Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman

Watch your speed, Diaz.

We don't need the cops pulling you over.

- How far's the turnoff?

- Couple of miles.

Puts you right on the interstate

out of Gotham.

What was that?

It's Batman, ain't it?

Jeez Louise, it's a woman!

What are you sitting there for?

Get out!

Whoa, who's having the light show?

Haven't seen her around the cave.

Could she have been an old opponent

in a new disguise? Perhaps Catwoman.

No, even Selina Kyle has

more regard for human life.

This is someone entirely new, Alfred.

The last thing Gotham needs

is a vigilante running amuck.

As they say on the streets,

"I ain't touching that one."

The point is, her costume links her

to me. Why?

What does she have planned?

How far will she go?

Do be careful. Remember, there are

many species in which the female...

...is deadlier than the male.

He's been waiting.

It still lists to the right.

See what you can do.

Penguin.

Mr. Duquesne. I hear we had

an unpropitious setback.

If you mean we got hit, yeah.

And how exactly could that

have happened?

I don't know yet.

No one but us even knew the shipment

was going out last night.

Well, someone did.

- A Batwoman?

- That's what my man said, Thorne.

Batman, Batgirl, Batwoman!

What is it about this city? The water?

Fortunately, it was only one truckload.

I've doubled the manpower

at our warehouse sites.

No way she can get to the rest.

Forgive me if I'm not so sanguine.

Our overseas consortium has paid us

a half-billion dollars for these arms.

If we don't deliver, they'll want their

money back. Since we've spent it...

...that would present a problem,

wouldn't it?

I want the rest of it to be out

within the week...

...which means take care

of this bat-clone now.

You're supposed to be our muscle,

Mr. Duquesne. Start flexing.

Well, someone talked!

Someone dropped a dime!

- We find out who, we'll find her.

- Daddy!

Hold on.

- Where you been?

- Don't worry, Daddy.

I brought your lapdogs with me.

For once, they came in handy.

Shoo.

So Raoul, my favorite hairdresser,

had a spiritual rebirth last week...

...and left for an ashram in Bukittinggi.

- How was your day?

- You should tell me when you go out.

Who's on the phone?

Business. Nothing for you

to worry about.

I guess I should be going then.

We're getting dangerously close

to a conversation.

Do whatever it takes. I want you

to find her. Find her and finish her!

Today on Bat-Watch, everyone wonders

who the mysterious Batwoman could be.

Batman's new partner? Batgirl grown up?

We asked Police Commissioner Gordon.

All I can say is,

she's not affiliated with Batman.

Otherwise, I have no comment.

Det. Bullock! Harvey!

I think we got enough bat-freaks

in Gotham already.

I mean, what's next? Bat-hound?

Come on, Bullock, throw us

a bone here, will you?

I've been thinking about getting a dog.

He could help us sniff out clues.

- Bruce Wayne here.

- Bruce, it's Barbara.

Hey, Barb.

- She misses you.

- How's college?

Not bad, though the nightlife here

can't compare with kicking butt as Batgirl.

But spring break'll be

coming up soon...

...and I'll be back in Gotham

for two whole weeks.

Won't that be nice?

Yes, we'll all be happy to see you.

Don't drag me into this.

Anyway, that's not the reason I called.

I just saw the news and was wondering

if you got a new partner.

Someone a little older?

I have no idea who she is.

Because if you had,

I'd be really upset...

...because I thought you and I were,

you know...

Barb, we're going through

the East Tunnel now.

Afraid signal's breaking up.

Talk later.

Squeaked through again, didn't you?

I never fail to marvel

at your narrow escapes, sir.

One female bat at a time.

In discussing this new alloy,

I brought some charts...

...to demonstrate the care and precision

we bring to our work at Wayne Tech.

So as you can see, the alloy's tensile

malleability is remarkably high...

...given its density

and homeotropic structure.

Meaning that the flexible

molecular stacking will...

...provide considerable morphological

adaptability...

...through the electromagnetic

manipulation of the quantum states!

See this chunk of metal?

I can program it to change shape.

- Oh, fantastic.

- That's fantastic.

I thought she said it was metal.

- Look at that.

- It's beautiful.

Just with one touch?

So exciting.

Actually, the technology's pretty simple.

It's just imprinting morph lines

with a pressure point.

- I'm not sure what it's good for.

- I happen to have a silent partner...

...who I'm sure will find some use for it.

- That's great.

It's so cool to be in an R&D company

that takes young women seriously...

...especially blonds.

At Wayne Tech, it's what's under

the hair that counts, Dr. Ballantine.

It's Rocky. Actually, Roxanne...

...but people have always called me

Rocky for some reason.

Look! It's the bat signal!

- Where?

- Right there!

What's going on over there?

Wow! I've never seen it before!

Isn't it exciting?

Every time. Check.

He'll get here. And remember,

when he does, I'll do the talking.

What is it, commissioner?

I had Bullock collect the remains

of the contraband destroyed.

I thought you might like to take a look.

Stuff's out of "Star Trek". I thought

maybe someone broke into a toy store.

These aren't toys, Bullock.

This is a plasma rifle.

It could take out a tank at 200 yards.

More like 500.

I measured the clip size.

Sonia Alcana, Bullock's new partner.

There are also EK4 lasers and a barrel

from a surface-to-air missile launcher.

- Who's behind this?

- The truck driver ain't talking...

...but I got some leads. Can't say

anything definite right now.

We have nothing.

- Where'd you get this?

- From the guy's truck...

...when I had it impounded.

I'll get back to you.

What's got his tights in a twist?

Penguin owns this place?

Along with Duquesne and Thorne.

- What do they make here?

- Trinkets, figurines...

...weapons of mass destruction.

I don't see any of his goons around.

There she is!

See her?

Over there!

So you like to play rough, huh, sweetie?

Welcome to superhero team-up!

Get them!

Come on!

- You shouldn't be here.

- Likewise.

No. I mean, I've set a charge.

Where?

Below us.

A munitions room.

Let's get out of here!

Where'd she go?

Up there!

Let's move!

They were making arms for Kasnia...

...something the State Department would

frown upon. This was their weapons plant.

- It'd be a little hard to prove that now.

- Doesn't matter. They were finished here.

But I've just begun.

Who are you? Why are you doing this?

You're the great detective. Figure it out.

Gotta jet.

Who? The Batwoman?

What do you mean it's gone?

The whole building?

You got a lot of nerve, freak!

You and your woman have caused me

enough grief for one night.

It's my home, my family! Get out!

I heard a commotion last night.

Who was here?

Nobody.

Did nobody do that too?

Nothing for you to worry about.

As if I ever.

- Where you going?
