It baffles me completely.

There's something funny about
these counterfeits commissioner
17
00:01:04,754 --> 00:01:05,586
have you noticed?
18
00:01:05,588 --> 00:01:09,623
They're blank on one side and
completely genuine on the other.
19
00:01:09,625 --> 00:01:10,223
Exactly.
20
00:01:10,225 --> 00:01:12,058
It's almost as if some
deranged mind
21
00:01:12,060 --> 00:01:14,693
were trying to taunt
our very sanity.

- Nowhere.

And yet...everywhere.

a terrible feeling

00:01:29,808 --> 00:01:31,440
we've heard
this laughter before.
28
00:01:31,442 --> 00:01:36,111

It all fits perfectly.

Oh, you must be jesting, Dick.
35
00:01:58,598 --> 00:01:59,830
Economics dull?
36
00:01:59,832 --> 00:02:03,133
The glamor,
the romance of commerce. Hm.
37
00:02:03,135 --> 00:02:06,202
It's the very lifeblood
of our country's society.
38
00:02:06,204 --> 00:02:10,105
Frankly, I can think of nothing
more stimulating than economics
39
00:02:10,107 --> 00:02:10,672
and commerce and..

00:02:10,674 --> 00:02:12,573

the good woman
112

handed out by a bank.

- But where, Batman?

always best, commissioner.

greatest of caution, Mr. Flamm.

Impossible, I say!
162
00:08:40,252 --> 00:08:41,985
Just answer me the question.

Except of course,
our Chief Teller.
170
00:09:01,535 --> 00:09:04,068
He went off for a sandwich
at noon and didn't return.
171

I'm pleased to say, Mr. Glee.

