[Batmobile reading]
[MOE] All right, Batwheels,
I have a little twist
for today's training.
I'm gonna pretend
to be a supervillain.
So get ready for Evil MOE,
and the MOE-nopoly of drones.
[laughs maliciously]
Fly, my dronies!
There's too many!
Ugh! I can't shake 'em.
Hang on, I'm coming.
[groans] Never mind.
Ah. We need help.
-[tires screech]
-I got you, Batwheels!
[all] Bam!
Bam! Justice on patrol ♪
Yeah!
Stop him, my dronies! [cackles]
[Bibi] Yeah!
Ha! Your drones
don't scare me, Evil MOE.
Bam, Bam ♪
No! My drones!
My evil plan's ruined!
Oh, what a world! What a world!
[clanking]
Good job, Batwheels.
More like, "Good job, Bam."
He's not afraid of anything.
Our fearless leader
does it again.
Aw, thanks everyone.
-[gasps]
-[Bibi] The lights.
-[Batmobile] Oh, what happened?
-[Bibi] I can't see.
-[Batmobile screams]
-[Redbird] Who said that?
That was weird.
Right, Bam? Bam?
Um, yep, I was, uh,
just making sure
everything was okay in here.
And it's all good.
Hmm. I think we lost power.
I'll ask Batcomputer
what's going on.
Wait for me, MOE.
We're running on backup power
here in the Batcave,
but the lights are out
all over the city.
[both gasp]
Someone has stolen
the power core
from Gotham Electric.
If we don't get it back,
the entire city
will be stuck in the dark.
Stuck in the dark?
Prep Bam for Batman.
[MOE] On it.
[Batmobile sighs]
Are you sure he wants me
to go out there?
I get to go out with him
all the time.
Maybe someone else should have
all that fun this time.
Nah, you got this.
You're the team leader,
and it's not like you're scared
of the dark or anything.
Who, me? No way.
I'm not scared.
I just think I'm, uh
I'm getting sick.
[coughs]
What?
Haven't you heard
of getting "car sick"?
Hmm. Your hood
doesn't feel hot.
You're in tip-top condition.
There's no reason
you can't go out there.
Thanks, MOE. [sighs]
Thanks a lot.
Is the Batmobile ready?
You betcha, or you bat-cha.
[laughing] Get it?
[Batman groans]
Well, well, well,
if it isn't Gotham's
Dark Knight
enjoying a dark night
in Gotham.
[laughing]
Poison Ivy. I should've known.
Give up the power core.
The power core is not for me.
It's for my
electricity-eating vines.
It's what makes them grow.
I call them
Hold on, you're going
to love this
My power plants.
[laughs maliciously]
[groans]
Why does every villain
love puns?
You really need to lighten up.
Oh, wait, you can't,
because I put
all of Gotham in the dark.
[laughs]
Wait, where's Batman going?
He can't just leave me here
in the dark.
Okay, just
Just try to stay calm.
Batman will catch Poison Ivy
and turn the lights back on.
-[thuds]
-[yelps] What's that sound?
-[cat meowing]
-[Batmobile sighs] Phew.
Just a cat.
I'm all right.
There's nothing to worry about.
[screams] Something touched me.
[screaming]
[screaming continues]
[tires screech]
I see you're all
hanging out in here.
Cool, cool, cool.
Bam, is everything all right?
I just wanted to,
uh, stretch my wheels.
[grunting]
Okay. What's
really going on, Bam?
Yeah, there's
something up with you.
Come on, you can tell us.
Okay.
I'm I'm kind of, uh,
afraid of the dark.
[Bibi] What?
That's impossible!
You always fight
crime at night.
But there's usually
lights on everywhere,
so it's not scary.
Why didn't you say
anything before?
I'm supposed to be
your fearless leader.
I can't be scared.
Being scared
doesn't make you
a bad leader, Bam.
Yeah, we're all afraid
of something.
[chuckles] Except me.
-Caterpillars.
-[yelps] Ew! Where?
Get 'em off!
Get 'em off! Get 'em off!
Thanks. Knowing I'm not
the only one
afraid of something
does make me feel better.
We're your friends, Bam.
We'll always be here for you.
That's right.
And we can give you
some snazzy new gadgets
to help you manage in the dark.
Yeah, Bam. I can lend you
my super-bright bulbs
for your high beams.
And my night vision.
You can borrow my Bat-sonar.
It'll tell you
where things are,
even in the dark.
And I'll give you
my neon lights.
What do they do?
Nothing. But they look cool.
Hold on.
You don't need
to give up your gadgets.
I've got plenty of them
in my vault. Come on.
When the streetlights
All go out ♪
Imagination starts ♪
Inventing all the monsters ♪
That go lurking in the dark ♪
There's no fear
You cannot face ♪

So, how do you feel?
Better.
I guess. I'm ready.
Go, fearless leader!
Yeah, rev up and peel out!
