1
00:00:20,884 --> 00:00:24,721
Okay, boys, grab the loot.
And maybe a couple of those suckers too.

2
00:00:26,056 --> 00:00:28,725
Not so fast, Babyface.

3
00:00:30,519 --> 00:00:34,106
You've been caught
by the long arms of the law.

4
00:00:36,066 --> 00:00:38,986
Well, if it isn't Plastic Man and, uh...

5
00:00:39,194 --> 00:00:40,904
Uh, and, uh--

6
00:00:41,155 --> 00:00:44,324
Elongated Man.
You know, the ductile detective?

7
00:00:44,575 --> 00:00:46,076
Uh, never heard of you.

8
00:00:51,373 --> 00:00:52,958
I just don't get it.

9
00:00:53,041 --> 00:00:55,627
I'm more professional,
the better detective,

10
00:00:55,711 --> 00:00:58,005
and yet the public prefers you.

11
00:00:58,255 --> 00:01:02,509
Ooh, not just public, my D-list
doppelganger. Batman too.

12
00:01:06,180 --> 00:01:09,475
Oh, yeah. The Caped Crusader
prefers to work with <i>moi.</i>

13
00:01:09,683 --> 00:01:13,729
Please. The Dark Knight only turns to you
when I'm on another case,

14
00:01:14,062 --> 00:01:17,232
and then, only as a last resort.

15
00:01:21,904 --> 00:01:25,199
Dude, you're delusional.
Bats and I are best buds.

16
00:01:25,449 --> 00:01:27,743
We hang out even when there's no evil
doing to be undone.

17
00:01:43,675 --> 00:01:48,805
I would think Batman prefers a partner
who doesn't pilfer criminal proceeds.

18
00:01:49,014 --> 00:01:50,641
Low blow, highbrow.

19
00:02:09,535 --> 00:02:13,080
That taffy puller should keep
you wrapped up for a while, see?

20
00:02:13,622 --> 00:02:15,499
This kind of incompetence

21
00:02:15,582 --> 00:02:19,378
is exactly why Batman
always chooses me.

22
00:02:19,503 --> 00:02:22,339
He'd rather work with me
any day of the week.

23
00:02:31,765 --> 00:02:34,893
Truth be told, between the two of you,

24
00:02:35,227 --> 00:02:37,437
I prefer to work alone.

25
00:03:25,527 --> 00:03:27,863
Five months of careful research

26
00:03:27,988 --> 00:03:31,325
to culminate
in this one magnificent moment.

27
00:03:40,876 --> 00:03:42,252
Dr. Choi, hello?

28
00:03:42,377 --> 00:03:44,171
<i>Doctor, Aquaman here.</i>

29
00:03:44,379 --> 00:03:45,797
What's new, old friend?

30
00:03:46,006 --> 00:03:47,633
I was just in the middle of conducting

31
00:03:47,758 --> 00:03:51,261
a delicate tachyon-detection experiment,
old friend.

32
00:03:51,428 --> 00:03:54,181
Tachyons, eh? Splendid. Attaboy.

33
00:03:54,306 --> 00:03:56,266
Get to the point.

34
00:03:56,433 --> 00:03:59,895
I'm calling about Batman.
He's-- How shall I put this?

35
00:04:00,395 --> 00:04:02,648
--Shipping a bit of bilge.

36
00:04:03,065 --> 00:04:04,441
Describe the bilge.

37
00:04:04,900 --> 00:04:07,819
We were fighting
that toxic torment Chemo,

38
00:04:07,944 --> 00:04:09,738
and the Caped Crusader,

39
00:04:10,822 --> 00:04:12,574
well, he took one in the face.

40
00:04:12,824 --> 00:04:14,117
I'll be right there.

41
00:04:30,592 --> 00:04:32,010
Outrageous.

42
00:04:32,177 --> 00:04:33,387
What miracle is this?

43
00:04:33,595 --> 00:04:36,348
As the Atom, I can shrink
to the size of a subatomic particle

44
00:04:36,473 --> 00:04:38,767
and ride electrons
along the phone wires.

45
00:04:39,226 --> 00:04:40,477
Do it again.

