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.

That weaselly Zarbor

got away with a fortune in nuclear plants

and left us sitting here with these two Dynamic Dummies.

Well, I'm no sap.

I'll follow him all the way to Ergo, if I have to.

I'm going with you.

I don't like being double-crossed either.

I do not trust you guys.

I am going, too.

I don't trust any of you. Count me in.

I'd like to get my hands on those four clowns.

Uh-oh!

I think Clayface overdid it with that machine.

Holy blown fuse. Terrific.

And try to find a repairman at this time of night.

They sure have been gone a long time.

Maybe Zarbor's captured 'em, and they need my help.

Nah. They're all right.

They are in trouble. I can feel it in my bones.

Hang in there, Caped Crusaders. Help is on the way!

Hiya, Caped Crusaders.

Uh-oh.

Unless I'm mistaken,

one of us is in big trouble.

We're all in trouble, Bat-Mite,

unless you can shut off that machine before it blows.

Huh?

No sweat, guys.

This is easier than one, two, three.

Or maybe four, five, six.

There you go. No more problems. No more worries.

And no more Batman and Robin. What have I done?

Wow!

Where on Earth are we?

Earth has nothing to do with this place, Robin.

We must be in Zarbor's dimension now.

Well, at least it seems peaceful here.

But I doubt if it's going to stay that way,

once Zarbor puts his fiendish plan into action.

Yipes.

Robin.

Hey, let go. Put me down.

Hang on, Boy Wonder.

Batman, behind you.

Holy Venus flytrap.

Thanks, Batman.

That dippy daffodil was about to have me for dinner.

Let's get outta here before they work up an appetite for dessert.

Holy high rises! Look.

What a fantastic city.

And I'll bet we find Zarbor and the power plants somewhere inside.

I know we'll find The Penguin and the others.

- There they go. - Come on, Robin.

Ah! It's good to be home.

And it's going to get steadily better.

Come here, Chug.

Coming.

Coming.

Chug, I have a little job for you.

Not again.

Take this to the tiptop of our climate dome

and leave it there.

But, Zarbor,

I'm so tired.

There's an energy shortage. Don't you remember?

I know, I know. But soon you'll have energy to burn.

Now, hurry. Shoo!

Promises, promises.

Now for step two of my brilliant plan.

Your attention, please.

Your attention, please.

That's Zarbor.

The little weasel. Where is he? Let me at him.

I have first crack at the little scoundrel.

That's a laugh.

When we find him, he's mine.

Attention, citizens of Ergo.

As you are aware, Ergo's energy sources have long been exhausted.

Our magnificent city is now lit by candles.

But I, Zarbor,

can provide you with all the power you will ever need.

Watch closely.

And now for the best part.

Power. Oodles and oodles of power.

The little bum's using our energy.

Without paying us our cut.

Then why are we standing here?

The quicker we find him, the quicker we collect.

She's absolutely right.

Onward.

Looks like we got here just in time, Robin.

Yeah, but holy bunions, Batman.

It's gonna take a lot of walking to find our host.

Why walk when we could ride?

All right.

What do you know?

All of a sudden, I feel powerful!

My friends,

all this power can be yours if…

If you make me your new king.

Otherwise…

So, citizens of Ergo, the decision is yours.

Make me your king,

or live forever in darkness.

You have one hour to decide.

You'll have a lot less time than that, Zarbor.

Yeah, we want what we've got coming, and we want it now.

Of course I'll give you what you have coming.

Oh, no, you don't, Zarbor.

A mirrored parasol.

Very clever.

Thank you. I thought so.

But not clever enough.

Wow.

What's that.

Now you can watch a true genius at work.

Who knows?

You may even learn something.

I've gotta figure out where Batman and Robin went.

Maybe it was one of these buttons I pushed.

Let's see. "Vertical." Hey, what's this?

"Made in Ergo."

Made in Ergo? That's where I'm from.

Ah-ha! And that's the dimension Zarbor's from, too.

Uh-oh!

This is worse than I thought.

Holy repair service, Batman.

That's the first machine we've seen working

since the power blackout.

You're right, Robin,

and I'll bet it's getting its power from Zarbor.

I'll tail him.

Robin, wait.

Halt!

You are under arrest.

We have heard reports of earthlings helping Zarbor,

and now we have caught one.

I will shortly be proclaimed ruler of all Ergo.

And then I will decide the fate of you fools.

Now, tell us where we can find Zarbor.

Believe me, I wish I knew.

So, there you are.

Thank goodness I found you.

Bat-Mite, do you know this earthling?

Are you kiddin', commander?

This is Batman.

The Batman.

And I want Zarbor as badly as you do, commander.

The power plants he's stolen from my world

must be returned soon.

There are people there whose lives depend on it.