00:09:34,861 --> 00:09:35,593
Holy precision!
183
00:09:35,595 --> 00:09:39,930
A deep precise to
an almost inhuman degree.
184
00:09:39,932 --> 00:09:42,599
Something weird
about his collar button too.
185
00:09:42,601 --> 00:09:45,602
Good for you, Robin.
I wondered if you'd noticed.
186
00:09:45,604 --> 00:09:49,339
Now, if my strange
hunch is right.
187
00:09:52,810 --> 00:09:55,144
Good afternoon, Mr. Glee.
188
00:09:55,146 --> 00:09:56,845
I'm Batman.
189
00:09:57,179 --> 00:09:59,613
Obviously, sir.
190
00:10:00,982 --> 00:10:04,884
I have been admiring
your collar button.
191
00:10:05,752 --> 00:10:06,318
[Joker screams]
192
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,955
That filthy bat
creature touched the lens.
193
00:10:13,024 --> 00:10:14,924
Tell me, Mr. Glee.
194
00:10:14,926 --> 00:10:15,791
Why is the collar button
195
00:10:15,793 --> 00:10:19,161
like an old pile of burning
automobile tires?
196
00:10:19,295 --> 00:10:22,096
Answer.
Because they both choke?
197
00:10:24,299 --> 00:10:27,701
[intense music]
198
00:10:29,704 --> 00:10:33,773
Holy clockworks!
A mechanical marvel!
199
00:10:35,208 --> 00:10:37,676
I'm-I'm flabbergasted, Batman!
200
00:10:37,678 --> 00:10:40,712
How on Earth did you
know that was a robot?
201
00:10:40,714 --> 00:10:42,113
Simple, Mr. Flamm.
202
00:10:42,115 --> 00:10:45,950
Even the most infallible
robots have one defect.
203
00:10:45,952 --> 00:10:47,117
They've no sense of humor.
204
00:10:47,119 --> 00:10:48,918
Batman told him
a super-funny joke.
205
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,854
When the creature didn't
laugh, that was proof!
206
00:10:51,856 --> 00:10:53,188
Well, you wretched ruin.
207
00:10:53,190 --> 00:10:57,125
I guess, we'll take you
back to the Batcave.
208
00:10:59,695 --> 00:11:00,695
One last warning, Mr. Flamm
209
00:11:00,697 --> 00:11:03,831
the next time your Chief Teller
goes out for a sandwich
210
00:11:03,833 --> 00:11:07,034
and sends a stranger back
in his place
211
00:11:07,036 --> 00:11:09,736
scrutinize him carefully.
212
00:11:09,738 --> 00:11:11,304
I'm sure I speak
for the chairman
213
00:11:11,306 --> 00:11:12,872
of the board
millionaire Bruce Wayne.
214
00:11:12,874 --> 00:11:17,409
In saying that you owe
that to all of your depositors.
215
00:11:18,878 --> 00:11:20,979
Good day, citizens.
216
00:11:20,981 --> 00:11:22,814
[crowd applauding]
217
00:11:28,420 --> 00:11:29,720
Oh! Eureka! Look..
218
00:11:29,722 --> 00:11:34,324
...Mr. Glee's receiver signal
is coming in as planned.
219
00:11:35,292 --> 00:11:35,991
The Batmobile!
220
00:11:35,993 --> 00:11:40,195
Oh, yes, my sweet,
with Mr. Glee in the trunk.
221
00:11:40,197 --> 00:11:41,296
[laughs]
222
00:11:41,298 --> 00:11:42,163
We'll give pursuit.
223
00:11:42,165 --> 00:11:46,333
We'll find the Batcave.
Quick to the Jokemobile.
224
00:11:49,170 --> 00:11:50,136
[crowd chattering]
225
00:11:50,138 --> 00:11:53,005
Clear the way, you nasty people.
Clear the way, please.
226
00:11:53,007 --> 00:11:55,674
Clear the way,
you nasty people.
227
00:11:55,676 --> 00:11:57,676
[Joker laughing]
228
00:11:58,844 --> 00:12:01,745
[indistinct chattering]
229
00:12:02,046 --> 00:12:06,149
Oh, turn on
the portable robot retriever.
230
00:12:06,783 --> 00:12:08,283
Pick up the signal.
231
00:12:08,285 --> 00:12:10,251
(Josie)
'Left on Mulberry.'
232
00:12:10,253 --> 00:12:13,954
Tally-ho! Whoo.
What a bat-hunt!
233
00:12:13,956 --> 00:12:16,456
[crowd cheering]
234
00:12:17,958 --> 00:12:21,060
[Joker laughing]
235
00:12:23,163 --> 00:12:25,464
[tire screeching]
236
00:12:29,335 --> 00:12:31,836
[bell rings]
237
00:12:35,373 --> 00:12:37,273
Holy hunting horn!
That's a tracking signal.
238
00:12:37,275 --> 00:12:39,141
Obviously, there's
a tiny transmitter
239
00:12:39,143 --> 00:12:41,176
built into that robot
in the truck.
240
00:12:41,178 --> 00:12:44,045
You mean, you knew
