Ok, hold it.
I suggest you all keep
your hands to yourselves
from now on.
Take my word.
It's in everyone's
best interest
to have me
out of your hair
as quickly as possible.
This is the stuff.
Aah!
Unh!
Unh!
Batman!
Aah!
Unh!
Men: Get us out of here!
Get us out of here!
Move!
[Tires squeal]
[Coughing]
[Coughing]
[Groans]
Wayne-powers?
Powers is helping blight?
What happened?
We heard
there was trouble--
aah!
If we stick to
proper channels
of procurement,
how long will
the materials last?
You're burning through
the skin too fast.
And, if I may,
Mr. powers,
it's not just
the radiation.
Your temper
is out of control.
[Shrieking]
I know, doctor!
[Softly]
I know.
I'm tired of this.
I can't maintain
the charade any longer.
It's time I made
new arrangements.
Crowd: Paxton powers
polluter!
Paxton powers polluter!
Paxton powers polluter!
No more sludge
in our rivers!
Paxton powers polluter!
Paxton powers polluter!
Paxton powers polluter!
Paxton powers polluter!
"No more pollution."
How do they expect us
to make a profit?
He wants to see you.
Oh, now father beckons.
Guess I've been
in exile long enough.
Let me guess.
You've thought of
an even more demeaning
grunt job for me.
Does acting
chairman of the board
sound like a grunt job?
How stupid
do you think I am?
It's in title only,
at least at first.
I'll tell you
what I want done,
and you'll do it.
If you perform well,
real power will follow.
I need your help, son.
I'm no longer able
to face the public.
What are you
talking about?
What's going on?
[Gasps]
Oh, dad.
Crowd: Paxton powers
polluter!
Paxton powers polluter!
Paxton powers polluter!
Paxton powers polluter!
All these people
are anti-powers?
Now I don't feel
so alone.
Paxton?
Derek powers' son.
Word is he's being
promoted today.
As you can see,
not everyone
was happy with him
in his last job.
While you're in there,
ask daddy
about his connection
to glow boy.
I'd love to finally
nail this guy
on something.
I'll see if it comes up.
I apologize
for the abruptness
of this announcement.
Unfortunately,
my health demands
that I take
a temporary leave--
emphasis, I hope,
on the "temporary."
Therefore, effective
midnight last night,
I've signed full proxy over
my majority stock holdings
to my son Paxton.
What did he say?
Woman: He's putting
his son in charge?
Out of the blue?
Man: Oh, I can't
believe it.
That's his son.
Does he know
what he's doing?
I trust that
you'll grant him
the same respect
as you would me.
Man: We must be heard!
The board must know!
I said you can't
go in there!
Señor powers!
Members of the board!
We have come all the way
from verdeza.
Please, hear us out.
Get these men
out of here!
Dad, your eyes.
Uhh! Our people
are fishermen.
It is our livelihood.
But your son has dumped
so much poison
that he has killed
our rivers.
What's going on?
How did they
get in here?
What's this
about poison?
I said get rid of them!
Dad, all the people.
Uhh.
This is all that's left.
Gaah!
[Roars]
Dad!
Oh, the stench.
This is disgusting.
[Growls]
[All gasp]
Aah!
Good heavens!
What is he?
What happened
to him?
[People gasping
and murmuring]
Whoa.
Powers is blight.
[People gasping
and murmuring]
Man: Is that really
Derek powers?
Second man:
I can't believe it.
It's insane.
This is amazing.
You
Animals!
You want to talk
about poison?
Ha ha ha ha ha!
I am poison1
let him go.
Old man,
I've been waiting
to do this for years.
Grrr!
Unh!
Unh!
Powers and blight.
Just think, you're both
of my 2 favorite people.
Unh!
Aah!
Gyah!
Dad!
[Groaning]
You ok?
I'm fine
Batman.
[Sirens]
News anchor: By surprise and
stunning the business world.
As the manhunt
for Derek powers continues,
questions about what he is
and how his
transformation occurred
remain unanswered.
You think he was
born this way?
Do you remember
when powers was
exposed to nerve gas?
Sure I remember.
I threw it.
Powers would have been
treated with radiation.
That, combined
with the gas,
may have mutated him
into this.
You mean
I made him that?
You may have
In part.
Good.