46
00:04:43,772 --> 00:04:45,107
Oh, my.

47
00:04:47,192 --> 00:04:49,528
You don't look well at all.
Open wide for me.

48
00:04:55,450 --> 00:04:57,411
Silicon-based microorganisms?

49
00:04:57,619 --> 00:05:01,081
Specifically, fast-replicating,
monoclinic phyllosilicates.

50
00:05:01,289 --> 00:05:04,668
What kind of medicine shall we prescribe,
doc?

51
00:05:05,043 --> 00:05:07,963
You don't know what kind of doctor I am,
do you?

52
00:05:08,046 --> 00:05:10,924
A hero doctor, through and through.

53
00:05:11,091 --> 00:05:12,509
A physicist.

54
00:05:12,592 --> 00:05:15,971
And this goes beyond medicine.
Batman's cells are mutating.

55
00:05:16,096 --> 00:05:18,598
Before long, they'll overwhelm
his central nervous system,

56
00:05:18,682 --> 00:05:23,103
causing a loss of motor control,
then paralysis, and finally...

57
00:05:23,270 --> 00:05:24,855
Then we don't have much time.

58
00:05:25,105 --> 00:05:28,900
Chemo's headed out to sea,
straight for the Bialyian nuclear test site.

59
00:05:29,109 --> 00:05:32,279
Forget Chemo, old chum.
The Navy can handle him.

60
00:05:32,404 --> 00:05:36,783
He's right. The only way to halt this process
is for me to go into your body

61
00:05:36,867 --> 00:05:38,952
and destroy the organisms myself.

62
00:05:39,077 --> 00:05:40,829
Sounds like an adventure.

63
00:05:40,912 --> 00:05:43,248
Think you might need
a strong swimmer along?

64
00:05:43,373 --> 00:05:45,459
One with the heart of a beluga whale?

65
00:05:45,876 --> 00:05:48,962
- Oh, I don't think--
- Take him, you'll need the muscle.

66
00:05:49,212 --> 00:05:50,589
Oh...

67
00:05:50,714 --> 00:05:53,675
Then promise me
you won't do anything foolish.

68
00:05:53,759 --> 00:05:56,595
Activity makes the
virus spread faster, okay?

69
00:06:00,223 --> 00:06:03,977
Say "ah." and remember, stay put.

70
00:06:05,395 --> 00:06:07,230
Ah...

71
00:06:08,482 --> 00:06:10,275
<i>I thought they'd never leave.</i>

72
00:06:18,700 --> 00:06:20,202
The human lung.

73
00:06:20,327 --> 00:06:23,371
Mother Nature
is truly our greatest architect.

74
00:06:23,455 --> 00:06:26,541
Look, dendritic cells, alveoli--

75
00:06:26,708 --> 00:06:29,211
Yes, yes, all very interesting.

76
00:06:29,419 --> 00:06:31,505
But how small are we?

77
00:06:31,713 --> 00:06:33,465
About 15 microns.

78
00:06:33,548 --> 00:06:36,593
Small enough to slip
between Batman's cells without damage.

79
00:06:36,676 --> 00:06:40,055
And, uh, that's Batman's cilia
you're hanging from.

80
00:06:40,764 --> 00:06:42,724
Cilia and sillier.

81
00:06:44,935 --> 00:06:46,645
Alley-oop.

82
00:06:49,439 --> 00:06:52,609
You know, this can't help
but remind me of the time I ventured

83
00:06:52,692 --> 00:06:56,071
into the belly of a giant squid
to retrieve the enchanted pearl

84
00:06:56,196 --> 00:06:58,657
needed to save the Falkland Islands.

85
00:06:58,865 --> 00:07:02,536
Let's stay focused on the mission at hand,
shall we?

86
00:07:02,619 --> 00:07:04,621
Finding those silicon compounds?

87
00:07:04,871 --> 00:07:06,832
Yes, professor.

