(male narrator)
When we said our last fearful
farewells to Batman and Robin
3
00:00:11,309 --> 00:00:13,108
the malevolent Mad Hatter
had trapped them
4
00:00:13,110 --> 00:00:17,011
in a fluoroscopic cabinet
of an atomic energy laboratory.
5
00:00:17,013 --> 00:00:19,213
Where exposed
to high voltage X-rays
6
00:00:19,215 --> 00:00:21,281
it would only be a matter
of moments
7
00:00:21,283 --> 00:00:23,182
before they'd
be radiated forever.
8
00:00:23,184 --> 00:00:25,784
For you, another
few hours have gone by.
9
00:00:25,786 --> 00:00:29,154
For the Dynamic Duo,
an eternity.
10
00:00:29,156 --> 00:00:32,190
As we shall shortly see

00:00:33,025 --> 00:00:36,427

Horror of horrors!
22
00:01:45,421 --> 00:01:47,721
Can it have happen
at long, long last?
23
00:01:47,723 --> 00:01:51,458
The disastrous demise
of the Dynamic Duo.
24
00:01:51,460 --> 00:01:53,526
Yesterday, flesh and blood.
25
00:01:53,528 --> 00:01:55,694
Now, cowl skeletons.
26
00:01:55,696 --> 00:01:57,228
But who could this be?
27
00:01:57,230 --> 00:01:58,495
The Mad Hatter again?
28
00:01:58,497 --> 00:02:00,864
Demented enough
to return to the scene
29
00:02:00,866 --> 00:02:03,499
of his fossilized folly.
30
00:02:03,501 --> 00:02:04,233
[shrieking]
31
00:02:04,235 --> 00:02:08,237
What's the matter, Polly?
I told you what to expect.
32
00:02:08,239 --> 00:02:09,271
But I didn't expect it.
33
00:02:09,273 --> 00:02:12,474
Why did you bring me here
if you know about this?
34
00:02:12,476 --> 00:02:15,343
Every man likes
a pretty girl with him
35
00:02:15,345 --> 00:02:16,644
at a skeleton dance.
36
00:02:16,646 --> 00:02:19,179
This time Jervis,
you've gone too far.
37
00:02:19,181 --> 00:02:20,747
At the least,
far enough, boss.
38
00:02:20,749 --> 00:02:22,882
There's still
ground to be covered.
39
00:02:22,884 --> 00:02:25,384
But with Batman
and Robin out of the way
40
00:02:25,386 --> 00:02:27,386
as I've seen
with my own two eyes.
41
00:02:27,388 --> 00:02:31,189
The rest of this caper
should be a picnic.
42
00:02:31,191 --> 00:02:33,424
A picnic? At a time like this?
43
00:02:33,426 --> 00:02:36,393
Let's get outta her before
anybody discovers us.
44
00:02:36,395 --> 00:02:41,598
Although apparently no one
is keeping a death watch.
45
00:02:43,534 --> 00:02:45,334
[intense music]
46
00:02:46,235 --> 00:02:50,638
Hey, boss? You know you could've
picked up another cowl in there.
47
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:51,905
A morbid thought, Skimmer.
48
00:02:51,907 --> 00:02:54,807
The one I tricked Batman
out of last night.
49
00:02:54,809 --> 00:02:57,743
Will fill the bill
beautifully.
50
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:02,813
No!
51
00:03:02,815 --> 00:03:03,880
I won't believe it.
52
00:03:03,882 --> 00:03:07,316
I don't believe it!
I can't believe it!

00:03:08,818 --> 00:03:13,454
(Gordon)
'My world has just
been ripped to shreds.'
54
00:03:13,456 --> 00:03:16,156
Seam by seam.
55
00:03:16,158 --> 00:03:16,890
Come now, commissioner.
56
00:03:16,892 --> 00:03:20,426
Nothing could be
as bad as all that.
57
00:03:21,194 --> 00:03:22,594
This is, chief.
58
00:03:22,596 --> 00:03:27,665
A cleaning woman at the Gotham
Atomic Energy Laboratory..
59
00:03:27,667 --> 00:03:28,866
Now, easy, does it.
60
00:03:28,868 --> 00:03:32,936
Just call the editor
of the Gotham Post Tribune..
61
00:03:32,938 --> 00:03:35,271
Maybe if you loosened
your tie a little.
62
00:03:35,273 --> 00:03:38,641
Have you still got that
bottle here in your drawer?
