And the Gotham City Speedway is off to an exciting start.

The fastest racers in the country have gathered here in Gotham.

Each driving for the charity of their choice.

And Gotham's very own Bruce Wayne...

[CROWD CHEERS]

...1S the only non-pro racing today...

... for Gotham's Children's Hospital.

And Bruce Wayne takes the lead.

Your loss, Pop. | could've been driving for the Policeman's Charity Fund.

Heh, heh. Maybe you should finish driving school...

...before you decide to join the racing circuit, Barbara.

Well, that vehicle isn't registered.

[ALL GASP]

Who's crashing the race?

Stay close, Barbara.

[CROWD GASPS]

| won your race, so I'll collect the prize for my favorite charity.

Me, Gearhead.

[POLICE SIRENS WAILING]

Always wanted to race Gotham's finest.

ALFRED: The prize money should keep this mystery driver's tank...

...topped off for quite some time.

| don't think Gearhead's in it for the money, Alfred.

He likes the chase. We're dealing with a thrill-seeker.

[BATWAVE BEEPING]

It's Gearhead.

Do buckle up, sir.

Could be a bumpy ride.

| think | may have trouble.

[GRUNTS]

[GASPS]

It's driving itself?

[VEHICLE APPROACHING]

Batman.

Time to kick things up a notch.

It's racing time.

[SIGHS]

Remember, hands at 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock.

I'm learning to drive and tell time.

Gearhead.

Batman.

[INSTRUCTOR GRUNTS]

[CLANGING]

[MOANS]

Oh, hi.

Let's check out your reaction time, Batman.

[BUS HORN HONKS]

Shouldn't tailgate.

Aah!

[GRUNTS]

Aah.

[BEEPING]

[GASPS]

[CHUCKLING]

Try buffing that out.

[SIGHS]

No time to be sentimental.

Gearhead will be looking for the next rush...

...and this is one villain the Batman needs wheels to take down.

I'm gonna have to retool one of my prototypes.

I'm gonna have to build a better Batmobile.

BRUCE: And I'll start by doing a little shopping...

...at Wayne Industries.

The dual EXP Power Core.

The power core's unstable at top speeds.

What an odd little giz-- Oh!

My word.

| assume that is not an acquisition from Wayne Industries.

Gearhead Industries. A souvenir from the armored-car job.

It injects some kind of nanovirus into machinery...

...taking it over like a parasite, controlling it.

| aim to make sure this Batmobile is Gearhead-proof.

GORDON: Barbara, the driving school tells me you have quite the lead foot.

The instructor was making me nervous.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

Gordon. Where? On my way.

-Plumbing burst at the courthouse? -Gearhead. Sorry, Barb, have to go.

Taking the car?

Kidding.

[BEEPING]

Gearhead is chasing the bullet train?

It was scheduled for a money transfer from the treasury building.

But, sir, the power core has yet to charge.

I'll need an alternate mode of transportation.

Ooh, two-wheeler.

COMPUTER: Autopilot on.

Hey, no hitchhikers.

Oh, | really need my own set of...

...wheels.

Let's lose the training wheels.

Ha-ha-ha. You're in for a surprise.

MAN: Hey. What are you doing?

[MAN GRUNTING]

Ha-ha-ha. Take the bus, Batman. Ha-ha-ha.

He doesn't use nanotechnology.

He is nanotechnology.

[SIGNAL BEEPING THEN FADING]

The Batcycle's autopilot isn't responding.

Should've known.

BATMAN [OVER RADIO]: Alfred, power core status?

Charge is complete, sir.

BATMAN: Lower the chassis. I'm taking it out for a spin.

[BEEPING]

Do come back in one piece, won't you?

[SIGHS]

Okay. So | stole Batman's ride, and | lost Gearhead. Not good.

Even worse.

Aah!

GEARHEAD: You look a little young.

You even have a driver's license?

No, but here's my permit.

[GRUNTING]

[MAGNET HUMMING]

Whoa.

[GRUNTING]

Don't knock the student driver.

GEARHEAD: Pretty cool, huh?

Here's another trick | learned in machine shop.

[VEHICLE APPROACHING]

Whoa.

You traded up, Batman.

Rematch.

[GEARHEAD LAUGHING]

BATMAN: Nice landing.

Ooh, Corinthian leather?

Catch me if you can, Bats.

Woo-hoo!

[CAR BEEPS]

BATMAN: Power core.

[GRUNTS]

[CRASH]

No one beats Gearhead.

-Road rage coming. -You hear me, Batman?

No one!

[BATMAN GRUNTS]

[GEARHEAD GRUNTING]

[GROANS]

Got to admit, Bat, that's one sweet ride you have.

He's jacking you.

What did you--? I'm stuck.

Nanotechnology, Gearhead. Yours, with some tweaks.

-| still have the car. Time to roll. -Wouldn't recommend it.

[BEEPS]

[YELLING]

[GROANING]

So, uh, since Gearhead can't drive the Batmobile, can |?

Any progress on power-core Calibration, sir?

Stable.

She's a keeper.

| didn't hear the Batwave.

| just thought I'd take it for a spin.
