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.

Ride with us as we chase the greatest array of villains

the world has ever seen,

proving that crime does not pay.

Get set for thrills and action.

Join me, Batman.

And me, Robin, the Boy Wonder.

And Batgirl.

And me too, Bat-Mite.

In the super New Adventures of…

… Batman.

Hold it. Just put that back and stay where you are.

Security, this is Ryan.

Red alert. Red alert.

There he goes.

Security, we've spotted him.

He's trapped in the main hall.

Give it up, buddy.

There's no way out.

That's what you think. Look.

But that door weighs…

two tons.

Keep away.

For Pete's sakes, warn me next time you stop that fast.

I didn't stop.

He's gone. And the chief's never gonna believe this.

Can you blame him?

I don't believe it either.

Five, four, three…

two, one…

ignition.

It works, Bruce. It works.

Liftoff.

Runaway rockets! It's out of control!

Hey! How am I supposed to take a nap with all this…

I'm sorry, Scott.

I guess I forgot to read all of the directions.

Everything's cool, little buddy.

I needed something to wake me up.

Ah. I must be the sleepiest houseguest you two guys ever had.

You're probably still recovering from your last mission.

Yeah. Being the first astronaut to solo to the Moon and back

has gotta take a lot out of you.

Well, it was easy compared to all these public appearances

I'm making now.

Ah, well, I guess being a famous and handsome astronaut

has its drawbacks.

Now there's the Scott Rogers I remember from college.

A swell guy with a swelled head.

Hey, listen, I have to run to another speaking engagement downtown,

but I'll see you guys later tonight, okay?

Sure thing.

Gosh, Bruce, they sure keep Scott busy.

He's not the only one. Look.

The Batsignal.

To the Batcave, Dick.

A fluorescent felon with magnetic mitts.

Sounds weird, Commissioner.

What's even weirder

is that the only thing he took from the entire museum

was this moon rock.

A moon rock?

The press is already calling him The Mysterious Moonman.

Well, they're right about one thing, Ms. Gordon,

he is mysterious.

We'll see how mysterious he is once he's in handcuffs.

We have to catch him first, Barbara.

We'll get the Bat-Computer working on it, Commissioner.

Busy, busy, busy, huh, guys?

Bat-Mite.

Listen. The Moonman's right down my alley,

me being from outer space myself.

So let's just erase what you've done so far and start over.

Oh, no, you little squirt.

What did I do? What did I do?

Nothing yet. And that's the way we wanna keep it.

Just sit tight,

and don't get too close.

Aw, Bat-baloney.

In conclusion, I say we are all space pioneers,

because we all share the responsibility

of how we deal with this newest frontier,

the Moon.

Scott, are you all right?

Yeah. Thanks, Barbara.

I just got a little clumsy for a minute.

You had me worried.

Ah, no sweat.

Just let me go freshen up, and I'll be a-okay.

Uh, that's astronaut talk.

Roger.

Holy overeating, Batman.

We've fed the computer every clue we have on the Moonman,

and it's still not enough.

Then we'll have to do our own computing for a while.

Think, Robin. Why would anyone with powers like the Moonman,

walk through an entire museum

and only take one moon rock?

Maybe he's a goon for the moon.

You know, a real lunar loony.

Bat-Mite, that's it.

You mean… It is?

I mean, of course it is. I guess.

Batman, suppose our thief is nuts about Moon objects.

Where would he strike next?

The new Moonride.

Hey, wait for me!

What's the big i…

Hey, for bat sakes. Slow down!

Can you beat that?

They almost forgot me,

the most important member

of the Dynamic Trio.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,

the Gotham City Fun Park is proud to present

its newest attraction…

the astounding, the colossal…

Moonride.

The only roller coaster in the world

with rails of actual moon metal.

Now, these lucky youngsters

get to be our very first customers.

Ready to go, Scott?

Scott?

He's gone.

Holy snail's pace, Batman.

We're still three miles from the Fun Park.

Let's hope we get there before the Moonman does, Robin.

Holy roller coasters.

We're too late.

There's only one thing to do.

Batgyros away.

Keep away.

Give her full throttle, Robin.

I'm giving it, Batman, I'm giving it.

But the engine's starting to overheat.

His magnetism's affecting my controls.

I shall return to the Moon

what is the Moon's.

She will not be robbed of her resources

as Earth has been.

That dastardly dude's getting away.

We'll have to forget him for now, Boy Wonder.

Lives are at stake.

Don't worry, I'll stop him.

Oh, no, you don't, you lunar loony.

Yipes!

Batman. There he goes.

See any sign of him, Robin?

There!

I'm gonna hit you.

Holy traffic jams!

There's only one thing to do

in a sticky situation like this…

unstick it.

Dynamic Duo.

Over here.

I was afraid of that.

The Moonman escaped.

Gordon here.

Barbara, are you still at the amphitheater?

