Batman: The Brave and the Bold (2008) s03e11 Episode Script
Bold Beginnings!
JAN: We sure picked a wonderful planet for a picnic, Jace.
[STOMACH GROWLING.]
Boy, I can hear Blip's tummy growling from here, Jan.
Blip, mind your manners.
[BELLOWING IN DISTANCE.]
That sure didn't sound like a tummy growling to me, Jace.
Let's check it out, Jan.
Jace, look.
[ROARING.]
With these beasts under my mind control I'll finally be able to conquer the Ghost Planet and destroy Space Ghost once and for all.
[LAUGHING MANIACALLY.]
It's the Creature King, Jace.
We'd better warn Space Ghost.
JACE: Jace calling Space Ghost.
[OVER RADIO.]
Jace calling Space Ghost.
Space Ghost here.
Go ahead, Jace.
JACE: Space Ghost, we found the Creature King on the planet Zeltor.
Looks like he's up to his old tricks again.
Stay out of sight, Jace.
I'm on my way.
Aw, Jan and Jace.
Always getting into mischief, Batman.
It's the same with my young wards, Space Ghost.
[BLOWS RASPBERRY.]
Shh.
JAN: Jace, look.
The Creature King has spotted us.
It's Space Ghost's meddlesome spies.
Destroy them, my pet.
[ROARS.]
Quick, Jan, use your inviso power.
[SNIFFING.]
[ROARS.]
Too late, Jace.
It's got the scent.
[GIBBERING.]
[SCREAMING.]
It's Space Ghost, Jan.
And Batman, Jace.
Space Ghost.
And I see you brought a friend.
But you're still no match for my menagerie of menace.
[BOTH SCREAMING.]
A sonic blast.
Look out, Space Ghost! My stun ray should discourage that astro-dactyl.
- Yeah! - Eep! [ROARS.]
[GRUNTS.]
JAN: That moon-ape wants to make a meal of Batman.
I can't watch, Jace.
Sleep gas.
Pretty clever, Batman.
[SNORES.]
CREATURE KING: Space Ghost.
Yes, it's Space Ghost.
Fool.
You can't defeat my entire creature horde.
[ROARS.]
[LAUGHING MANIACALLY.]
Huh? [GRUNTING.]
[LAUGHS.]
Now, what happened to Space Ghost's sidekick? Huh? [GRUNTING.]
No! My mind-control helmet.
No, stay back! I command you! [CREATURE KING SCREAMS.]
Looks like Creature King got his just deserts.
Actually, he'll probably be dessert.
[ALL LAUGHING.]
[GROANS.]
[GRUNTING.]
Well, that's just great.
[GRUNTING.]
[GROANING.]
- What happened? - I'd say Mr.
Freeze got the best of us.
GREEN ARROW: What was your first clue? Temperature's dropping fast.
If we don't get out of here pronto, we'll be popsicles.
[ALL GRUNTING.]
Hey, rubber-boy, why don't you stretch your way out? Can't do it.
The cold makes my plastic body brittle.
Last thing we need is for Batman to swoop in and save our butts again.
This can't help but remind me of the time Batman and I were trapped together in an adventure I call "The Sea Caves of Doom.
" It was Yeah, I remember the first time I worked with Bats.
Years ago, when he was still in his nocturnal Ioner phase.
I was in the middle of a story.
So anyway, I was visiting Gotham City when this wealthy heiress was kidnapped.
I'll take it from here, Green Arrow.
Sorry, Batman, I was first on the scene.
This is my collar.
This is my city.
GREEN ARROW: The victim is Ruby Ryder from Star City.
That's my town.
So who's the perp? BATMAN: Mortimer Drake, a.
k.
a.
The Cavalier.
Obsessed with 18th-century Romanticism.
Wanted by Interpol for grand theft, embezzlement [OVER RADIO.]
and murder.
Nasty little creep.
But I do like the goatee.
