[male narrator] Superman!

Wonder Woman!

Batman and Robin!

Aquaman!

Black Vulcan!

Samurai!

Apache Chief!

El Dorado!

Together, they form the world's most greatest force

dedicated to truth, peace and justice for all mankind...

These are the "Super Friends!"

[male narrator] Somewhere in the midst of the Milky Way

an alien craft wanders through the stars.

[alien] Great space warps! I wonder what that could be.

pew pew pew

Oh, no! There's someone inside that strange space warp.

My omni-laser razor should get them out.

Pew pew pew

At long last, we're free of the Phantom Zone.

It's been too long to remember since Superman put us in this

nightmarish void to pay for our crime.

But we're out now, Logar.

And being from planet Krypton

we're just as strong as Superman.

- Strong enough to destroy him. - Excuse me.

But you could at least thank me for releasing you.

Just be happy that we don't destroy you, you little man.

Please, just let me go back to my time-space conveyor

and you'll never see me again.

Time-space conveyor, eh?

That gives me a great idea.

We can go back in time when Superman was a boy

and eliminate him before he ever grows up to bother us.

Come on, little man. You're taking us back into time.

[alien] But... I... You...

[craft beeps]

Pew pew pew

pew pew pew

[male narrator] Meanwhile, across a vast sea of time and space...

What year is it now?

According to me cyberial computer it's 1957.

Perfect. This is where we get off.

That's the last time I'll give a lift to a time-space hitchhiker.

Whir

[male narrator] A short while later, in the town of Smallville...

There. Martha Kent's windmill is as good as new.

[wind howls]

[male narrator] In the nearby farmhouse, young Clark Kent

hears cry of distress transforming into Superboy

within a fraction of a second.

[sighs]

Thanks, Superboy. I thought I was a goner.

Next time you fix a windmill

be sure to check the weather report.

Whir

[Logar maniacal laugh]

Great Krypton! Who are you?

[Logar maniacal laugh]

He doesn't even recognize us.

Well, how could he, Logar?

It'll be 20 years before he puts us into the Phantom Zone.

Not if we take care of him now.

He won't be around to capture us.

I don't know what you're talking about.

But I don't need to.

[maniacal laugh]

Crash

[inhales]

Crash

So, you want to play rough, do you?

Pew pew pew

You have... every power I do, only more so!

That's because we're from Krypton too, Superboy.

[blowing]

If they have all of my powers

then they must have my weaknesses too.

Pew pew pew

- He trying to escape. - After him!

Whir

I knew the piece of kryptonite

I've been keeping in this lead box

would come in handy some day.

Handier than you think, Superboy.

[maniacal laugh]

Pew pew pew

[male narrator] A short while later, inside the Kent farm...

[Hul] Once I open this box you won't have very long, Superboy.

Rom-Lok, Logar, out of the way!

Pew pew pew

No! Please, I... I never did anything to you.

- No, but you would have. - I'll take that.

Green Lantern!

Rom-Lok, Logar, take care of that green freak!

- Not so fast, fellows. - Superman!

[Superboy] Superman?

But you're not supposed to be in this time period?

That's just what I was about to tell you.

Get them!

How'd you like to go on a nice hay ride?

It's time for a little batting practice.

And you're going to be the baseball.

Don't count your home runs before they're hit.

Chomp chomp chomp

[screams] No!

Your energy forms are no match for our power.

Pew pew pew

Maybe not but mine is.

Pew pew pew

What's the matter, Rom-Lok?

Getting eye strain?

[Hul screams]

Thanks.

Rom-Lok, Hul, let's go!

Whir

We may not be able to beat Superman

but we can destroy his planet.

[male narrator] Flying into the Earth at tremendous speed...

...the escapees from the Phantom Zone cut a hole

through the center of the planet...

[rumbling]

...releasing the tremendous pressure of its molten core.

Green Lantern, you cork the volcano.

Superboy and I will take of Hul and the others.

Whir

[engine whirring]

[volcano rumbling]

Jumpin' jackrabbits!

There's a volcano in Martha Kent's backyard.

whir

pew pew pew

- Thanks, green fella. - Anytime.

[male narrator] With another blast of his power ring

Green Lantern sews up the erupting volcano.

[rumbling]

While over the distant Rockies...

Once we split open the continental divide

the rest of the planet will break apart.

I hate to spoil your fun, but I've got other plans for you.

Now!

Whir

[grunting]

You'll never get out of that super straight jacket.

Pew pew pew

Before you send us back to the Phantom Zone, Superman

there's one thing I want to know.

How did you find us back in the past?

Simple. I told Superman you were looking for him.

