Up in the air.

And now, the moment you've
all been waiting for.

Tonight's winner of
Gotham's Finest Stars is...



What happened?

Wait. Who won?

Moe, switch it back.

Oh, this is on every channel.

I can't even turn it off!

Don't touch that dial, Gotham,

because I've taken
control of your screens.

All of them.

The Penguin.

Forget Gotham's Finest Stars.

Those tasteless fools wouldn't
even let me on the show.

But no one is blocking
my spotlight tonight.

Thanks to the signal stealer
on my ducky dirigible,

everyone in Gotham gets to watch



the incredible talent
of The Penguin.

And that's all they get to
watch. On every channel.

Forever!

That's low, even for Penguin!

Batman, police headquarters
is trying to reach you,

but the Penguin's broadcast
is blocking their signal.

Then we better get that
pompous puffin off the air.

Is the Batwing charged up?

All set, boss.

Go burst that blimp.

I shall begin tonight with
a rousing little number

from Cobblepot, the Musical!

♪ No one else was in the
blimp Where it happened ♪

Ugh! Talk about
an inflated ego.

Batcomputer, can you show
me Batwing's wing cam

so I can see what's happening?

Good idea, Bam.

As team leader, you can still
help by giving her some advice.

Switching to Auto Control
and engaging Bat-Glider.

Batman's away.

He's heading down
to Penguin's blimp.

Wing, you should fly down with
him, in case he needs backup.

- But the clouds...
- He might need you.

Roger that, team leader.

Wait. I lost sight of Batman.

Where'd he... Oh, no!

Oh, great!

Batman!

♪ Look where I am I'm in the
blimp Where it happened ♪

- Well, well, well...
- Yeah.

It appears we have a
very special guest star.

And that, my friends, is the
magic of live television!

My engine's toast!

Gotta make an emergency landing!

Oh, no! She hates
emergency landings.

I hate emergency landings.

Ow.

Is Wing gonna be okay?

Of course, I am.

She was damaged in the crash.

Moe just needs a little
time to repair her.

Is there anything I can do?

I'll get fresh oil.

I'll donate my batteries.

You let me worry about Wing.

Right now Batman's
stuck up there

with that juggling jailbird,

and the team needs
you to save him.

Me?

No, I... I can't.

Sure you can.

Those flying upgrades I installed
on you work perfectly now.

Just say the word and
we'll put 'em right on!

You're the leader, Bam.

We're counting on
you to take charge.

Yeah, just tell us what to do.

You don't understand.

It was my bad leadership that got
Batman captured and made Wing crash.

I can't let that happen again.

What are you saying, Bam?

That I'm no team leader.

Better off with me just
sitting this one out.

But, Bam...

- We can't.
- We need you.

Sorry.

Next up,

the story of my life, performed
in interpretive dance.

Hit it!

Ah!

Holy hot hair!

We have to get up
there and help Batman.

- How?
- I don't know.

And it looks like we
can't ask Bam what to do.

I've got it.

Oh, shoot, I lost it.

Oh, oh! I got it
again. Follow me.

See, with these wings, I
can fly up and save Batman.

I think you should have
had Moe install those.

He's busy helping Batwing.

Go for it, Buff.

It worked! I'm flying!

Look at me. I'm a bird!

Uh... Buff.

I don't think that's high enough
to reach the Penguin's blimp.

Oh!

Hmm. Maybe we should
try something else.

Wait. I know.

This is gonna be a sure thing.

Yeah, I'm sure this
is going to fail.

Three, two, one, fire!

Whoo-hoo!

I'm flying. I'm flying.

I'm swimming.

It looks... It looks, uh...

I know it's not great, but it's
the only other idea I've got.

What do you think, Bam?

I don't know. Don't ask me.

Never mind.

Here goes nothing.

Ugh!

Let's face it.

Without Bam, we're just not
sure how to rescue Batman.

I can do this all night, Gotham.

And I intend to.

- Hey.
- Hey!

You're dragging down
my audience, Bat-bore.

Time to write you
out of the show.

Really? Walking the plank?

So cliche.

Tailpipes!

He's making Batman
walk the plank.

We've got to get up there.

Check it out.

Look who's ready to fly again.

Wing, you're back.

Are you okay?

Never better.

But I'm not sure
how to save Batman.

I'm going to need some help.

A plan.

I know I should do something,
but what if I mess up again?

Making mistakes is
part of being a leader.

But you shouldn't forget all the
good things you've done as well.

Yeah, Batman would have never
caught Toyman without you.

And that plan you came up
with to catch the Ducky boat

was the best.

I guess I haven't been
that bad of a leader.

So what do you say?

I say...

let's strap on those wings.

- Yes.
- All right!

You go!

Well, Batman, you've
had a good run,

but I work better as a solo act.

Time to take the plunge, Batman.

And to go along with that...

fireworks!

That's it. Now let's give
our audience and Batman

a big finale.

Come on, Wing. Come on, Bam.

Oh!

We need a plan. One that doesn't
involve flying through fireworks

I think I might have a plan,

but it's gonna take
some expert flying.

- So it'll be up to you, Wing.
- You got it!

Okay. It starts with you
distracting the Penguin.

First, you'll peel away
and start skywriting...

Ready?

Aim!

Look, it's me.

Glorious me!

What a perfect
ending to my show.

Hey, hey, which one
of you guys did that?

Was it Steve?

Brian? It was you.

You're on, Bam!

What?

Disengage Auto Control.
Going to manual.

Get him!

- Go Batman!
- Yay, Bam!

Now that's entertainment!

Ah! Ha-ha-ha.

You couldn't hit the
broad side of a blimp!

Oh!

Then again, maybe you can.

Ah, oh, oh, oh!

- One side! Coming through!
Move it! Hey! Move it!

Fear not, loyal viewers,

you haven't seen the last of...

Whoa, whoa. Whoa!

Whoa! Whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa...

I'm saved!

Ah, maybe not.

Your show's been canceled.

Oh, the humanity!

And that was Batman,
earlier tonight,

taking Penguin off
the air for good,

but his evil parachuting
penguins remain at large.

Charge up the Batwing.

We've got some clean-up to do.

Any more advice, team leader?

I might have some ideas for you.

Just relax. I got this.

- What do you think, huh?
- Not too shabby.

Watch this. Up! Up...

And... whoa! Yikes!

Ow!

I'm okay.
