tips! He takes careful aim ...
Ouch!!

races to Catwoman's hideout to rescue brainwashed Robin from
her. Robin had been seen around Gotham City committing
crimes, but seemed glad to see his mentor ... putting Batman at ease.

of Catwoman's thugs jab Batman with her "Electric Cat-tle
Prods"!! Batman's body stiffens immediately as the powerful
electric current streams through every cell in his body!
His head shakes & jerks as the weapon stuns his once strong body. The last thing he feels is Robin's leather glove pushing his helpless body into the chair.
The Cat-tle prods switch off ... leaving Batman's helpless twitching body at Robin's feet.
Hours later, Batman wakes up to find himself tied down. Ropes criss-cross his entire body - completely immobilizing him. Above him looms a powerful giant mouse trap ... and Robin is ready to cut the release rope!!
Catwoman delivers her ultimatim ... join her gang, or be killed at Robin's hands! Batman refuses the offer ... unable to stop himself, Robin obeys Catwoman & begins to cut the rope! Holy betrayal!

Batman & Robin have
beaten Penguin once again!
Confident that the pesky bird is out cold, they try to release Alfred, locked in the next room.
Penguin wakes up & sees the masked crimefighters haven't noticed him. He aims his penguin umbrella and ... PFFFTTT!! Instantly, potent purple knockout gas spouts from the tip. Robin is the closest to him & takes a stronger dose than Batman. Instantly the gas begins to take effect ...
Robin's knees buckle as his usually agile body begins to weaken. He reaches to Batman for balance, but Batman has now inhaled a full dose of the gas as well now. The once powerful crime fighter begins to tumble forward as purple gas continues to float past him. Robin lurches to the floor, his arms outstretched to break the fall. Batman slumps next to him ... both slipping from consciousness as Penguin stands proudly over his victims.
Penguin's henchmen
awake to a surprising sight. The men they feared most were now
powerless, thanks to their boss. Following his
instructions, they put the Dynamic Duo into large purple sacks and toss them
into the waiting getaway truck outside the window.

Batman & Robin think they are sneaking up on Joker. The duo get ready to jump through a window. He's ready for them though! He & his gang each have a handful of poisoned Sea Urchin spines! Crash! Batman & Robin burst in. With deadly accuracy, the deadly needles are hurled at their bodies.
Each Crime-fighter is hit in the chest by dozens of quills! The painful needles render their victims helpless unless (as Batman points out), they bath in Epsom salts. Joker gleefully announces he's fresh out! Moments later, after the poison has done its job, Joker & his boys carry their bodies to a work area.
Batman & Robin wake up tied to wooden planks. Hovering above them, their captor announces his evil plans for them. He plans to cover every inch of their bodies in a quick hardening foam. Once hardened their foam tombs will be shaped into (of all things!) surf boards!

One of them catches Robin off guard & almost sends him off the roof. Batman comes to his partner's aid once again!
Catwoman begins to cry,
throwing Batman off. He tries to comfort her, telling her
"it will be all right". Foolishly, he
allows Catwoman to fix her makeup after the
breakdown.
Catwoman opens what appears to be a small perfume bottle. Instead of aiming the bottle at herself, she turns the nozzle towards Batman & Robin! PSSSST .... a misty spray hits Batman. PSSSST ... now Robin!
Batman & Robin look at each other, bewildered. They sniff & inhale the perfume. The pleasant aroma causes them to smile. The "perfume" is actually a variation of Catwoman's liquid "cat-atonia". The drug is quickly working into the Dazed Duo's bodies. Unaware the perfume has poisoned them, they both sigh a pleasant "mmmmm" as they begin to pass out.
Catwoman smiles as Batman & Robin's bodies lie sleeping at her feet.
Batman & Robin wake up only to find they've been tied inside a giant coffee cup!
Catwoman has filled the percolator above them with acid-laced coffee. If Batman doesn't figure a way out before the coffee pours, it will be the end!

The "blinded bats" are surrounded by Penguin's men who snare them in a
net! Now Penguin plans a special action scene for his
prisoners ...
Out on the back lot, we find Batman & Robin tied to a giant catapult. Penguin plans to "launch their movie career". A burning rope is all that is keeping them earthbound! Strapped to their legs are cameras which will film them flying to their doom. Only a few more seconds till the rope burns through!
Mere seconds before the catapult releases them into the air, Batman sends a remote signal to the Batmobile's autopilot. Batman's plan works ... the Batmobile arrives at the nick of time, deploys a net & catches the falling heroes! (who land in a slightly less than heroic fashion!)

swings the helpless Boy Wonder against a wall where a giant fish hook snares
him!! Next ... without Robin to help fight, Batman is quickly
overcome & is carried off by the villainous birds!
Another fish hook extends from the wall, rotates, and clamps Batman's chest
tightly. First caught off guard, now completely immobilized,
the Dynamic Duo struggle against the metal hooks while Penguin moves closer
toward them. By pressing a button on his gas umbrella,
red knockout gas begins spraying into Batman's
face. In just a few seconds, Gotham's hero is sent
into a deep sleep as Robin looks on. Penguin aims
the umbrella gun ... pssssssssssss .... Robin joins Batman ... both heroes now

scheme. Batman inserts a coin to test the candy
dispenser. CLANK! Batman &
Robin look down in disbelief as two sets of shackles wrap around their legs -
locking them in place!

ohhh - knockout gas! (video clip)>
Thinking they're closing in on Catwoman, the tables are turned (literally!) on Batman & Robin.
In an instant, the booth spins them into the adjacent room. No longer in the restaurant, they find themselves in a strange room ... but they're not alone ...
Catwoman taunts them from above. Batman & Robin think
they've merely been imprisoned by Catwoman. Moments later one
of the henchmen flips a power switch. Instantly, the floor beneath
begins to glow with intense heat!
As the heat mounts, the desperate duo leap and jump in a futile attempt to save themselves!
Even with their great strength, they know they can't hold out much longer.
Robin spots a water pipe! If Batman can cut the pipe, the water will cool off the floor.
Could this save the day for our heroes?
Batman cuts the water pipe to