Have a nice trip back to the Phantom Zone.

Pew pew pew

Uh, thanks for your help.

Don't thank me.

You did all by yourself.

Whir

So long. I'll see you in the future.

I, I wonder what he meant by that?

[instrumental music]

[male narrator] On the campus of Gotham High

a tenth grader is about to have an all too familiar experience.

[Benny] Hey, gorgeous Gloria, how about a date tonight

with the captain of the football team?

Oh, I can't, Benny. I've got a date... with Ernie Wilcox.

[grunts]

[groans]

That bimbo? Why, he couldn't even tackle my grandmother.

Uh, hi, guys. Somebody call me?

Yeah, the hospital.

They found out your other football team

and want to reserve a bed for you.

[both laugh]

Come on, Gloria. You want to talk with apes

we can go to the zoo.

Hold it, big mouth.

I'll show you who the monkey is around here.

Ernie might be a lousy football player

but he'd make a great mascot.

Right. The Gotham Gorilla!

[both laugh]

Don't let it bother you, Ernie.

They're just trying to act tough.

They're right, Gloria. I'm nothing but a wimp.

Pew pew pew

[male narrator] Meanwhile, a short distance away

at the towering Wayne building...

Only 850 more windows and we'll be through with this job.

[rope creaks]

[snaps]

Help! Help!

[male narrator] Far below, the Wonder Twins and Dynamic Duo

patrol the streets of Gotham City.

One thing a Super Friend should always remember is that

you never know when or where trouble will appear.

Now that maybe true for you, Batman but we Exorians

have a sixth sense for danger.

And I can tell you with complete certainty

that there isn't an ounce of trouble within miles.

[male 1] Help!

if I were you, Zan, I'd stick to your fist five senses.

[Robin] Holy cliffhanger, Batman!

Those window washers are in trouble!

You two wait here, Robin and I will scale the building.

Why do trainee superheroes

always have to sit on the sidelines?

[clanking]

[dramatic music]

[rope creaks]

[Batman] Relax, fellows. We'll have you safe on the ground

before you know it.

Hang on to me!

- We're next. - Help!

Batman, I'm slipping!

Plop

[screams]

We've only got a few seconds, Zan.

[both] Wonder Twin powers activate!

Form of an octopus!

Tring

Shape of a waterspout!

Tring

[Jayna] Ready or not, here I come!

Plonk

whir whir

Thanks, Super Friends.

Great Gotham! My utility belt!

It must've fallen during the rescue.

Zan, Jayna, you check that way,

Robin and I'll search to the South.

[dramatic music]

Boy, would I ever like to teach that Vinnie a lesson.

If I was only bigger than he is, I...

Oh, what's that?

Looks like Batman's utility belt.

Pew

Watch out, Vinnie.

This time Ernie's gonna make a monkey out of you!

[male narrator] Meanwhile, a few blocks away...

Hiya, Gloria.

Can I carry your package for you?

Hey, what do you say I call Ernie for you

and tell him your date's off for tonight?

[Ernie] Why not tell me face to face, Vinnie?

Hey, where'd you get that far-out belt, Ernie?

A toy store?

[giggles]

I'll show you how funny my belt is.

Metallic click]

Hey! Get me out of this thing!

Now we'll see how tough you really are.

Just a second, Ernie. I was only kiddin' today.

- Just a little fun. - Fun, huh?

I'll show you some real fun this time.

Ernie, stop!

Pew pew pew

Real cute, Ernie.

Only you forgot to wear your space helmet. Ha-ha-ha!

[male narrator] But the youths are unaware that the oscillating Bat device

is in fact a molecular de-stabilizer.

[rumbling]

[glass shatters]

Oh, no! What have I done?

[rumbling continues]

Help!

- Help! - Sounds like trouble. Come on.

Wonder Twins, help us!

I think it's time for some quick Exxor action.

[both] Wonder Twin powers activate!

Form of a giant spider!

Tring

[rumbling continues]

Crash

boing

Shape of a blizzard!

Tring

pew pew pew

[both] Wonder Twin powers deactivate!

Tring

Someone want to tell me what happened?

It was my fault, Batman.

I found your belt and tried to use it to be tough like you.

Using my Bat devices to destroy property

and frightening people isn't what makes me tough.

- It's believing in myself. - Batman's right.

I'm not a wimp, Vinnie

because I'm tough enough to admit when I'm wrong.

[instrumental music]

[Vinnie] Say, Ernie. Tomorrow at practice watch the way I pass.

All you need to do is change your grip

and you'll get another ten yards.

[instrumental music]

[male narrator] As surfers and swimmers enjoy the waters

off the Hawaiian Islands an unexpected menace

approaches from the deep.

