All language subtitles for 1 - Legends of the Superheroes - S01E01 - The Challenge (January 18, 1979)

Legends of the superheroes.

For centuries, the world has been
protected by a group of extraordinary

men and women who have dedicated
themselves to fighting crime.

Ladies and gentlemen, the world's
mightiest mortal.

Shazam! And now, with the wisdom,
strength, and courage of the gods,

Captain Marvel fights a never-ending
battle against evil.

Guardian of the universe and possessor
of an incredible power ring, the Green

Lantern has the ability to perform
amazing feats against evildoers.

Sentinel of the skies, winged phantom of
the night, the Hawkman fights the evils

of the present with the weapons of the
past.

Combining beauty, wisdom, and physical
prowess, the Huntress fights a constant

battle against crime and injustice.

Joy of the oppressed, wonder of the
multitudes, the flesh!

This crime fighter is swifter than the
speed of light, lighter than the

rapidity of thought.

With the uncanny ability to generate
earth-shattering sound waves, the Black

Canary fights a relentless battle
against criminal injustice.

With his reckless grin, Devil May Care
courage and incredible gymnastic skills,

Robin the Boy Wonder is Batman's
crime-fighting companion.

His symbol a frightening creature of the
night. His disguise strikes terror into

the criminal heart. Batman the Caped
Crusader has pledged his life to

fighting the forces of evil.

Somewhere in a secret hideout located on
a remote island, the arch enemies of our

superheroes have gathered to hatch a
diabolical plot to destroy the world.

Attention, ladies and gentlemen.

I should like to call this meeting to
order.

I, Mordrew, Master of the Universe,
command you...

Proceed. The secretary will call the
roll.

Riddler. Roll call.

Read me this.

What humanoid creature was spawned in a
swamp and is feared far and wide for his

brute strength?

Hey, Solomon Grundy.

He's calling you.

How I know.

He talks funny.

You know the Riddler. That's the way he
talks.

One more.

What humanoid creature was spawned in
the swamp and is feared for... Can

we

assume Solomon Grundy is here?

Enemy this.

What villain is the sworn enemy of the
Green Lantern and uses his power ring

for... Evil.

Sinestro.

I am beginning to think this is a
fightless job.

It'll be this.

Hot master villain can terrorize good
people everywhere with his villainous

control of the weather.

Weather wizard.

Would you guys just answer with your
name, please?

What seven-foot woman used to be a
gorilla in a zoo until

an evolution machine turned her into a
living beast?

She is the strongest woman in the world.

Evil genius has perverted all his
scientific knowledge to crime and has

created the doomsday device and will
destroy the world.

That's just me. That's just me talking
about you.

eventually lead them here to our domed
retreat and the doomsday machine.

Lead them here? Stop, eh? But too late,
upper, too late, upper, too late. All

the tools will just be trapped.

Delaying tactics, tantalizing them into
thinking they can stop us.

Yes,

yes, but who is...

The artful creator of puzzles.

None other than the Riddler.

All right, the Riddler.

Give them the French food. Give them the
French food. Wait, wait, wait.

Don't rush me.

This takes creativity. I am a genius,
but Rome wasn't built in a day.

superheroes, or in deference to the
ladies, superpersons, were gathered here

tonight to pay tribute to one of our
former colleagues, and perhaps the

greatest superhero of all.

When many of us were still in short
leotards, this man was saving the

world virtually single-handed.

Let's have a warm super welcome for
retired...

I wish you'd quit calling me.

I want people to remember me by my old
name. The name that struck terror in the

hearts of villains everywhere.

The Scarlet and... Cyclone.

Something like that.

Scarlet Cyclone. That's it.

And gratitude.

And gratitude for all your past services
to mankind.

Or in deference to the ladies, person
kind.

We've all chipped in for this little
token of our esteem.

Here you are.

Read the inscription.

Bolivar. No, the other side.

Are you kidding?

I can't read that without my glasses.

But you're wearing your glasses.

Something coming in over the medicine
center.

Oh, bring it here, laddie boobie.

Thank you, Robin.

The button's in the secret room.

Find it and you're free from doom.

You'll never make it is what we're
betting because 50 minutes is all you're

getting. What does it all mean?

I'll tell you what it means.

It's diabolical.

If Shakespeare had had the Riddler's
mind, there's no telling how far he

would have gone.

