This is Miller. Sector one clear.
How are those new men we sent you?
Feels like we're steppin' on each other.
No one's causing trouble here tonight.
Miller out.
Lock the place down! No one gets in or out!
Get that tanker outside before it blows!
Come in, Bruce.
What a pleasant surprise. How've you been holding up?
With a cane.
Very clever.
I must say, it's so nice to see you
taking an interest after all these years.
We're lucky to have you as a resource.
Mmm-hmm.
You should come by more often.
I'll set you up with the finest office in the building.
Just not this one.
Uh, I prefer you not touch that.
In case you're worried,
I didn't come here to set up shop again.
Why, Bruce! You've misread me.
I don't worry.
I just came to say this.
Keep your hands off Foxteca.
Pardon me?
I may not have the leverage on paper anymore
but I still have friends.
The Foxes were a valued part of this company for years.
I'd hate to find out Wayne-Powers was involved in these attacks.
Bruce, let me put your concerns to rest.
I'd never do such a thing.
Why, Lucius Jr. was still vice-president when I took over.
I know. You fired him.
Yes, well.
Had to make room for the new guard, didn't we?
- The McGinnis boy. - I work for Mr. Wayne now.
Well, yes, I suppose with your father gone
that would make you the breadwinner.
Goodbye.
- So, did you beat it out of him? - Not exactly.
But I do have some things to check out.
Okay if I get some time on my own tonight?
Don't count on it.
- No more interruptions. - Yes, sir.
That does not make me happy.
Don't worry about Wayne.
That performance was just to remind me he's still breathing.
And barely, I might add.
- He knows too much. - He's just fishing.
I'll send up an extra basket of oranges this Christmas
and he'll be happy.
Moving on.
Here's what I'd like you to do tonight, my dear.
Is it wrong for me to root for the other team?
Not under the circumstances.
I'm glad you came out.
I know it's still gotta be tough.
Yeah?
But...
On my way.
Mr. Wayne?
Sure got you on a short leash, doesn't he?
He needs me. Sorry.
It isn't normal.
You have no idea.
- Wayne, you there? - Go ahead.
Is there any time of day, I get to have a social life?
Not in this business.
You get a real kick out of this, don't you?
Maybe it should be you up here instead of me?
- I'm doing my part. - Which is what again?
I did some digging after I saw a report on Powers' desk.
It seems that he and Foxteca are up for the same job.
The government wants a new lunar station
and only one of them gets to build it.
So Powers is crippling the competition with sabotage.
And until we can stop him,
you're Foxteca's guardian angel.
Now, tell me what you see.
Looks like someone's celebrating July 4th.
Inside their office. I'm goin' in.
McGinnis, get out of there!
In a second. I'm lookin' around.
I said get out! Now!
Why? What's the—
What the heck was that?
What did you send me into? It was like some kinda blob!
- You should've warned me! - I tried.
You have to learn to think on your feet.
Look. You may be used to dealing with freaks and monsters
but I'm a little new at this.
I don't even know what half this stuff is.
Way before your time. Here.
Her name's Inque.
She's a corporate saboteur.
INTERPOL's been after her for years.
It looks like Powers is her new employer.
What is she?
The result of a mutagenic experiment.
- The details aren't known. - So, how do you stop her?
That's where thinking on your feet comes in.
This is unbearably cool.
Remember. Easy gesture.
Let the suit do the work.
Whoo-hoo!
- Mind not doing that. - Sorry.
You scratch it, no allowance.
I just picked up a radio call. Fox's shipping unit. Pier 18.
I'm on it.
Not exactly a fast learner, are you?
You don't like the water, do you?
Unfortunately, last night's damage was minimal.
They're still meeting their schedule.
Splendid.
We need to talk.
This better be good. What happened?
Someone's been interfering. This is the second time.
- Who? - I don't know.
He wore a costume. Black and red.
- Batman. - The Batman?
What difference does it make!
What's happening to you?
I have a condition. I trust you'll be discrete.
I'm putting you on a new assignment.
Find this Batman and kill him.
He has an accomplice.
I heard him speak with someone over a radio link.
Then do them both! I'll pay you whatever you want.
No wonder I like working for you.
Now, I suggest you leave.
It's not healthy to be around me when I'm shedding.
Bad news. We're too late.
- He's here. - Excellent.
I'll see you when you're done.
At which time, I should be back to my old self.
There's nothing you can do. Come home.
The car's feelin' kinda sluggish tonight.
Park and I'll run a diagnostic.
It's too heavy.
Look out!
Open wide.
- What kept you? - Sudden case of shyness.
This isn't good.
She's heading upstairs!
Pays to be prepared.
Someone's got a secret.
She's getting through.
Man, you are prepared.
She won't get through that way, either.
There's a layer of solid steel.
I think she has something else in mind.
Look out!
That's it.
You're showing me everything.
Gordon.
I figured I'd hear from you.
Word is you've wrangled a new errand boy.
I never wrangled anyone. Every one of you came to me.
Maybe once, you should talk someone out of it.
Would it have worked with you?
I don't suppose you wanna meet him?
You know I can't.
Because he's leaving you a get-acquainted gift right now.
I'd keep it on ice.
