Deep Cover for Batman!

- My comrades have been captured, But I have eluded our hated enemies, And now, after one final test of my phase oscillator, I will use a wormhole to find allies on a parallel earth. Good. It made it to the other side. Dimensional wave is holding steady. [creak] Huh? - You'd have to be crazy not to be nervous - With all of us after you. - Declaration Hand us the phase oscillator, Or force will be required. - Oh, I believe force will definitely be required. Hahh! - I got this loser. - Uhh! No! - Hey! - You break it, I break you. Got it? - The phase oscillator is undamaged, Which is more than I can say for you. - Aah! - I'm disappointed, hood. After the makeover I gave you, I thought you would have wised up by now. - Sorry. I guess I'll always be a little screw-loose. - Forget red hood. We have what we came for. Owlman, blue bowman, scarlet scarab, With this, we can reach other worlds, Infinite earths parallel to our own. - Then a new frontier is open for business, silver cyclone, And the injustice syndicate is about to stage a hostile takeover. - Yes, commissioner. With the riddler's crossword crime spree thwarted, Gotham city can breathe easy once again. [bats squeak] Strange. - Huhh! - Huhh! So red hood was going to a batman for help. But maybe this will ring yours. - You're slipping, batman. Owls see better in t t dark than bats. - Actually, that's what I'm counting on. - Aah! [groans] - [thinking] a bridge to parallel earths explains a lot. Owlman's a parallel me, An evil one. But why is he here? - Questioning me is a waste of time. This bird won't sing. - Your silence only forces me to take [cracks knuckles] Stronger measures. - Suit yourself. - Precisely. - Where are you going? - To get answers. - Does that mean the dingus works as advertisese - [thinking] the resemblance to my friends is uncanny, Like looking into a funhou m mirror Of evil. - Enough with the suspense. When do we pencil in the invasion? - Bad news. That world is far too dangerous to invade. Everyone there has powers. - Which would explain red hood's futile attempt to seek help there. - We need to rethink our plan. - You're the boss. - [thinking] something tells me it's not going to be this easy. - Then since plan "a" not viable, We move on to plan "b. " - [thinking] I hate it when I'm right. - Plan "b"? But, guys, you can't be serious about using cyclone's bomb To wipe out their entire planet. - And why not? - Because after that, What other crime could possibly taste as sweet? - The fate of their world will serve as a warning to all others-- Surrender or be destroyed. - There's not a simpler way to do this? - Declaration: To rid that other earth's human infestation, My bomb requires our world's sole sample of promethium 90, Thus the need for our raid on the nuclear laboratory. - What are you worried about anyway, owlman? It's not like there's anyone to stop us. - I'm worried I'm gonna have to pick up your slack, Like I always do. [thinking] a world without heroes. - [yelling] - My worst nightmare. - Whaah! - The heroes aren't coming. - Injustice syndicate represent. Feel free to scream. - [yelling] - Fun later. First the job. - Uhh! [promethium 90 pulsating] - The promethium 90. - I'll get it. - Instruction: You mustn't break the container, Or the isotope will be useless. - [thinking] it looks like I just got an easy way to end this. [aloud] I'm the boss. I'll get it. You watch the door in case any guards get stupid. - I heard you gentlemen were having a party. Mind if I crash it? - [thinking] so much for a world without heroes, But his timing couldn't be worse. Stay down, or they'll kill you. I'm here to help. - You, help me? Is that some kind of sick joke? - It's what you invited me here for, isn't it? - You're from the parallel world. - Here. Put this on. It's a bat-communicator. - Be warned. I'm not much to look at. - I'm sorry, hood. - For what? - For this. - Unh! - Mission accomplished. - You sure took hood down easily back there. - Easier than you would have. So where are we keeping him? - Where do you think? With the other heroes. - Of course. I knew that. - Hey, what's up with you? You've been acting strange Ever since you came back from your trip. - Question me again, and I'll do worse. Do you understand? - Loud and clear, fearless leader. You there? Something's off with owlman. I wanna know what he's hiding. Stick close. - Proclamation: Before our plan is set in motion, You will tell us if you left any surprises for us in this other world. - What? Don't like surprises? [screaming] Ha ha ha ha ha ha! It tickles. - Observation: Your spirit is stronger than most humans'. Even when we found your hideout in the ace chemical plant, You fought valiantly. Ultimately, it was a futile gesture. - No. No! No! Aaaah! - But your psyche, though bent, Did not break when faced with horrible disfigurement. - [chuckling] [laughs] - You even managed to rally a pathetic ragtag group of heroes In a final stand against the injustice syndicate. - [yelling] [weapons fire] - And then, when all your allies fell, You still believed that you could somehow save this world. But all humans can be broken,, And I intend to break you. - [screaming] - Interrogative: Tell me what you know. - Stay strong, soldier. The fate of both our worlds hangs in the balance. But if he wants you to talk, then talk. - Just tell me what you want from me. - Excellent. - Be ready to make your move. I found a way to free you and the other heroes. - I wouldn't touch that if I were you. - Huhh! - [groans] I know owlman. Owlman is a friend of mine. You're no owlman. - Red hood, change in plans. I'm coming to you, but I need directions. - I'll tell you whatever I can. - Yes, you will. - I'm in a long, curving corridor On the 50th floor, northeast sector. - What was your plan to defeat us? - There were just 5 steps left, But then you found me, and the plan went south. - 5 steps to the left. Then turn south. Got it. - And not just south. We're talking right into a huge mess. - [beeping] - Totally. The others don't know what I'm capable of. But one day, I'll show them. I've got the true heart of a hero. - [thinking] hero? A possible ally? - I keep it in a big jar at the back of my closet. - Details. I require details. - Hood, I'm in the mess hall. Now where? - Fine. But let me catch my breath. I'm really exhausted. - Exhausted? Exhaust port. - Observation: Left, right, south. Your responses contain A statistically improbable number of these words. Keeping me distracted As you pass coded instructions to your ally. - [screaming] - Computer, locate owlman. Result: Ventilation shaft. - End of the line, hero. - So, bowman, you prefer your owls roasted or fried? [running footsteps] - Up there! - Well, owlman o onot, He's a dead duck now. - Who is this guy? - I'm batman. - Please tell me there are more of you on the other world. - Lots. - Declaration You are outnumbered. - Observation: Not for long. [alarm sounding] [alarm stops] - [gasps] - Raah! - Huhh-- - [growls] humph. [growls] - [groans] - [screams] [both groan] - You lose, robot. - Not quite. That will only set it off. - Open the wormhole, cyclone. Destroy batman's world. - Unfortunately the phase oscillator Is no longer in my possession. - Well, then deactivate it before it blows us all to bits. - Revelation: Your concern for all of us is misplaced. The bomb only irradiates organic tissue. - You backstabbing-- - Robot? It's true. I do hate all humans. Whichever world is destroyed, I look forwardrdo an empty planet to call my own. - Who's broken now, cyclone? - Ready? - Ready. - Where to? - Earth 161, Zombie planet. Can't be killed. - You started something today, A brave, bold new era in crime-fighting. - Whoever he is, I hope my counterpart on your world Will have a chance to repay you. - Somehow, that seems unlikely. Oh, and expect an owlman-shaped package momentarily. [wormhole crackles] [thinking] gotham. There's no place like-- [helicopter] [sirens] - Hands up, batman! You're under arrest!