[Bibi] You got this!
[Batmobile] Whoa, night vision.
[gasps]
High beams!
This new tech is amazing.
I can see everything
in the dark.
Huh?
Ah, it's those power plants!
I forgot they eat electricity.
[power plants giggling]
Hey, hey, stop it!
Shoo, shoo! Get away!
No. They drained all the power
to my new gadgets.
[power plants hum]
Time to leaf!
Batcomputer, send the Batmobile
to cut Ivy off
at the Novick Tunnel.
The Novick Tunnel?
But my new gadgets
aren't working.
I'd have to go all that way
in the dark.
Nobody knows these streets
as well as you do, Bam.
But how do I know
what's out there?
There's nothing
there in the dark
that isn't there
when the lights are on.
It's the very same city
you know so well.
You can do this, Bam.
You're right. Okay. Here I go.
I know these streets.
I know where everything is.
Like this pothole!
And this sharp turn.
There's a construction
zone here.
Bam, Bam ♪
[Batmobile] It is
all the same stuff
that's out here
when the lights are on.
I don't have
to be afraid of the dark.
Here I come, Batman.
Whoo-hoo! Yeah!
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
All right.
Whoo-hoo!
[laughing] Yeah!
Who would've thought
you'd be so acro-bat-tic?
Bats are at their best
in the dark.
[grunts]
You may think
you're winning, Batman,
but I have an entire army
of power plants
back in my greenhouse.
When I unleash them,
Gotham will be
in darkness forever!
No. There's always a Batmobile
at the end of the tunnel.
[Poison Ivy] What?
That doesn't make any sense.
Didn't you mean
to say [yelps]
[tires screech]
Huh. Looks like
your power plants
aren't the only thing
that goes
bump in the night.
[power plants giggling]
[groans] Now you like puns?
They're growing on me.
[groans] Stop it!
They just don't sound right
coming from you.
Sorry to be a thorn
in your side.
[Poison Ivy muttering]
I'm not listening!
Well done, Bam!
You showed the dark who's boss!
You did great!
-Our fear-conquering leader!
-We're so proud of you!
[laughs] Thanks, everyone.
I couldn't have done it
without you.
Well, you can relax now, Bam.
The city will be
lit up again shortly.
There's no rush.
I'm actually
kind of liking it now.
After all, I am the car
of the Dark Knight.
[Redbird in German accent]
"I am Dr. Spy,
the greatest evil genius
the world has ever known."
"And you are?"
[imitating Agent V-8]
"Eight. V-8. Superspy."
"And I've come
to bring you to justice."
[in normal voice]
Wow. Agent V-8 is super cool.
The night is young
and adventure is just
around the corner.
-[Batmobile] Hey, Red.
-[gasps]
[Batmobile] You got a minute?
[Redbird] What's going on?
Well, all the rest
of the Batwheels
have gone on solo
night patrols now. And
[gasps] Is it finally my turn?
[laughs] It sure is.
-You've earned it.
-Yes!
Whoo-hoo! [laughs] Yeah!
Awesome.
All by myself. No backup.
Just me, unafraid
and super cool.
Like Agent V-8.
Congrats, Red.
But, listen, your first
solo mission can be a lot.
So don't be afraid
to ask for help
if you get in over your head.
Are you kidding?
This super-cool superspy
can handle anything.
Superspy?
Can I go right now, BC?
I suppose so.
Yeah! Whoo-hoo!
-[sighs]
-He'll be fine.
I know, but he wants
to prove himself so badly,
he might not ask for help,
even if he needs it.
Agent V-8, the superspy,
continues his search
for the world's
greatest evil genius.
[gasps]
Who is that?
[man] And one for you
And what's he doing
to that scooter?
[man] And one for you,
one for you.
[giggling maniacally]
-[clanging]
-[air whooshes]
[man giggles] Yes.
Hey, he can't just leave
a mess like that.
[lights beeping]
[engines revving]
[metal squeaking]
V-8 is hot on the trail
of the super-evil
scooter-knocker-downer.
Unafraid, he puts
the pedal to the metal and
[gasps] That's weird.
[metal clangs]
Where are your riders?
Can you hear me? Hello?
I was just gonna find
that guy who knocked you over.
-[engines revving]
-[gasps]
[chuckles nervously]
[Redbird screams]
Hey, stop chasing me.
I'm on your side.
[Redbird screams]
[crashes]
[scooter squeaking]
[scooter honking]
Aw, man.
A real superspy wouldn't
have gotten chased off
by a bunch of scooters.
That was so embarrassing.
Agent V-8 wouldn't have gotten
scared and run away.
He would've, he would've
[dings]
had spy gadgets.
That's what I need,
spy gadgets.
[MOE] Someone
is stealing scooters?
Maybe you should
tell the others.
But it's just a scooter thief.
And a superspy
wouldn't need help
to catch a scooter thief.
I can do this, MOE.
