This is Police Chopper One moving in for

aerial backup over.

It's been a tense standoff so far here in

Gotham's warehouse district. I think the

commissioner's about to wait.

Stand back.

This was the scene earlier tonight in

Gotham's Bayside District, where police

cornered Timecode, an outlaw physicist

who planned to make a fortune by helping

wanted criminals escape to the future of

all places. Unfortunately for Timecode,

he couldn't see into his own future. A

future that included Batman and his young

friends. His young friends?I

don't have a name anymore?Get me my

toolkit, boy wonder.

And you. Be careful with that. It

has a glitch. Hey, the plug's been

pulled. Or didn't you notice?It also has

an internal power source. Or didn't you

notice?Just test me. I'll put it down

there.

You're welcome. You learned science from

Nobel laureates, martial arts from kung

fu masters,and manners from a crocodile.

So he's a little harsh sometimes.

Sometimes?He's teaching you, making sure

you'll be ready for whatever. I think

you're kind of lucky.

I got him! No! Stay away! I

can handle it!

Where'd he go?Not where.

One zip, then you set, get deep, get

trapped Look in my eyes, I got the power

of business from the static shower To my

nose, it

twisted, shit

Batman?Robin?

Somebody's been doing some redecorating.

What are you doing here?

It's kind of a long story.

Let's not get off on the wrong foot here,

because that's one foot you don't want to

step on.

Batman's not going to be happy when he

hears how you've been treating his

guests, and you really don't want to see

Batman unhappy. First, we don't have

guests here. And 2nd, I'm Batman.

And I'm beyoncé. Well, whoever you are,

you don't belong

here.

Getting sloppy.

Sloppy, huh

Need more?That's enough. There's

no time for this. I need you. Both

of you. You know this kid.

He says his name's beyoncé. He's static.

Static's an old guy. Hey, I'm almost old

enough to drive. Yep, Static.

And you're Bruce Wayne, aren't you?

But you're so, so.. Old?

No big surprise, considering you just

hopscotched over 40 years.

Ever since that accident, I've been

expecting this moment. And the timing

couldn't be better. Cobra is a group of

snake worshippers who want to take over

the world. The police caught their leader

a week ago, but Cobra's just taken a

prisoner of their own. There's going to

be a trade. Sounds fair to me. Fair?

Negotiating with criminals?I don't see

much choice. I do. We can

rescue the prisoner before the exchange.

We could have him back and keep their

leader. Hey, you two are the team. You

can handle this. I gotta find a way home.

I need both of you to rescue the

prisoner. Wherever Cobra's keeping him,

I'm sure they're guarding him very

heavily. He's one of our greatest heroes.

Someone with the power to change the

world. Someone who-- Come on! How great

can this guy be if he's stupid enough to

get caught by a bunch of snake people?

He's you, Virgil.

He's all so incredible. And I'm the man

here, huhNot you. Him.

Me, him, same thing, give or take 40

years. Not exactly. Which is why you're

along strictly for backup. Backup?You've

seen what I can do. You're still mad

about that little go-round we had. This

has nothing to do with that. But you are

still mad at him. Look, suppose something

happened to you tonight. Something bad.

That would mean the older version of you

would never have existed, right?Could

that really happen?I mean, if I... Well,

then he... Let's not try any experiments,

okay?

Well, isn't there anyone else who can

help us?What about Robin?Robin?He's

a civilian now. And the league's off near

Alpha Centauri. Gear's on the other side

of the world, and your son... Son?Huh

I have a son?Yeah, you do. You've got a

lot of surprises in store, but I'm not

going to spoil any more of them. Come on.

What are you doing?Going undercover. The

old man at the contact who might be able

to get me into Cobra. Supposed to wait

down there for him. Sure must be nice

having someone to give you leads and help

figure out things. It is. What was

Bruce like when you knew him?Taller. I

recognize the streets, but everything

else is so...

Different. He's a splicer. They use

animal DNA. Some of the whack jobs in

Cobra look almost like snakes. That can't

be legal. It's not. But the cops are too

busy to do much about it. Well, some

things never change. What now?I go

wait under that bridge, and you, you're

gonna stay at the corner, and try very

hard not to erase your own future.

Well, this is a surprise.

I thought you were going to throw away

the key.

Out. We're going somewhere. Not if I have

my way. There's going to be a

prisoner exchange, isn't there?