88
00:07:09,084 --> 00:07:11,962
<i>My body grows weaker
with each passing moment.</i>

89
00:07:12,963 --> 00:07:16,508
<i>Only the thought of the destruction
that walking chemical spill will wreak</i>

90
00:07:16,633 --> 00:07:18,009
<i>keeps me focused.</i>

91
00:08:06,349 --> 00:08:09,227
<i>Loss of motor control, check.</i>

92
00:08:32,042 --> 00:08:33,627
<i>Oxygen, low.</i>

93
00:08:34,461 --> 00:08:37,422
Batmobile, switch to voice command.

94
00:08:37,631 --> 00:08:39,507
<i>Voice command, active.</i>

95
00:08:41,635 --> 00:08:42,552
Surface.

96
00:08:50,310 --> 00:08:53,813
As we travel through the villi,
the CP4 barium sonowave

97
00:08:53,897 --> 00:08:57,025
will indicate any monoclinic
phyllosilicates in our vicinity.

98
00:08:57,108 --> 00:08:59,361
English, man. English.

99
00:09:00,779 --> 00:09:07,077
This little doohickey beeps
when the cooties are near.

100
00:09:07,452 --> 00:09:10,121
Ah! Cooties, yes.

101
00:09:13,333 --> 00:09:15,460
Okay, now we're cooking.

102
00:09:27,806 --> 00:09:32,602
These phyllosilicates are dangerous,
so let's think this out.

103
00:09:35,355 --> 00:09:38,483
<i>En garde,</i> you microscopic misanthrope.

104
00:09:46,241 --> 00:09:51,037
We shall call this adventure
the one where larger than life heroes

105
00:09:51,162 --> 00:09:53,623
come in small packages.

106
00:09:53,707 --> 00:09:55,250
Huh? Wha--?

107
00:09:56,793 --> 00:09:58,294
It's replicating.

108
00:09:58,586 --> 00:10:00,797
Yes, and it's making more of itself too.

109
00:10:01,006 --> 00:10:02,841
We'll just have to fight harder.

110
00:10:10,098 --> 00:10:12,726
Now's the time for thinking, not fighting.

111
00:10:13,018 --> 00:10:17,397
Ha! The problem with you, Atom,
is that you think when you should feel.

112
00:10:23,987 --> 00:10:26,156
Time to try things my way.

113
00:10:30,076 --> 00:10:32,579
A simple electromagnetic shock
will destroy them

114
00:10:32,662 --> 00:10:35,623
and cure Batman in the process.
Observe.

115
00:10:47,844 --> 00:10:50,138
See? Thinking's not so tough.

116
00:10:50,263 --> 00:10:51,806
Maybe you should try it sometime.

117
00:11:00,190 --> 00:11:02,837
There's no way
they could've spread this quickly unless--

118
00:11:03,151 --> 00:11:07,906
Unless Batman disregarded my orders
for bed rest and went after Chemo.

119
00:11:08,114 --> 00:11:11,493
Of course he went after Chemo.
He's Batman.

120
00:11:15,622 --> 00:11:19,225
Worry not, Poindexter.
I shall lead us to safer ground.

121
00:11:20,543 --> 00:11:24,631
Wait. At our size,
blood vessels are raging rivers of death.

122
00:11:24,839 --> 00:11:27,425
Not if I summon us a sturdy steed.

123
00:11:27,717 --> 00:11:29,844
And what exactly
are you going to summon?

124
00:11:29,928 --> 00:11:33,014
This is not the ocean.
There are no fish in Batman's--

125
00:11:36,226 --> 00:11:37,685
I stand corrected.

126
00:11:40,605 --> 00:11:42,190
Giddyup.

127
00:12:05,672 --> 00:12:08,758
Evasive subroutine, two-niner, go.

128
00:12:14,139 --> 00:12:16,975
Concussive grenades, full power.

129
00:12:38,121 --> 00:12:41,416
<i>Let's hope Atom and Aquaman
are having better luck than I am.</i>

130
00:12:42,208 --> 00:12:44,127
You're going to kill us.

131
00:12:44,836 --> 00:12:46,337
Have at thee.

132
00:12:48,298 --> 00:12:49,507
Huzzah!

133
00:12:58,016 --> 00:13:00,268
I'm king of the sea.

134
00:13:00,643 --> 00:13:02,729
Just get us out of here!

