[GRUNTS THEN SCREAMlNG]

[ELECTRlClTY POPPlNG]

[THUNDER CRASHING]

[ELECTRlClTY BUZZlNG]

DlSPATCHER [OVER RADlO]: Repeat, all units,

robbery in progress, Gotham City Trust.

[SlRENS WAlLlNG]

You see that other car?

Just went the other way.

Forget it.

We're gonna lose this one as it is.

[THUNDER CRASHING]

Damn, that sucker can move.

-What the hell is that?

-Can't exactly look right now, kid.

Up there. Freaking weird.

You gonna tell me or-- Holy....

You're slowing down?

Yeah. We're in for a show, kid.

[ALL SCREAM]

[GROANS]

That was the Batman.

[SlREN APPROACHlNG]

I never thought he was real. Look.

These men are mine.

-You heard the man.

-You crazy? I'm going in.

You don't wanna do that. Kid.

Batman would have to be old.

-Turk said he killed Batman.

-Yeah, well, Turk says a lot of things.

-This floor don't feel safe.

-Live dangerously. And shut up.

Watch it. You're gonna hit--

Mackie? Yeah, l think l did.

But l still don't see-- Uhn!

Everybody freeze.

[THUNDER CRASHING]

[BONE BREAKS]

[FEMUR GROANlNG THEN WHIMPERING]

You're under arrest, mister.

You just crippled that man.

He's young, he'll walk again.

But you'll stay scared, won't you, punk?

[WHlMPERS]

-I mean it. Get away from him.

-He's being patient with you as it is, kid.

Nice to have you back, Bats.

-Go to their car, kid. Get the loot.

FEMUR:
The pain.

I can't stand it.

-I don't believe this.

-It's not in their car.

Was there a second car at the bank?

-Yeah, an old jalopy. Didn't think--

-You weren't supposed to.

You know, I saw you once before.

Years ago, I was a rookie

like schmuck-face there and--

BATMAN:

Tell Gordon we have to talk.

Sure thing, Bats.

But how's he supposed

to get in touch with you...?

Oh, yeah. Now l remember.

Reports stream in this morning

of sightings of a bat-like creature...

...throughout the city last night.

You don't suppose--?

A group of cat burglars, seriously injured--

A wild animal that snarled and growled.

-A werewolf for sure.

-It was a flying monster...

-...with wings and fangs.

-Reality check, Michelle. lt was definitely a man.

But he had to be, like, 12 feet tall.

Two abducted children were found alive

in a riverside warehouse...

...along with six critically injured

members of the Mutant gang.

The children describe the gang's attacker

as "A man dressed as Dracula."
