Shadow of the Bat!
[COMPUTER DINGS.]
[PANTING.]
[GROWLING.]
[GRUNTS.]
[GROWLING.]
[BATMAN YELLING.]
Holy close call, Batman.
We're not out of the woods yet, old chum.
Catwoman's still playing a most dangerous game.
CATWOMAN: He's right, Boy Wonder.
At best, you're just a chew toy for my beloved Hecate.
My real prey is, and shall always be, Batman.
It's not too late to surrender, Catwoman.
We both know how this ends.
With you licking your wounds behind prison walls.
[BOTH HISS.]
[GRUNTING.]
[BOTH GRUNTING.]
[HISSES.]
[YELLS.]
[ROBIN GRUNTING.]
CATWOMAN: This, my befuddled bat is a very rare blossom called the devil's kiss.
And when it brushes those virtuous lips you'll be my willing slave forever.
This explains your evil jaunt into the jungle, you tarnished temptress.
Well, I have a secret weapon of my own.
[WHISTLES.]
[BOTH GASP.]
[ROARS.]
[BATMAN GRUNTS.]
[GROWLING.]
[GRUNTS.]
[BOTH GROWLING.]
Bat-Ape comes to our rescue once again, Batman.
Yes.
He's been a loyal partner in the fight against jungle-based crime ever since we saved him from those poachers.
[ROBIN SIGHS.]
Catwoman gets away again, unpunished.
Has she, Robin? I wonder.
The most dangerous game, Batman [SNIFFS.]
is love.
You sure she's nearby, Blood? Vampires have a very distinct energy signature.
Dala's not exactly a vampire.
Her affliction may have been created in a lab but manifests itself in virtually the same way.
[DEVICE BEEPING.]
Ah.
I've got her now.
You check the gardens.
I'll search by the lake.
[GROWLING.]
[SCREECHES.]
[HISSING.]
[BLOOD GRUNTS.]
Fools.
You cannot hope to stop Dala.
[SCREECHES.]
[GROANS.]
[GROWLING.]
[GRUNTS.]
[GROANING.]
It's time to end this.
[CHANTING.]
Gone, gone, the form of man Rise, the demon Etrigan [GROWLS.]
[DALA GROANS.]
[BATMAN GROANS.]
I'm I'm fine.
I'm needed elsewhere.
I trust you'll start work on a cure for her? Before the rising of the sun, this reign of blood will be undone.
I'll take that as a yes.
[GROANS SOFTLY.]
[ALARM RINGING.]
BATMAN: Black Mask, prepare to pay the ultimate price for your wicked ways.
Well, what are you waiting for? Shoot him.
[MEN GRUNTING.]
[BLACK MASK PANTING.]
[BLACK MASK GASPS.]
[BLACK MASK YELLING.]
[GRUNTS.]
[WHIMPERING.]
[BLACK MASK SCREAMING.]
[CRUNCHING.]
ALFRED: Master Bruce? [BATS SQUEAKING.]
BATMAN: This dark hunger within me as much as I try, I can't suppress it.
So instead, I'll feed it.
And I know just where to find a more satisfying meal.
[BATS SQUEAKING.]
BLUE BEETLE: I bet it's an alien invasion.
What are you babbling about now? The reason Bats called this emergency meeting.
Gotta be an alien invasion.
- Uh, no offense, J'onn.
- None taken, Beetle.
[BOOSTER SIGHS.]
And what's bothering you, Booster? I had to send Skeets to cancel my much-anticipated appearance on The Jack Ryder Show tonight.
Was gonna push my brand-new line of Booster Gold menswear.
Now, you could definitely use a hipper look.
Here's a coupon for 15 percent off at all participating stores.
Thank you, but I'll pass.
Fifteen percent off, you say? By Poseidon, those savings are outrageous.
- Another blown fuse.
BATMAN: Good evening.
Finally.
What's the nature of this emergency, Batman? I'll fill you in momentarily.
But first, a bite to eat, perhaps? A dinner party? Why didn't you let us know? I would have made lutefisk.
I never knew Bats was into fine dining.
Is it me or is he acting kind of strange? After seeing how he dresses his dog, nothing fazes me about this guy.
We should keep him under careful observation.
Now, please, indulge in this sumptuous banquet.
Let's put a little meat on those bones.
Mm! Ha, ha! Good eats.
A world-threatening crisis and you waste time with a dinner party? I never said there was a crisis.
Uh, you said you needed to see us right away.
I was merely Ionely.
You? Oh, come on.
Yes, Ionely.
I need all of you in ways you can't possibly imagine.
Cosmetics? For one as naturally beautiful as you? [GIGGLES.]
