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]
[♪♪♪]
[MACHINE WHIRRING]
The area is clear, sire.
There are no earthlings within 100 miles of us.
Excellent. Is everything ready for my departure?
Everything is ready.
Hovercraft standing by.
If everything goes as planned,
I shall return with Batman and Robin...
in miniature.
[LAUGHS]
[♪♪♪]
How's it coming, Robin?
We'll know in a minute, Batman. Keep your fingers crossed.
Okay, try it now.
[ENGINE STARTS]
Hey, all right.
Sounds like it's gonna make it this time.
[ENGINE SPUTTERS]
Holy smoke!
I give up.
Have you thought about trying the old hairpin and gum trick?
Very funny.
BATMAN: We'll take the Batcopter.
We don't want to be late for the banquet.
After all, it is in our honor.
What's happening, Dynamic Duo?
Oh, no!
Having a little car trouble?
Nothing serious, Bat-Mite.
I'll fix it later.
I'll fix the Batmobile in a jiffy.
Stand back.
Never mind, Bat-Mite, we'll...
[GROANS]
Uh, Bat-Mite, we're...
We're kind of in a hurry and...
Don't worry, Batman, I'll have you on the road in a snap.
What happened, Robin?
Well, you're not gonna believe this, but he...
Don't tell me. Don't tell me.
Now try it, Batman.
BATMAN: Hold your breath.
[ENGINE STARTS]
Piece of cake.
[♪♪♪]
I wonder if the great Dynamic Duo
have any idea what's in store for them.
Within the hour, I'll have them
right in the palm of my hand.
[LAUGHS]
GORDON: Ladies and gentlemen, we are here tonight
to honor two of Gotham City's finest citizens.
Two men who really need no introduction.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Batman and Robin.
[APPLAUSE]
[WHISTLES]
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
We really appreciate your enthusiastic support
and are deeply grateful for this celebration here tonight.
Batman, Robin, look out!
[CROWD SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY]
BATMAN: Electro!
ELECTRO: Don't try anything foolish, commissioner.
And tell your men to keep their distance,
or I'll put all of Gotham City in a bottle.
[LAUGHING]
Unless you want to end up smaller than a flea,
my little friend,
I suggest you put all those foolish notions
out of your pointed little head right now.
Anyone else care to try?
You're smarter than I thought, for humans.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I've really got to run.
Have a nice night.
[LAUGHS]
GORDON: Stay out of this, Bat-Mite.
We'll have to move carefully.
Bat-Mite, come back here.
Bat-Mite!
There goes Gotham City.
Any luck, Batman?
Afraid not, Robin. This container
is made of some kind of indestructible material.
Looks like this will be our home for a while.
What now, Batman?
Somehow, we've got to get our hands
on Electro's shrinking-ray gun.
It's the only way we can ever return to our normal size again.
But there's only one problem:
I hope you're comfortable,
Dynamic Duo.
If you need anything,
don't hesitate to call.
[LAUGHS]
Oops. Lousy landing.
Better try again.
Busting breakouts! It's Bat-Mite.
Bat-Mite?
We gotta get his attention.
Hey, Bat-Mite.
Bat-Mite!
Bat-Mite!
Leaping laryngitis, Batman, he can't hear us.
Hi, how are ya?
Long time no see.
Time for me to say adiós.
[CHUCKLES]
That little runt is smarter than I thought.
I wonder where he's taking us.
I don't know, Robin, but we'll find out soon enough.
[♪♪♪]
ELECTRO: Now, my crusading little friends,
I have a job for you, a very important job.
Hey,
pick on somebody your own size, Electro.
Ah, but you're the perfect size right now, Boy Wonder.
What's going through that diabolical mind of yours,
Electro?
You and Robin are going to steal
some military secrets for me.
Doesn't that sound like fun?
[LAUGHS]
No way are we going to do that, Electro.
No way.
You're wrong, Batman.
Dead wrong.
[IN MONOTONE] What do you want us to do, sire?