What about the message?

The message can mean only one thing.

The villains have set off a doomsday
device.

And if we don't find it and stop it in
50 minutes, the world will be destroyed.

Where is this doomsday device?

I don't know.

But we must find it.

Now, I think we can cover more ground if
we split up.

What if one of us finds it? How will we
tell the others?

That's a good question.

I know. There's a gas station just down
the road.

Leave any information that you find
there.

Superheroes!

Come on, Robin, to the Batmobile!

Could it be the superheroes have finally
met their match?

Don't go away.

A few more men.

I think they shall be looking for a
little roadside service.

And you, Solomon Grundy, are going to
give it to them.

No, no, no, that's no good.

That's no good. They're sure to
recognize him.

Oh, no.

Not with this.

As long as he wears this hat, his face
will appear

completely different to anyone who sees
him.

Oh, just like heaven can wait.

Just put on the hat.

You know what to do.

Grundy, no.

Grundy, bust Batmobile.

Well, he's certainly got the spirit.

with funny ears and a cape.

Yeah, and he's with this little dude in
hot pants and leprechaun shoes.

Yeah, they just drove in.

Holy smoke, Batman.

May I help you?

Yes, we're in a big hurry. Can you fix
the car?

Sure, I fix.

Oh, I see problem.

Loose part.

Are you sure you're a licensed mechanic?

Sure.

Say so right here.

Solomon Grundy.

I've been looking forward to this for a
long time, Grundy.

Holy overmatch, Batman. No one can
handle Solomon Grundy.

Well, I'll just crack it up a notch.

Good, correct, Batman. Now he thinks
you're hurt.

You better get going.

Well, not yet, Robin.

I've got a score to settle.

It's not whether you win or lose. It's
how you play the game.

Sheep shot that man. Let's go. We have
more important things to do.

Well, maybe you're right, Robert.

We'll meet again, Grundy.

I be waiting.

That should slow them up for a while,
yes?

All right, all right.

Let's get started on the next one.

How about it, Riddler?

Yes, yes, yes.

Don't jest me. Have you got any idea?

I've just been working it out with
Sinestro here.

See you later.

I'll be seeing you in a minute.

is up to you.

Find your fortune.

That's the clue.

Fortune?

Will this clue lead the Green Lantern to
the doomsday device?

Find your fortune. Find your... Saving
the world is up to you.

Find your fortune. That's the clue. Find
your fortune. Find your... What can that

possibly mean?

Fortune! That must be it.

Quick, I'm trying to find a secret
location.

Can you tell me where I'm supposed to
go?

Go? Did you say go?

I see that you are going on a seven-day
cruise.

Seven-day cruise? With a beautiful
brunette.

Look, I don't want to meet a brunette.

Make it a blonde.

These cruises are dynamite. Forget the
crystal ball. This isn't getting us

anywhere. I've got to know where I'm
supposed to go. The fate of the world

depends upon it. Then why didn't you say
so? There's only one thing to do. What?

Analyze your handwriting.

Write what I tell you.

We don't have time for that.

Of course we do. This is the only way I
can tell you where to go.

Okay, okay.

What should I write?

On the sunny side of the street.

You know something?

This is very interesting.

You see the large loops on your ears?
The way you extend the tail

of the wire?

The way you omit it to cross the teeth?

You're obviously an introvert.

Withdrawn. Don't want people to get to
know you too well.

You can tell all that from my
handwriting.

Of course, from your handwriting and
your mask.

I use my mask in my work.

You do?

Well, then you're obviously a burglar or
the long range.

I'm not a burglar. Well, then give my
regards to Tonto.

Look, time is running out.

Yes. I know.

I've got to know where I'm supposed to
go.

Very simple, pussycat.

The answer, my friend, is in your palm.
You have...

That's a very interesting ring that you

have there.

You have to come off. Wait a minute.

You're wearing a very unusual ring, too.

That can only mean one thing.

We're engaged.

You're not a gypsy. Who?

You're Sinestro. Right. Green lanterns.
In the brightest day, in the darkest

night, no evil shall escape my sight.

Let those who worship evil's might
beware my power. Green lanterns light.

Not bad.

How do you like this one?

Mary had her little lamb, the fleece was
white as snow.

Everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was
sure to go.