63
00:03:38,643 --> 00:03:41,276
That she had seen the..
64
00:03:41,910 --> 00:03:44,344
...the skeletons..
65
00:03:44,745 --> 00:03:47,313
...of Batman and Robin.
66
00:03:48,348 --> 00:03:50,248
The what?
67
00:03:50,250 --> 00:03:54,619
The skeletons
of the Caped Crusaders
68
00:03:54,621 --> 00:03:57,588
shrouded in their cowls.
69
00:03:57,590 --> 00:03:59,456
Hold on to me,
commissioner.
70
00:03:59,458 --> 00:04:04,727
In a fluoroscopic cabinet
where they met their maker.
71
00:04:04,729 --> 00:04:06,495
Don't say it.
72
00:04:06,497 --> 00:04:09,498
Under high voltage X-ray.
73
00:04:09,500 --> 00:04:11,900
[crying]
74
00:04:11,902 --> 00:04:13,768
No!
75
00:04:20,308 --> 00:04:23,643
Pennsylvania 6-5-0-0-0.
76
00:04:24,711 --> 00:04:26,511
Oh!
77
00:04:26,513 --> 00:04:29,614
No! No!
78
00:04:29,616 --> 00:04:31,482
No!
79
00:04:31,484 --> 00:04:32,883
Well, he's at
his ranch right now
80
00:04:32,885 --> 00:04:36,853
but I'm sure he'll fly
to Gotham City right away.

00:04:39,556 --> 00:04:42,958

00:04:50,798 --> 00:04:54,734
Oh! No, no, no!
84
00:04:55,635 --> 00:04:56,501
She's at Windsor Castle
85
00:04:56,503 --> 00:04:59,837
I know she'll fly
to Gotham City immediately.
86
00:05:04,342 --> 00:05:06,376
[speaking Russian]
87
00:05:06,378 --> 00:05:08,678

[speaking Russian]
89
00:05:23,792 --> 00:05:24,591
Uh, Batman?
90
00:05:24,593 --> 00:05:27,827
I want to thank you for your
assistance, Professor Overbeck.
91
00:05:27,829 --> 00:05:29,361
Oh, please. Don't thank me.
92
00:05:29,363 --> 00:05:32,964
You know, if it weren't
for that little thingamajig..
93
00:05:32,966 --> 00:05:38,436
You mean the Bat-X-ray deflector
in my utility belt.
94
00:05:38,438 --> 00:05:39,603
(Robin)
'Gosh, yes. Sure.'
95
00:05:39,605 --> 00:05:40,704
A great gadget for deflecting
96
00:05:40,706 --> 00:05:42,839
all types of radiation.
In an instant.
97
00:05:42,841 --> 00:05:45,608
It never hurts
to be prepared, professor.
98
00:05:45,610 --> 00:05:47,509
Oh, and you certainly were.
99
00:05:47,511 --> 00:05:52,313
With that extra cowl you wear
under your contaminated one
100
00:05:52,315 --> 00:05:56,517
and the additional wardrobe
you had in your Batmobile.
101
00:05:56,519 --> 00:05:58,485
It wouldn't have worked
if it hadn't been
102
00:05:58,487 --> 00:06:01,521
for the two skeletons
in your closet.
103
00:06:01,523 --> 00:06:04,657
We should get to the Bat-cave.
Wait a minute, Robin.
104
00:06:04,659 --> 00:06:07,059
Remember we left
the Batmobile in back.
105
00:06:07,061 --> 00:06:09,928
Holy memory bank!
You're right.
106
00:06:13,732 --> 00:06:18,402
But earth shaking events
or solitary moments
107
00:06:18,404 --> 00:06:20,971
crime marches on.
108
00:06:21,806 --> 00:06:25,575
'Look Jervis, they're coming
down the tank now.'
109
00:06:25,577 --> 00:06:27,543
So I see. He he.
110
00:06:27,545 --> 00:06:29,378
'Batman thought
he was so smart.'
111
00:06:29,380 --> 00:06:32,948
Planting that
tracking gizmo in this cowl.
112
00:06:32,950 --> 00:06:35,417
But now it's planted forever
113
00:06:35,419 --> 00:06:37,352
in that tank
at the top of the tower.
114
00:06:37,354 --> 00:06:42,490
Oh, the Mad Hatter has
outsmarted the dear departed.