Oh, no! A shark!

[male narrator] But as the shark circles its victim...

...another undersea figure approaches.

Sorry, fellow, but these waters are restricted.

No sharks allowed.

[male narrator] As Aquaman wrestles with the angry beast

his hand scratched by the shark fin.

The shark's gone.

- You can relax. - Thanks, Aquaman.

You're a Super Friend.

Pew pew pew

[male narrator] Meanwhile, in the Andes Mountains of South America...

[sighs]

We're almost at the summit, Miguel.

[squawks]

Hey, get away, you crazy hawk!

Excuse me, my flying amigo

but chewing on climbers ropes is not sympathetico.

[male narrator] But as El Dorado defends himself

the hawk scratches his arm flying away

as unexpectedly as it came.

Gracias, amigo.

Por nada.

Pew pew pew

[male narrator] Later, at a mysterious island in the Pacific...

[sloshing]

[dramatic music]

Well done, my little pets.

Have you done as you are ordered?

[squawks]

[Brainiac] Excellent. With what you've brought me...

'...I shall soon be able to destroy the Super Friends.

Yes! It's all here.

Living cells from Aquaman and El Dorado's skin.

whir

It worked! I've cloned the new Aquaman and El Dorado.

And this brain-wave-implanter will program their minds

with the rest of my plans.

Proceed with phase two.

[beeps]

- Yes, Brainiac. - We will not fail you.

Splash

[male narrator] Later, as the real Aquaman patrols the Pacific...

Great Neptune!

I must need some air.

I could swear I'm seeing myself!

Not yourself, Aquaman. Your duplicate.

Alike in every detail except one

I am more ruthless!

[dramatic music]

Just one way to stop this super-phoney!

[male narrator] Using his aquatic telepathy Aquaman summons an octopus

to his aid.

My friend here is not going to let go until you tell me

what your game is.

My game is to win, Aquafool!

And I will with my aquatic telepathy.

Pew pew pew

Take him to Brainiac's laboratory.

Pew pew pew

[male narrator] Back in the mountains of South America...

Right, Superman. I'll be back at the Hall of Justice

within the hour.

[El Dorado] I rather doubt it, El Dorado.

Great golden ores! Who are you?

I am... Ha-ha!

...El Dorado.

And you are coming with me.

[male narrator] As the evil clone sweeps the real El Dorado

back to the Island lair...

Pew pew pew

...Brainiac's evil plan is about to go into phase three.

Tring

All set.

[male narrator] Using his three dimensional holographic vision

the clone El Dorado creates the image of a giant serpent.

[grunts]

A sea monster!

Hard to starboard.

[grunts]

Crash

[grunts]

Tring

Super Friends...

You got here just in time to save my ship.

We are not here to save your ship, senor.

We're here to rob it!

[lock creaks]

Clank

A hundred thousand dollars is all I have, Super Friends.

[Aquaman] Ha-ha-ha. That'll do.

Take 'em to the brig, and call the authorities at Metropolis.

[male narrator] The next day, at the Metropolis court house...

Aquaman and El Dorado will please rise.

You have been charged with piracy!

How do you plead?

[together] Guilty.

[indistinct murmuring]

But we weren't alone, they were in it with us.

The Super Friends have turned against the people.

No, it's not true.

[indistinct chattering]

It's working.

In a short while

the Super Friends will be behind bars.

[chuckles] With all of them out of the way the entire ignorant planet

will be at my mercy!

We've got to stop Brainiac

before his warped mind does any more damage.

I may not be able to teleport myself out of this energy cell

but I think I can trick Brainiac into freeing us.

Adios, Brainiac!

Tring

It's impossible!

They can't have escaped.

Nothing can get through my energy cell.

Tring

You're quite right, Brainiac.

But a clever mind can get around it!

Fools! You may have gotten out of the energy cell

but you'll never get past my security devices.

Pew pew pew

Ole!

It's time to take a little trip, and pronto.

Tring

pew pew pew

[male narrator] Meanwhile, back at the Metropolis court house...

Based on the evidence presented to this court

I find you all guilty!

[indistinct murmuring]

I think there's been a slight mistake, Your Honor.

Aquaman, El Dorado?!

Don't worry, Superman.

You're not seeing double.

Brainiac cloned us and tried to make the rest of you

look like criminals.

This is obviously been a unique case of double jeopardy.

[gavel bangs]

Case dismissed.

Looks like you'll be going on trial next, Brainiac.

It's a good thing Brainiac's mechanical android.

I'd hate to see what would happen

if he ever cloned himself.
