[♪♪♪]

BATMAN: 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.

ROBIN: Ride with us as we chase the greatest array of villains

the world has ever seen,

proving that crime does not pay.

BATMAN: Get set for thrills and action.

Join me, Batman.

And me: Robin, the Boy Wonder.

And Batgirl.

And me too: Bat-Mite.

ROBIN: In the super New Adventures of--

BATMAN: Batman.

[♪♪♪]

[SIREN WAILING]

[♪♪♪]

MAN: Range, 1000 yards.

Heading north by northeast.

Start countdown.

Four,

three, two, one,

release!

[BEEPING]

[BEEPS]

Three down, Bo,

one to go.

[GIGGLES]

You did well, Sharktooth,

[OVER SPEAKER] now return to your home.

[♪♪♪]

The world is three-fifths water, Bo.

Whoever rules the water,

can rule the world.

[GIGGLES]

[GIBBERING]

[♪♪♪]

Now I've made an improvement, Robin.

This will change our radio frequency

and allow us to cover the CB band.

MAN 1 [OVER RADIO]: Breaker, breaker, this is Red Leader, anybody copy?

MAN 2: That's a big 10-4, old buddy. Do you see an eye in the sky?

Holy Marconi, that's really great!

Boy, if the man who invented radio could hear it now.

[RINGING]

Someone's entering the garage in the Batcave!

[BEEPING]

[CLUNKING]

It's Bat-Mite. Oh...

Maybe it's time we taught him a lesson?

You mean, like keeping off other people's property?

Exactly!

Jumpin' Jupiter, what's this all--?

Hello, Batman. Robin.

Robin, I think we caught an intruder.

Intruder? It's me, Bat-Mite.

Oh, come on, fellas, let me out, please?

Don't you know there's a law against trespassing?

[GULPS]

[PHONE BEEPING]

[OVER PHONE] Batman? This is Commissioner Gordon.

Yes, commissioner.

Would you come over to the office?

It's very important.

Robin and I are on our way.

Let's go, Robin. BAT-MITE: Hey, you can't leave me here,

you didn't read me my rights.

We'll "right" you when we get back.

I'm sorry I snuck in here without your permission.

Now that's more like it.

Thanks, Batman.

Now, what do you think the commissioner wants with us?

Us? Do you want to go back into that cage?

Okay, okay. If you feel that way.

Come on, Robin, to the Batmobile.

We'll see you later.

Sooner than you think, Batman.

[ENGINE STARTS]

GORDON: The ships were drones, like this one.

They were guided by radio.

They carried no people, but their cargo was priceless.

Each ship carried one part of this machine.

It's for the NATO forces.

Its code name:

Operation Sunspot.

BATMAN: What does this machine do?

It harnesses the energy from the sun.

In the right hands, it will be

a boon to mankind,

but in the wrong, disaster.

The ships disappeared in this area,

the Bermuda Rectangle.

And where is the fourth ship?

It left England this morning, Batman.

Nothing must happen to that ship.

I understand, commissioner.

Robin and I will leave immediately.

Good, I'll have Barbara check her computer

for the names of all persons

ever convicted of spying

or selling information to a foreign government.

And good luck.

This is a big job,

even for Batman.

You can be sure, Dad,

I'll give him all the help I can.

[♪♪♪]

[ENGINE REVVING]

[CLICKING]

The drone ship will pass Bermuda in six hours and 10 minutes.

Let's go.

Greetings.

Well, I'm ready.

Ready? For what?

Well, I kind of overheard,

Operation Sunspot.

We should have left you in the cage.

All right, you're coming with us.

We're taking him?

Commissioner said this was top-secret,

we can't let him run around loose.

Yahoo!

[PHONE BEEPING]

Yes, commissioner.

[OVER PHONE] This is Barbara.

I have some information,

I'll give it to you as soon as I change into Batgirl.

I want to go along.

Sorry, Barbara,

we don't need another passenger.

If my information is correct, you'll need all the help

you can get. [CLUNKING]

On second thought, maybe you should come along,

I will need all the help I can get.

All right, let's go.

This is one mission we must not fail!

[GIBBERING]

We must not fail, Bo,

and we won't.

Sharktooth is getting anxious.

[MAN GIGGLES]

Have patience, Sharktooth,

the ship will be here soon.

BATMAN: We're over the Bermuda Rectangle now.

I'll call the commissioner.

[BEEPING]

There's a plane up there.

Switch on the monitor.

Batman calling commissioner, this is Batman.

[OVER RADIO] Commissioner Gordon, this is Batman, do you read me?

Eh, it's Batman.

[OVER RADIO] This is Gordon, go ahead, Batman.

Commissioner, Barbara came up

with some interesting information.

GORDON: I've been looking for Barbara, do you know where she is?

I'm sure she'll be back soon.

She got an interesting readout from her crime computer.

Professor Bubbles escaped from prison last month.

[OVER RADIO] He was chief scientist on Operation Sunspot

until he was sent to jail for trying to steal the plans.

He might be at the bottom of this.

[LAUGHS]

I am at the bottom,

right underneath you, Batman.

Search the area and call me if you find out anything.

Commissioner out.

Batman out.

We must bring Batman down to us.

How do we do that?

By sending up some bait.

[LAUGHS]

[♪♪♪]

Look.

They've seen it.

Down scope.

[OVER SPEAKER] All right, Sharktooth,

bring it down, bring it down.

ROBIN: It's going down.

We've got to see what it is

before it disappears.

Fold back the wings, Robin.

Here come the Batsub.

BAT-MITE: Whee!

This really beats a roller coaster.

BATMAN: Robin, switch on the Bat-light.