we were being followed?
241
00:12:44,047 --> 00:12:44,445
Oh, yes.
242
00:12:44,447 --> 00:12:46,713
What do we, Batman?
Lure them into an ambush?
243
00:12:46,715 --> 00:12:50,049
- Bash them with our batarangs?
- No, I have a better notion.
244
00:12:50,051 --> 00:12:54,486
Of course. We'll activate
our trusty Bat-deflector.
245
00:12:54,820 --> 00:12:56,754
Right again, Robin.
246
00:12:56,756 --> 00:12:58,722
Turn it on.
247
00:12:58,889 --> 00:13:01,257
Bat-deflector activate.
248
00:13:01,958 --> 00:13:03,158
[tire screeching]
249
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,226
[honking]
250
00:13:05,228 --> 00:13:07,228
How's the retriever signal?
251
00:13:07,230 --> 00:13:09,363
Stronger than ever, Joker.
252
00:13:09,365 --> 00:13:10,931
Faster.
253
00:13:22,510 --> 00:13:24,277
[bell rings]
254
00:13:24,778 --> 00:13:25,744
Right turn.
255
00:13:25,746 --> 00:13:27,045
Strange, I don't see any road.
256
00:13:27,047 --> 00:13:30,782
Well, I can't help that, Joker.
The signal says right turn.
257
00:13:30,784 --> 00:13:33,785
Ooh, how humorous?
258
00:13:33,919 --> 00:13:37,154
Hold tight for
the bumpsy-daisy.
259
00:13:39,056 --> 00:13:40,956
[bell chimes]
260
00:13:40,958 --> 00:13:43,892
[hissing and sputtering]
261
00:13:44,026 --> 00:13:47,428
[Joker laughing]
262
00:13:49,931 --> 00:13:52,866
Ooh! Ooh, frabjous day.
263
00:13:52,868 --> 00:13:56,002
Moment every supercrook
has dreamed of.
264
00:13:56,004 --> 00:13:59,905
Look, we discover
the entrance to the Batcave.
265
00:13:59,907 --> 00:14:01,273
Which way from here, Joker?
266
00:14:01,275 --> 00:14:04,175
Oh, must be around
that little hill.
267
00:14:04,177 --> 00:14:05,976
- Get the gas grenades.
- Roger.
268
00:14:05,978 --> 00:14:08,178
Oh, we'll gas 'em
out of the cave
269
00:14:08,180 --> 00:14:11,014
and get them
when they come out.
270
00:14:11,016 --> 00:14:15,418
Death to the blundering bats.
Tally-ho!
271
00:14:18,355 --> 00:14:19,288
What's the matter?
272
00:14:19,290 --> 00:14:23,792
Bizarre. The signal says
the Batcave is here.
273
00:14:25,060 --> 00:14:28,529
Look, we've been out-tricked.
274
00:14:34,369 --> 00:14:37,337
"Laugh, criminals, laugh."
275
00:14:37,471 --> 00:14:40,473
[screaming]
276
00:14:43,009 --> 00:14:43,975
I'll have it!
277
00:14:43,977 --> 00:14:48,312
By all the saints of
wicked mirth, I'll have it!
278
00:14:48,314 --> 00:14:52,449
The last laugh
will still be mine!
279
00:14:59,890 --> 00:15:02,191
[intense music]
280
00:15:02,193 --> 00:15:07,262
I regret to say,
no unusual indications.
281
00:15:07,496 --> 00:15:10,364
We're dealing with
a perfectly normal robot.
282
00:15:10,366 --> 00:15:13,533
Holy dead end! Not a clue
to where it came from.
283
00:15:13,535 --> 00:15:15,067
Excusing the intrusion, sir
284
00:15:15,069 --> 00:15:18,570
but might I point out an oddity
in this automaton's attire.
285
00:15:18,572 --> 00:15:20,204
By all means, Alfred.
286
00:15:20,206 --> 00:15:21,038
This sleeve, sir.
287
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,307
Now to my practiced eye...
it would appear
288
00:15:24,309 --> 00:15:27,910
that it has been pressed
by a most uncommon pressure.
289
00:15:27,912 --> 00:15:29,444
He's right, Batman, look.
290
00:15:29,446 --> 00:15:32,213
The buttons are pushed
almost through the back.
291
00:15:32,215 --> 00:15:33,147
And here, sir.
292
00:15:33,149 --> 00:15:38,085
I clearly detect traces
of multicolored...spots
293
00:15:38,087 --> 00:15:41,555
which have been frequently,
but clumsily, sponged.
294
00:15:41,557 --> 00:15:42,489
Congratulations, Alfred.
295
00:15:42,491 --> 00:15:45,458
Your keen sartorial sense
has done it again.
296
00:15:45,460 --> 00:15:46,292
Thank you, sir.
297
00:15:46,294 --> 00:15:47,960
Robin, warm up
the Bat-spot analyzer
298
00:15:47,962 --> 00:15:51,563
while I take a sample
of this affected cloth.
299
00:15:51,565 --> 00:15:53,064
Roger.
300
