Batman Unlimited: Animal Instincts

---

1

Just three more days

until Gotham will be able...

to spot the passage

of the Midas Heart...

the asteroid with a solid gold core

that passes the Earth every 77 years.

And finally, tomorrow night

is the grand opening of the Aviary...

Gotham City's newest

and tallest building.

Count on high society to flock

to Oswald Cobblepot's...

very exclusive

opening night celebration.

This is Car 409-er

with our second sweep of Sector 12.

Go ahead, 409. What's your status?

All clear from up here, dispatch.

Re-engaging for another pass.

Roger that, 409.

Hey, you see him tonight?

Sorry, not tonight.

We've got no sign of the Batman.

All right. You let me know

if you see him, will you?

Yes, Alfred?

I have a question

that simply will not wait, sir.

Which is?

I was inquiring as to what suit

Bruce Wayne...

might need pressed

for his meetings tomorrow.

And that couldn't wait?

These are the things that keep me up

at night, Master Bruce.

Hey, Max, you got plans tonight?

Me and Charlie were gonna

grab a burger. You down?

No, headed home for a shower.

I'm getting ripe inside this tin can.

Yeah, you and me both... Whoa!

Was there anything else, Alfred?

I was inquiring how much longer

your patrol would go this evening.

You see, I've made coq au vin.

Looks like I'll be late.

I've got work to do.

That doesn't belong to you.

What the heck was...? Whoa.

- It's Batman.

- Hey, look it's Batman.

- Oh, do you see that? It's him.

- Oh, Batman! Oh, wow!

Hey, there he goes.

- What was he doing?

- Did you see that?

Looks like someone skipped

their catnap to swipe some jewels.

Pretty, shiny, and sparkling.

All my favorite things.

Hold it right there, Catwoman.

Cheetah?

What's the problem, Nightwing?

Gotham only big enough for one cat-lady?

You'll make me insecure.

Why? You should know by now

that nobody likes a cheetah.

Oh.

Come over here

and we can hiss and make up.

All right. Since you're new in town,

I'll make this fast.

Boy, you don't know fast.

What pretty eyes you have.

Perhaps I'll keep them.

Shocking, right? You know, it's okay

if you just want to surrender now.

You didn't really think

I came all by myself, did you?

Killer Croc? Oh, boy.

Aw, you started without me?

I'm a class act.

I can't spend all night waiting for you

to haul your scaly butt up out of the sewer.

Yeah? Well, go clean yourself as I finish

the job you should have been doing.

- Nightwing, you know Croc.

- Oh, yeah. We've met.

You've thickened up though, haven't you?

You know, maybe you should cut out

snacks before bed.

That's it.

Finish the mission.

I'll take care of him.

That'll work.

I figured you'd want that back.

It's done.

Let's scram before Batman shows up.

Leaving?

But I just got here.

Flash.

Great, what are you doing here?

I've been tracking Croc since he robbed

the Central City copper quarry last week.

He's everywhere.

I got hit harder than I thought.

I'm seeing five of you.

It's cool, right?

Nope, not even a little.

I don't need your help.

I was doing fine.

Is that why you tripped the alarm?

With me here, we could wrap this up quickly.

I didn't think it was possible

but you're even uglier up close.

That's nothing compared to the smell.

When's the last time you bathed?

I get it. You're a giant walking talking

crocodile but have some standards, man.

It kind of tickles. How's about this?

We never finished our dance.

- Gone.

- Anyone here?

Nope. Not here either.

How about here? Nada. No.

- Yeah, they're gone, all right.

- Batman should know about this.

- That was a weird team-up, wasn't it?