Go for your power rings, Sinestro.

Aha!

Nothing I can do but keep looking.

Look at that. Look at that. Oh,
imbecile.

You better get him back here. Do it.

Carol.

You fool.

You let him get away.

At least I slowed him up a little bit.

Why didn't you run after him?

Why? Because it's not ladylike.

You couldn't slow down the losers in a
three-legged race.

Do you think you can do better?

Just watch me.

I think about now Batman and Robin might
be looking for a new set of wheels.

Good luck, weather wizard.

Yeah, yeah, that's a good one.

Holy blisters, Batman.

If we don't get a ride soon, we'll never
be able to save the world in time.

I've told you once, I've told you ten
thousand times, Robin, patience is a

virtue.

Something will turn up.

What can turn up? We're out in the
middle of nowhere.

Look over there, Robin.

What a stroke of luck, Batman.

A little too lucky, if you ask me.

This looks mighty suspicious, old chum.
What shall we do, Batman?

There is too much at stake to leave any
stone unturned.

We'll just have to play along and see
where it leads.

Ah, Batman and Robin, why, I'm honored.
What brings you to Anastel's Used Car

Dealership? That's Anastel's at the
intersection of Lancaster and First,

where the freeways meet in Downey in the
heart of downtown Sylmar, the earthquake

capital of the West Coast. Si habla,
espiano.

What it is, Peña, owing to unfortunate
circumstances, we find ourselves in the

need of...

Some mode of transportation, nothing
fancy, of course.

Holy time bomb, Batman. This is an
emergency. Now, Robin, we mustn't rush

into this. An automobile is the second
biggest purchase a person makes in his

lifetime. Next to his home, of course.

Well, I have just what you're looking
for, boys.

Take a look at this little cream puff
right here. Now, you may not believe

this, but this was driven by my own mom
on Tuesdays and Thursdays to church.

Tuesdays and Thursdays? Those were bingo
nights.

Let's grab it, Batman.

Now, hold on a moment, young Robin. We
want to make sure this vehicle's safe.

Holy Ralph, later, Batman. We don't have
time for safety. The world is going to

blow up. Robin, motoring safety is the
responsibility of each and every

citizen. Absolutely, Kate Crusader.

And this car here couldn't be safer.

Let me show you what I mean.

Well, this one happens to be equipped
with a new breakaway door system, which,

of course, is very safe and makes for a
quick escape in case of an accident.

Well, I'm not too sure about this, Don
Estelle.

Yeah, I know how you feel.

Look, what you need to do is get in and
try it out for yourself.

Sit down.

Make yourself at home.

Try the horn.

Wait, the horn works.

Let's kick it.

Wait a minute, fellas.

You've got to try the heater.

The heater?

It's the middle of... Come on, Batman.

There's something to what the teen
wonder says.

Oh, yeah?

Watch this.

Let that be a lesson to you, Robin. You
can never outguess Mother Nature.

The car looks fine.

We'll take it.

Holy relief, Batman.

You know, this view to your list for
$399.95, but I'll tell you what.

Maybe I could knock off a couple of
bucks. You give me $125, that leaves you

with payments of $36.50 a month for 42
months.

It's a deferred payment price of
$9.52.35 for an annual percentage rate

of 18.5% on approved credit, naturally.

Great. Give him the money, Batman.

Oh, but I can't. I left my credit cards
in the Batmobile.

Well, wait a minute.

How do you fix for cash? Cash?

Yeah, what do you got on you?

Oh, I only have $50.

You think I'd ever carry more money than
I can afford to lose.

Fifty dollars, huh?

Well, uh, this is your lucky day, pal.

Follow me. I got something I'm gonna fix
you up with. You're gonna love it. Right

this way. Uh, hand me the green stuff
first.

Oh,

boy, you're gonna love this. This was
used by a cop in Pasadena to bust up

some of those bingo games Mom used to be
at all the time.

We'll take it.

And smart you are, my friend.

This baby will give you years of
faithful service.

Okay, guys. Mission accomplished. Those
fellows won't last five minutes on that

motorcycle.

Good work, Brother Wizard.

Good.

Will the Caped Crusader and the Teen
Thunderbolt fall victim to the villain's

plot? The world is at stake. Stay tuned.

I never believed what just flew in here.

Batmobile. Batman must have found out
something.

You need help?

