Batman: The Brave and the Bold (2008) s01e10 Episode Script
The Eyes of Despero!
- The library of infinity, Containing all the knowledge of human experience, The history of the entire cosmos.
And now it shall all be mine.
Not even the protectors Can stand against the sorcery of wotan! - Sorry, But your library card's expired.
- Dr.
Fate, And I see you brought a friend.
How unfortunate For both of you.
- Uhh! - Wotan is unimaginably powerful.
Even the helmet of dr.
Fate May not be enough to protect us from him.
- It's not the helmet, doc, it's the man beneath it.
I'll deal with them.
You take wotan.
Hunh! Uhh! - [grunting.]
- Without your helmet, fate, You are defenseless.
Ha ha ha ha ha-- Uhh! Gaah! Uhh! Unh! - I'd call those boxing lessons I got from bats A pretty good defense.
- Told you.
It's not the helmet, it's the man.
- Maybe.
But I prefer helmets to haymakers any day.
- So, this is the legendary green lantern corps.
- [grunting and shouting.]
- How unbearably pathetic.
- What's pathetic, despero, Is a tyrant like you thinking you can turn the corps Into your own personal army.
Unh! - Fools! - [shouting.]
And your masters, the guardians of the universe, Will be next.
- The guardians have been moved to a safe place.
Which is more than I can say for you.
- Submit to me willingly, jordan, And together we will bring forth a golden age Unlike any ever seen before.
- You mean an age of servitude, Where every individual is just an extension of your mind? No, thanks.
And I won't let you use the corps Against the rest of the universe.
- Rrrghh! - In brightest day, in blackest night, No evil shall escape my sight.
Let those who worship evil's might Beware my power, green lantern's light! - So, jordan chose to destroy himself and the corps Rather than leave them in my power.
A minor annoyance requiring a minor change in plans.
- Batman! If thou thinkest thou can stop me, Then have at me! - [thinking.]
somewhere shakespeare is spinning in his grave.
- Thou art no match for the cavalier.
[clang.]
Witty rogue, daring thief-- - Delusional fool.
- Uhh! Ooh! [siren, tires screeching.]
- Oh, uh, green lantern headquarters.
[howling.]
- That can't be good.
[howling.]
- Ah, shut your furry yap, will ya! - Hey, but I'm singing.
- Well, knock it off before I rip your tonsils Right out of your throat! - [thinking.]
I'd know that obnoxious voice anywhere.
- Grrr - Guy gardner.
- What are you doin' here? - Apparently rescuing you.
- We don't need no rescue, And I could've got us out anytime.
And beside-- Hey, that ring! Hunh! Give it over.
- Easy, guy.
- That's g.
L.
Corps property, And you ain't g.
L.
Corps.
- Back away, gardner.
Now.
Sinestro, Green lantern of space sector 1417.
Lowest crime rate in the known galaxies.
- Why are you 3 locked up in the brig? - This morning, gardner had what you humans would call a hissy fit When the cafeteria chef gave him poached eggs instead of scrambled.
- Rraahh! - Aah! - Whoa, oh, oh! - As for myself, I was on a mission To protect a pacifist world from the warlords of okara.
The guardians accused me of using force After the okarans had surrendered.
- Did you? - Yes.
The warlords are well-known for striking Once their opponents' guard is down.
Sometimes we have to bend the rules to protect the innocent.
Something you surely understand.
- [muttering and growling.]
Huh? - And you are? - G'nort esplanade g'neeshmacher, Green lantern of space sector x minus 526-.
-2.
Ow! [whimpers.]
- Yeah, go ahead.
Tell him why you're in the brig.
- WhyI came down to bring him lunch And, uh, I locked myself in.
- Whatever the reasons, you're all behind bars.
It saved you from the fate that befell the others.
- Aah! - Aah! - Despero-- The most dangerous humanoid in the galaxy.
- Well, thanks for stopping by, bats.
- I'm coming along.
And I get the feeling I'm going to need More than a bat-a-rang against this guy.
- Hey! No way I'm letting you wear that ring! - I'm afraid one who's not of the corps Cannot wear the power ring.
But that doesn't mean we can't use our rings To augment you.
Now.
- [thinking.]
cool.
- Ooh! - Yii! - Your power suit will respond to your will, Much as our rings do.
- Nice.
Now let's get moving.
We need to make double-time.
- Wait a minute.
Who died and left you in charge? - I put myself in charge.
Got a problem with that? - Yeah, I do.
- Your poor attitude annoys me.
- Oh, do you want a piece of me, too? - The freedom of the entire universe is on the line, And our first duty is to the innocent people We've sworn to protect and serve.
- You're right.
Of course.
- The more we fight, the farther away despero gets.
- Actually, I'm closer than you think.
Look upon my magnificence, The fullness of my power.
Do you see now why there's no hope? - Wowzer! That boy's had a real growth spurt.
- The universe needs control.
You of all men must understand that.
- Ok, guy, you and g'nort take the left flank.
Sinestro and I will take-- - Eat my toenail clippings.
- Don't worry, mr.
Batman, sir, I'll take the left flank.
Um, uh, which way's left? - Gaah! - On my command.
Fire! - Aah! - I knew I should've charged this sucker.
Yuhh! Yuhh! - How did he ever get into the corps? - An influential uncle pulled a few strings.
- At least I can count on one man on this team.
- The armor and the ring work on the same principle.
It's all about will.
Focus that and there's no limit to what I-- We can do.
- Rrahh! - You two are dangerous.