On the second floor of that building
is a room labeled "Project Alpha."
I want you to sneak into that room
with this teeny camera
and photograph certain documents.
I will be in constant voice contact
and will instruct you every step of the way.
It will be our pleasure
to obey your commands, sire.
Excellent.
I thought you would see it my way.
ROBIN [IN MONOTONE]: Holy breaking and entering.
How are we going to get in there, Batman?
We'll hitch ourselves a ride.
Come on.
That's it, Robin.
Project Alpha.
ROBIN: Yeah, but what about the guard?
We'll just have to be careful
going through the transom.
Come on.
Batman, this is Electro.
Do you read me?
I hear you, sire.
BATMAN [OVER RADIO]: We are now inside the Alpha office.
What are your instructions?
ELECTRO [OVER RADIO]: Look for a file
labeled "Weapons and Installations."
Photograph them with the camera I gave you
and get out as fast as you can.
BATMAN: Yes, sire.
Imagine, the goody-goody Batman and Robin
stealing for me, Electro.
What will the good people of Gotham City think
of their mighty heroes now?
[LAUGHS]
Something tells me
I'll need help to get the guys out of this one.
[RUSTLING]
Batman, someone's coming.
I'm finished.
You have performed your task perfectly,
my little friends.
For now I have the power
to take over the world.
We are proud to serve you, sire.
Is there any other way
we can help you?
Yes, there is one more teeny little favor.
Get in. Soon, the effects of my brain ray will wear off
and you'll return to your nasty, old hero selves.
But then, three-inch heroes
aren't much threat to anyone, are they?
[LAUGHS]
They should rename you
the Dynamic Pickles.
[LAUGHS]
[♪♪♪]
Oh, boy. I hope the commissioner's home.
[BUZZES]
[DOOR OPENS]
BARBARA: Hello, Bat-Mite.
Hi, Miss Gordon.
Is the commissioner home?
I'm afraid not.
He's been working on that Electro case.
Is there something I can do?
I wanted the commissioner to get in touch with Batgirl for me.
I have some important news about Batman and Robin.
Oh, I'll contact her, Bat-Mite.
Come on in, you can wait in the library.
Well, Dynamic Duo,
in a short time, you are going to witness
the beginning of my plan to take over the world.
[♪♪♪]
[NORMAL VOICE] Robin, that mind ray has worn off,
and we've gotta get out of here.
[NORMAL VOICE] Batman, what...? Wallowing waterbeds!
Let's hope this bottle
is made of just plain old Earth glass.
We're in luck. It's glass.
[WATER SPLASHES]
Holy dog-paddle, Batman,
that was a little too close.
I'm afraid the fun isn't over yet, Boy Wonder.
We've got a long swim ahead of us,
and I'm afraid we're going to look like bait
to some of the fish along the way.
Well, look at it this way, Batman.
You always wanted to learn how to surf,
and I can't think of a better time than now.
Good thinking, Robin.
Let's go.
[♪♪♪]
BAT-MITE: Oh, boy, is she ever beautiful.
[SIGHS]
Hi, Bat-Mite.
Yipes!
Oh, sorry, Bat-Mite,
I didn't mean to frighten you.
Do you have news of Batman and Robin?
Oh, hi, Batgirl.
Bat-Mite, what about the news?
Huh? What news?
[SIGHS] About Batman and Robin.
Oh, boy, I completely forgot.
Yi-yipes!
[GASPS]
I'm listening, Bat-Mite.
Oh, right, right. The news. The news...
Oh. The news. Got it.
They were going to steal some secret plans for Electro
from the government buildings out at Thunder Flats.
Half-hour, maybe more.
Then they're long gone by now.
Come on. Somehow we've got to find Electro's spaceship.
ROBIN: Here it comes.
Start paddling, Batman. Start paddling.
All right!
BATGIRL: This is desert sand.
You're sure this is the place Electro parked his hovercraft?
This is it, Batgirl. I never forget a place.
Then that spaceship could be hidden out in the desert.