Oh, are you the station owner?

No, sir.

Did you see who left this car here?

No, sir.

Seems odd.

But you've got an honest face.

You ever heard of Batman and Robin?

No, sir.

I know they're around here someplace.

I'm going to look for myself.

No, sir.

Alice, remember I was telling you about
that great big guy, the one with the

ugly face?

Yeah, well, he just jumped the one with
the wings.

What do you mean, when am I coming home
for dinner? I wouldn't leave here for a

million dollars.

I got to see who's going to show up
next.

Now we see Hawkman.

Why?

Faster, Batman, faster.

He's wide open, Robin.

Holy separation, Batman.

Don't forget, Robin, keep it under 55.

on this one.

Did you call?

I'm the Black Paneri. Any messages for
me?

No, ma'am.

Hmm, that's strange.

Haven't you seen anyone today wearing a
cape?

No, ma'am. No capes. Anyone with wings?

Uh, no wings so far today.

I can't believe it. Nobody's been here.

I mean, hasn't anybody been here who's a
little...

No, ma'am. You're the first.

What was that?

I'd better check.

Excuse me, ma'am.

Solomon Grundy!

Alice,

here's the lady.

Remember the guy, the ugly guy?

The one with the hat?

Yeah. Well, now, you know, the one that
had the guy with the wig.

Well, now he's got the girl with the big
mouth.

Great. I haven't had this much fun since
I whipped up Hurricane Hilda. I think we

should direct our attention to a certain
flying captain.

As always, the Riddler's anticipated
you.

Leave it to me, Skipper.

Ah, it's so beautiful out here.

Quiet place.

So romantic.

Just the two of us.

Alone.

If our device

you wish to find just look inside

your super mind.

Rummishave?

Clue must be out here somewhere.

But where?

Wait a minute.

Those signs, that's it.

The secret's locked inside my super
mind.

It must be the answer is locked inside
my subconscious.

But it would take a psychiatrist to
unlock that secret.

And where can I find a psychiatrist out
here?

As you can see, I've been expecting you.
Do lie down, please.

Now, suppose we begin with your name.
What is your name?

Captain Marvel.

Captain Marvel.

Did your parents give you that name, or
did you pick it when you bought the

outfit?

Actually...

My real name is Billy Batson. Hold on,
hold on. And what's all this business

about Captain Marvin?

Captain Marvel.

Whatever, whatever.

You see, it was given to me by an
ancient wizard.

An ancient wizard?

Suppose you tell me about this ancient
wizard, except the part about his weird

sense of humor.

Look, I really don't have time for this.

You have to unlock a secret that's
inside my subconscious. Oh, in due time,

Captain Melvin.

Marvelous marks.

Hold on, hold on. You know, it seems to
me that you're a victim of an identity

crisis. First your name is Marvel, then
it's Betsy, now it's Marvin. What is it?

I mean, that's all. It seems to me that
you are suffering from a classic case of

split personality.

But you don't understand. I have to save
the world from destruction.

And the notions of grandeur.

Personality can be a very dangerous
thing. Yes.

There are many manifestations of the
various aspects of

schizophrenia.

Oh, schizophrenia. I distinctly remember
the case of Oscar Hinckley.

Oh, what a sad, sad man was he. And I
might add, from time to time, woman.

fortunate thing for you, my son.

The split personality happens to be my
specialty.

Well, who asked you, boy?

Now, what's wrong with you? I know what
I'm doing.

I am the psychiatrist. You are the
patient.

Never, never, I say never interrupt me
when I am talking.

Sorry. You did it again, boy. What's
wrong with you?

Now, you want me to... Unlock the secret
of your subconscious, then you have got

to just lie there and you have got to
listen to me.

Hold on, hold on. How do you expect me
to help you if you're just going to lie

there like some sort of dummy?

You must open up to me.

Doctor, you don't seem to understand.

I have to find the location of that
secret Doomsday device, and I've only

got about 20 minutes.

19, actually.

I'm going to play with him much as a cat
does a mouse.

I know I'll let him know that he's
looking for a lake.

Well, then, suppose we play a word
association game.

I want you to say the first thing that
pops into your mind.

Water.

Ocean. Be smaller.

Pond. Tahoe.

Reno.

Salt Blank City.

The Blanks have a little choir.
Veronica.