135
00:13:18,703 --> 00:13:20,622
That was outrageous.

136
00:13:21,039 --> 00:13:23,082
I'll admit, we survived.

137
00:13:24,876 --> 00:13:28,463
Good boy. You were magnificent.

138
00:13:28,671 --> 00:13:31,174
Yes, big hug.

139
00:13:31,424 --> 00:13:34,469
He's not hugging you.
He is merely interpreting you

140
00:13:34,594 --> 00:13:37,180
as a foreign body
to be surrounded and destroyed.

141
00:13:37,388 --> 00:13:39,724
Sure feels like a hug to me,

142
00:13:39,807 --> 00:13:42,936
and since we found you
in Batman's bloodstream,

143
00:13:43,019 --> 00:13:45,563
I think we'll name you Platelet.

144
00:13:45,772 --> 00:13:49,108
- Except that's a lymphocyte.
- Platelet it is.

145
00:13:53,238 --> 00:13:56,449
Neptune's beard. They're everywhere.

146
00:13:57,575 --> 00:13:59,827
And we're not going to beat them
head-on.

147
00:14:00,036 --> 00:14:02,288
Not the way you fight, no.

148
00:14:02,497 --> 00:14:05,875
Our only chance is to find
and destroy the seed cell.

149
00:14:05,959 --> 00:14:09,671
And based on these symptoms,
it can only be in one place.

150
00:14:09,879 --> 00:14:12,048
Batman's brain.

151
00:14:12,257 --> 00:14:13,508
Then let's ride.

152
00:14:14,926 --> 00:14:17,512
Hi-yo, Platelet, away!

153
00:14:52,392 --> 00:14:55,383
<i>Chemo went to a lot of trouble
to get that nuke.</i>

154
00:14:55,591 --> 00:14:58,052
<i>But for whom is the question.</i>

155
00:14:59,345 --> 00:15:02,432
<i>Who's the real brain
behind this mindless brute?</i>

156
00:15:04,142 --> 00:15:07,895
<i>You poor, pitiful fool, Batman.</i>

157
00:15:08,021 --> 00:15:10,189
<i>I believe this is checkmate.</i>

158
00:15:10,398 --> 00:15:12,525
<i>The Brain, ironic.</i>

159
00:15:12,775 --> 00:15:16,821
<i>As much fun as it was
watching you match wits with Chemo,</i>

160
00:15:17,071 --> 00:15:22,285
<i>our little toy is now going
where no one will get to it.</i>

161
00:15:22,994 --> 00:15:27,040
<i>And if the Bialyian people
do not surrender to my rule,</i>

162
00:15:27,165 --> 00:15:31,336
<i>my lackey's corrosive juices
will eat through the bomb's housing,</i>

163
00:15:31,419 --> 00:15:36,966
<i>causing an explosion
that will destroy their entire country.</i>

164
00:15:37,216 --> 00:15:41,220
<i>But before we get to that nasty business,
Batman,</i>

165
00:15:41,512 --> 00:15:45,767
<i>I think it is time for Chemo
to put you out of your misery.</i>

166
00:15:50,229 --> 00:15:51,272
Eject.

167
00:16:07,622 --> 00:16:09,540
Batman's brain.

168
00:16:09,665 --> 00:16:12,001
Is that the seed cell you spoke of?

169
00:16:12,126 --> 00:16:16,130
Yes.
This field pressurizer will obliterate it.

170
00:16:26,808 --> 00:16:29,352
What in Davy Jones' Locker
is happening?

171
00:16:29,435 --> 00:16:32,271
They're mutating.
Growing bigger, stronger.

172
00:16:32,355 --> 00:16:36,484
It's as if Batman's been exposed
to Chemo's toxins all over again.

173
00:16:36,692 --> 00:16:38,820
Tell me you have a plan.

174
00:16:54,168 --> 00:16:58,798
<i>Submit, you mindless plebeians.
Bow before the Brain.</i>

175
00:17:47,555 --> 00:17:49,849
<i>And now for the Brain.</i>

176
00:17:53,102 --> 00:17:56,230
Come on, doc,
write us a heroic prescription.