Plus, I'm afraid Zarbor has captured my partner, Robin.

Yikes! Poor Robbie.

Then we must search the entire city until we find Zarbor and your friend.

I think we just found them, Commander.

Zarbor must have removed Robin's utility belt

and set off the auto-alarm.

It's transmitting from that tower.

Zarbor, we're being surrounded by police

and a caped earthling.

Batman.

Tough cookies, Zarbor.

It sounds like you're outnumbered now.

On the contrary, Robin.

I've planned a sneak attack of my own.

By channeling the power from my nuclear plant

into this warehouse of useless robots,

I have an unbeatable army at my command.

Now, my silver soldiers,

forward march!

Now me, Zarbor. Now me.

I get a shot of that energy, too, remember?

- Remember? - Go away, Chug.

I no longer have need for you.

But… But Zarbor…

you promised.

All right, Zarbor, come on out.

We have you surrounded.

You have me surrounded?

Don't be absurd.

Look behind you.

Disperse and take cover. On the double.

Bat-Mite, it looks like it's up to you to stop those robots.

- Me? - Right.

Only you can dematerialize and get inside Zarbor's lab.

Then you can shut off the power.

But-But-But-But-But…

Bat-Mite, there's no time to argue.

Who's arguing? I'm pleading for my life.

On second thought, I may be safer in there than out here.

That's the spirit.

Hey, no fair. Let me out of here!

Get the tall one with the cape.

No one escapes my traps, Batman.

Want to bet, Zarbor?

What? How did you—

I might have known.

Your little assistant is no fool,

and neither are we.

Precisely.

And henceforth, we shall be giving the orders here.

Not if I can help it.

Somebody do somethin'. We can't let Zarbor get away.

Excuse me, gentlemen,

but our escape vehicle is waiting.

Excellent, Chug, excellent.

Everyone in. I'll drive.

Cut the comedy, Catwoman.

I'll drive.

You will drive us all crazy.

I shall take the wheel.

I'll drive.

An excellent idea.

I'll buy that.

Quick, Robin, where's the main power switch?

There. The yellow lever.

Hooray for Batman!

And a special hurray for flagpoles.

Steady on course, commander.

There's a concentrated energy source ahead.

Then Zarbor must be hiding in Astroland.

Astroland?

It's the biggest amusement park in the whole galaxy,

but it's been deserted for years because the energy shortage.

Well, there's certainly no energy shortage there now.

They want their power,

I'll give them their power.

There it is. There's the place.

Clayface, steer us around to the back.

We'll take Zarbor by surprise.

That's what she thinks.

Look out.

I love it. I love it.

I hate spiders.

Batman, there goes our quarreling quartet of baddies.

And they seem to be in trouble.

Hang on, the controls aren't working.

Neither is my heart.

Bat-nets ready, Robin.

Commander, full speed ahead.

As much as it pains me to say this, Batman.

Well done.

I kinda thought you'd like it, Penguin.

Come on out, Zarbor.

Don't you realize you're totally outclassed?

He's right, Caped Crusaders.

He has powers you never dreamed of.

And even if you caught him, you could never hold him.

Oh, yes, we can.

These special handcuffs will rob Zarbor of all his powers.

All we have to do now is find him.

Relax, guys. I'll handle this one.

You will?

You're not scared?

Scared? To go looking for that show-off? Heck, no.

Of course, if I find him, that's a different story.

I suppose I'll just have to cut you down to size, Bat-Mite.

Help, Batman.

Anybody else care to challenge my powers?

He isn't kidding, Batman.

Bat-Mite.

Quick, get outta here before he shrinks you all!

I have a better idea.

Commander, we're going to need your handcuffs.

Here I am, Zarbor.

And I'm challenging your powers.

You're an even bigger fool than I thought.

But I'll soon change that.

Over here, Zarbor.

You're making me very angry.

Then let's wrap this thing up.

What?

My powers.

You've stolen my powers!

Just returning the favor, Zarbor.

It's too bad you didn't use your powers to help your people.

He did help us, Batman.

The moment he turned the power on,

our scientists put the computers to work,

and they were able to make blueprints of the nuclear plants.

Our first plant should be completed within the week.

All right.

That's good news, commander.

We wish you and your people well.

Now, Bat-Mite, can you shrink the power plants once more,

so we can transmit them back to Earth?

Piece of cake, Batman.

Fantastic, Bat-Mite.

You ought to get a medal for this.

Right now, Robbie, I'd settle for a safety pin.

Bat-message!

Well, Robin, we won't be having any more problems

from these power-pilferers.

Hey, Caped Crusaders. How do you like my new costume?

It's dirt-proof, wrinkle-proof, rip-proof and best of all,

it'll never shrink.

Is there anything it won't do?

Yeah. It won't bend.

Uh-oh!