115
00:06:42,691 --> 00:06:46,360
Jervis, you sound like
the Joker or the Puzzler
116
00:06:46,362 --> 00:06:47,527
or even the Riddler.
117
00:06:47,529 --> 00:06:49,028
Those phonies?
118
00:06:49,030 --> 00:06:50,429
Well, if Batman is so..
119
00:06:50,431 --> 00:06:53,565
..so departed, why'd you go
through all the trouble
120
00:06:53,567 --> 00:06:54,799
of hiding the tracking gizmo?
121
00:06:54,801 --> 00:06:58,636
I'm not hiding it, Polly.
I'm drowning it.
122
00:06:58,638 --> 00:07:00,704
Now, obviously,
the Caped Crusader's
123
00:07:00,706 --> 00:07:03,540
little accident
will be discovered.
124
00:07:03,542 --> 00:07:06,776
'There will be question's asked.
The police will be called in.'
125
00:07:06,778 --> 00:07:10,346
I don't want anything
to lead them to me.
126
00:07:10,348 --> 00:07:13,916
At least not until I have
replaced the priceless ruby
127
00:07:13,918 --> 00:07:16,919
in the Golden Buddha
of Bergama's forehead
128
00:07:16,921 --> 00:07:22,658
with this cheap replica from
Hattie Hatfield's headdress.
129
00:07:22,660 --> 00:07:23,925
Cheap replica?
130
00:07:23,927 --> 00:07:28,729
Of course, this is not
the real Hatfield ruby.
131
00:07:28,731 --> 00:07:30,831
You knew
that all the time?
132
00:07:30,833 --> 00:07:31,698
All of the time, Polly.
133
00:07:31,700 --> 00:07:35,802
My entire plan was to find
a ruby similar to one
134
00:07:35,804 --> 00:07:36,936
in the Buddha's forehead.
135
00:07:36,938 --> 00:07:40,706
And then, get rid
of Batman and Robin.
136
00:07:40,708 --> 00:07:42,374
'Now I've succeeded in both.'
137
00:07:42,376 --> 00:07:45,009
Now just as soon as Benny
and Skimmer come in
138
00:07:45,011 --> 00:07:48,012
we're off to
the Gotham Art Center.
139
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:49,046
Why there?
140
00:07:49,048 --> 00:07:50,447
Because that's where the Buddha
141
00:07:50,449 --> 00:07:52,415
goes on exhibit...in one hour.
142
00:07:52,417 --> 00:07:54,150
Now all we have to do
is overpower
143
00:07:54,152 --> 00:07:57,419
the royal Bergama guard
accompanying the exhibit
144
00:07:57,421 --> 00:07:58,420
on it's world tour.
145
00:07:58,422 --> 00:08:02,390
And then, with the aid of my
reliable ruby retriever
146
00:08:02,392 --> 00:08:06,127
we'll switch ruby's
and we're off and running.
147
00:08:06,129 --> 00:08:09,130
We'd better be off
and running right now, boss.
148
00:08:09,132 --> 00:08:10,531
You been outside recently?
149
00:08:10,533 --> 00:08:11,932
Not since we came
in here, why?
150
00:08:11,934 --> 00:08:15,568
Because everything's come
to a dead stop, that's why.
151
00:08:15,570 --> 00:08:17,703
Some found those two skeletons.
152
00:08:17,705 --> 00:08:20,405
It was bound to happen
sooner or later.
153
00:08:20,407 --> 00:08:21,706
Well, it happened sooner.
154
00:08:21,708 --> 00:08:22,973
All business is shut down.
155
00:08:22,975 --> 00:08:26,977
People are flocking
to their home by the thousands.
156
00:08:26,979 --> 00:08:28,878
The whole town's
at half mast.
157
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,081
What a perfect time
to snatch the ruby.
158
00:08:32,083 --> 00:08:34,149
Now, Jervis,
I'm not so sure that I..
159
00:08:34,151 --> 00:08:36,584
'Now don't go soft
on me, Polly.'
160
00:08:36,586 --> 00:08:40,521
Who made Batman and Robin
famous crime fighters?
161
00:08:40,523 --> 00:08:41,688
Criminals, that's who.
162
00:08:41,690 --> 00:08:45,558
'If you want to show a little
respect to the departed.'
163
00:08:45,560 --> 00:08:46,492
Stay crooked.
164
00:08:46,494 --> 00:08:48,193
That's the least you could do.