177
00:17:56,439 --> 00:17:58,191
I-- I don't know.

178
00:17:58,316 --> 00:18:02,361
Every course of action I can think of
leads to unacceptable consequences.

179
00:18:02,570 --> 00:18:06,491
Then this is not the time to think,
but the time to act.

180
00:18:06,908 --> 00:18:08,075
No.

181
00:18:08,451 --> 00:18:09,994
What are you doing?

182
00:18:10,203 --> 00:18:13,080
Drawing their forces
so you can destroy the seed cell.

183
00:18:13,289 --> 00:18:14,916
But you'll never survive.

184
00:18:15,124 --> 00:18:19,253
Perhaps.
But at least I'll have one heck of a story.

185
00:18:23,216 --> 00:18:24,550
Huzzah!

186
00:18:27,220 --> 00:18:31,849
Impossible. My plot was foolproof.

187
00:18:35,394 --> 00:18:36,771
Batman.

188
00:18:37,146 --> 00:18:39,190
I'm taking you in.

189
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,109
A brave, but futile gesture, detective.

190
00:18:42,318 --> 00:18:47,406
The fast-replicating silicates Chemo
infected you with are going to kill you.

191
00:18:47,657 --> 00:18:51,035
Even now, you can barely stand.

192
00:18:57,667 --> 00:19:00,461
So it comes down to this.

193
00:19:00,545 --> 00:19:04,715
Brain versus brawn,
<i>mano y mano,</i>

194
00:19:04,924 --> 00:19:07,552
locked in mortal combat.

195
00:19:18,312 --> 00:19:19,188
Huh?

196
00:19:21,065 --> 00:19:22,525
Platelet!

197
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,027
Now you've done it.

198
00:19:39,625 --> 00:19:41,252
Outrageous.

199
00:19:41,335 --> 00:19:44,672
Evildoers, beware my wrath!

200
00:19:46,340 --> 00:19:49,510
- Uh, what about the plan?
- Blah, blah, blah!

201
00:19:49,594 --> 00:19:50,886
Let's punch them.

202
00:20:43,022 --> 00:20:45,066
Now who's the weakling?

203
00:20:45,191 --> 00:20:48,569
And so it ends.

204
00:20:55,743 --> 00:20:59,288
But Chemo's microorganisms
should have killed you.

205
00:20:59,705 --> 00:21:02,583
I've got microorganisms
of my own, Brain.

206
00:21:02,708 --> 00:21:04,710
And mine work for the good guys.

207
00:21:05,294 --> 00:21:07,797
Die, you fleshy fool.

208
00:21:16,430 --> 00:21:18,474
Your mind is twisted, Brain.

209
00:21:18,557 --> 00:21:24,063
You can think about the error of your ways
while doing hard time in a Bialyian prison.

210
00:21:27,858 --> 00:21:32,613
I've not seen heroics like yours
since the time I saved an elderly merman

211
00:21:32,697 --> 00:21:36,367
from a pack of great whites.
Good show.

212
00:21:36,617 --> 00:21:42,164
But, you know, coming to my aid like that
was not the rational course of action, doc.

213
00:21:42,373 --> 00:21:46,210
Let's call it
a momentary lapse in judgment.

214
00:21:46,460 --> 00:21:51,090
Our victory though has come
at a great cost.

215
00:21:51,340 --> 00:21:54,969
Ah, Platelet.
I'm so sorry, Aquaman.

216
00:21:55,052 --> 00:21:57,096
He was a valiant steed.

217
00:21:57,221 --> 00:21:59,807
But lymphocytes never last long.

218
00:22:00,891 --> 00:22:05,813
Come then, let us honor Platelet
and live as heroes.

219
00:22:06,105 --> 00:22:08,315
Take us home, old chum.

220
00:22:09,358 --> 00:22:10,735
There's only one way out.

221
00:22:10,818 --> 00:22:13,487
Left at the jugular,
then on toward a tear duct.

222
00:22:13,612 --> 00:22:16,157
Tear duct? But surely

223
00:22:16,365 --> 00:22:18,743
Batman never cries.