00:15:53,198 --> 00:15:57,401
I'll just snip right
through here, Alfred.
301
00:15:58,436 --> 00:16:01,504
Bat-spot analyzer
ready to go, Batman.
302
00:16:01,638 --> 00:16:03,305
Roger.
303
00:16:04,907 --> 00:16:09,277
Now, let's keep our
fingers crossed, Robin.
304
00:16:11,113 --> 00:16:12,279
[machine dings]
305
00:16:12,281 --> 00:16:14,481
- Mm-hmm.
- What is it, Batman?
306
00:16:14,483 --> 00:16:18,485
Those curious spots, they're
minute traces of printer's ink.
307
00:16:18,487 --> 00:16:22,121
Of course, used by Joker
in his counterfeiting operation.
308
00:16:22,123 --> 00:16:25,324
Exactly, transferred to the
cloth when that cheapskate
309
00:16:25,326 --> 00:16:29,261
pressed his robot's wear
in his printing press.
310
00:16:29,263 --> 00:16:32,564
Bless my steam iron,
how revolting?
311
00:16:32,566 --> 00:16:35,667
Revolting indeed, Alfred.
312
00:16:35,669 --> 00:16:38,336
Like the colors of these inks.
313
00:16:38,338 --> 00:16:43,908
Arsenic green,
rotten apple red..
314
00:16:43,910 --> 00:16:44,942
...bilious blue.
315
00:16:44,944 --> 00:16:49,546
I believe there is just one sort
of legitimate printing firm
316
00:16:49,548 --> 00:16:52,115
that would employ such use.
317
00:16:52,117 --> 00:16:54,117
A firm that prints comic books.
318
00:16:54,119 --> 00:16:55,051
Right again, Robin.
319
00:16:55,053 --> 00:16:56,585
Now to check our
business index machine
320
00:16:56,587 --> 00:17:01,289
to see if any such firm
has recently changed hands.
321
00:17:02,224 --> 00:17:03,958
[machine dings]
322
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,028
Penthouse Publishers
sold one week ago
323
00:17:08,030 --> 00:17:11,464
to a certain
Mr. W.C. Whiteface.
324
00:17:11,466 --> 00:17:14,099
Whiteface?
Joker!
325
00:17:14,101 --> 00:17:16,434
More than possible, Robin.
326
00:17:16,436 --> 00:17:17,668
Too bad we have no proof.
327
00:17:17,670 --> 00:17:21,238
Dear me, yes. And if you were
to pounce on the blighter
328
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:25,375
you lay yourself open to a most
damaging suit for false arrest.
329
00:17:25,377 --> 00:17:27,677
Gosh! He's got us buffaloed.
330
00:17:27,679 --> 00:17:29,445
Not quite, Robin.
331
00:17:29,713 --> 00:17:33,782
I've a plan to get...that proof.
332
00:17:33,784 --> 00:17:35,416
Listen.
333
00:17:35,418 --> 00:17:37,584
Here's what we will do.
334
00:17:43,657 --> 00:17:45,190
[frustrated groaning]
335
00:17:45,192 --> 00:17:45,823
Infuriating.
336
00:17:45,825 --> 00:17:48,625
Here, I am on the brink
of the greatest
337
00:17:48,627 --> 00:17:50,159
caper in criminal history
338
00:17:50,161 --> 00:17:54,396
and the dynamic duo
still at large.
339
00:17:54,398 --> 00:17:57,332
[bell rings]
340
00:18:02,538 --> 00:18:03,504
I must be dreaming.
341
00:18:03,506 --> 00:18:05,572
It's look like
millionaire Bruce Wayne.
342
00:18:05,574 --> 00:18:06,839
- What?
- I'm sure of it, Joker.
343
00:18:06,841 --> 00:18:11,076
I've seen his picture in
the paper hundreds of times.
344
00:18:12,344 --> 00:18:15,446
Robots, amber alert.
345
00:18:24,789 --> 00:18:29,092
I'm ruined...bankrupt..
346
00:18:29,259 --> 00:18:31,093
...wiped out.
347
00:18:31,661 --> 00:18:34,362
There's only one more chance.
348
00:18:34,563 --> 00:18:38,299
Oh, excuse me, Mr. Whiteface.
I fail to introduce myself.
349
00:18:38,301 --> 00:18:41,335
- I'm Mr. Bruce Wayne.
- Oh, at your service, sir.
350
00:18:41,337 --> 00:18:44,404
Thank you.
How do you do?
351
00:18:46,140 --> 00:18:51,244
I hardly...dare ask it,
Mr. Whiteface
352
00:18:51,246 --> 00:18:56,649
but do you know anyone
who could print me up..
353
00:18:56,651 --> 00:19:00,285
...a batch of
counterfeit currency?
354
00:19:00,287 --> 00:19:03,254
Ooh, what a curious request
to make
355
00:19:03,256 --> 00:19:06,390
of a legitimate businessman
such as myself.
356
00:19:06,392 --> 00:19:09,860
Yes, I know.
It does seem a bit odd.