I bet you say that to all the Nordic ice goddesses.
Look, I'm sure there's a good reason for this not that I wanna take the time to figure it out but I got places to go, underwear to sell.
I'm afraid that will be impossible.
When the lights went out, it was due to more than a simple fuse.
And until it's repaired, we'll all be spending the night together.
Sleepover.
- What do we do? - For now, we act as if everything is normal.
It's not? [METALLIC SCRAPING.]
- No, no, junior, you take the top bunk.
- Aah! - Why should I? - Because I'm more famous than you are.
- Come on, where's your little robot, dude? - Get off my bunk, punk.
First the fear, then the feast.
[HISSING.]
BOTH: J'onn! You have got a crush on who? Aquaman.
That hunk is global warming to my heart's polar icecaps.
First of all, Tora, he smells like the Fulton Fish Market.
I love that smell too.
And second of all, he's married.
Yes, to his work.
I know.
[BOTH GASP.]
[BATMAN GROWLS.]
[ICE SCREAMS.]
[CHUCKLING.]
[FIRE & ICE SCREAM.]
So, what do you think's wrong with him? If I told you, you'd think me insane.
Try me, my emerald amigo.
It appears that Batman has been - He's here.
- How do you know? AQUAMAN: They told me.
[GROWLING.]
[ALL GRUNTING.]
I'm warning you, old friend.
One step closer and I'll flatten you like a flounder.
But I don't wanna fight.
And neither do you.
Ha! There's nothing I love better than a good punch-them-up.
No, you don't.
[GASPS.]
[GROANS.]
Perhaps you're right.
[GROANS.]
Aquaman.
[GRUNTING.]
I sense you're trying to resist this evil, Batman.
Open your mind so I can help you.
Destroy me, J'onn.
You must change our orbit.
Orbit? I don't understand.
[GROWLING.]
[SQUEAKING.]
[GROANS.]
BATMAN: You are the most powerful of them all but every man has his weakness.
Help us, Father.
Help us.
J'onn.
Beloved.
Gods of Mars.
[YELLS.]
I can't lose you again.
[SIGHS.]
Get out of my mind! [SQUEAKING.]
That's for being a terrible dinner host.
Unh! And that is for ruining the sleepover.
[RUMBLING.]
[ROARS.]
[FIRE GRUNTS.]
Which one first? Something hot and spicy, I think, and then a delicious, cool dessert.
[HISSES.]
You think this is gonna work? Listen, I've seen every monster movie ever made.
Vampires hate garlic.
[GROWLING.]
I'll keep him busy.
You finish the secret sauce.
[BLUE BEETLE GRUNTS.]
Whoa! Oh.
[CHUCKLING.]
[GRUNTS.]
[GROWLING.]
[WHIMPERS THEN GRUNTS.]
[YELLS.]
[GRUNTS THEN GROANS.]
- Huh? - After all I've done for you you repay me by turning against me? That's better.
Your neck, please.
[BATMAN SCREAMING.]
Booster Gold, vampire slayer.
[SCREAMING.]
[LAUGHING.]
Vampires and garlic? You actually believe that? [BLUE BEETLE GROANS.]
[LAUGHING.]
[PANTING.]
Huh? [GROANING.]
MARTIAN MANHUNTER: Batman.
[GRUNTS.]
You said it before, human.
I'm the most powerful one of all.
And I'm going to stop you.
Now.
[GRUNTS.]
[HISSING.]
[SQUEAKING.]
[GROANS.]
[GASPS.]
[AQUAMAN GROWLING.]
BATMAN: I'll give you a chance, Martian.
A chance to join us.
Unh! Never.
Then we'll finish with you and turn our attention to Earth.
Billions to feed on.
[GROWLING.]
I wonder if your blood is green as well.
[GROWLING.]
[GROWLING.]
The curse has now consumed them all, the Justice League this night must fall.
Batman told me the way to help him was by changing our orbit.
If this vampire war is to be won, all hope resides within the sun.
[VAMPIRES GROWLING.]
- Take them.
- We've got to get to the bridge.
[GRUNTING AND GROWLING.]
You don't understand, do you? I was just letting them have their fun.
They're like children.
But I am the master.
[GRUNTS.]
[GROWLING.]
[GROANING.]
[BATMAN GROANING.]
[ALL SCREAMING.]
[SCREAMING.]
[GROANS.]
[SCREAMING.]
BLOOD: He's regaining consciousness.
BATMAN: Blood? J'onn? Jason brought you here after Dala's bite poisoned you.
I knew that her bite wasn't lethal but I hadn't counted on the massive hallucinations.
How are you feeling, Batman? Truth be told, I'm famished.
[PANTING.]
[GROWLING.]