Aah! - You did it! You did it! My hero! [slurp.]
- No licking.
- Something's wrong.
An illusion.
He was never here.
- Why should I be there When my mind is powerful enough To reach out and do the work for me? While you 3 have been battling dreams, I draw closer to my goal-- The green lantern who will be my greatest, My ultimate weapon.
- I thought you were the only lanterns left.
- There is one green lantern who wasn't on oa.
- Hokey smokes, he's goin' after mogo.
Batman: Mogo? - Mogo is a living planet, And if despero has gained control of it, There may be no hope left for any of us.
- Now to remake mogo in my own image.
- There it is, mogo-- The planet exudar, An inhabited world.
Billions of minds for me to absorb.
[all gasp.]
- Surrender to the wonder, to the glory That is despero.
And now for our next target, Space sector 2814 and the planet earth, Home to a vast array of super-powered beings That I can bend to my will.
- We can still stop despero.
But you and g'nort are going to have to follow my orders To the letter.
- We're doomed.
- Now, look, bats, You can hatch all the plans you want, But from here on in, guy gardner's working alone.
- You so much as sneeze without my permission, You're going to regret it.
- That I'd like to see! - One punch! One punch! - Get him on his feet.
- Just for the record, I let you do that.
So what's the plan? - Our only hope is to drain all the power from mogo's lantern Into one of your rings.
- Take the weapon out of despero's hands? Huh.
Clever.
- Sinestro, you fly ahead and place a protective shield Around earth.
I'll keep despero busy.
And, gardner, You do the same thing with mogo.
- Yeah, got it.
- While mogo and despero are distracted, You'll have the simplest but most important task.
- Guard this asteroid? - Drain mogo's power battery into your ring.
- Huh? - I don't know if I can do this, Mr.
Batman, sir.
Everybody knows I'm just a screw-up.
Maybe somebody else had better.
- There isn't anyone else.
- But my ringy-ding ain't got much power left.
It's not the ring, it's the man.
- I'mNot exactly a man.
But, hey, if a guy like you has got faith in me, Then I'll give it my best shot.
- Mogo! Despero's making a chump out of you.
Uhh! Unh! Yaah! Uhh! - There it is! Mogo's battery.
Ok, ok, All I gotta do is say the oath And save the world.
I can't remember it! Ohh! No, no, sure I can.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I got it.
In sunniest day, in cloudiest night, No bad guy shall escape my bite.
Oh, no, that's not it! - Uhh! - [groans.]
[ticking.]
What are you doing here? You're supposed to be protecting the earth.
- That's exactly what I'm doing.
I have no intention of allowing despero To take control of the universe, And I refuse to leave its fate In the hands of incompetent fools like you and g'nort.
That's why I'm gonna blow mogo to bits.
- Mogo? He's a living being, a green lantern.
What about g'nort? If mogo blows, then that dumb mutt's finished, too.
- Extraordinary.
The troglodyte actually has feelings.
- I get it.
Desperate times, desperate measures.
But all we gotta do to take down despero Is let g'nort do his job.
Unh! - Why does that not fill me with confidence? [grunting.]
- You are a most impressive human, But don't you realize there's no way You and your motley crew can defeat me? - Gardner is a loose cannon, ruled by his ego.
The dog is an idiot.
And sinestro-- - Is the one man I can completely depend on.
- Would you care to hear the full story Behind sinestro's imprisonment? I learned your comrade Not only attacked the okaran warlords After they'd surrendered, He callously destroyed every living being on those ships, After which he created a puppet government, Loyal only to him, On the very world he was sworn to protect.
Sinestro and I both seek to impose order On a chaotic, meaningless universe.
He will be a wonderful soldier in my cause.
As will you.
- [grunting.]
You can't do this.
You're one of us.
- I was never one of you.
I have always stood alone, above the rabble.
- Guhh! [groans.]
- Are you that desperate to prove what a great hero you are? - It ain't about me.
It's about mogo And g'nort And earth! - Unh! - Ohh Ah! On labor day, on Halloween night, No nose hair shall escape my sight.
- [grunting.]
UhhhAhh! - How? - Uhh! - They tell me it's all about will.
And believe me, will's one thing I've got plenty of.
- I am despero, And I will peel your mind apart! [grunting.]
- [muttering.]
On arbor day or harvest moon, No weasel shall escape my spoon? - [grunting.]
[crunch.]
- Uhh! - Uhh! - Unh! - Heh.
You didn't think I was above fighting dirty, did you? - Hang on, I forgot about my cheat sheet.
In brightest day, in blackest night, No evil shall escape my sight.
Let those who worship evil's might Beware my power, green lantern's light! - Get out Of my head! - Uhh! Gaahh! - Thanks, mogo.
You were allIn the ring? - And sent to you for safekeeping.
I had a hunch you'd have the will power To get us out of this mess.
- If it wasn't for me, Earth would have been kaput.
Heck, the whole universe would have been toast.
- Gardner.
Good job, guy.
- Yeah.
Yeah, you, too.
- So, what did you end up doing with sinestro? - Oh, don't worry about him.
He's in a safe place.
Hate to say it, But you made a pretty good lantern out there.
- Thanks.
But it there's one lantern here who deserves the credit It's g'nort.
[all cheering.]
- Ha ha! [slurp.]
- G'nort, I told you, No licking.
- [slurp.]

Fate May not be enough to protect us from him.

I'll deal with them.
You take wotan.
Hunh! Uhh! - [grunting.]