357
00:19:10,428 --> 00:19:11,261
But you see
358
00:19:11,263 --> 00:19:15,698
I foolishly succumbed to the
temptation of speculation
359
00:19:15,700 --> 00:19:17,733
'with the funds
of the Wayne foundation'
360
00:19:17,735 --> 00:19:20,202
'The results were catastrophic.'
361
00:19:20,204 --> 00:19:22,704
'Tomorrow is
the annual accounting.'
362
00:19:22,706 --> 00:19:28,509
And if I don't have
one million dollars in cash..
363
00:19:28,511 --> 00:19:32,513
...I will be headed
up the river..
364
00:19:32,515 --> 00:19:33,714
without a paddle.
365
00:19:33,716 --> 00:19:38,685
Well, uh, very interesting,
Mr. Wayne, but uh..
366
00:19:38,687 --> 00:19:39,919
...why do you come to me?
367
00:19:39,921 --> 00:19:44,423
I chanced to be thumbing
through one of the comic books
368
00:19:44,425 --> 00:19:47,292
that you publish,
and it struck my eye
369
00:19:47,294 --> 00:19:52,297
that the inks that you use
are identical to the inks
370
00:19:52,299 --> 00:19:56,834
used by the
United States treasury.
371
00:19:58,736 --> 00:20:00,470
What do you think, sweet Josie?
372
00:20:00,472 --> 00:20:02,438
- Smells like a trap, Joker.
- Indeed.
373
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,275
On the other hand, the fellow's
tale is so utterly absurd
374
00:20:06,277 --> 00:20:08,443
that it could be true.
375
00:20:09,378 --> 00:20:12,780
Uh...just for fun,
Mr-Mr. Wayne..
376
00:20:12,782 --> 00:20:16,450
...supposing I did
provide you with this, uh
377
00:20:16,452 --> 00:20:18,652
whimsical funny money..
378
00:20:18,654 --> 00:20:19,352
[laughing]
379
00:20:19,354 --> 00:20:22,488
...uh, just what
would be in it for me?
380
00:20:22,490 --> 00:20:26,258
I would be happy
to appoint you vice-chairman
381
00:20:26,260 --> 00:20:28,627
'of The Gotham National Bank.'
382
00:20:28,629 --> 00:20:30,228
Oh, dear me, yes.
383
00:20:30,230 --> 00:20:33,731
Oh, that does appeal to my
notorious sense of humor.
384
00:20:33,733 --> 00:20:37,835
Ooh, vice-chairman of the board
of the Gotham National Bank!
385
00:20:37,837 --> 00:20:38,635
Ooh!
386
00:20:38,637 --> 00:20:40,236
[laughing maniacally]
387
00:20:40,238 --> 00:20:41,604
Yes! Ooh!
388
00:20:41,606 --> 00:20:45,307
I have here a personally
signed document..
389
00:20:45,309 --> 00:20:47,942
...appointing you
to the position
390
00:20:47,944 --> 00:20:50,778
'I previously mentioned.'
391
00:20:50,945 --> 00:20:52,512
But, before I give it to you
392
00:20:52,514 --> 00:20:56,983
I require proof that
you'll deliver your end
393
00:20:56,985 --> 00:20:59,719
of this unhappy bargain.
394
00:20:59,853 --> 00:21:01,286
Proof?
395
00:21:01,288 --> 00:21:01,853
To wit.
396
00:21:01,855 --> 00:21:05,556
You get the document
after you run off a sample
397
00:21:05,558 --> 00:21:10,360
of counterfeit
on your press over there.
398
00:21:10,362 --> 00:21:11,961
[intense music]
399
00:21:16,866 --> 00:21:21,769
Josie, ink the rollers.
I'll get the paper!
400
00:21:21,771 --> 00:21:22,669
Yes.
401
00:21:22,671 --> 00:21:25,605
[laughing maniacally]
402
00:21:30,978 --> 00:21:32,912
[transmitter beeps]
403
00:21:33,980 --> 00:21:37,482
- Ready to roll!
- Bingo!
404
00:21:42,521 --> 00:21:43,420
Hold it, Joker!
405
00:21:43,422 --> 00:21:44,988
You're under arrest!
406
00:21:48,025 --> 00:21:48,691
Great Scott!
407
00:21:48,693 --> 00:21:52,261
It's the junior half
of the Dynamic Duo.
408
00:21:52,762 --> 00:21:53,528
Robin to Batman.
409
00:21:53,530 --> 00:21:55,396
'While on a routine
anti-crime patrol'
410
00:21:55,398 --> 00:21:58,899
'I've caught the joker.
He's plotting with Bruce Wayne.'
411
00:21:58,901 --> 00:22:00,333
Situation under control.
412
00:22:00,335 --> 00:22:03,803
No need for you to leave
the Batcave, over and out.
413
00:22:03,805 --> 00:22:06,605
Is that so, Boy Wonder?
414
00:22:08,407 --> 00:22:12,676
Robots, give him
a whimsical whammy!
415
00:22:14,412 --> 00:22:16,346