I just have to be
more like Agent V-8.
Cool and confident
with spy gadgets.
Oh! We're playing spies.
I see your point, V-8.
I think I have exactly
the type of spy gadgets
you might need, old chap.
Awesome.
[gadget hums]
It's a Holo-disguise.
This will make you look
like an ordinary taxicab.
-[Redbird] Cool.
-I'm just warming up, V-8.
Okay, try the next gadget.
[MOE sputtering]
And now,
turn on your headlights.
It's a secret tracking spray.
I call it
Secret Tracking Spray.
Spray it on any vehicle
and it'll leave
a trail you can follow.
Extra cool.
And a smoke screen
to cover your escapes.
[coughing] Ooh.
Extra, extra cool.
These are just what I needed.
Thanks, MOE.
Do try to bring them back
in one piece, V-8.
[Bibi] You sure
everything is okay?
I heard something
about a scooter thief.
That sounds dangerous.
I'm fine, Bibi.
I don't need help.
But if you did,
it would be okay to ask.
I can handle it.
[Bibi sighs]
[Redbird] Applying
Secret Tracking Spray.
Agent V-8 in disguise
and now loaded
with spy gadgets,
lays in wait
for the evil scooter thief
to reappear.
Ah-ha!
[man chuckling]
Yes.
[Redbird] Once again, V-8,
using his fancy gadgetry,
outthinks the bad guy.
Now, it's just a matter
of tracking him to his lair
and taking him down.
Spit spot, another baddie
brought to justice.
[gasps]
[gasps] How many scooters
did this bad guy steal?
There must be
something bigger going on.
This can't be good.
Maybe I should ask Bibi for
No. I can handle this
on my own
just like a superspy would.
[man] Let's see, hmm.
Monocle, check.
Evil cat
check.
[crowd sighs]
It's the Joker again.
[the Joker] Bah,
I'm not the Joker today.
Today, I'm Dr. Joke,
the evil superspy villain.
Cue theme music.
-[funky music playing]
-Okay, what's next?
Hmm, evil speech. Right.
I'm gonna solve
one of mankind's
greatest problems.
Too many people in lines.
Tonight, I intend
to cut in line
as no one has ever cut before.
By getting rid
of everyone else.
[giggling maniacally, farts]
Clear the park, boys.
Supervillains. Always spoiling
a perfectly good day.
Last time, it was Mr. Freeze
-making it snow at the beach.
-[scooters honking]
Oh, dear,
I was really looking forward
to that rollercoaster.
-Oh, what a shame.
-[scooters honking]
The Joker?
Oh, no. And he's got
a whole army of those scooters.
I I can't do this alone.
I've got to get help.
I've got to
Hey, hey, stop that.
Give me some room.
[scooters honking]
[exclaiming] It worked.
[exclaiming]
The park is all mine.
All mine and no lines!
[laughing]
[laughing maniacally]
I've got a license to joke.
[cackling]
[Redbird] I should've listened.
I should have asked for help.
I'm sorry, Bibi.
You were right.
-[Bibi] Say that again.
-[gasps] What?
[Bibi] The part about
me being right.
Say that again.
[gasps] Bibi? Bibi?
[gasps] Is that you?
[giggles] MOE gave me
a Holo-disguise.
It is you.
But how did you find me?
Bat Tracking Spray.
You're not the only one
with gadgets, you know.
I'm so sorry.
I should have listened to you.
Just because we call it
a solo mission,
that doesn't mean you can't
ask for help if you need it.
Boy, did I learn that
the hard way.
So, what do we do now?
I think we should teach these
pushy scooters some manners.
I mean, as long as you
don't mind a little help.
Actually, I think I could
really use a little backup.
Happy to help.
Bat-ball special!
[Bibi whooping]
-[tires screeching]
-[clanging]
[scooters honking]
[Bibi grunting]
[Redbird grunts]
[Redbird grunts]
[exclaiming]
[laughing maniacally]
Oh. Best evil plan ever.
What?
What happened to my scooters?
[scooter horn sputters]
My army!
[groans]
-Oh.
-[toy squeaks]
License to joke revoked.
[sirens approaching]
[the Joker] Wait, I've got it.
-[engine revving]
-[the Joker] Whoo!
Whoa.
No!
[laughs maniacally]
[crowd cheering and applauding]
Yay, whoo-hoo! Let's go.
-[girl] Bye-bye. Joker.
-[man] Let's go.
[woman] And Amusement Mile,
here we come.
Thanks for coming
to help me, Bibi.
[chuckles] Oh, Red.
Don't you know?
I'll always look out for you.
And I'll always
look out for you, too.
[Bibi] I'm counting on it.
[Redbird] So, I guess
I should head home?
[Bibi] It's still
your solo patrol,
-Agent V-8.
-[laughs]
-What do you think?
-I think
[mimicking Agent V-8]
The night is young,
and adventure is just
around the corner.
