in the park.
234
00:13:15,025 --> 00:13:15,790
Odd indeed.
235
00:13:15,792 --> 00:13:18,459
It's a costume of the
Fourteenth Dynasty.
236
00:13:18,461 --> 00:13:20,160
Kind Tut's dynasty.
237
00:13:20,162 --> 00:13:22,328
Wow! Let's get her!
238
00:13:23,530 --> 00:13:26,031
Halt, you deluded creature.
239
00:13:26,033 --> 00:13:29,801
We've got you.
Escape is impossible.
240
00:13:30,402 --> 00:13:32,970
[explosion]
241
00:13:35,239 --> 00:13:39,342
Holy asp!
A trick Egyptian snake.
242
00:13:40,477 --> 00:13:43,145
Look out, Robin!
243
00:13:49,051 --> 00:13:50,918
[theme music]
244
00:13:51,085 --> 00:13:53,286
[swords clanking]
245
00:14:02,996 --> 00:14:04,997
Quick! Let's hot-foot it
after 'em.
246
00:14:04,999 --> 00:14:05,897
No, Robin, wait.
247
00:14:05,899 --> 00:14:08,132
I think that's exactly
what they want.
248
00:14:08,134 --> 00:14:09,133
- Why?
- An old game.
249
00:14:09,135 --> 00:14:11,201
To draw us away
from their real target.
250
00:14:11,203 --> 00:14:14,837
Of course. The Egyptian
exhibit at the museum.
251
00:14:14,839 --> 00:14:15,838
Right. The museum.
252
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:20,375
Where Bruce Wayne will
deal them a small surprise.
253
00:14:26,115 --> 00:14:31,052
A short while later
at the Gotham City Museum..
254
00:14:31,054 --> 00:14:34,221
You'll know it's the twin
emblems of the two lands.
255
00:14:34,223 --> 00:14:36,556
The large carnelian cobra here
256
00:14:36,558 --> 00:14:38,958
which is representative
of Upper Egypt
257
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,561
and the vulture, which is
the cult sign of Lower Egypt
258
00:14:42,563 --> 00:14:44,195
and carved from lapis lazuli.
259
00:14:44,197 --> 00:14:45,162
- Mr. Wayne.
- Yes.
260
00:14:45,164 --> 00:14:48,031
- What's the value of the crown?
- I don't really know.
261
00:14:48,033 --> 00:14:50,933
Except that as a rare
and historic art treasure
262
00:14:50,935 --> 00:14:51,934
it's undoubtedly priceless.
263
00:14:51,936 --> 00:14:56,305
Please inform your readers that
it's well-guarded at all times.
264
00:14:56,307 --> 00:14:58,140
[laughing]
265
00:14:58,142 --> 00:14:59,574
Now, ladies and gentlemen
266
00:14:59,576 --> 00:15:01,008
in deference to the press here
267
00:15:01,010 --> 00:15:03,210
which has deadlines
to meet I'm sure
268
00:15:03,212 --> 00:15:08,081
I propose now to offer to you
the pieces de resistance
269
00:15:08,083 --> 00:15:11,250
the mummified remains of..
270
00:15:11,252 --> 00:15:12,985
Hmm.
271
00:15:13,386 --> 00:15:15,553
All we know about this
particular gentleman
272
00:15:15,555 --> 00:15:18,989
is that he was a king
in the Fourteenth Dynasty
273
00:15:18,991 --> 00:15:20,924
and reigned in 1500 BC.
274
00:15:20,926 --> 00:15:22,892
Now, if my arithmetic is correct
275
00:15:22,894 --> 00:15:26,161
that would mean that
he's been dead approximately
276
00:15:26,163 --> 00:15:28,296
thirty five hundred years.
277
00:15:28,298 --> 00:15:30,298
And I believe it's
safe to state that
278
00:15:30,300 --> 00:15:35,870
this particular pharaoh fellow
will not rise again.
279
00:15:35,872 --> 00:15:38,539
[dramatic music]