417
00:22:46,975 --> 00:22:49,910
Oh, things look grim
for our side, Mr. Whiteface.
418
00:22:49,912 --> 00:22:53,013
Perhaps I should
lend them a hand.
419
00:22:55,616 --> 00:22:58,985
You idiot. You're only
getting in the way.
420
00:23:15,502 --> 00:23:17,469
[Joker laughing]
421
00:23:18,604 --> 00:23:19,704
Oh, how delicious!
422
00:23:19,706 --> 00:23:24,575
The Boy Wonder about to be
pressed flat into a comic book.
423
00:23:25,076 --> 00:23:26,810
Observe.
424
00:23:47,998 --> 00:23:49,798
Mr. Whiteface, this is murder.
425
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,800
Well, how true, Mr. Wayne.
426
00:23:51,802 --> 00:23:55,436
Yes, and just to ensure
against a double-cross
427
00:23:55,438 --> 00:23:57,905
you will perform it.
428
00:23:57,907 --> 00:23:58,739
Never.
429
00:23:58,741 --> 00:24:01,475
Boff, Yock, seize him.
430
00:24:01,477 --> 00:24:05,445
Yes, force his hand
on the lever.
431
00:24:05,447 --> 00:24:08,915
Gosh, what an ugly
twist of fate.
432
00:24:08,917 --> 00:24:11,450
Indignity of indignities!
433
00:24:11,452 --> 00:24:15,053
Robin printed
into a comic book!
434
00:24:15,788 --> 00:24:19,924
Bruce Wayne,
his old chum's killer?
435
00:24:20,058 --> 00:24:23,860
For the crushing finale,
tune in tomorrow!
436
00:24:23,862 --> 00:24:28,898
Same Bat-time,
Same Bat-channel!
