The Bat.
187
00:13:24,804 --> 00:13:28,074
Sir, a stranger in the Batcave?
188
00:13:28,208 --> 00:13:30,043
Tonight, we'll make
an exception.
189
00:13:30,143 --> 00:13:33,246
Oh, my, chap
could use a dentist.
190
00:13:33,379 --> 00:13:35,181
Or a medic.
191
00:13:35,415 --> 00:13:37,217
Right, then.
192
00:13:38,749 --> 00:13:40,749
Reporter over broadcast:
Chief Rojas, any suspects yet
193
00:13:40,820 --> 00:13:43,122
in this bizarre Jack-in-the-box
hostage incident?
194
00:13:43,223 --> 00:13:45,658
Rojas: I'm not at liberty
to reveal whom.
195
00:13:45,758 --> 00:13:47,794
But I feel confident
our best detectives
196
00:13:47,894 --> 00:13:49,729
are closing in on him
as we speak.
197
00:13:49,862 --> 00:13:51,097
[broadcast clicks off]
198
00:13:51,197 --> 00:13:55,268
And Gotham Gator fan
Bruce Wayne with nary an alibi.
199
00:13:55,368 --> 00:13:56,569
How's our patient?
200
00:13:56,669 --> 00:13:59,138
Despite the ghastly grimace,
fit as a fiddle.
201
00:13:59,239 --> 00:14:01,741
Poor fellow simply
a prisoner in his own body.
202
00:14:01,841 --> 00:14:03,209
[doorbell buzzes]
203
00:14:03,343 --> 00:14:05,011
A sample of Joker's gas
204
00:14:05,111 --> 00:14:07,614
is our only hope
of deriving an antidote.
205
00:14:07,747 --> 00:14:10,950
I need to find it
before this madman
206
00:14:11,050 --> 00:14:14,487
puts a permanent smile
on all of Gotham.
207
00:14:16,089 --> 00:14:18,458
Smile, Gotham!
208
00:14:18,758 --> 00:14:21,094
My old hideout's a shambles.
209
00:14:23,363 --> 00:14:27,600
If I find the old hideout,
I find this Joker.
210
00:14:27,700 --> 00:14:29,936
Master Bruce,
someone to see you.
211
00:14:30,036 --> 00:14:31,804
Who is it, Alfred?
212
00:14:33,606 --> 00:14:35,642
The police.
213
00:14:43,516 --> 00:14:46,552
Detective, uh,
am I under arrest?
214
00:14:46,986 --> 00:14:48,454
Yo, Bruce!
215
00:14:48,554 --> 00:14:50,290
Hey, Ethan.
216
00:14:50,390 --> 00:14:52,125
Where you been, my friend?
217
00:14:52,225 --> 00:14:54,761
Master Bruce was at
the Gator game last night.
218
00:14:55,595 --> 00:14:56,996
Speaking of,
219
00:14:57,096 --> 00:14:59,532
I thought we were all set to
shoot some hoops last week.
220
00:14:59,632 --> 00:15:03,002
Ah, I've been buried,
Ethan, 24/7.
221
00:15:04,470 --> 00:15:06,639
So, why the sudden visit?
222
00:15:06,873 --> 00:15:09,709
Just needed to talk to someone.
223
00:15:09,942 --> 00:15:12,211
Other than the guys
at the station, I mean.
224
00:15:12,478 --> 00:15:14,347
This is gonna
sound weird, Bruce.
225
00:15:14,447 --> 00:15:16,149
But last night,
226
00:15:16,883 --> 00:15:18,484
I saw the Batman.
227
00:15:18,584 --> 00:15:19,986
[porcelain shatters]
228
00:15:20,253 --> 00:15:22,021
Only a ming.
229
00:15:22,522 --> 00:15:24,557
So, he's for real?
230
00:15:24,891 --> 00:15:26,159
What's he look like?
231
00:15:26,259 --> 00:15:27,960
A dude like you or me.
232
00:15:28,194 --> 00:15:30,129
Except he wears batjamas.
233
00:15:31,331 --> 00:15:32,832
Tough part's this, Bruce.
234
00:15:32,932 --> 00:15:35,601
I really believe the
Bat's helping Gotham.
235
00:15:35,702 --> 00:15:38,071
Even if he is on the
wrong side of the law.
236
00:15:38,171 --> 00:15:39,706
But he's getting a bad rap,
237
00:15:39,806 --> 00:15:42,642
and the heat's on me
to take him down.
238
00:15:45,178 --> 00:15:47,447
Looks like a clown hideout.
239
00:15:53,386 --> 00:15:56,923
Stop me if you heard
this one before, Batman.
