1. We have previously
seen a prison ball game.
Copy !req
2. The Joker threw a curve...
Copy !req
3. and sprung himself.
Copy !req
4. Then a statue in the
comedian's hall of fame...
Copy !req
5. turned into the real thing.
Copy !req
6. Fabulous jewel collection...
Copy !req
7. saved by Batman and Robin.
Copy !req
8. Or was it?
Copy !req
9. Batman used his head.
Copy !req
10. Were they doomed?
Copy !req
11. A trick left.
Copy !req
12. Bat-gas.
Copy !req
13. But the Joker had
a utility belt too.
Copy !req
14. He clowned around...
Copy !req
15. and was unmasked.
Copy !req
16. It was a gas.
Copy !req
17. No, only sneezing powder.
Copy !req
18. Gesundheit.
Copy !req
19. The dynamic duo was helpless.
Copy !req
20. The Joker decided
to unmask them.
Copy !req
21. The worst is yet to come.
Copy !req
22. And now, my anonymous nemesis...
Copy !req
23. let's see who you are
behind that mask of yours...
Copy !req
24. Oh, ho! A twist.
Fight water with fire.
Copy !req
25. The Joker, he's getting away.
Copy !req
26. I'll get him.
Copy !req
27. You're trapped, Joker.
Copy !req
28. As a duly deputized
agent of the law...
Copy !req
29. I order you to surrender.
Copy !req
30. As the clown prince of
crime, I decline. Ha, ha, ha, ha!
Copy !req
31. I hope this doesn't depress you.
Copy !req
32. It's time for you to sing a
different tune, my crooked clown.
Copy !req
33. Songs are for parties, my
caped copper. Heh, heh, heh!
Copy !req
34. And so is confetti.
Copy !req
35. So why don't you join
the fun? Ho, ho, ho, ho!
Copy !req
36. I'm sorry you can't join
me, my helpless hero.
Copy !req
37. But I see you're tied up with
other things. Aha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
Copy !req
38. Batman. Batman.
Copy !req
39. Holy serpentine, what happened?
Copy !req
40. This time, the
Joker gave the party.
Copy !req
41. Next time, we'll hand
out the door prizes.
Copy !req
42. Have Batman and Boy
Wonder finally met their match?
Copy !req
43. Will the Joker's utility belt
prove their ultimate undoing?
Copy !req
44. These are the questions all
Gotham City is asking itself tonight.
Copy !req
45. Have Batman and Boy
Wonder finally met their match?
Copy !req
46. Will the Joker's utility belt
prove their ultimate undoing?
Copy !req
47. In a filmed interview
at his office today...
Copy !req
48. Police Commissioner Gordon
had answers to these questions.
Copy !req
49. Commissioner Gordon, have Batman
and Boy Wonder finally met their match?
Copy !req
50. Well, let me say this,
Fred. I... I'd hate to think so.
Copy !req
51. Do you think the Joker's utility
belt will prove their ultimate undoing?
Copy !req
52. Heaven help us all if it does.
Copy !req
53. Amen.
Copy !req
54. Thus Commissioner Gordon and Chief O'Hara
echo the sentiments of all Gotham City.
Copy !req
55. For even as that interview
was being filmed...
Copy !req
56. criminals of every kind, emboldened by
the dynamic duo's seeming impotence...
Copy !req
57. were combining to create a crime wave the
likes of which Gotham City has seldom seen.
Copy !req
58. In this hour of
peril and need...
Copy !req
59. perhaps all our prayers are best
summed up by my small son, Harold.
Copy !req
60. Just 8 years old.
Copy !req
61. Kneeling beside his little bed,
hands clasped reverently before him...
Copy !req
62. he said, "God bless
Mommy, God bless Daddy...
Copy !req
63. God bless my dog, Spot.
Copy !req
64. And please, Batman, whoever
you are behind that mask of yours...
Copy !req
65. please, save us."
Copy !req
66. Turn it off, Alfred.
Copy !req
67. Wait a minute.
Copy !req
68. Hold that camera still.
Copy !req
69. How do you focus this thing?
Copy !req
70. No hard feelings, Freddy.
Copy !req
71. Places, everyone.
Ha, ha, ha, ha!
