I've decided to get out more, have a little fun.

I have the princess! Clear! Oh! Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Aah! Always this popular? Yes.
Although my admirers are usually unarmed.
[gunfire.]
Unh! What happened? Where's the princess? Forget her! We've got to get out of here before Wonder Woman-- [knock knock.]
You give up, right? That was fabulous! I've never seen anyone break a helicopter before! It was my first time.
Well, I can't thank you enough.
I'm supposed to have guards For this sort of thing, you know.
I wouldn't blame them.
Someone went to a lot of trouble to get to you.
Any ideas? I am the princess of Kasnia.
Lots of people in the world don't like Kasnia.
Lots of people in Kasnia don't like Kasnia.
Tell me what you know.
Not tonight, darling.
Still early.
Places to go, parties to crash.
[telephone rings.]
[ring.]
On the other hand, I've never hung out with a superhero before.
Excuse me.
Hello? I just heard the news.
Did they harm you? I'm fine, daddy! They won't get away with this.
I'll have the entire opposition party arrested.
Daddy, no! That's gauche! We have to prove we're better than that.
I will not allow these dissidents to ruin The International Space Station.
You are to return home immediately! Let me stay.
I couldn't be any safer.
Wonder Woman will be with me.
All right.
But I'm doubling your guard.
Take care, precious.
We need to get you some new clothes.
I know a boutique that will open for me If I ask them nicely.
I thought you were going to tell me more About the incident.
No, that's just what I let my father think So I could go clubbing tonight.
Clubbing? Look, I'm getting married soon.
This is my last night in Paris as a free woman.
I'm not really following.
I'm a world-class party girl.
I intend to go out with a bang Several, if it can be arranged.
You coming? [thudding.]
[alarm buzzing.]
[boom.]
Ah! [coughing.]
Oh Who are you working for? Colonel Vox, we've obtained the targeting device.
[computerized voice.]
you don't seem very happy about it.
We lost one of our men.
Batman again? He's getting very close.
He couldn't know our plan.
He's just guessing.
He-- Don't interrupt me when I'm speaking! I'd hate to have to raise my voice.
Sorry, sir.
Still, you're right.
Almost everything's in place.
Batman can't stop the plan.
Even the Justice League can't stop it now.
I hate to admit it, but you're right.
You're going to help me find out Why those men tried to kidnap you? I meant about the dress.
You can get away with scarlet.
I'm serious.
You're still in danger.
Let me help.
You are helping.
I'm having a fabulous time.
Audrey.
I don't know.
A lot of people are upset about all the money We're putting into the International Space Station.
That project's making your father A very popular world leader.
Someone forgot to tell that to the peasants back home.
Anyway, it's my fiancé who's really running the thing.
You haven't said much about him.
What's to say? Arranged marriage to a dreary, much older man.
I'm sorry.
Moi aussi.
But my new life as royal hausfrau Doesn't begin until after the engagement party tomorrow.
Tonight, we dance.
I doubt they'll approve.
As if they have any say.
Excuse me, boys.
Girl talk.
I've been ditching royal guards Since I was knee-high to daddy's throne.
Try and keep up.
Audrey: Taxi, s'il vous plait! [pounding.]
Keep the change! [mumbling.]
[tires squeal.]
Look at the line! We'll never get in.
Ah, but you forget, you're with me.
You know who I am, of course.
Yes, you're with Wonder Woman! Who is that with princess Audrey? He says it's Wonder Woman.
Woman: Is that Wonder Woman? Second man: Wonder Woman? [techno music blaring.]
Audrey! Audrey: Over here! Look what I found! Party favors! Nice.
You want a couple of them? We can go to the V.
I.
P.
Room.
Man: There they are! Over here, doll! Man: Wonder Woman! Over here! Second man: Wonder Woman! Princess Audrey! Look this way! Man: Over here! Would you be a dear and pummel them mercilessly? Ah! I don't think that'll be necessary.
Woo-hoo! Ha ha ha! This is perfect.
I can't remember when I've had this much fun.
You couldn't have had this much fun, darling.
You've never partied with me before.
Ha ha ha.
This wasn't how I intended to spend My last night as a free woman.
Disappointed? No.
I rather enjoyed corrupting you.
I'd appreciate it if we kept Some of the more embarrassing stories to ourselves.
Don't worry-- I won't tell anyone That their great hero has feet of clay.
You have no idea.
I'm sometimes afraid I'll never have fun again.
You don't have to marry him.
Yes, I do.
But I've still got time for one more fling! Audrey! Ha ha ha! Are you insane? What were you thinking? AhhI was thinking we should call it a night.
I have an engagement party tomorrow.
Batman: You're keeping late hours.
You should talk.
Checking up on me? Not especially.
But I do read the papers.
Your point? You've been running in rarefied circles.