165
00:08:48,195 --> 00:08:51,196
- Sure, boss.
- You bet.
166
00:08:51,530 --> 00:08:54,498
Well, I guess
you're right, Jervis.
167
00:08:54,500 --> 00:08:58,068
It is sort of like
putting flowers on their graves.
168
00:08:58,070 --> 00:08:59,803
[laughing]
169
00:09:06,610 --> 00:09:07,577
I'm sorry, Mildred.
170
00:09:07,579 --> 00:09:13,683
There are already over 4000
women on the funeral committee.
171
00:09:14,117 --> 00:09:15,884
But I might work you in
172
00:09:15,886 --> 00:09:19,954
on the Statue of Batman
committee.
173
00:09:20,288 --> 00:09:23,657
Good, I'll put
your name down.
174
00:09:23,659 --> 00:09:27,193
It's just wonderful the way
the citizens get together
175
00:09:27,195 --> 00:09:29,261
when it's a national crisis.
176
00:09:29,263 --> 00:09:30,962
Isn't it?
177
00:09:31,163 --> 00:09:33,697
Oh, Alfred. How touching.
178
00:09:33,699 --> 00:09:35,198
You're in mourning too?
179
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,334
'And you're not even
a native citizen.'
180
00:09:38,336 --> 00:09:44,673
Now you two boys must get
black arm-bands too.
181
00:09:45,174 --> 00:09:47,208
Aunt Harriet..
182
00:09:48,877 --> 00:09:50,177
Oh..
183
00:09:50,179 --> 00:09:51,811
What in the world is that?
184
00:09:51,813 --> 00:09:53,913
That's what I came
to tell you, madam.
185
00:09:53,915 --> 00:09:56,582
An immense crowd
has gathered outside.
186
00:09:56,584 --> 00:09:58,717
I...I had to close the gates.
187
00:09:58,719 --> 00:10:01,152
You see, madam,
they know that..
188
00:10:01,154 --> 00:10:04,722
..that Mr. Bruce
was a friend of Batman.
189
00:10:04,724 --> 00:10:06,690
Well. They're just here.
190
00:10:06,692 --> 00:10:09,993
See that they are served
coffee and sandwiches.
191
00:10:09,995 --> 00:10:15,798
And we'll see them as soon as
we get composed a little more.
192
00:10:20,904 --> 00:10:22,371
Aunt Harriet.
193
00:10:22,373 --> 00:10:26,842
Aunt Harriet,
what would your...reaction be
194
00:10:26,844 --> 00:10:32,914
if I told you that
beyond...a shadow of a doubt
195
00:10:32,916 --> 00:10:37,785
I knew...that Batman
and Robin..
196
00:10:38,219 --> 00:10:39,319
...are still alive.
197
00:10:39,321 --> 00:10:43,389
Well, I just wouldn't believe it
that's all.
198
00:10:43,391 --> 00:10:44,823
What if I told you,
Aunt Harriet?
199
00:10:44,825 --> 00:10:50,662
Oh, you two are sweet to try to
bolster my shattered spirits.
200
00:10:50,664 --> 00:10:54,399
But after all, I myself
was the one who telephoned
201
00:10:54,401 --> 00:10:58,770
'Professor Overbeck at
the Atomic Laboratory'
202
00:10:58,772 --> 00:11:01,038
and he wouldn't lie,
would he?
203
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:07,911
Dick, perhaps you and I should
have a moment alone in my study.
204
00:11:07,913 --> 00:11:08,678
I think so, Bruce.
205
00:11:08,680 --> 00:11:14,150
That's a beautiful way for you
to express your respects.
206
00:11:18,655 --> 00:11:20,288
[telephone ringing]
207
00:11:20,989 --> 00:11:24,992
Hello?
Oh, hello, Esther.
208
00:11:25,827 --> 00:11:27,327
One more try, Dick?
209
00:11:27,329 --> 00:11:30,296
It's the only thing
to do, Bruce.
210
00:11:30,864 --> 00:11:33,765
50,000 people.
211
00:11:33,767 --> 00:11:36,400
Just...just standing.
212
00:11:37,135 --> 00:11:42,405
Greatest of all the ills
of man is grief, Chief O'Hara.
213
00:11:42,939 --> 00:11:44,973
[Bat-phone beeping]
214
00:11:47,443 --> 00:11:49,210
Mother McGillicutty!
