defends his post

appeared poised to win.'

You might say
the classics inspire me.
8
00:00:23,012 --> 00:00:26,002
After all, the Greeks
and the Romans proved
9
00:00:26,004 --> 00:00:30,024
that great societies rise
through strong leadership.

00:00:30,023 --> 00:00:32,013

'But despite his popularity'

when his campaign unveiled'

I shall remodel our city's

Glad I didn't vote for him.

You'd be sharp,
looking all Spartacus, pop.
19

With nearly all the votes
tallied, Mayor Grange
20
00:00:55,008 --> 00:00:58,008
is guaranteed
a resounding victory tonight.
21
00:00:58,013 --> 00:01:02,013

Zeus' corporate headquarters.

She's hacked into our system.
186
00:13:36,006 --> 00:13:38,006
Our gremlin.
187
00:13:39,019 --> 00:13:41,009
'Show yourself, Batgirl'
188
00:13:41,012 --> 00:13:45,002
'and I shall reconsider
dispatching your partner.'
189
00:13:45,003 --> 00:13:46,013
Hmph. "Partner?"
190
00:13:46,015 --> 00:13:47,015
That would suggest we actually
191
00:13:47,023 --> 00:13:50,013
speak once in a while.
192
00:13:50,012 --> 00:13:53,022
'You know,
keep each other in the loop?'
193
00:13:55,012 --> 00:13:57,022
Enough! He meets his end.
194
00:13:58,001 --> 00:14:00,011
Oh, Maxie,
you may wanna hold off on that.
195
00:14:00,016 --> 00:14:04,006
If you ever wanna see
your bolt-firing thingy again
196
00:14:04,010 --> 00:14:06,010
over and out.
197
00:14:06,012 --> 00:14:08,022
(Zeus)
Search every level.
198
00:14:11,008 --> 00:14:13,008
I want her found.
199
00:14:18,004 --> 00:14:21,004
That ought to give Bats
the space he needs to cut loose.
200
00:14:21,003 --> 00:14:23,003
[phone ringing]
201
00:14:24,011 --> 00:14:26,021
Monogrammed stockings.
Janet speaking.
202
00:14:27,001 --> 00:14:29,001
Can't you just once
answer like a normal person?
203
00:14:29,006 --> 00:14:31,006
(Batgirl)
'Well, I gotta be me, pop.'
204
00:14:31,008 --> 00:14:33,008
I just wanted to make sure
you made it home safe, Barb.
205
00:14:33,011 --> 00:14:35,011
We've declared
a citywide emergency.
206
00:14:35,008 --> 00:14:37,008
(Batgirl)
'Then maybe we should keep
the phone lines clear.'
207
00:14:37,010 --> 00:14:39,000
'Love you, kisses.'
208
00:14:43,009 --> 00:14:44,019
Erin's hair salon.
209
00:14:45,001 --> 00:14:47,001
(Zeus)
'Code names will do you no good'
210
00:14:47,005 --> 00:14:49,015
as we have locked
on to your frequency
211
00:14:49,021 --> 00:14:52,021
'and triangulated
your location.'
212
00:14:54,009 --> 00:14:56,019

00:15:13,022 --> 00:15:14,022
Ah!
216
00:15:18,002 --> 00:15:19,002

[men grunting]
218
00:15:35,020 --> 00:15:37,020
No sign of her.
219
00:15:37,022 --> 00:15:40,002
(Zeus)
Keep looking.
220
00:15:40,006 --> 00:15:43,016
We must retrieve
the master bolt transducer.
221
00:15:49,011 --> 00:15:50,021
[dialing]
222
00:15:58,010 --> 00:16:00,020
(Zeus)
Well, well.
223
00:16:00,023 --> 00:16:03,013
If it isn't the gremlin.
224
00:16:03,016 --> 00:16:05,016
I will take the device.
225
00:16:14,002 --> 00:16:15,022
You wouldn't dare.
226
00:16:17,009 --> 00:16:18,999
shatter
227
00:16:19,002 --> 00:16:21,012
It broke, Maxie.
228
00:16:22,011 --> 00:16:25,021
Then I shall break you.
229
00:16:26,019 --> 00:16:28,019

[grunts]
232
00:16:36,021 --> 00:16:40,001
And the name is Maximillian.

234
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,000

[explosion]
236
00:16:53,004 --> 00:16:56,014
Damage to antigrav unit.
We're losing altitude.
237
00:16:57,010 --> 00:16:59,010

[explosions]
242
00:17:26,004 --> 00:17:28,024
Cowards. I command you to stop.
243
00:17:28,022 --> 00:17:33,012
Oh, Maxie, if the crew's
jumping ship, who's driving?
244
00:17:33,008 --> 00:17:36,008
It is the Fates
who steer New Olympus
245
00:17:36,014 --> 00:17:39,014
into the heart of Gotham.
246
00:17:39,009 --> 00:17:40,019
Get to an escape pod.
247
00:17:40,021 --> 00:17:43,011
Sorry, Bat,
but I'm needed in the cockpit.
248
00:17:45,017 --> 00:17:46,997
[explosion]
249
00:17:47,003 --> 00:17:48,023
(Batman)
It's over, Zeus.
250
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,000
We need you to land this craft.
251
00:17:51,004 --> 00:17:54,014
If I must fall from the heavens,
Batman
252
00:17:54,013 --> 00:17:57,003
then I shall take you with me.
253
00:17:57,006 --> 00:18:00,006

255
00:18:07,018 --> 00:18:10,018
Autopilot, huh?
Won't be needing that.

261
00:18:44,015 --> 00:18:45,995
Batgirl.

[grunts]
264
00:18:51,021 --> 00:18:54,021
Gotta steer this boat
to a safe..
265
00:18:56,007 --> 00:18:57,017
...harbor!
266
00:19:01,006 --> 00:19:03,016
whoosh
267
00:19:11,012 --> 00:19:13,012
Come on.
268
00:19:21,008 --> 00:19:23,008
Nice landing.
269
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:30,000
[groans]
The New Olympus?
270
00:19:30,004 --> 00:19:32,004
(Batman)
'It's on its way to becoming'
271
00:19:32,002 --> 00:19:34,002
'the new Atlantis.'
272
00:19:36,022 --> 00:19:38,012
'She'll need work.'
273
00:19:38,012 --> 00:19:39,022
EXP drives need tuning
274
00:19:39,020 --> 00:19:41,020
and the fuel lines
are waterlogged.
275
00:19:41,023 --> 00:19:44,013
Thankfully, the Batgirl
proved more durable
276
00:19:44,015 --> 00:19:46,005
than the Batwing.
277
00:19:47,021 --> 00:19:50,021
[instrumental music]
278
00:19:52,009 --> 00:19:53,999
You're right, Alfred.
279
00:19:54,006 --> 00:19:57,006
I think Batgirl's earned
some wings of her own.
280
00:20:02,001 --> 00:20:04,011
Where is the Batman?
281
00:20:04,008 --> 00:20:06,008
Out of the loop, again.
282
00:20:07,019 --> 00:20:09,009
What's that?
283
00:20:19,009 --> 00:20:21,009
I'm in the loop.
284
00:20:22,022 --> 00:20:25,022