Copy !req
72. - Let's race to the studio.
- No time for that now. Look.
Copy !req
73. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen,
and welcome to What's My Crime.
Copy !req
74. It seems that your inept dynamic
duo is having a little difficulty...
Copy !req
75. in figuring out just what
my next crime will be.
Copy !req
76. So I thought it only fair, under the
circumstances, to give them a little hint. Ha, ha!
Copy !req
77. Are you listening out there,
Fatman and Boy Blunder?
Copy !req
78. Boy, how I'd like to top
him with a punch line.
Copy !req
79. Quiet, listen. His insane
conceit may betray him.
Copy !req
80. Are your masks in place, panel?
Copy !req
81. - Oh, yes.
- Very well then.
Copy !req
82. Let the game commence.
Copy !req
83. Does this crime involve
an article of clothing?
Copy !req
84. - Right.
- Like a belt maybe?
Copy !req
85. Astonishing. Right again.
Copy !req
86. It involves a belt, but
there's going to be a switch.
Copy !req
87. - A switch.
- An electric switch.
Copy !req
88. Wrong, panel.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
Copy !req
89. A switch but not electric.
Copy !req
90. As you doubtless know, every wrong answer
means that we contribute one dollar...
Copy !req
91. to the famous Joker's
Home for Worn-Out Bats.
Copy !req
92. - Ho, ho, ho! Hey, Joker,
cop cars in the street.
Copy !req
93. Oh! Let's cheese it.
Copy !req
94. Fatman and Boy Blunder...
Copy !req
95. are your blindfolds in place?
Copy !req
96. Very well, then. Ask yourselves
what is wrong with this sentence:
Copy !req
97. "He who laughs
last, laughs good."
Copy !req
98. Holy grammar, is that all?
Copy !req
99. He who laughs last,
laughs best, not good.
Copy !req
100. Best, best, best.
Copy !req
101. Do you suppose "blindfold"
might have something to do with it?
Copy !req
102. Eh, if I may venture an opinion, sir, I think
Master Dick may have put his finger on it.
Copy !req
103. Blindfold?
Copy !req
104. No, sir, grammar.
Copy !req
105. The sentence was grammatically
incorrect. One does not laugh good, sir.
Copy !req
106. One laughs well.
Copy !req
107. Why, that's it,
Alfred. Laughs well.
Copy !req
108. Lafwell.
Copy !req
109. Professor James J. Lafwell.
Copy !req
110. Holy safari, the one that
just got back from Africa...
Copy !req
111. with a collection of rare
masks and objects of art.
Copy !req
112. That's where the blindfold
part would come in, sir.
Copy !req
113. And they're being stored at
the Last Longer Warehouse.
Copy !req
114. To the Batmobile.
Copy !req
115. We'll use the Batrope...
Copy !req
116. and take them by
surprise. Stand clear.
Copy !req
117. No matter what, we
mustn't fail this time, Robin.
Copy !req
118. Sometimes I think people
expect too much of us, Batman.
Copy !req
119. They have a right to expect it.
Copy !req
120. But we're only human.
Copy !req
121. - All too true.
- We only have so much to give.
Copy !req
122. Try to explain that to little Harold
kneeling beside his bed saying his prayers.
Copy !req
123. Stand and fight, Joker.
Copy !req
124. Let us away. Let us away.
Copy !req
125. Holy Fourth of
July, what's this?
Copy !req
126. This was just
the curtain raiser.
Copy !req
127. Next time, you'll get the real
show-stopper. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
Copy !req
128. That's not your belt.
Copy !req
129. No.
Copy !req
130. It's a clever replica of
the Joker's utility belt.
Copy !req
131. But how...?
Copy !req
132. He must've slipped it
on me during the struggle.
Copy !req
133. Then when you thought you were
stopping him with your utility belt...
Copy !req
134. he was really
stopping us with his.
Copy !req
135. The tricky devil.
Copy !req
136. He's hit us below the belt.
Copy !req
137. Golly.
Copy !req
138. What do you suppose little
Harold's going to think now?