215
00:11:49,212 --> 00:11:51,212
He's phoning from the grave.
216
00:11:51,214 --> 00:11:56,217
One thing we do know at least,
Batman isn't buried yet.
217
00:12:03,425 --> 00:12:05,225
Yes? Batman?
218
00:12:05,227 --> 00:12:07,460
Commissioner,
I tried to get you earlier.
219
00:12:07,462 --> 00:12:10,463
For, as a great man
before me has said..
220
00:12:10,465 --> 00:12:14,333
'The rumors of my death
are greatly exaggerated.'
221
00:12:14,335 --> 00:12:16,968
It's him, alright.
The Caped Crusader.
222
00:12:16,970 --> 00:12:19,804
Return from beyond the pale,
that's what he's done.
223
00:12:19,806 --> 00:12:23,808
Apparently, there's been
a slight error, Batman.
224
00:12:23,810 --> 00:12:25,376
I'll explain or..
225
00:12:25,378 --> 00:12:28,112
...certainly try,
later, commissioner.
226
00:12:28,114 --> 00:12:31,348
Right now Robin and I
are off to nail Mad Hatter.
227
00:12:31,350 --> 00:12:33,049
The Mad Hatter,
at a time like this?
228
00:12:33,051 --> 00:12:35,951
Who cares about that pipsqueak's
inconsequential crimes?
229
00:12:35,953 --> 00:12:39,955
Any crime, no matter how large
or small, Commissioner Gordon
230
00:12:39,957 --> 00:12:42,457
is a violation of
a public right and common law.
231
00:12:42,459 --> 00:12:46,294
And the criminal or criminals
committing such an offence
232
00:12:46,296 --> 00:12:47,328
must be apprehended.
233
00:12:47,330 --> 00:12:50,431
For the sake of
all human morality.
234
00:12:50,433 --> 00:12:52,332
'You'll hear from me shortly.'
235
00:12:52,334 --> 00:12:53,199
Right.
236
00:12:53,201 --> 00:12:55,434
To the Bat-poles.
237
00:12:58,471 --> 00:13:01,372
Well, I guess the first order
of business, Chief O'Hara
238
00:13:01,374 --> 00:13:04,074
is getting word
to the presidential jet.
239
00:13:04,076 --> 00:13:04,741
Right.
240
00:13:04,743 --> 00:13:08,010
But even while the world
pulls out of it's tailspin
241
00:13:08,012 --> 00:13:14,049
the Mad Hatter is violating
public right and common law.
242
00:13:15,117 --> 00:13:18,052
I told you, the perfect time
for the perfect crime.
243
00:13:18,054 --> 00:13:21,488
Even the Bergama royal
guards aren't here.
244
00:13:25,159 --> 00:13:27,226
Boy, that was quick, boss.
245
00:13:27,228 --> 00:13:28,427
Not quick enough, Jervis.
246
00:13:28,429 --> 00:13:31,763
I was down at the hat check
stand, checking no hats
247
00:13:31,765 --> 00:13:33,865
- And guess what I heard?
- What?
248
00:13:33,867 --> 00:13:35,867
Batman and Robin are alive.
249
00:13:35,869 --> 00:13:37,235
How could you have heard that?
250
00:13:37,237 --> 00:13:40,004
Well, I did, and it's spreading
like wildfire.
251
00:13:40,006 --> 00:13:42,306
From the president,
to the satellite
252
00:13:42,308 --> 00:13:43,440
to every country on earth.
253
00:13:43,442 --> 00:13:46,276
Wouldn't you know,
I reach the peak of my career
254
00:13:46,278 --> 00:13:49,312
and now a petty annoyance
like this.
255
00:13:54,384 --> 00:13:55,917
While at the same time
256
00:13:55,919 --> 00:14:01,155
Batman and Robin are back
in their familiar haunt.
257
00:14:03,291 --> 00:14:04,891
Mad Hatter..
258
00:14:04,893 --> 00:14:09,362
...has to be someplace
with that contaminated cowl.
259
00:14:09,364 --> 00:14:10,429
- Ergo.
- Ergo.
260
00:14:10,431 --> 00:14:17,269
Ergo, the small bug I tucked
in cowl has to be someplace too.
261
00:14:17,903 --> 00:14:18,969
[sonar signal]
262
00:14:18,971 --> 00:14:20,503
Is that a bleep?
263
00:14:21,404 --> 00:14:25,940
It sounded more like
a splash to me, Robin.