I thought you should know some of those people Aren't always what they appear to be.
If you're talking about princess Audrey, She's a sweet girl.
Spoiled rotten, but sweet.
Several hours ago, I captured a burglar.
Part of a team stealing classified weapons technology from Starlabs, Among other places.
So? He's a Kasnian special forces officer.
I don't believe Audrey would knowingly be involved In anything like that.
But it wouldn't hurt to ask her.
Audrey: I'm going to be late for my own engagement party! Audrey, I'm worried about you.
We need to talk.
Relax, Diana.
I'm going to marry the old stiff And churn out a veritable litter of royal heirs.
There's been a series of thefts.
We've connected one of the burglars With your government.
You couldn't possibly believe My father would order such a thing.
I don't know your father.
Well, I do, And he wouldn't.
I just needed to hear it from you.
I'm sorry.
Nothing to be sorry about.
We all have our obligations.
Come meet my ball-and-chain-to-be.
[murmuring.]
There he is.
Diana, I'd like to introduce you to my fiancé.
Vandal savage! Do you have any idea who he is? Diana! Vandal savage is a Nazi war criminal.
He was My grandfather.
What? Vandal Savage III.
A pleasure to meet you.
Diana, don't be rude.
It's understandable.
My grandfather was a very evil man.
He wasn't a man.
He was a monster.
I've dedicated my life to doing good works.
It's my way of trying to restore my family's lost honor.
The resemblance is uncanny.
Our genes are rather Insistent.
Excuse me.
I'm sorry, Audrey.
I didn't mean to insult him.
Didn't you? Excellent.
Keep me informed.
The-- Wonder Woman: How insistent are those genes, Mr.
Savage? Meaning? Your grandfather was a munitions maker.
Ahead of his time in many ways.
I hope that doesn't also run in the family.
It doesn't.
Kasnia's main interest is In peaceful exploitation of space.
I'm not sure I believe you, Mr.
Savage.
I'm not sure I care.
What do you say, I'm the original Vandal Savage? I'm over 100 years old? Whoever you are, I'm not going to let you hurt Audrey.
Hurt her? I love her.
I've never met a woman who can do the things for me that she can.
I don't want to hear this.
I was talking about her Making me a member of the royal family.
Ah, colonel Vox.
Wonder Woman was just leaving.
Would you be so kind as to escort her out.
I can find my own way.
Make the calls.
It's time.
Man over P.
A.
: Primary launch sequence zero tango 12 engaged.
All non-essential personnel clear the canopy.
The payloads have been swapped? Personnel, clear the canopy.
We are go for launch.
Why are you still here? Are you certain that the wine Is all you require this evening, your highness? Quite.
When I need your services-- Uh! Oh! Uh! Vandal Savage sends his regards And a message: Your services are no longer required.
[gasping.]
Man, over radio: Welcome to platform one, commander.
Hope you had a pleasant flight.
Very pleasant, indeed, Jim.
Bay two is clear for approach.
Prepare to dock.
Hey, just a second.
What-- what-- You can't be serious.
Do exactly as we say, Or I'll blow a hole in the hull.
Crew pacified.
All manpower and material in place.
Platform one is ours.
Good.
Prepare the mass driver.
Audrey.
Vandal, what's wrong? It's the king.
He's had a stroke, dearest.
He's paralyzed.
Oh, no! Uh! I'll return to Kasnia immediately.
As you say, princess.
I'm still not sure it's really him.
Batman: But if Savage is still alive, The pieces begin to fit.
I don't know.
I had J'onn look up his birth certificate and school records.
It looks like it all checks out.
Papers can be forged.
Well, whether he's our Savage or a sequel, He makes me nervous.
He should.
Look at what we've got so far.
A Kasnian operative stealing military secrets, Kasnia spearheading the International Space Station.
Good cover to circumvent the weapons embargo they're supposed to be under.
If that's all Savage is up to, we're lucky.
Hold on a minute.
Siroya Basheer at the royal palace in Kasnia.
Sources confirm reports that King Gustav has suffered a serious stroke.
Serious and convenient.
You get all that, Diana? I'm on my way to warn Audrey.
Meet you there.
Audrey? Audrey, it's Diana.
[jet engines roar.]
My apologies for the intrusion.
But we're being followed.
Rest, my darling.
I'll attend to this.
It's Wonder Woman.
Why don't you have a word with her? Uh! Ah! I'm sorry, milady.
We've done all we can.
Audrey No.
If my father cannot rule, my duty is clear.
For the good of Kasnia, I must assume the throne until my father is able again.
Of course, my counsel is at your service As it was for the king.
I don't require your counsel, vandal.
I beg your pardon? The people need reassurance in the royal family's continuity.
Our wedding will take place immediately.
Is that acceptable to you? Nothing would make me happier.
[gasping.]