[TIRES SCREECH.]
This is as far as you go.
I work alone.
Tell you what, you go your way, I'll go mine.
Hey! [GRUNTING.]
Yeah, you're doing great, big guy.
See you upstairs.
[GRUNTING.]
[BEEPING.]
Huh? See you upstairs.
Of course you know this means war.
CAVALIER: How now, Batman.
Thine damsel waits beyond yonder door.
But if thou wishes to rescue thy fair lady, you must first best me in combat.
En garde.
Well met.
Thou hast some skill after all.
I'd like to help, but I'm a little low on arrows.
[BATMAN GRUNTING.]
Ha, ha! Have at thee.
[BOTH GRUNTING.]
[GASPS.]
[BOTH GRUNTING.]
BATMAN: Come.
GREEN ARROW: I'm here to save you.
CAVALIER: Think again, varlets.
Drop it, Shakespeare.
We have Miss Ryder.
Actually, I believe she has you.
[BOTH YELL.]
The old fake-kidnapping ruse.
I should have seen it coming.
- But why? - The money.
Miss Ryder's trust fund can't keep up with her free-spending lifestyle.
Very good, Batman.
The only way to crack that billion-dollar trust fund was with a ransom.
And crack it she did.
The money has already been transferred.
And soon you'll be the Charred Crusader and the Burnt Bowman.
[LAUGHS.]
Come, my sweet, let us away to collect our fortune.
Toodley-pip.
Well, Bats, either we work together or roast together.
Agreed.
If I can snag my utility belt, I can get us out of here.
Allow me.
BATMAN: I hope you're as good a marksman as they say.
I'm better.
- Aah! - Zounds! [GRUNTS.]
[RUBY SCREAMS.]
GREEN ARROW: Going somewhere, fancy-pants? [BOTH GRUNT.]
Forsooth, I am undone.
A plague on both your houses! I never thought of myself as a team player but maybe we should work together more often.
BOTH: Nah.
[GRUNTING.]
I got one of my hands free.
Swing yourself this way, fish-breath.
Little trick Batman picked up from me.
So like I was saying, that was the first time old Bats teamed up with another hero.
That's your story.
Now it's my turn.
- I call it "Danger on Ice" - What about you, goggles? Any memorable team-ups with Bats? Yeah, you know how Bats put me on the straight and narrow, right? The first time we worked together as full partners, I used my powers of disguise to go undercover as one Stretch Wheeler.
It worked so well that before I knew it, I found myself in the middle of a heist.
[BEEPING.]
Pack your bags, boys, we've got a train to catch.
You got anotherjob for me, boss? Yeah, the most important job of all: Scapegoat.
Grab him, Hammertoes.
Hey, hey, what's the big idea? Oh, you ain't stretching out of this one, stretch.
[YELLS.]
[GRUNTING.]
Or should I say "Plastic Man"? You'll never get away with this, Babyface.
Au contraire, rubber-boy.
When the smoke clears from this bomb the only thing the coppers are gonna find is your crispy carcass.
They'll think Eel O'Brian went back to playing with fire and got burned.
See you in the funny papers.
[BEEPING.]
[GRUNTING.]
Three, two, one.
[WHIMPERS.]
Huh? Batman.
This looks bad, doesn't it? I thought we agreed you weren't ready to work a case solo.
I can't sit on the sidelines forever.
I wanna be in the game.
[PLASTIC MAN YELLS.]
You started me down this path, Bats.
Isn't it time we finished it? We got a bat on our tail.
Let's show him why they call this a bullet train.
- They're getting away.
- Hang on.
[PLASTIC MAN YELLING.]
That was some stunt.
You know, we could go on the daredevil circuit, make some real money.
- Just an idea.
- Get back there and cut them loose.
So long, Bats.
[LAUGHS.]
Plastic Man, you've got a train to catch.
[GRUNTING.]
[BOTH GRUNTING.]