264
00:14:25,942 --> 00:14:28,542
Which fits.
My little gadget contained
265
00:14:28,544 --> 00:14:31,545
an underwater Bat-sonar device.
266
00:14:31,547 --> 00:14:32,245
Holy mermaid!
267
00:14:32,247 --> 00:14:36,415
Now let's see if we can pinpoint
the exact location.
268
00:14:44,924 --> 00:14:48,893
A body of water
at Spring and Lake streets.
269
00:14:48,895 --> 00:14:49,927
The old Lake Street Reservoir.
270
00:14:49,929 --> 00:14:54,331
Drained, filled and turned
into a housing project.
271
00:14:54,333 --> 00:14:56,966
The Spring Street Aquarium?
272
00:14:56,968 --> 00:14:58,867
Ran out of fish.
273
00:14:59,001 --> 00:14:59,900
We're not getting far.
274
00:14:59,902 --> 00:15:04,571
But it's a lot better
than being departed and defunct.
275
00:15:04,573 --> 00:15:06,272
Defunct?
276
00:15:06,274 --> 00:15:08,107
You may have hit it,
old chum.
277
00:15:08,109 --> 00:15:10,476
The defunct
Green Derby restaurant
278
00:15:10,478 --> 00:15:14,012
near the intersection of
Spring and Lake streets.
279
00:15:14,014 --> 00:15:16,280
And if memory
serves me correctly
280
00:15:16,282 --> 00:15:19,616
there is an old,
elevated water storage tank
281
00:15:19,618 --> 00:15:21,284
directly behind it.
282
00:15:21,286 --> 00:15:24,053
[Bat-phone beeping]
283
00:15:26,356 --> 00:15:27,322
Yes, commissioner.
284
00:15:27,324 --> 00:15:29,557
We've just learned
a ruby was stolen
285
00:15:29,559 --> 00:15:30,424
out of the Golden Buddha
286
00:15:30,426 --> 00:15:33,126
on exhibit at the
Gotham Art Center, Batman.
287
00:15:33,128 --> 00:15:34,393
and replaced by the one taken
288
00:15:34,395 --> 00:15:37,229
out of Hattie Hatfield's
headdress last night.
289
00:15:37,231 --> 00:15:39,064
Which incidentally was fake.
290
00:15:39,066 --> 00:15:41,066
No doubt,
the Mad Hatter's involved.
291
00:15:41,068 --> 00:15:45,603
But you don't know how relieved
I am to tell you this, Batman.
292
00:15:45,605 --> 00:15:49,506
Relieved? At the loss
of a million dollar ruby?
293
00:15:49,508 --> 00:15:50,273
'No. No, no.'
294
00:15:50,275 --> 00:15:53,876
Relieved to know that
you are back on the job.
295
00:15:53,878 --> 00:15:55,477
Thank you,
commissioner.
296
00:15:55,479 --> 00:15:59,447
And we'll try to get
that ruby back too.
297
00:16:00,649 --> 00:16:01,482
Well, old chum.
298
00:16:01,484 --> 00:16:07,588
Out of the sarcophagus
and back into the saddle.
299
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,095
[instrumental music]
300
00:16:15,396 --> 00:16:21,033
Gentlemen, would you care
to check your...cowls?
301
00:16:21,167 --> 00:16:23,434
We won't be staying
that long, miss.
302
00:16:23,436 --> 00:16:28,172
And business doesn't seem to be
exactly...thriving.
303
00:16:28,174 --> 00:16:29,673
Oh, well we
shut down immediately
304
00:16:29,675 --> 00:16:32,308
when we heard about
Batman and Robin.
305
00:16:32,310 --> 00:16:34,343
A thoughtful gesture.
306
00:16:34,345 --> 00:16:38,413
But a lot of dust
sure settled in a short time.
307
00:16:38,415 --> 00:16:39,514
Oh, well, it's this location.
308
00:16:39,516 --> 00:16:43,251
With that water tower
out back there
309
00:16:43,253 --> 00:16:44,585
it's...it's..
310
00:16:44,587 --> 00:16:46,219
What about that water tower?
311
00:16:46,221 --> 00:16:50,356
Well, it seems to attract
a lot of dust.
312
00:16:51,391 --> 00:16:53,125
Let's level, young lady.
313
00:16:53,127 --> 00:16:55,460
Does it not
also attract Mad Hatter
314
00:16:55,462 --> 00:16:56,627
and his equally mad henchmen?