Lake. Michigan.

Arizona. Desert.

Water. Lake. That's it.

It pops right out of my subconscious.

You may.

and are looking for a lake.

Ontario! Canada!

Maltese! Maltese! My good man, did you
see you're looking for a

lake? A lake?

Yes. Then I'd better get going. There
must be a hundred lakes in this area.

Shall we say a thousand?

No!

when he's talking to God.

And child, God's answer.

Solomon Grundy!

Hawkman! Black Canary!

You can't scare me, Grundy. I am the
world's mightiest mortal.

Grundy mightier than you.

Anything you do, Grundy do better.

Oh, yeah?

Let's see you beat this.

I thought you'd be impressed.

Grundy win easy.

I

don't

think so, Solomon. Mine went a good 20
yards past yours.

You don't have to take my word for it.
Go see for yourself.

Okay. You wait here.

Hard to tell from here, Alice, but I
think the one in the red suit beat him

by about 20 yards.

Did you find out anything?

Yes. The villain's hideout is at a lake,
but there's no way of knowing which

lake. What?

There's only one lake around here with
an island. Hidden Island Lake. We've got

to tell the others. There's no time.

Oh, yes, there is.

Our heroes are on the way, but is there
enough time?

I can't believe it.

I can't believe it.

They know about the island. Look, look.

They're heading to the lake right now.

More than that.

Mordor, they'll never get here in time.

I don't understand.

There's too much at stake.

We've got to make sure.

If you will permit me, I believe I have
the answer.

Here, my latest chemical formula.

I have been waiting for the chance to
try this out, and the heroes, once

they've done this, they temporarily lose
all their powers. How are you going to

get them to drink that?

The simplest thing in the world.

The heroes aren't very good guys, right?

Pussycats. They're suckers for anybody
in trouble.

I must

be the first

one here.

Lemonade, mister?

Only five cents a glass.

I don't have time for that now, son.

Oh, please, sir, please. My ma is sick,
and I'm raising my brother and sister,

and we're going to get evicted tomorrow,
and my father's in jail.

And they wouldn't bury my grandmother
until I come up with the money.

All right, all right, dear.

Keep the change.

Thank you, sir. Thank you. You wouldn't
regret it. Oh, you're going to like it.

It's good. You're going to like it.
Think up, sir.

Thanks, Sonny.

What happened?

I can't fly.

What? My superpowers.

to get to that island somehow.

Stay close, John.

Remember, never go swimming without a
buddy.

Come on, these will get us to the
island.

Motu! Motu!

There goes the dynamic duo.

They're headed for the island.

You must stop them! Stop them!

Well, in that case, I think I'll leave.

Look out!

I tell you, look out!

You're not doing too well.

Good, good.

They will never get to the island in
time.

My doomsday device will be successful
after all.

Look at those

superheroes. They're nothing without
their power.

Oh, I will compose a great poem about
this. The world will finally...

Appreciate me.

Three minutes, there won't be a world.

You mean, I finally have my moment of
glory and no one will know.

Hey, you guys were terrific.

Terrific.

Thank you. Oh, don't thank him. Thank
me. Thank me. It was all my idea. Thank

you.

Who else?

Who else? To the doomsday device,
correct?

Gentlemen, we've had our fun. The game
is done.

The heroes weave out class. It proves
what we've always said. Nice, guys.

Finished. Blast.

This tastes kind of funny.

I feel strange.

Wait a minute. Where did you get that
stuff? From this bottle.

Oh, Joe.

Looking, lad, we've got to find it.

Hi.

Hi, Batman. A long time no see.

All right, Riddler.

Look, let's talk this over. I'll
mobilize you. I'll bring the pump. Oh,

for you. Don't hit me. Don't. Don't hit
me.

You're a brilliant mind, Riddler, but
you're a coward.

Nobody's perfect. Where's the doomsday
device?

Is that all you want?

It's up there.

It's up there.

Lady, don't hurt my doomsday device.
It's my crowning glory.

Your doomsday advice.

That's right, Jack.

Batman. Captain Marvel, my boy.

Excuse me, my dear.

Okay, let's take him away.

Good work, Mark.

Quick flash. Very quick.

Good work, Rainey.

Thanks to our superhero, justice has

once again triumphed over evil.

The case is over.

I'm here to save the world.

oh