Come on.
We've got to get back to the Batcave, Robin,
and try to find an antidote to Electro's shrinking ray.
I hope Batcomputer is feeling his oats tonight.
We'll need all the help we can get.
BATCOMPUTER: Well, Dynamic Duo,
looks like you could use some help.
BATMAN: Electro used his shrinking ray on us, Batcomputer.
Can you come up with an antidote that'll bring us back to normal?
Ah...
That Electro is a very clever fellow, all right.
Too bad he can't put his smarts to good use.
Oh, well, I'll see what I can do.
Another big fat zero, Bat-Mite.
But that spaceship has gotta be around here someplace.
Maybe the Batcomputer can help us out.
BATCOMPUTER: Are you ready, gentlemen?
ROBIN: Sock it to us, Batcomputer.
Well, now, that's much better,
I must say.
Batgirl, where are you?
We tracked Electro's spaceship to the desert,
but aren't having much luck locating it.
Then we've got to move fast.
Electro's planning to take over the world,
and he has the power to do it.
We've got to stop him before it's too late.
Batcomputer, can you help us locate that spaceship?
BATCOMPUTER: It will take some time, Batman,
but I can do it.
All right, get to work.
Stay where you are, Batgirl,
we'll pick you up in the Batcopter.
Let's go, Robin.
[♪♪♪]
Is everything ready, commander?
Yes, sire.
Very good.
Put up the first target.
The main Nike Missile Base
in White Sands, New Mexico.
Prepare the ray.
[BEEPING]
COMMANDER: Distance to target is 1200 miles,
south by southwest.
Lock.
Activate.
[HUMMING]
Before the night is over, commander,
the world will be ours.
[LAUGHS]
BATCOMPUTER: You are dead on it now, Batman.
Straight ahead, less than a mile.
Give my regards to Electro.
Will do, Batcomputer.
Over and out.
What's our plan of attack, Batman?
We only have one chance,
and that's to catch Electro by surprise.
[ALARM BEEPING]
Someone approaches.
Put on the scanner.
It's Batman and Robin.
Put the ray on them.
Batman, I see the spaceship.
There's a shrinking ray on the roof,
and it's moving around towards us.
Time to bail out.
BATMAN: Let's go.
[♪♪♪]
Oh, boy, this is getting rough.
Hey, let me out of here.
Where are they? Did you hit them?
No, sire.
Then find them with the heat sensors.
We cannot let them get away.
BATMAN: We won't be safe here for long.
I've got to destroy that ray.
How? You'll never get close enough.
The Batarangs.
It's our only chance.
I'll run for that tree and divert their attention.
Say when you're ready.
Let me do it, Batgirl.
This is no job for a pretty girl like you.
You're sweet, Bat-Mite,
but I can take care of myself very well, thank you.
On the count of three, Batgirl.
One...
Hey, then let me go with ya.
All right,
but stay low.
You're telling a guy 2 foot tall to stay low?
What else is there?
Three.
[♪♪♪]
[BEEPING]
Come on, Robin.
We've got to stop Electro
before he takes off.
Quickly, quickly. Get underway.
We've got to escape or my whole plan is finished.
[MOANING]
BATMAN: Are you all right, Electro?
You're going to pay for this, Batman.
Mark my words.
Those are big words for someone on their way to jail, Electro.
BAT-MITE: Hang in there, shorty. I finally found somebody
shorter than me.
[LAUGHS]
A job well done.
[♪♪♪]
BATCOMPUTER: Bat Message.
Well, Robin, Electro is in the slammer,
and the missile base has been returned to its normal size.
BATCOMPUTER: Thanks to my antidote.
BAT-MITE: Hey, Batcomputer,
how 'bout returning me to my normal size?
Six-foot-three and 200 hard-muscled pounds.
[BATCOMPUTER BEEPING]
[CHUCKLES]
Well, would you believe 3-foot-3
and 55 lumpy-muscled pounds?
[LAUGHS]
[♪♪♪]
