You're lucky they'll talk.-Mr. Merrick of The Gotham City Times.

-Nonsense. How can a yacht disappear?
-lt isn't true?
I stand on my answer.
Mr. Stanley of The Globe.
-lt was a Big Ben Distilleries yacht?
-That's right.
Isn't the proprietor,
Commodore Schmidlapp...
...bringing with him a new invention
from Big Ben's lab?
-No more questions about that ship.
-What about that shark?
BATMAN:
Unfortunately, it chancedYou there, Miss--
Comrade Kitanya lrenya Tatanya
Karenska Alisoff.
From The Moscow Bugle.
You grace us with your presence.
May I be of service?
Please, take off the mask
to give the better picture.
-Batman take off his mask?
O'HARA:
She's mad.BATMAN:
Chief O'Hara, all of you.
This young lady is a stranger.
Her request is not unnatural...
...however, impossible to grant.
-lmpossible?
-lndeed.
If we were to remove our masks,
our true identities would be revealed.
-Ruining their value as crime fighters.
-Not even we know who they are.
In fact, our own relatives don't know.
But your so curious costumes....
Don't be put off by them.
Under this we're ordinary Americans.
You're like the masked vigilantes
in the Westerns?
Batman and Robin are
deputized agents of the law!
-"Support your police" is our message.
-Well said, Robin.
And no better way to end
this conference.
-Thank you and good day.
MAN:
Batman--O'HARA:
Never mind, everybody out.Come on, we're all busy here.
A fine job. You allayed their fears.
If l'd told the truth,
panic would grip the city.
The truth. And what is the truth?
A decoy. An anonymous warning...
...that Schmidlapp's in danger,
to lure me into a trap.
An attempt on his life.
While they were luring you
to a watery grave...
...the yacht was being hijacked?
-Precisely!
-And who behind it?
are at large now?
I'll check at once, Batman.
Let's have the latest status report
on criminals at large. Thank you.
Coming up on
the closed-circuit TV screen.
MAN:
Status report. Known supercriminals not currently imprisoned.
BATMAN:
Penguin.
That pompous waddling
master of foul play...
...maestro of a million
criminal umbrellas.
ROBlN:
Joker!O'HARA:
Clown prince of crime!If l had a nickel
GORDON:
The Riddler too?
So it seems.
To plague us with his conundrums.
ROBlN:
Gosh, and the Catwoman!-End of status report.
Could be any one of them,
but which one?
Which ones?
Pretty fishy what happened to me
on that ladder.
-Where there's a fish, there's Penguin.
-Wait! lt happened at sea.
See? "C" for Catwoman!
Yet, that exploding shark
was pulling my leg.
-The Joker!
-lt all adds up to a sinister riddle.
Riddler. Riddler?
give it utterance.
The four of them.
Their forces combined.
-Holy nightmare!
-Batman, could it be?
I don't know.
But l think I know
where to find a clue.
Robin, to the Batcave!
We haven't one moment to lose!
Ahoy, Catwoman.
How many times have l told you?
Never use my real name in public!
You and your trained exploding shark!
How should I know they'd have a can...
...of shark-repellent Bat spray?
You sniveling sardine!
You pompous puffed-up penguin!
Friends, make peace.
Have a shake on me.
A joke a day keeps the gloom away!
Sic them, Hecate,
scratch out their eyes.
-Take away that ravenous panther!
-l'll feed him to the birds.
I'll incapacitate it
with my trick confetti!
"United Underworld."
We're about as united...
...as the members
of the United World headquarters.
-What's the matter with you all?
-She's right.
If we don't manage to swallow
our super-criminal pride--
Right, Mr. Riddler, quite right!
We must hang together,
or we shall hang separately.
What a pity that would be on the eve