Copy !req
139. All the same.
Copy !req
140. The Joker is wild.
Copy !req
141. Batman and Robin foiled again.
Copy !req
142. Holy headlines, we look
like page one dumbbells.
Copy !req
143. Too true, Robin. The responsibility
of the press is to report the truth...
Copy !req
144. despite what it might
do to our public image.
Copy !req
145. Our main concern is to a frightened
public whom we seem to be failing.
Copy !req
146. Gosh, you're right.
Copy !req
147. I can't help thinking of
only myself. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
148. Well, it's okay, chum. We all have
the right to be selfish sometimes.
Copy !req
149. - Nothing?
- Not so far.
Copy !req
150. But we do know the giggling
fiend's about to pounce again.
Copy !req
151. What was it that he
said in the warehouse?
Copy !req
152. "Next time, you'll get
the real show-stopper."
Copy !req
153. Exactly. Show stopper. Show.
Copy !req
154. Another telecast.
Copy !req
155. I think you're off
the beam, Robin.
Copy !req
156. The Joker's too shrewd a customer
to hurl such an obvious clue.
Copy !req
157. Of course, but I can't help
thinking he slipped up somewhere.
Copy !req
158. Perhaps he's about to.
Copy !req
159. - What do you mean?
- Look at it this way, Robin.
Copy !req
160. He's terrorized Gotham City, baffled the police
department, and held us up to public ridicule.
Copy !req
161. - True.
- Gloating on his own success...
Copy !req
162. he may be planning some super
crime and stumble on his own pride.
Copy !req
163. But how do we go
about stopping him?
Copy !req
164. Just go about our
normal routine...
Copy !req
165. and let the venomous
viper trap himself.
Copy !req
166. And when he does?
Copy !req
167. Snap.
Copy !req
168. - Caught in a bat trap.
- Right.
Copy !req
169. What is it, chum?
Copy !req
170. Oh, the... The launch tomorrow.
Copy !req
171. What about it?
Copy !req
172. I dread facing all those people.
Copy !req
173. We can't disappoint
Commissioner Gordon.
Copy !req
174. And we have to make an
appearance to snare that devil.
Copy !req
175. I see what you mean.
Copy !req
176. I just wish I knew what the
Joker is plotting right now.
Copy !req
177. A scheme to trap
that grinning devil.
Copy !req
178. Meantime, let's get back to
the utility belt he planted on me.
Copy !req
179. Everything's set.
The plan is perfect.
Copy !req
180. Gee, it'll be like a
dream come true.
Copy !req
181. Cruising the world in our
own private luxury ocean liner.
Copy !req
182. Are you sure Batman won't
get in our way somehow?
Copy !req
183. That's right, Joker. We may got
him down, but we ain't got him out.
Copy !req
184. You fools of little faith.
Copy !req
185. I swear by every fiend
of felonious fundom.
Copy !req
186. Tomorrow, all opposition
from the dynamic duo will stop.
Copy !req
187. I've got the stopper right here.
Copy !req
188. The last stopper.
Copy !req
189. - What is it, Joker?
- It's just a cork.
Copy !req
190. A cork, yes, but
not just a cork.
Copy !req
191. Queenie, get me the
bottle of champagne.
Copy !req
192. How are you gonna
stop Batman with that?
Copy !req
193. You gonna get him drunk?
Copy !req
194. Here, Queenie. You know
what to do with this now.
Copy !req
195. Tomorrow night, champagne
for everybody! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
Copy !req
196. What's this?
Copy !req
197. Batman and Robin done in by a
bottle of champagne? Impossible.
Copy !req
198. I don't know what could
be keeping Bruce Wayne...
Copy !req
199. but we just can't hold
this up any longer.
Copy !req
200. Ladies and gentlemen.
Copy !req
201. It gives me great pleasure to present the
two people who will christen the S.S. Gotham.
Copy !req
202. They hardly need
an introduction.
Copy !req
203. Batman and Robin,
the Boy Wonder.
Copy !req
204. Hey, what are you two guys doing out here when
the Joker's out there taking over the city?
Copy !req
205. Um, sorry about that, Batman.
Copy !req
206. Forget about it, Commissioner. Let's
get on with the christening, shall we?
