<i>Common brown bats.</i>

179
00:13:54,542 --> 00:13:55,877
They shouldn't pose a problem.

180
00:13:56,085 --> 00:13:57,805
As the weather gets
colder, they'll move on.

181
00:13:58,129 --> 00:13:59,505
<i>What about the
sound on the tape?</i>

182
00:13:59,839 --> 00:14:01,132
It's actually two sounds.

183
00:14:01,299 --> 00:14:02,717
Starlings and brown bats.

184
00:14:03,176 --> 00:14:05,094
Probably fighting over
a nest in your chimney.

185
00:14:05,553 --> 00:14:06,637
Appreciate the help, Doc.

186
00:14:06,929 --> 00:14:09,390
I'll return the favor next
time you're raising funds.

187
00:14:09,557 --> 00:14:10,683
Bye-bye.

188
00:14:11,100 --> 00:14:12,477
This computer checked that fiber

189
00:14:12,810 --> 00:14:14,854
against every animal
species known to man.

190
00:14:15,938 --> 00:14:18,658
I went to them because I thought
they might know something we didn't.

191
00:14:19,442 --> 00:14:21,110
That hair wasn't a brown bat's.

192
00:14:21,944 --> 00:14:24,072
And those melodic sounds?

193
00:14:24,447 --> 00:14:27,325
Computer,
check against combined sounds.

194
00:14:27,658 --> 00:14:29,327
Starlings and brown bats.

195
00:14:32,246 --> 00:14:33,373
<i>Negative.</i>

196
00:14:33,581 --> 00:14:35,375
<i>Sounds not originated
by either species.</i>

197
00:14:37,001 --> 00:14:38,086
I would say, sir,

198
00:14:38,336 --> 00:14:40,880
that we have ourselves
an incongruity.

199
00:14:41,172 --> 00:14:42,465
Incongruity, Alfred?

200
00:14:43,007 --> 00:14:44,133
He's lying-

201
00:14:44,384 --> 00:14:46,135
And I'm gonna find out why.

Who's back there?

208
00:15:57,039 --> 00:15:59,542
You! I'm looking for Dr. March.

209
00:15:59,959 --> 00:16:01,544
He's not here, Batman.

210
00:16:04,213 --> 00:16:05,214
Where is he?

211
00:16:05,381 --> 00:16:07,758
Giving a lecture
on human extinction

212
00:16:07,925 --> 00:16:09,177
and bat evolution.

213
00:16:09,510 --> 00:16:11,262
He's really quite brilliant.

214
00:16:11,846 --> 00:16:13,514
He's misguided and a thief.

215
00:16:13,931 --> 00:16:15,349
He's just a theorist.

216
00:16:15,725 --> 00:16:17,268
He was afraid to
put it to the test.

217
00:16:17,768 --> 00:16:19,020
But I wasn't.

218
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,230
I knew we'd discovered a formula

219
00:16:21,397 --> 00:16:23,107
to create a totally new species.

220
00:16:23,566 --> 00:16:24,942
Neither man nor bat.

221
00:16:25,276 --> 00:16:26,861
And once I started taking it,

222
00:16:27,069 --> 00:16:28,112
I couldn't stop.

223
00:16:28,362 --> 00:16:29,864
I desperately wanted to.

224
00:16:30,156 --> 00:16:32,241
But it took over.

225
00:16:32,950 --> 00:16:35,119
Francine and March
tried to protect me,

226
00:16:35,745 --> 00:16:36,954
but it was too late.

227
00:16:37,205 --> 00:16:40,541
The beast knew what chemicals
were needed to bring itself about.

228
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,502
It was out of my control.

229
00:16:43,002 --> 00:16:45,963
And it only needs
one more component

230
00:16:46,214 --> 00:16:48,090
to complete the process.

231
00:16:48,799 --> 00:16:50,510
It's in me,

232
00:16:50,843 --> 00:16:52,011
Batman.

Oh, not again!

239
00:18:27,565 --> 00:18:29,567
I'm serious.
It's right below us.

240

(GRUNTS) Whoa!

241
00:18:33,571 --> 00:18:35,323
Gotham Command,
we need choppers.

242
00:18:35,656 --> 00:18:37,116
We've sighted the Batman.

243
00:18:55,509 --> 00:18:57,428
- Let's go!
- I can't do it, sir.

244
00:18:57,803 --> 00:18:59,123
What do you mean
you can't do it?

245
00:18:59,388 --> 00:19:02,016
I just got word not to let you
up without the Commissioner.

246
00:19:02,433 --> 00:19:04,602
- Who told you that?
- The Commissioner.

247
00:19:05,186 --> 00:19:06,479
GORDON: Get out, Detective!

248
00:19:07,813 --> 00:19:09,482
The Mayor may not
let me fire you,

249
00:19:09,815 --> 00:19:11,942
but I am not taking the
heat for your fiascoes.

250
00:19:12,360 --> 00:19:14,904
This is my case, Commissioner!
You heard the Mayor!

251
00:19:15,071 --> 00:19:17,156
Then why don't you go
take it up with him?

252
00:19:17,323 --> 00:19:18,574
I've got a job to do.

253
00:19:18,866 --> 00:19:20,910
If you want to tag along, fine!

254
00:19:23,579 --> 00:19:24,914
Take her up, Lieutenant.

255
00:19:26,582 --> 00:19:27,917
Hey, wait for me!

256
00:20:15,464 --> 00:20:17,341
- There he is.
- GORDON: There they are.

257
00:20:18,759 --> 00:20:20,010
What is that thing?

258
00:20:20,302 --> 00:20:21,721
That thing is what we're after.

259
00:20:22,388 --> 00:20:23,639
Holy»-...

260
00:20:58,007 --> 00:20:59,216
Two for dinner, sir?

261
00:20:59,508 --> 00:21:02,386
I got a list of all the items
stolen from the chemical labs.

262
00:21:03,220 --> 00:21:06,015
Who would have thought they'd
be used to create a monster?

263
00:21:07,475 --> 00:21:10,561
Maybe I can undo the fate
Langstrom has brought upon himself.

264
00:21:14,732 --> 00:21:16,734
ALFRED: Does it appear
feasible, sir?

265
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:18,736
I think so.

266
00:21:33,209 --> 00:21:34,335
Is he all right?

267
00:21:37,797 --> 00:21:39,548
- Will he change again?
- No.

268
00:21:40,132 --> 00:21:41,509
The formula's out of his system.

269
00:21:42,092 --> 00:21:43,385
It's over...

270
00:21:43,677 --> 00:21:44,887
