[wings fluttering]

Grrr!

What took you so long?

hoo hoo hoo

You are late! Again!

caw

Zip it! I'm through with you birdbrains.

You are not wise enough!

You eat too much meat!

You are always crowing about something or other.

And you, Finch!

Don't get me started on you and your bird pies!

splat

Ohh! Indoors?

Bleh-achk!

I have had it with you slobs!

Well, you and your doo-doo are going the way of the dodo.

So, say hello to your replacement!

raaawwwk

[all gasping]

A rare condor

so vicious even I can't train it.

But with this specialized sonic thingy

I can command any bird to do my bidding.

clang

Observe.

[sonic humming]

I am your master.

Come to me.

Hmm. Come to me-e-e!

Come...to...me.

'I am your master.'

'Come to me!'

'Come to me-e-e.'

'Come to me!'

(Langstrom) 'You'll see.'

It's a matter of time before I recreate my formula

which will allow me to once again

rule Gotham's night skies

as Man-Bat!

[door clanking]

Okay. Do you want these chimichangas or not, Langstrom?

(Penguin) 'Come to me!'

'Come to-o me-e!'

Aaaaaah!

[sonic screeching]

The noise!

Aaaaah!

What noise?

Yaah-aah-aah!

Turn it off! Please!

Get it out of my head!

[sonic humming]

[grunting]

screech

Aah!

[grunting]

Grr..

Raaaarrh!

(Penguin) 'Come to me-e-e!'

crash

I said come to me already!

rawwwkk

Aah!

thud

Alright! I'm sorry!

clang

Lousy hunk of junk!

swoosh

crash

Raaaarrh!

[birds squawking]

Aah!

[grunting]

Who the, what are you?

And what do bats have against me anyway?

[sonic humming] Get away, you!

'Get away!'

flap

[sonic humming] Get away?

screech

Come to me.

Fan me.

Raaarrh!

I said, fan your master.

Pity this won't work on birdy.

I'll just have to make do with a ferocious

giant bat monster instead!

[laughing maniacally]

A flurry of moths, sir?

Penguin's pets.

Didn't have a shot at tracking them

to their master's whereabouts

but it doesn't add up.

'Oswald Cobblepot's always been after the big payday'

'jewels, gold, money..'

But a tech robbery?

Sonics?

Batwave.

An alarm has been tripped at Gotham National Bank.

Now that's the Penguin I know.

[raccoon chattering]

[engine revving]

screech

[instrumental music]

[alarm blaring]

Oh, dear.

beep beep

Intruder alert?

Evacuate the cave. I'm on my way.

(Alfred) 'That will be most unnecessary, sir.'

I believe I can handle our masked intruder myself.

[raccoon chattering]

Blast!

screech

[instrumental music]

Either Penguin's been working out..

...or he needs a manicure.

splat

thud

[growling]

Man-Bat.

Wouldn't a blood bank be more your style, Langstrom?

screech

[grunting]

[sonic humming] The money.

Bring me the money.

screech

[instrumental music]

(Penguin) 'Score!'

Look! Superbat's proving you tweeters are for the birds!

[laughing]

Huh?

flap flap flap

[screeching]

thud

[sonic hum] Stop fooling around!

'Get rid of the Batman!'

thud

The Batman, not the money!

swoosh

[music continues]

screech

Down, boy.

creak creak

[grunting]

[chortling]

Since when does Man-Bat rob banks?

Since Penguin started stealing sonic technology.

[raccoon chattering]

[engine revving]

Blast.

- Our intruder? - Uh, not to worry, sir.

My grip on that scoundrel tightens as we speak.

I'm on a wild animal hunt myself, Alfred.

And I have a hunch our bird heist

will shed some light on our bat heist.

[sonic humming] Rest up, my giant bat pet.

More crimes to commit for El Penguino tomorrow.

Raah!

screech

[gasping]

You! You! Get out of my head!

Huh? Where's my bat pet?

I am no one's pet!

I'm Dr. Kirk Langstrom, scientist

and one of the greatest minds in Gotham.