Copy !req
207. Okay. Who's got the champagne?
Copy !req
208. - Here you are, commissioner.
- Well, thank you, my dear.
Copy !req
209. The best French champagne.
Copy !req
210. Here you are.
Copy !req
211. 1949, a very good year.
Copy !req
212. Something, something
wrong, Batman?
Copy !req
213. No, no. It's nothing at all.
Copy !req
214. I just feel a slight
headache coming on.
Copy !req
215. Perhaps one of these tablets.
Copy !req
216. You better take one too,
Robin. It might be contagious.
Copy !req
217. Gee, Batman. I never
heard of a headache being...
Copy !req
218. Doctor's orders, chum.
Copy !req
219. Let me get this out of your way.
Copy !req
220. I hereby christen
thee S.S. Gotham City.
Copy !req
221. Queenie, the switch.
Ha, ha, ha, ha!
Copy !req
222. We're on the air, Joker.
Copy !req
223. Good day, good day. Once more we
interrupt your regularly scheduled program.
Copy !req
224. This is the Joker speaking
from his secret hideout.
Copy !req
225. I have an amusing message for the
directors of the Gotham Steamship Lines.
Copy !req
226. My terms, deliver me title
to the S.S. Gotham, or else.
Copy !req
227. Or else, this whimsical scene,
once part of a waxwork museum...
Copy !req
228. will be reenacted in front of your
eyes with the most hideous reality.
Copy !req
229. You understand, dear fellow
citizens of Gotham City?
Copy !req
230. I get the S.S. Gotham...
Copy !req
231. or your precious dynamic duo gets
launched to eternity. Ha, ha, ha, ha!
Copy !req
232. Wrong, Joker.
Copy !req
233. - You get launched.
- Right back to the pen where you belong.
Copy !req
234. Egads! What sorcery is this?
Copy !req
235. There was enough paralyzing gas in that cork
to keep ordinary men unconscious for hours.
Copy !req
236. No sorcery.
Copy !req
237. Merely the precaution of a
universal drug antidote pill.
Copy !req
238. You're too clever for your
own good this time, Joker.
Copy !req
239. That replica of your
utility belt was too exact.
Copy !req
240. We analyzed the cork in it
and found paralyzing gas.
Copy !req
241. I just happened to notice...
Copy !req
242. the seal around the cork in
that bottle of champagne...
Copy !req
243. was not discolored with age.
Copy !req
244. Odd in a 1949 vintage.
Copy !req
245. It's back to prison
walls for you, Joker.
Copy !req
246. Bah!
Copy !req
247. I'm afraid you're
under arrest, madam.
Copy !req
248. Couldn't we talk it
over, handsome?
Copy !req
249. Poor, deluded child.
Copy !req
250. And so with the
Joker's capture...
Copy !req
251. Gotham City's worst crime wave
in history has come to an end.
Copy !req
252. Tonight, once more, we can
all sleep peacefully in our beds...
Copy !req
253. secure in the knowledge that, as I assured
my small son, Harold, just 8 years old:
Copy !req
254. "Yes, Harold," I said.
Copy !req
255. "There is a Batman and
Robin, the Boy Wonder."
Copy !req
256. After a word from our sponsor...
Copy !req
257. Fred will be back with
more news of the Joker.
Copy !req
258. It's time for your
piano lesson, Dick.
Copy !req
259. Gee, Aunt Harriet, I
wanna hear about the Joker.
Copy !req
260. The Joker?
Copy !req
261. Bruce, I'm surprised at you...
Copy !req
262. allowing a boy Dick's age to
listen to such sordid goings-on.
Copy !req
263. Now, you march yourself straight
over to that piano, young man.
Copy !req
264. Golly G minor,
Bruce, do I have to?
Copy !req
265. Who am I to oppose
your Aunt Harriet?
Copy !req
266. I doubt whether even Batman
would wanna take that job on.
Copy !req
267. Ahem. I'll get you some
milk and cookies, Master Dick.
Copy !req
268. Thanks a lot, Alfred. I
can always count on you.
Copy !req