280
00:15:49,918 --> 00:15:51,652
[thud]
281
00:15:56,658 --> 00:15:59,893
It's alive.
The sphinx prophecy was right.
282
00:15:59,895 --> 00:16:01,060
The king has risen again.
283
00:16:01,062 --> 00:16:04,096
Is there a doctor in the house?
284
00:16:04,897 --> 00:16:07,298
It is impossible,
isn't it, Bruce?
285
00:16:07,300 --> 00:16:08,932
It's fantastic! Incredible.
286
00:16:08,934 --> 00:16:13,469
The preservation techniques.
What a man he must've been!
287
00:16:14,537 --> 00:16:18,106
- The imagination boggles.
- 'The ambulance is here.'
288
00:16:18,108 --> 00:16:21,342
Make way for
the stretcher bearers.
289
00:16:29,150 --> 00:16:31,151
I'll leave you to
restore order here.
290
00:16:31,153 --> 00:16:34,621
I think I should go
along to the hospital.
291
00:16:39,660 --> 00:16:42,261
Mr. Wayne, what happened?
Is he still alive?
292
00:16:42,263 --> 00:16:46,098
- What about the prophecy now?
- No comment.
293
00:16:49,102 --> 00:16:51,169
[groaning]
294
00:16:52,337 --> 00:16:53,403
Hey, he's coming to.
295
00:16:53,405 --> 00:16:57,073
I rather expected he would. He
may want to tell us something.
296
00:16:57,075 --> 00:17:00,276
- What do you think he's saying?
- Shh. Shh.
297
00:17:00,410 --> 00:17:02,577
- Maybe this will help.
- Shh.
298
00:17:02,579 --> 00:17:05,513
[Bruce gagging]
299
00:17:33,408 --> 00:17:35,575
All hail Your Majesty.
300
00:17:35,577 --> 00:17:37,310
Phase 2 has worked perfectly.
301
00:17:37,312 --> 00:17:42,148
Naturally, it was
foreseen in the scrolls.
302
00:17:42,150 --> 00:17:45,351
To the palace with this...Helot.
303
00:17:45,353 --> 00:17:48,387
Your whim is our
command, O Majesty.
304
00:17:48,389 --> 00:17:50,122
[chuckles]
305
00:18:18,618 --> 00:18:21,252
[dramatic music]
306
00:18:32,163 --> 00:18:34,397
[humming]
307
00:18:41,204 --> 00:18:44,239
Nefertiti, you abandoned wench.
308
00:18:44,241 --> 00:18:45,406
How many times must I tell you
309
00:18:45,408 --> 00:18:51,345
queens consume nectar
and ambrosia, not hot dogs?
310
00:18:51,479 --> 00:18:52,212
So I get hungry.
311
00:18:52,214 --> 00:18:55,682
Living on nothing but figs
and dates and pomegranates.
312
00:18:55,684 --> 00:18:59,585
- You want a bite?
- Dah! Unclean.
313
00:19:00,353 --> 00:19:03,788
I must proclaim
my reincarnation
314
00:19:03,790 --> 00:19:05,623
to the faithful.
315
00:19:05,625 --> 00:19:08,492
Give me the telephone.
316
00:19:15,399 --> 00:19:18,701
Osman Abu, switcher of messages
317
00:19:18,703 --> 00:19:20,235
your pharaoh speaks.
318
00:19:20,237 --> 00:19:22,770
(man on phone)
'What is your desire,
great pharaoh?'
319
00:19:22,772 --> 00:19:25,639
Connect me to the voice box
of the sphinx
320
00:19:25,641 --> 00:19:28,541
in Gotham Central Park, please.
321
00:19:28,543 --> 00:19:31,210
'It shall be done,
great pharaoh.'
322
00:19:31,212 --> 00:19:32,744
[mumbles]
323
00:19:32,746 --> 00:19:38,549
Instruct the royal charioteer
to my palace with haste.
324
00:19:40,585 --> 00:19:43,153
[blows horn]
325
00:19:43,155 --> 00:19:46,122
Home, toots, and step on it.
326
00:19:46,124 --> 00:19:48,824
[engine revving]
327
00:19:55,198 --> 00:19:57,265