240
00:15:57,090 --> 00:16:00,593
There were these two fellows in
an abandoned party favor factory.
241
00:16:00,693 --> 00:16:02,495
One says to the other...
242
00:16:02,595 --> 00:16:04,697
Where are you
keeping the gas, Joker?
243
00:16:04,797 --> 00:16:06,599
You call that a punch line?
244
00:16:06,699 --> 00:16:08,768
I don't share
your sense of humor.
245
00:16:08,868 --> 00:16:10,937
Yet we're linked, you and I.
246
00:16:11,037 --> 00:16:13,239
Like comedy and tragedy.
247
00:16:13,339 --> 00:16:16,042
Two sides, same coin.
248
00:16:16,142 --> 00:16:21,013
The gas, Joker, or I vow I will
turn your smile upside-down.
249
00:16:21,147 --> 00:16:23,583
If it's gas you want...
250
00:16:28,755 --> 00:16:31,858
Place all tray tables
in their upright positions.
251
00:16:32,825 --> 00:16:35,595
[maniacal laughter]
252
00:16:40,299 --> 00:16:41,934
- What is that?
- Ahh.
253
00:16:42,068 --> 00:16:43,336
It looks like a balloon.
254
00:16:43,436 --> 00:16:46,773
Smiles, people.
Smiles!
255
00:16:47,140 --> 00:16:49,809
The balloon's filled
with Joker Gas.
256
00:16:50,076 --> 00:16:52,111
And he's gonna pop it...
257
00:16:52,979 --> 00:16:55,047
Over Gotham.
258
00:17:05,224 --> 00:17:07,827
A balloon downtown
this time of year?
259
00:17:07,927 --> 00:17:09,562
- That's--
- Crazy?
260
00:17:09,695 --> 00:17:11,197
I'll drive.
261
00:17:15,868 --> 00:17:17,904
[laughing]
262
00:17:19,105 --> 00:17:23,409
If you're loving me, wait
till you get a load of my pop.
263
00:17:33,753 --> 00:17:35,288
Stop this thing, Joker.
264
00:17:35,388 --> 00:17:37,223
With what brakes?
265
00:17:41,527 --> 00:17:44,063
[siren, tires screeching]
266
00:17:46,065 --> 00:17:47,500
It's the Batman.
267
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,069
And he's pummeling a clown.
268
00:17:50,436 --> 00:17:51,904
Aah!
269
00:17:53,573 --> 00:17:55,541
The Jack-in-the-box, Yin.
270
00:17:55,775 --> 00:17:58,911
What if clowny's the one
behind the Arkham incident?
271
00:17:59,011 --> 00:18:00,780
Explain the missing orderly.
272
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:02,648
Maybe Bats took him 'cause--
273
00:18:02,882 --> 00:18:05,284
I don't know. The guy
needed help or something.
274
00:18:05,384 --> 00:18:07,420
Fair enough.
We're chasing two perps --
275
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,590
One's a criminal.
The other's still a vigilante.
276
00:18:14,627 --> 00:18:16,596
Watch your pinkies.
277
00:18:23,569 --> 00:18:25,838

East. Gotham Bay.
279
00:18:36,315 --> 00:18:39,685
You have made me
one very sad clown!
280
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:42,455
Where'd you go?
281
00:18:42,555 --> 00:18:43,856
Knock-knock.
282
00:18:43,956 --> 00:18:46,392
Who's there?
283
00:19:37,276 --> 00:19:39,445
My precious gas...
284
00:19:39,512 --> 00:19:42,782
Passed by a party pooper.
285
00:19:44,250 --> 00:19:47,286
I had a different
punch line in mind.
286
00:19:56,262 --> 00:19:58,497
Well, we can take the clown in.
287
00:19:58,598 --> 00:20:01,233
I know you love to swim.
288
00:20:02,268 --> 00:20:05,905
Alfred, move our houseguest
out of the Batcave and prep the lab.
289
00:20:06,038 --> 00:20:08,474
I have an antidote to whip up.
290
00:20:12,745 --> 00:20:14,947
Steiner, check.
291
00:20:15,081 --> 00:20:17,450
McSwain, check.
292
00:20:17,550 --> 00:20:20,720
223 -- new arrival.
293
00:20:21,220 --> 00:20:22,788
Check.
294
00:20:24,457 --> 00:20:27,259
They all said I
was sick in the head.
295
00:20:27,360 --> 00:20:29,929
They said I needed help.
296
00:20:30,062 --> 00:20:32,865
Well, maybe I am a bit batty.
297
00:20:33,032 --> 00:20:36,535
Blame it on the bats
in my belfry.
