Batman Unlimited: Mechs vs. Mutants Page #2

Emergency, sir.

A break-in at arkham asylum.

You mean a breakout.

No, sir. In.

This technology

could one day be used

to explore the core

of the earth,

or even other planets.

The potential

is nearly endless.

Thank you for your time.

Well, Mr. Wayne. I have to say

I'm very impressed.

You could...

Mr. Wayne?

Seal off the perimeter.

Full lockdown protocols.

Get to your stations, people.

--That's coming from...

Hmm...

Something tells me

you don't have a license

to drive this thing.

No one can issue me a license,

for there is no government

that holds authority

over Dr. Victor fries.

Freeze!

Exactly.

In the name of the Gotham

police arkham division,

I demand you give

yourselves up.

You're the best

arkham has to offer?

It's embarrassing

I've ever been kept in here.

Stay focused, cobblepot.

You promised me what we need

is somewhere in here.

I've already spent more time

among other humans

than I am comfortable with.

Oh,

you won't be disappointed.

Release me.

I shouldn't be in here.

That's what they all say.

What are you guys doing

trapped in that hallway?

Don't you want to be

free in here like me?

Okay, freak show.

I don't deserve

to be free of here.

I was going to say

the same thing.

Where are the items we need?

Patience.

I waited for months

in your mad scientist igloo.

You can wait

a few moments more.

First on the list.

What do you two want?

Time to come with us, bane.

Why do you want me out?

Explanations in good time.

Or we can always

close you back in.

Good decision.

Chemo!

We have a deal

you might be interested in.

Hmm...

Always impressive,

killer croc.

This cell is vacant, you fool.

Au contraire.

Hmm.

Clayface, meet your new boss,

Mr. freeze.

No, you wouldn't

forget little old me

in your escape plans,

would you?

Because that

wouldn't be funny,

if I do say so myself.

- Sorry, clown.

I already have to deal

with one lunatic on this job.

Ozzy, ozzy, ozzy.

You need me. I am the style.

I will put the life in your

team's party.

I'd get used to

your new accommodations

if I were you.

I have an absolutely

awful memory, oswald.

But this I won't forget,

do you hear me?

Why are we waiting?

I'm scanning.

Always use caution, Robin.

Leaping into arkham unprepared

is like going into

a lion's den.

I've always

loved the lion's den.

It's my favorite part

of the zoo.

I'm thinking

he's not great at caution.

What did I say?

Checking off everything

on our shopping list was easy.

Wait. You don't

expect me to work with

this snake, do you?

He sold me out

to the Gotham police.

You have a score to settle?

Then let's settle it.

Gentlemen,

now is not the time.

We should be on our way

before Batman...

This game ends now.

Game?

Trust me,

we are not playing.

Really? Because

i could go for a round of

pin-the-arrow-on-the-bad-guy.

Who wants to go first?

Good work, Robin.

We'll take it from here.

Gordon?

You made it to arkham quickly.

Kid, duck.

You crazy?

- Do it now.

Yeah.

This guy wasn't

in my holobook.

You're learning how to be

a superhero from a book?

We're wasting time.

Great, you've

trapped us in here.

You are a shortsighted

little man.

- Bane.

They escaped.

There are sewer tunnels

underneath here.

They had a vehicle waiting.

They're gone.

This wouldn't have happened

if I could tell the difference

between the real Gordon

and clayface.

You're still learning, kid.

I guess.

What's the big mystery?

Penguin and freeze

needed some muscle,

freed some inmates,

simple as that.

On the surface

it looks simple.

You think

there's a pattern here?

The breakout wasn't random.

They skipped others

to select bane, chemo,

croc and clayface.

Why them?

It's not a solid team.

Bane and croc

have a known rivalry.

We don't need to know

what they want.

We just need to stop them.

The key to stopping them

is outsmarting them.

Unless you have

explosive arrows,

then that's the key

to stopping them.

Oh,

and look what I've got.

A pattern.

If this is a trick...

You will no doubt

inflict bodily injury upon me.

Yes. Yes.

Your threats are de rigueur.

Do not worry.

My science is no hoax.

What's that little guy's name?

- Appetizer?

Buzz here is my hench-bird.

Don't mind him, buzz.

He's a mere sewer-born cretin.

Level with me, penguin.

What are the odds

this is going to work?

Victor fries is a loony

with a monster size ego.

He's practically a hermit

and on top of it all,

he's a terrible roommate.

But he's also one other thing.

What's that?

A genius.

Time for the moment of truth.

Criminal history.

No connection.

Known mos. No connection.

Personality profile.

--No connection.

Maybe they're just recruiting

for an all-villain

flag football league.

What if penguin and freeze

didn't pick these guys

for who they are,

but instead,

for what they're made of?

Made of? What does it matter?

Never mind. Probably nothing.

Tell me.

Well, three of them have

unusual chemical components.

Bane's venom, the stuff

that makes him strong,

clayface's mud, which can

expand into anything,

and chemo, well,

he's basically made

of super toxic sludge.

What about croc?

He's not like the others.

No, but the strength

of his constitution

would make him

an ideal test subject.

Mr. freeze

is a scientist, right?

What if he's experimenting?

No offense, kid,

but don't you think

that's a bit of a stretch.

No.

Okay. Dumb idea.

I mean, no,

it's not a stretch.

It's not?

I was focusing

on the villains' skills.

It never occurred

to me to analyze their

physical composition.

Good work, Robin.

To force those kind of

chemicals to interact

with one another,

there'll be tell-tale signs

in chroma-spectral

scans of the area.

Got a hit.

Robin, with me.

-Where to?

-Gotham harbor.

I'll follow in a second.

In the meantime,

uh, this cup is getting low.

Indeed, sir.

It is done.

How will you know

if it worked?

There's only

one way to find out.

Lay it on me.

Yes.

I feel it. The power.

--Huh?

Whoa!

It's time to have

a little fun.

Hmm.

- Hey.

- It's amazing.

Hey, do superheroes

get snow days?

That's a no, I guess.

Sudden weather shifts.

Icy conditions.

Part of Mr. freeze's plans,

i assume.

No doubt.

You know, if you let me drive,

you could focus

on developing the perfect

plan for fighting freeze.

Not the time, Robin.

Uh, you're seeing this,

right?

Like you said,

chemo's asset mutates.

Clayface's mud stretches.

Bane's venom enlarges.

But I didn't know

that meant giant,

crazy monster.

What do we do?

Oh. Here it comes.

Now, let's cause some chaos.

What's this?

An old friend.

I should spend some time

with him,

now that I've

come up in the world.

-You wearing your seat belt?

-Always.

Good.

Oh, yeah? Bring it.

Hey, guys, a minute ago

i was having coffee in Paris

when I saw the news.

Sorry it took me

so long to get here.

What the...

There goes the flash.

What?

Um, hi, Mr. croc.
