The Batman (2004–2008): Season 5, Episode 7 - Ring Toss - full transcript
Nearing defeat by his arch-foe Sinestro, Green Lantern sends his power ring to fellow Justice Leaguer Batman. Unfortunately the ring is instead intercepted by the nefarious Penguin.
Hey, Grayson.
How about a little game of B-ball?
Yeah, sure.
What's that?
My ride.
What do you do,
work in a funeral home?
I'll never fit in if the other
kids see me riding in a limousine.
It isn't normal.
You flit around the city every night
in tights and a cape. Is that normal?
I could've gotten home on my own.
Not today, I'm afraid.
Remember, you and Master Bruce must
attend that charity party this evening.
I was hoping he'd be too busy.
Actually, he's in the Batcave
at this very moment...
...with one of those gents
from the Justice Club.
- You mean league? Which one?
- The green one.
- Martian Manhunter?
- No.
- Green Arrow?
- No, the other chap.
Green Lantern? Oh, man, floor it.
Have you found anything yet?
No, my system is scanning
the visual galaxy...
...and there's no sign of any
unusual energy signatures there.
I wish we could be sure.
I am sure.
- The equipment is state of the art.
- Maybe on Earth.
But we're not dealing someone from Earth.
If only the Watchtower's sensors
weren't off-line for repairs.
Exactly who is this Sinestro?
He was a member of the
Green Lantern Corps...
...until he got power hungry
and tried to wipe us out.
- We locked him away, but--
- Sounds like it didn't take.
No.
Attention, all Green Lanterns.
Sinestro of Korugar has escaped
his stasis cell.
If you have any contact with him, notify--
Why do you think he's coming here?
Sinestro and I have a history.
Green Lantern, you're really here.
- I am such a fan.
- Dick.
- I know, people ask you this all the time.
- Dick.
But, like, if you and Superman
were in a fight, which one would--?
Dick, go get dressed.
Aw.
You know, I have to go too.
I have to fly a plane home to Coast City.
Why are you flying a plane?
In my day job, I'm a test pilot.
Even your secret identity is cool.
Now.
Nice meeting you.
Nice kid.
- I'll keep an eye out for your pal.
- Thanks.
But, Bruce, if you see
Sinestro coming, let me know.
Don't try to be a hero.
You'll be the first one I call.
Hmm.
Better dig out the lantern and
give this a charge be-- Oof!
Surprise.
Hello, old friend.
Unh! I'm not your friend.
No, but you were my best student.
I even offered you a chance to help
me bring order to the universe.
- But you defied me.
- Unh!
Rallied the other Green Lanterns,
ruined everything.
Even so, you couldn't bring
yourself to finish me off.
You failed...
...just as this planet's crude
technology failed to detect my arrival.
Now give me your ring.
Why, tired of the one you've got?
Not at all.
However, with two rings
and twice the power...
...I will destroy the
Green Lantern Corps.
And then, well, you know the rest.
Yeah, I've heard it all before.
Don't.
Haven't you forgotten something?
Find Batman.
Safe with him.
Come out, coward.
My ring will find your ring.
You cannot hide.
- Having fun?
- Tons.
And I just figured out why
the Joker is such a nut job.
Because this much smiling drives you crazy.
That's it, girls, just up ahead.
Careful, careful.
I tell you,
the airlines these days.
Hmm. Bruce Wayne and his
flock of fancy friends.
All that money just
waiting to be taken.
What?
Huh?
Ah!
Stop.
Huh?
Well...
...what have we here?
A perfect fit.
Okay, that's it. Put me down.
Hands up, Penguin.
Don't shoot.
Huh?
Ah.
Oh!
Hmm. I could get used to this.
Oh, wouldn't you know it.
Another party where
I wasn't invited.
Stop right there, Penguin.
What are you--? Mmph!
And now, as we say in the thievery biz,
I'm gonna clean you out.
I said, clean you out.
Huh?
Guess I'd better be "glowing."
How did Penguin get
Green Lantern's ring?
Still bored?
Don't worry, folks.
It's gonna be okay.
Ooh!
Humph!
All right, windbag, do your stuff.
Oh, what an artful thief.
What?
I'm tired of playing
with your toys, boys.
How about we try mine?
A boot?
Wish this came with instructions.
Ah, this will do.
So how are we supposed to
get that ring away from him?
I found another one.
You'll be okay, ma'am.
What in blazes is Batman doing?
All units near
Moldoff and Adams...
...respond to a 10-10 in progress.
Suspect, identified as the Penguin,
is using a super-powered weapon.
All done?
Good. Now it's my turn.
You're supposed to have my ring.
- I never got it.
- Guys.
- Oof!
- Oof!
You know, mister, you could get
a ticket, driving like that.
And I'm here to give it to you.
What is the deal with this thing?
The deal is you lack the
willpower and the intellect...
...to operate it properly.
Now give me the ring or
suffer the consequences.
Can I take a sec to think it over?
No.
We gotta get Batman.
There he is.
That's one tough guy you work for.
Tell me about it.
Huh?
Aah!
You put on quite a show, Oswald.
Shh! Can you keep it down?
There's an alien maniac
out there looking for me.
Which is why I suggest
you give me the ring...
...while you still
have your fingers.
Ahh, never!
Show yourself, parasite.
Take it, take it, take it, take it.
There.
Batman, still in one piece?
Yeah, Penguin's out cold.
Get the ring to me.
Here goes.
- No.
- It's okay, he can handle himself.
That's not the point.
I haven't charged the ring.
It's gonna run out of power.
Well, that isn't
what I had in mind.
Not as easy as it looks, is it?
Nothing ever is.
Now we do this my way. Huh?
Ah. Here you see the major
flaw in a Green Lantern ring.
They stop working at the most awkward times.
- Get out of there.
- Too late.
I want the power ring now.
In all the excitement,
I seem to have lost track of it.
Apparently, your life means as
little to you as it does to me.
Now, where is it?
Right here.
Let's settle this.
With pleasure.
Need a hand?
I have had enough of your antics,
you insignificant-- Huh?
- I must admit, I underestimated you.
- Really?
As a matter of fact,
I think we're a lot alike.
You mean stubborn?
I was going to say we
have enormous willpower...
...but stubborn works too.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'd better
take Sinestro back to his stasis cell.
Does he need a roommate?
I think we'll pass.
Nice working with you.
Likewise.
So how was it, using that ring?
Not my style.
How about a little game of B-ball?
Yeah, sure.