'"Now, hear this.
Now, hear this.'

'He will be held prisoner until
our royal demands are met.'
342
00:21:06,831 --> 00:21:09,965
These demands will
be made known to you
343
00:21:09,967 --> 00:21:13,868
by our inscrutable sphinx
at a later date.
344
00:21:13,870 --> 00:21:19,773
'In the meantime, the police
are warned not to interfere'

Remember, Batman

Bruce Wayne's life
is in your hand.
349

[dramatic music]
350
00:21:45,497 --> 00:21:48,465
I wonder how much he's
gonna ask of Bruce Wayne?
351
00:21:48,467 --> 00:21:51,634
I hear he's a rich millionaire.
352
00:21:51,636 --> 00:21:54,069
You know, Harry,
that Tut's a kook
353
00:21:54,071 --> 00:21:55,437
but he's got brains.
354
00:21:55,439 --> 00:21:57,505
I wouldn't be surprised
if he didn't wind up
355
00:21:57,507 --> 00:22:01,475
with the keenest gang
since old Moe got the hot squad.

00:22:05,546 --> 00:22:07,680
[beeping]
358
00:22:08,581 --> 00:22:09,714
Robin speaking.
359
00:22:09,716 --> 00:22:12,550
Uh, put Batman on, Boy Wonder.
360
00:22:12,552 --> 00:22:13,417
It's a crisis.
361
00:22:13,419 --> 00:22:15,419
Bruce Wayne has
just been kidnapped.
362
00:22:15,421 --> 00:22:17,621
Bruce Wayne kidnapped?
How? When?
363
00:22:17,623 --> 00:22:18,421
Only minutes ago.
364
00:22:18,423 --> 00:22:20,823
The King Tut resurrection was
just an elaborate smokescreen
365
00:22:20,825 --> 00:22:23,525
to conceal his real crime.
Let me speak to Batman.
366
00:22:23,527 --> 00:22:25,660
Commissioner,
I don't know where he is.
367
00:22:25,662 --> 00:22:28,496
As soon as you hear from him,
there's not much time.
368
00:22:28,498 --> 00:22:31,599
Bruce Wayne is one of our
most prominent millionaires.
369
00:22:31,601 --> 00:22:32,466
So I've heard.
370
00:22:32,468 --> 00:22:35,402
This arch-abductor may ask
a king's ransom for him.
371
00:22:35,404 --> 00:22:36,069
We've got to move fast.
372
00:22:36,071 --> 00:22:38,971
I...I can't understand
where Batman could be?
373
00:22:38,973 --> 00:22:41,406
Neither can I.
Goodbye, commissioner.
374
00:22:41,408 --> 00:22:43,474
You've heard the calamitous
news, Master Robin?
375
00:22:43,476 --> 00:22:47,377
- Yes. Does Aunt Harriet know?
- On the 3 o'clock news.
376
00:22:47,379 --> 00:22:48,678
I'm afraid she's badly shaken.
377
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:52,848
And I must admit,
it's left me a bit shaken too.
378
00:22:52,850 --> 00:22:54,449
Is there nothing to be done?
379
00:22:54,451 --> 00:22:55,817
Don't lose heart, Alfred.
380
00:22:55,819 --> 00:22:57,718
Batman is, well, Batman!
381
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,687
He'll get a message
to us somehow.
382
00:23:00,689 --> 00:23:02,789
[dramatic music]
383
00:23:07,961 --> 00:23:10,062
[tires screeching]
384
00:23:16,903 --> 00:23:19,104

385
00:23:32,785 --> 00:23:34,886
[tires screeching]
386
00:23:37,122 --> 00:23:39,556
[music continues]
387
00:24:01,445 --> 00:24:02,878
Holy cliffhanger!
388
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:07,816
Bruce Wayne hurtling
toward an awesome abyss!
389
00:24:07,818 --> 00:24:08,950
What will be his fate?
390
00:24:08,952 --> 00:24:13,120
How can he possibly
be saved this time?
391
00:24:13,122 --> 00:24:14,521
Be in front of your
392
00:24:14,523 --> 00:24:16,723
Bat-sets tomorrow night.
393
00:24:16,725 --> 00:24:18,091
Same time.
394
00:24:18,093 --> 00:24:20,460
Same channel.
395
00:24:20,462 --> 00:24:21,060
One hint
396
00:24:21,062 --> 00:24:25,164
the most horrendous
is yet to come.
397
00:24:25,166 --> 00:24:26,832
[crash]
398
00:24:31,637 --> 00:24:33,604