Hurry, Bats.
Ow, ow, ow! - This little piggy went to market.
- Aah! HAMMERTOES: This little piggy stayed home.
- Oh! - And this little piggy, uh got his hand smashed.
[YELLS.]
[PLASTIC MAN YELLING.]
Plastic is a poor conductor of electricity.
But it sure packs a punch.
I've got your number, rubber-head.
It's.
45, as in caliber.
[GUNFIRE.]
You won't send me back to the big house, see? Say, what gives? Nap time, Babyface.
Nothing like teamwork, eh, Bats? Um, I'll just clean that up.
[CHUCKLES.]
Brr.
How goes the Houdini act, Arrow? Fingers numb from the cold.
Ah Ah Ah Hold it in, Aquaman.
I almost [SNEEZES.]
GREEN ARROW: had it.
Sorry.
The ocean never gets this cold.
Oh, what do we do now? Don't despair, my bendable buddy.
Allow me to regale you with the tale of my first adventure with Batman.
I remember it like it was yesterday.
I had only been king of Atlantis for a short time.
Not even long enough to grow my luxurious beard.
[FLUKE CLICKING.]
What is it, Fluke? Someone in danger? Lead the way.
Hyah! [BATMAN GRUNTING.]
BLACK MANTA: You were a fool to think you could stop me, surface-dweller.
The Seven Seas are mine to plunder.
AQUAMAN: Back off, Black Manta.
That's no way to treat a visitor to the big blue.
[ALL GRUNTING.]
I'm Batman.
Thanks for the rescue, Your Highness.
AQUAMAN: Call me Aquaman.
Somehow I know we're destined to become the very best of friends.
BLACK MANTA: Soon the sea will have a new king and all will bow before Black Manta.
AQUAMAN: Batman and I were all that stood against Black Manta and his gang of 10.
Uh, 20.
No, 50 Manta men.
And his school of great white sharks.
GREEN ARROW: Eh, this is starting to sound a little fishy.
AQUAMAN: By Neptune's beard, I swear that's what happened.
Then Black Manta said BLACK MANTA: Do you feel the icy grip of doom? PLASTIC MAN: Doesn't sound like something Black Manta would say.
GREEN ARROW: Mr.
Freeze.
Huh? What? Oh, not now.
I was in the middle of my story.
FREEZE: Soon I'll have the most valuable trophies in the world.
Green Arrow, Aquaman and Plastic Man frozen in blocks of ice.
And the city at the mercy of a new ice age.
Revenge.
I will have my revenge.
BATMAN: You poor deluded fool.
FREEZE: What? There's just one thaw in your plan, Mr.
Freeze.
Batman.
Outrageous.
[GRUNTS.]
[BOTH GRUNT.]
You're gonna cool your heels in Blackgate Prison.
FREEZE: I've got glaciers poised and ready to scrape Gotham City right off the map, Batman.
And there's nothing you can do to stop them.
Now it's a fair fight, Batman.
Thirteen against four.
Wild.
Put them on ice.
[HENCHMEN GROWLING.]
[ALL GRUNTING.]
[LAUGHS.]
Super Friends, an A-list villain, a pack of goons.
Life doesn't get much better.
FREEZE: Time for the big chill, Batman.
Huh? This is for interrupting my story.
[GROANS.]
No more Mr.
Ice-Guy.
[LAUGHING.]
Ice puns.
Yes! Come on, let's go melt those glaciers.
Right behind you, Bats.
Can I get a lift? Anybody? Have fun.
I'll keep an eye on our frosty friends here until the police arrive.
While we're waiting, I might as well finish my story.
[GROANS.]
So there we were, two young superheroes facing off against Black Manta and his army of 100 henchmen.
It was hardly a fair fight for Manta.
First, he sent in his pack of great whites.
[FREEZE SPEAKS IN GERMAN.]
[STOMACH GROWLING.]
