Batman: The Movie Page #3

Synopsis: The arch-villains of the United Underworld - the Joker, the Penguin, the Riddler and the Catwoman - combine forces to dispose of Batman and Robin as they launch their fantastic plot to control the entire world. From his submarine, Penguin and his cohorts hijack a yacht containing a dehydrator, which can extract all moisture from humans and reduce them to particles of dust. The evildoers turn the nine Security Council members in the United World Building into nine vials of multicolored crystals! Batman and Robin track the villains in their Batboat and use Batcharge missiles to force the submarine to surface.

-Commodore Schmidlapp?

-Precisely.

For some reason

the hijackers needed him...

...or his invention

as part of their criminal scheme.

Keep an eye on the scope.

Watch for suspicious vessels.

It looks like we've got

the whole ocean to ourselves.

Diving planes, Mr. Bluebeard,

three degrees.

Hoist three degrees.

I hope you know

what you're doing, Penguin.

Mr. Riddler, I ignore

your insipid insinuation, sir!

Mr. Joker, you're leaning

on the control!

Don't sound so bossy, if you please!

As the poet says:

"On land, you may command.

At sea, it is me!"

Now hear this. This is your captain

speaking, my fine pinioned pirates.

We're approaching the buoy.

There may be skullduggery ahead!

MAN:
Yo-ho!

-What? What?

Unidentified small craft, bearing 1 1 3.

Mr. Bluebeard, hold her steady!

Up periscope!

Great quivering icebergs!

Just as I hoped.

BATMAN:

Watch your step, Robin.

An underwater shark cage.

The source of that fish.

What cruelty!

Stuffing a poor shark with deadly TNT!

Nothing's sacred to those devils.

Torpedoes! What are we waiting for?

Chain of command, Mr. Riddler.

The Penguin runs the ship.

Mr. Joker.

Load the torpedo tubes!

Yo-ho!

Load torpedo tubes!

Salt and corrosion.

The infamous old enemies of

the crime fighter. No prints here.

Look here, Batman.

That tricky mirage projector

must be behind this plate.

Wow! What a set of superpower lenses!

No wonder we were fooled.

Look, Robin.

ROBlN:
Holy Long John Silver!

A periscope!

He spotted us! Set torpedoes

to automatic homing.

Set torpedoes to automatic homing!

You crazy bird.

Fire them off, quickly!

Activate the remote control

Penguin magnet inside that buoy.

Yo-ho!

Holy glue pot! What's going on?

The fiends! They've converted

this buoy into a gigantic magnet!

It's got us by the metallic objects

in our utility belts.

Torpedo tubes armed!

Batman! We're helpless

in this monstrous, invisible grip!

-Steady, Robin. l see one hope.

-What, Batman?

If l could just pry loose

my utility belt transmitter!

-Mr. Joker, are you ready to fire?

-Yo-ho, ready to fire!

Five, four, three, two.

-Fire 1 !

-Fire 1 !

Torpedoes!

If l can just reverse the polarity,

send out waves of super energy.

-What happened?

-Mr. Joker, fire 2!

Fire 2!

Here comes another one!

You and your reconditioned

surplus torpedoes!

He must be using a super energy

reverse polarizer! Mr. Joker, fire 3!

Fire 3!

Here comes a third one!

Confound it, the batteries are dead!

This one's getting through!

It is. lt's getting through.

[TORPEDO EXPLODES]

Surface, Mr. Bluebeard!

Let us feast our eyes

on the watery remains!

Gosh, the nobility