Yes, Dad. Why?

The Moonman's struck again,

this time, at the Fun Park.

He's reported headed your way.

10-4. I'll keep my eyes open.

Scott.

Where have you been?

I, uh… went for a walk.

You know, to get some fresh air.

What did you walk on, your hands?

Huh?

Scott, are you sure you're feeling all right?

Believe me, Barbara, I'm fine.

I'm a big boy, and I can take care of myself, okay?

Okay, okay.

Can I drive you home?

I know the way.

Activate the voice analyzer, Robin.

Activated, Batman.

But whose voice are we analyzing?

The Moonman's.

What?

I managed to tape him with my minicorder.

Far out!

Now let's see if our computer can identify his voiceprint.

I shall return to the Moon

what is the Moon's.

She will not be robbed of her resources

as Earth has been.

If Scott won't talk to me…

maybe he'll talk to… Batgirl.

He shouldn't be too far ahead.

Something's happening to me.

I don't know what it is.

But maybe talking about it into this tape machine

will help me think it through.

I've never needed help on anything before,

and there's no reason I can't handle this by myself, too.

"Tough luck, Caped Crusader.

The Moonman's voice doesn't match any voiceprint

in our crime file."

But there's something about that voice, Robin.

Something familiar.

Batgirl calling Batman and Robin.

Batgirl. Zowee!

Let me talk to her. Let me talk to her.

Go ahead, Batgirl.

I just located Scott Rogers' car on Canyon Road.

But he's gone.

I'm worried about him, Batman.

Listen to this tape I found.

Something's happening to me.

I don't know what it is.

But maybe talking about it into this tape machine

will help me think it through.

Holy double identity.

The voice analyzer was still on,

and it's matched the Moonman's voice…

with Scott's.

Earthquake. Earthquake!

Batman. Robin.

Are you still there?

Just barely.

That was some quake.

The Bat-Computer reports an unknown force

pulling the Moon from its orbit.

Unless it's stopped,

the resulting earthquakes and tidal waves

will tear our world apart.

Holy catastrophes, Batman!

You don't think the Moonman…

I mean, Scott Rogers is…

That's exactly what I think, Robin.

He's pulling his biggest caper of all,

stealing the Moon itself.

We have to find Scott and stop him…

before it's too late!

Batgirl, I think we've located him.

Our magnetometer indicates heavy magnetic radiation

coming from the Gotham Observatory.

I'll meet you there.

Batman, there he is.

He's using that giant radio telescope

to focus his magnetic energy

and beam it at the Moon.

Scott, this is Batman.

Listen to me.

Hang on, Robin.

I can't control it.

Scott, no!

Please stop this.

You can't…

Batman, there's no way to get near him.

Batman, I humbly suggest we think of something,

and fast.

There's a tidal wave forming beyond Gotham Harbor.

And a waterspout.

Robin, remember Scott telling us about that comet

that shot past his space capsule

- when he was circling the Moon? - Yeah.

My guess is that comet exposed him to some kind of radiation

that, combined with moonlight,

changes him into the Moonman.

If that's true, cutting off his supply of moonlight

ought to restore him to normal.

But you can't just turn off the Moon.

Oh, yes, we can.

It's working.

What… what happened? Where am I?

Scott, you're the only person

who can save Earth from total destruction.

You must return the Moon to its orbit.

But I…

I… I can't.

As the Moonman, you can.

I'll help you.

What do you say, Scott?

Time's running out.

Okay, Batman.

I'll try.

No.

I cannot return the Moon.

- What? - It must be set free

from Earth's influence.

Scott, think.

What good is it to save the Moon if no one is left to look at it?

You're about to destroy the world.

But it is so hard,

and I'm so tired.

Don't give up.

You can do it.

The Moon is moving back again.

But the magnetometer shows that Scott's powers are fading.

So tired.

No energy.

Just a little more, Scott.

He did it.

And just as his powers failed for good.

Congratulations, Scott.

That took a lot of courage.

I couldn't have done it without your help.

How can I ever thank you all?

That's what friends are for.

I realize that now.

As for the Moonman's crimes,

I'm sure Commissioner Gordon will agree with me

that you have no worries.

Psst.

Is all the shaking and quaking over with?

Huh? Huh?

Relax, Bat-Mite.

Everything's cool.

Well, that's good, 'cause I was starting to get mad about it.

And when I get mad…

Earthquake.

Earthquake!

I think we've seen the last of Bat-Mite for a while.

And the last of the Moonman forever.

Amen.

Bat-message.

We sure had some problems with the Moonman tonight.

And they were problems that could have been solved much sooner

if only Scott Rogers had been willing to discuss what was bothering him.

We all have problems from time to time,

and it sure helps to talk them out with people we trust.

I've got a problem.

I can't swim.

Why is that a problem?

'Cause I can't fix leaks either.

Oh, no.