We must have gotten one of yours. Who

was it?Wonder Woman?

The Lantern?Static?

Quiet. Perfect. Just

perfect.

Virgil?Virgil!

Easy on the volume. It was supposed to be

undercover, remember?I'm supposed to be

undercover. You were just gonna wait. I

did. Until I got tired of it. Come here.

I found someone who says he knows all

about Cobra. That's him down

there. You have got to be

kidding. Maybe he's the guy. But the

old man said-- Come on.

Cobra's right in here, boys. You're sure

about this?Why would

I lie to you?

Oh, yeah. That's why I'd lie.

They're jokers. They don't know anything

about Cobra. He was just yanking your

chain. No biggie. They're just a bunch of

clowns, that's all. See?A bunch

of... Yeah,

clowns.

Get him.

Hey, that was way sway.

Sway. I don't get it. Get this.

Now I get it. Sway.

It's a

distraction. Look.

Come on, guys. Where's that sparkling

sense of fuel?

Well, let's hear it. Thank you. You

sent us off on a wild goose chase. We

probably missed the real contact and you

want gratitude. I just can't see how you

could have grown up to be one of the

world's greatest heroes.

Hey, relax. We'll be there soon. Yeah.

I'll call the Harbor Patrol.

Long live Cobra!

This is 759er requesting permission to

take off. Got a clearance yet?Over. It's

gonna be another couple minutes, 759er.

We got some heavy traffic coming in.

Over. You okay?Over?

Just fine. But I don't think I'll wait

for clearance. Over and out. Hey,

stop!

It's me. I'll be there in a few minutes.

Leader. Graze me. What should we do with

static?Don't touch him. Static's mine.

You gotta get this kid off my back. He's

driving me crazy. I

saved his buttHe needs me! Quiet!

Cobra's leader just escaped. That means

they don't need static anymore. What do

we do now?Hello?

I'm thinking.

Looks just like we left it.

What are you doing?This is where I go to

think.

It's pretty pathetic. Not everybody has a

mansion. And what are you doing?I kind of

ran into a dead end. I thought you wanted

to be on your own. Look, coming here was

hard enough for me. I'm not gonna get

down on my knees and... And

what?Why

is there a retinal scanner in an old

abandoned gas station?Retinal scanner?

Let me see.

Looks like I haven't done too bad for

myself.

Know what this is.

Looks sort of like a shop box, but.

Gear, what happened to you?

You got so thick.

It's a recorded hologram. Oh, yeah,

right. It's like those things people used

to have. Uh, answering machines. So this

is an old message.

Mm-hmmVerge, meet me at Dakota Platform

247 right away. It's an emergency.

Tuesday, 7:40 AM.

That was this morning. I thought you said

Gear was on the other side of the world.

He is. It's a secret mission only the old

man knew. Then they must have faked this

somehow. This is how they tricked me. I

mean, him. Any idea where this Platform

247 is?No, but I know someone

who does.

Praise Cobra, let all

fear our might.

We have static in a stasis chamber. He's

ready for you. Good. But I'd like to

do a little splicing first. I thought you

might.

The platforms were originally designed

for the military. Now they're ghosttowns.

Allow me.

It's a stasis field. That's how they're

holding it. That's me.

Got a plan?Go down there and fight real

hard?That's what I was thinking, and I

don't even have a mentor.

See if you can shut off the stasis field.

What have we here?A failed cloning

attempt. A mini static.

Yeah, many all right.

Hold on.

This will fuck up your circuits.

Static! Here! What am I

supposed to do with-- It's knockout

gas! Throw it!

That's not gonna do you any good. It

will if I supercharge it.

We're gonna need some help here. And I

know just who.

Get him!

Come on!

Stop him!

Wow. I can see why you didn'tthink I

could be him. Actually, I'm starting to

see the resemblance. I

I have so many questions.

Don't worry. Everything's going to be

fine. Hey, what's happening?You

must be going back. What's going to

happen to me?What should I do?Believe in

yourself. That's your greatest power.

Welcome back. Yeah, I knew I could

fix this. Gear, I saw the future. I saw

you, I saw myself, I saw Batman. Batman,

you were... I'd rather not know. Well,

you still had your hair. You gonna

be okay?I'm gonna be just fine.

Oh, and Gear, maybe you should lay off

the fries.