There they are.

All right, Bo,

it's time for the maelstrom.

[GIGGLES]

Range, 100 yards.

Start rotation.

Look.

BATMAN: It's a vortex.

All right, Bo,

full power.

We can't outrun it.

Every vortex has a vacuum in its center,

so we'll head into it.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ah. I think I'm gonna be sick.

BATMAN: Hang on, we should be in the center any moment.

[BUBBLES GIGGLES]

Very clever, Batman,

but you must still face the giant clams.

[LAUGHS]

[♪♪♪]

BUBBLES: That's what I call clamming up.

[BUBBLE CHUCKLES]

Let's see you get out of that one, Batman.

[LAUGHS]

We're inside the clam.

Batgirl, come with me.

What about me?

You stay here and take care of Robin.

Gotcha, chief. I'll look after things here.

BATMAN: What we need right now is a good idea.

And good ideas aren't to be sneezed at.

"Sneezed at."

That's what I call a good idea.

His nose must be up there.

I'll use these suction cups to climb up.

You get Bat-Mite.

Robin, break out the emergency food pack.

Here it is. Just the thing.

Pepper.

If we can make the clam sneeze,

we may be able to get out.

Now, you crawl up next to his nose,

blow this in, then get back and fast.

No problem, why I remember once--

Bat-Mite, please.

All right, all right, I'm going.

BATMAN: We'll start the Batsub.

[CLAM GRUNTING]

[GASPS] [CLAM SNEEZES]

[CLAM GRUNTING] Hang on.

Inside, quick.

[CLAM SNEEZES]

I did it. I did it.

You did it?

Holy ego.

All right, Robin.

We'll talk about this later.

Right now we've got to find a hiding place

for the Batsub.

Break out the Batsonar

and see if we can pick up the professor's voice.

BUBBLES [OVER RADIO]: We will soon have the final part, Bo.

With Operation Sunspot,

I will be ruler

of the world.

[CHUCKLES]

You see, Bo,

I can force anybody on land to do what I want.

If they don't, I will use the sun

to melt the polar ice cap.

[OVER RADIO] I can put the whole world underwater.

[BUBBLES GIGGLES]

The fiend. We must stop him.

I'll get into my frog suit.

If we could get word to the commissioner,

he could notify the Navy.

The professor will be monitoring the radio.

He'll jam our signal if he knows it's us--

But, wait, maybe there is a way.

That CB Language of yours.

I don't think he'd make head or tail of that.

[♪♪♪]

MAN [OVER RADIO]: So here I am,

down in the rocking chair with a hammer down.

Breaker, breaker, with a big 10-34.

MAN: Go, breaker.

Have you got your ears on?

Well, shake the trees and rake the leaves.

It's a 10-5 for Chief Smokey Bear Worthington.

[OVER RADIO] Hope this is wall-to-wall

and treetop tall, 10-33.

What do you think that's all about?

Oh, somebody's playing around,

but we have more important things to do.

MAN: 10-4, old buddy. I'm 10-27.

Give me a hand here, Bo.

ROBIN: Message delivered.

I'll keep in touch with you through the Batcom.

Can you hear me all right?

BATMAN [OVER RADIO]: 10-4, old buddy.

Systems all go.

Safe journey, Batman.

[♪♪♪] [BUZZING]

Yes?

WOMAN: Commissioner, a CB operator just phoned

and said he received an emergency call

for Chief Smokey Bear Worthington.

Hmm.

Smokey Bear means policeman,

and only Batman and Robin know

that my middle name is Worthington.

They're in trouble.

Miss Horton, call the Coast Guard and the Navy.

I want all available ships sent to the Bermuda Rectangle,

full speed.

BUBBLES: All right, Bo,

periscope up.

Range: 1200 yards.

Heading: north by northwest.

Start countdown.

[BEEPING]

[BEEPS]

BATMAN: The professor just released a bubble to capture the ship,

and there's a shark pushing it up.

Holy mackerel, a shark.

I've got to stop him.

How do you stop a shark?

With the Batbuzzer.

That is if Batman has time

to find the right frequency.

[OVER SPEAKER] The bubble, Sharktooth, push it up.

Push it up. Get the bubble up.

[BUZZING]

[POPS]

You haven't beaten me yet, Batman.

We'll frighten him off

with the electric eels.

[GIGGLES]

I'm being pursued by two electric eels.

If I can find the transatlantic telephone cable,

I may be able to patch into the subcarrier's frequency.

What good will that do, Batman?

The phone line is DC,

the eels are AC.

I may be able to change their polarity.

[♪♪♪]

Professor, there are ships coming

from all directions.

It's the Navy.

We've got to get out of here.

Lucky I planned for this possibility.

[GIGGLES]

Start the rockets.

Robin, the professor's getting away.

I can't keep up with him.

Turn on the Bat-amplifier

so my voice can be heard underwater.

Bat-amplifiers on, go ahead, Batman.

[OVER SPEAKER] Sharktooth? Where are you, Sharktooth?

Sharktooth, get the bubble.

Push it up, Sharktooth.

Good boy, Sharktooth.

Now push it up, bubble up, Sharktooth, bubble up.

Thank you, Sharktooth.

And ahoy, Robin.

You can come up from below.

So long, professor.

Have a good trip...to jail.

Batcomputer: Bat Message.

Well, I think Bat-Mite learned

that when there's a job to do,

that's not the time to play around.

Bat-Mite, I hope you learned something else,

like keeping off other people's property.

Of course I did.

You won't find me going

any place I'm not invited.

All right, Bat-Mite, where are you?

BAT-MITE: See ya next week.

[BAT-MITE LAUGHS]