315
00:16:56,629 --> 00:16:59,196
And are they not using
this defunct restaurant
316
00:16:59,198 --> 00:17:02,499
as a hideout
with you as pretty decoy?
317
00:17:02,501 --> 00:17:05,401
Where would you
get an idea like that?
318
00:17:05,403 --> 00:17:07,136
From that cowl
319
00:17:07,138 --> 00:17:10,939
'which Mad Hatter
stole from me last night.'
320
00:17:12,007 --> 00:17:13,607
You're Batman?
321
00:17:13,609 --> 00:17:14,674
Holy hoodwink!
322
00:17:14,676 --> 00:17:17,943
Holy naivety!
Take your choice.
323
00:17:17,945 --> 00:17:19,144
Exactly, Robin.
324
00:17:19,146 --> 00:17:22,213
And when they saw
the Batmobile pull up outside
325
00:17:22,215 --> 00:17:26,183
did Mad Hatter and his stooges
head for that water tower?
326
00:17:26,185 --> 00:17:27,584
Whatever their
nefarious reasons?
327
00:17:27,586 --> 00:17:30,486
Sure, they're climbing
it right now.
328
00:17:33,122 --> 00:17:35,990
That cowl, which Mad Hatter
apparently forgot
329
00:17:35,992 --> 00:17:41,095
to decontaminate, contains
lethal radioactive elements.
330
00:17:41,097 --> 00:17:44,331
He must get
medical help at once.
331
00:17:46,300 --> 00:17:47,667
Let's go, Robin.
332
00:17:47,669 --> 00:17:49,568
Uh, may I go with you?
333
00:17:49,570 --> 00:17:52,137
Yes, you can lead the way.
334
00:17:59,512 --> 00:18:03,248
Look, boss. Polly is leading
Batman and Robin right here.
335
00:18:03,250 --> 00:18:05,350
Straight to this water tower.
336
00:18:06,018 --> 00:18:08,619
[intense music]
337
00:18:12,323 --> 00:18:15,425
Oh, Jervis isn't gonna
like this at all.
338
00:18:15,427 --> 00:18:19,195
Or is he expecting you
to play coy?
339
00:18:19,197 --> 00:18:22,631
Then innocent. Then frightened.
340
00:18:22,633 --> 00:18:24,700
Then lead us to him.
341
00:18:24,702 --> 00:18:27,135
You mean a trap, Batman.
342
00:18:27,137 --> 00:18:28,769
I think, we should
make this climb
343
00:18:28,771 --> 00:18:32,839
with even more caution
that usual.
344
00:18:33,207 --> 00:18:34,540
Robin.
345
00:18:35,408 --> 00:18:37,409
Stand back.
346
00:18:40,679 --> 00:18:43,881
- They're coming up.
- So what?
347
00:18:49,187 --> 00:18:51,388
When they get to the top
I'll simply turn on
348
00:18:51,390 --> 00:18:56,292
my super instant mesmerizing
device in my hat and..
349
00:18:58,561 --> 00:18:59,861
Any other ideas, boss?
350
00:18:59,863 --> 00:19:03,531
Where's the rest of the gang?
Hey, gang.

00:20:41,326 --> 00:20:43,427
[siren blaring]
355
00:20:55,339 --> 00:20:58,441
[music continues]
356
00:21:00,444 --> 00:21:02,278
Come on, boys.
357
00:21:22,999 --> 00:21:25,934
- Where's the Mad Hatter?
- Up there.
358
00:21:26,268 --> 00:21:28,469
Come down before you die
of radioactivity.
359
00:21:28,471 --> 00:21:31,271
At least I'll die
with a fortune.
360
00:21:31,273 --> 00:21:34,474
The ruby from the Golden Buddha
of Bergama's forehead
361
00:21:34,476 --> 00:21:35,475
is in my pocket.
362
00:21:35,477 --> 00:21:38,411
And I defy anybody to get it.
363
00:21:38,413 --> 00:21:41,514
And we'll accept
that challenge.
364
00:21:44,718 --> 00:21:46,351
Gosh, Chief O'Hara.
Glad to see you.
365
00:21:46,353 --> 00:21:49,654
Oh, that goes double for me,
Boy Wonder. That and Shamrocks.
366
00:21:49,656 --> 00:21:52,456
We got your call
from the Batmobile, Batman.