No! I, Penguin am one of the greatest.

So that's the wretched device which controls me.

Its frequency must have triggered my

echolocation bat hearing

and reactivated dormant traces of the serum

in my system, transforming me into Man-Bat!

Yeah, whatever.

So I just gotta flip this puppy on

to turn nerd guy back into Man-Bat?

I shall allow you to live, Penguin

if you hand it to me now.

Hand what to ya, huh? This? This?

[grunting]

[laughing]

Then be sure you never lose it

for the first opportunity I get

I shall clip your flightless wings.

(Bruce) 'I've repaired the device, Alfred.'

Diagnostics indicate it's a sonic emitter

encoded to communicate with birds.

But it can be adjusted to emit different frequencies.

'My guess is the one Penguin ended up with'

'was configured to control bats.'

Man-Bat may have the physical advantage

over the Batman, but if we can use

'this device to capture Penguin's frequency'

we might have a shot at breaking

Penguin's spell over his slave.

[raccoon chattering]

Gad! That wretched creature

'made off with the bait.'

It may be time to use

Wayne Industries media connections to lay some bait.

(Penguin) '"Golden penguin statue?" Wow.'

Now, how could they bring something like that to Gotham

and not expect me to steal it?

[laughing] Idiots!

[owl hooting]

(Penguin) 'Hmm.'

And it's already boxed for takeout.

[laughing]

click

Penguin's about to take the bait, Alfred.

I await your signal, sir.

[raccoon chattering]

[sonic humming] Alright, Fido..

screech

...time to fetch.

Raaawk!

Alfred, I've captured Penguin's signal.

Got it, sir.

That wave is translating its frequency.

whack whack

[instrumental music]

(Penguin) 'That's what I'm talkin' about!'

Sinewy strands of monster muscle!

Could you do that, vulture?

'I didn't think so.'

cheep cheep cheep

screech

Ah! Please don't break!

Please don't break, please don't break!

screech

thud

Bowling balls?

It's a trick!

[squawking]

[instrumental music]

'So! You like pinatas, Batman?'

Let's find out what you're filled with.

[sonic humming]

'Man-Bat, attack!'

screech

Standing by, Alfred.

[machines beeping]

Frequency transmission complete.

Prepare to receive, sir.

clang

screech

[sonic humming]

[beeping continues]

Sir, can you hear me?

[raccoon chattering]

Blast!

Stop.

Stop!

screech

thud

Alfred, do you copy?

[raccoon chattering]

crackle crackle

Hold on, Master Bruce.

No reception. I'm flying solo.

Gotta buy some time.

[sonic humming] Pound him into bat guano.

Raaaarrh!

[instrumental music]

thud

screech

How about a game of hide 'n seek?

(Penguin) Oh, the shadows won't conceal you, Batman.

My Man-Bat can hear in the dark.

Raaaarrh!

[music continues]

smash

[squirting]

thud thud thud

bang bang

Not too fond of confined spaces?

[music continues]

screech screech screech

Power? Where's the backup power?

How can one hungry ball of hair do so much damage?

Ah, these are terrible seats.

I'm missing all the fun.

Almost...there.

[raccoon chattering]

[grunting]

Raaaarrh!

We have transmission!

[beeping]

Raaarrh!

[sonic humming] Stop.

Phew!

You really did bring this upon yourself, you know.

And the champion returns.

So the mighty Batman is finally..

whack

Ooh, boy.

(Batman) 'Bring me Penguin..'

'...by whatever means necessary.'

[screaming] Please! Help me!

Ow! Someone please!

[Penguin screaming]

[muttering]

Next time, Penguin, stick to birds.

[sonic humming]

Oh, hi, Dr. Langstrom.

Ow!

Now that Penguin and Langstrom are roosting

in Arkham where they belong

'we may want to think about installing'

'an anti-rodent barrier.'

[raccoon chattering]

'Nice mask.'

In case you were considering taking on a sidekick, sir.

I think Penguin and I

are through with pets for the time being.