Hey, this guy
had my father murdered,
and all he's done since
is hide from the law.
Well, no more hiding
for Mr. Derek powers.
Now everyone
can see what he is
Even in the dark.
[Door slams]
I appreciate the support
of the board, Mr. larousse.
I won't let
the company down.
Excuse me. I have
another call coming in.
Paxton! Get my
doctors down here!
Where is everybody?!
Dad, settle down.
I have to get out
of the city.
I need my skin!
Dad, let me talk.
I'll get you help,
but putting the skin
back on
isn't the answer.
What are you doing?
I'm sending
an ambulance.
You fool!
They'll arrest me!
Now I can't even
stay here.
Listen to me.
Now that the truth is out,
let's get help.
Your doctors didn't
have the answer, so--
you've always been a fool.
Now I see I'm on my own!
Raah!
[Dial tone]
Wayne:
Any hot spots yet?
A trace here and there,
but nothing fresh.
He might have been
on the move earlier,
but now he's holed up
somewhere good.
I think I know another way
to find him.
Come back, and I'll explain.
Actually, something else
just came up.
What?
Look out your window.
This one you have to see
for yourself.
Aah!
Next time use e-mail.
Sorry, but we
have to talk.
Paxton powers.
Please, come inside.
My father's doctors
have been working on this
for a while.
It's called
a pinch cell.
Turn it on, and it
sucks up radiation
like a sponge.
Get to why I should care.
I'm having a net built
to connect to this cell.
If you can find my father
and lure him into the net,
the cell can weaken him
enough to hold him.
You want me
to catch him for you?
He needs
medical attention.
His condition's
affected his mind.
There's no reasoning
with him,
even if we knew
where he was.
I know this is strange,
asking you.
But from what I hear,
you may be the only one
who can find him.
Wayne, you get that?
Powers' own son
wants me to bring him in.
Careful, Terry.
You're sounding
a little too vindictive.
What do you mean?
I'm just helping a guy
help his dad.
Except in my version,
that help happens
behind bars.
Mr. Mendez.
How are the fish biting
these days?
That's what I was
about to ask you.
Batman's in.
But I doubt
he'll cooperate
when things
hit the fan.
Be ready
to kill him, too.
Looks like
your hunch was right.
How'd you know?
Wayne: I've been
reading people
since before
you were a person.
Ah. My pet bat
left us a present.
[Computer beeping]
You don't want
to be here tonight.
[Gasps]
Ahoy, captain.
Batman.
Where are you?!
Show yourself!
Batman: I found you.
Now it's your turn.
I gotta say,
a nuclear sub was smart.
That's why I couldn't find
your radiation trail.
This whole tin can
is still hot with rads.
It's about to get
warmer.
Batman: Turn right
at the next hatch.
Why do you persist
in tormenting me?
All I want
is to be left alone!
Batman: Can't let you
run around like this.
We've got rules
about radioactive waste.
And besides,
this is personal.
Who are you?
Batman: You really
want to know?
Yes.
You killed my father.
Do you have
the slightest idea
how little
that narrows it down?
Too bad.
It's all you get.
Captain on the bridge!
Unh!
What is this?
Just making up
for lost time, dad.
We never did go
fishing together.
[Groaning]
Did you really
expect me to believe
you'd ever give me power?
That I'd ever have
an ounce of control
as long as you were alive?
You taught me
by example, dad.
The only way to get power
is to seize it.
Aah!
Enough. Turn it off.
That thing's
gonna kill him.
You want this
as much as I do.
No. I wouldn't have
agreed to this.
You said you were
gonna help him.
I lied.
[Grunting]
Aah!
Unh!
Unh!
Raah!
Aah!
Paxton!
Wayne: Terry,
what's going on in there?
The radiation
is off the scale!
I think powers
is going critical.
I've gotta do something.
Raah!
Wayne: Get out--now!
Raah!
According to his son,
Derek powers was hiding
aboard the sub
when its long-dormant reactor
apparently breached.
You made a bad enemy
tonight.
What are you gonna do,
testify against me
in that mask?
Oh, I wasn't talking
about me.
I'm the least
of your worries.
Although divers continue
to inspect the wreckage,
the remains of Derek powers
have yet to be found.
So, he melted
with the sub.
Sure he did.