367
00:21:52,458 --> 00:21:54,724
But the whole city
has gone wild
368
00:21:54,726 --> 00:21:56,859
celebrating your arising
from the grave--
369
00:21:56,861 --> 00:21:59,294
A waste of the citizen's time
370
00:21:59,296 --> 00:22:01,863
energy and money, Chief O'Hara.
371
00:22:01,865 --> 00:22:02,897
Where's Commissioner Gordon?
372
00:22:02,899 --> 00:22:04,765
He caught the girl
at the bottom.
373
00:22:04,767 --> 00:22:07,734
And he's taking her in
to book her as an accessory.
374
00:22:07,736 --> 00:22:10,503
Good, then you
can take over here.
375
00:22:10,505 --> 00:22:12,471
Yes, my pleasure.
376
00:22:17,777 --> 00:22:19,844
Holy multitudes!
377
00:22:20,679 --> 00:22:22,746
[crowd cheering]
378
00:22:23,881 --> 00:22:26,582
Well? Well?
379
00:22:28,084 --> 00:22:30,752
After you, old chum.
380
00:22:38,627 --> 00:22:42,563
Now that the tumult
and the shouting have died down
381
00:22:42,565 --> 00:22:46,500
and the captains
and the kings have departed.
382
00:22:46,502 --> 00:22:49,402
- I have a question.
- Yes, Aunt Harriet.
383
00:22:49,404 --> 00:22:52,371
How did you know
without a shadow of a doubt
384
00:22:52,373 --> 00:22:54,740
that Batman
and Robin were alive?
385
00:22:54,742 --> 00:22:57,909
When the whole world
thought they were dead?
386
00:22:58,043 --> 00:23:00,110
Yes. Well...I...um..
387
00:23:00,112 --> 00:23:04,114
Or you, Dick.
You were equally emphatic.
388
00:23:04,116 --> 00:23:07,383
Well, Aunt Harriet,
you see, I..
389
00:23:07,385 --> 00:23:09,752
I know you don't want me
to divulge the secret
390
00:23:09,754 --> 00:23:13,622
but I think the time has come
to tell Mrs. Coop--
391
00:23:13,624 --> 00:23:14,556
No. No, Alfred.
392
00:23:14,558 --> 00:23:18,359
Yes, sir.
To tell Mrs. Cooper the truth.
393
00:23:18,361 --> 00:23:19,860
Alfred.
394
00:23:19,862 --> 00:23:21,528
It is I who told
them, madam.
395
00:23:21,530 --> 00:23:23,630
You, Alfred?
How did you know?
396
00:23:23,632 --> 00:23:28,034
Mordy, the cleaning woman
at the Atomic Energy Laboratory
397
00:23:28,036 --> 00:23:30,036
is my cousin Egbert's wife.
398
00:23:30,038 --> 00:23:32,605
And Mordy has always been
sadly given to
399
00:23:32,607 --> 00:23:34,807
shall we say...exaggeration.
400
00:23:34,809 --> 00:23:39,578
But Professor Overbeck himself
substantiated her story.
401
00:23:39,580 --> 00:23:43,381
Just protecting
a bewildered employee, madam.
402
00:23:43,648 --> 00:23:45,615
So that's all it was.
403
00:23:45,617 --> 00:23:49,719
An idle rumor
that shook the world.
404
00:23:50,153 --> 00:23:52,387
Well, perhaps
it's just as well.
405
00:23:52,389 --> 00:23:56,457
At least Batman and Robin,
wherever they are..
406
00:23:56,459 --> 00:24:01,395
(in unison)
And whoever they are beneath
those masks they wear.
407
00:24:01,397 --> 00:24:04,998
...must know
with what esteem they are held.
408
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:10,536
In the hearts of all
the people on this earth.
409
00:24:13,506 --> 00:24:15,139
Next week,
a Batman special.
410
00:24:15,141 --> 00:24:18,509
The first installment of an
action-packed three-parter
411
00:24:18,511 --> 00:24:20,110
in which the Joker
and the Penguin
412
00:24:20,112 --> 00:24:21,945
team up against
the Caped Crusaders.
413
00:24:21,947 --> 00:24:25,048
Don't miss the start
of the hostilities, Bat-fans.
414
00:24:25,050 --> 00:24:30,486
Next week, same Bat-time,
same Bat-channel.
415
00:24:32,722 --> 00:24:34,989
