The Batman (2004–2008): Season 5, Episode 9 - Attack of the Terrible Trio - full transcript

Trouble comes in threes when Batman and Batgirl must deal with a trio of delinquent college students who are using the Man-Bat formula to become monstrous beasts.

Come on in.

What are you waiting for?
Come on in.

Shelley, get out of there, hurry.

This is so Spielberg.

Michael, is that you? Cool costume.

You get it from the
Drama Department?

I'm not laughing anymore, Michael.
Now take that thing off.

Take it off.

Michael?

Let's get out of here.

Huh?



Come on. Hit it!

What is that?

Let's get out of here.

I think you know why we're here,
Professor Langstrom.

I was expecting you.

But I had nothing to do with this, I swear.

I know it looks bad, but after
those last Man-Bat experiments...

...I realized I could never
go down that road again.

And I haven't.

Someone has. Any ideas?

There was a breach in my computer's
security program a few weeks ago.

- So it could be anyone.
- I'm afraid so.

But if there's anything I can do to help,
anything at all....

Let's hope it's not
too late for that.



I'll do some snooping
around here in the morning.

But what about your school?

This is my school,
ever since September.

Tell me you knew that.

He can give you the atomic
weight of iridium...

...and the private phone
number of the president...

...but does he remember I
graduated high school? No.

And did you hear those big bad frat
boys when they were running off?

Squealing just like their
little girlfriends.

You know, I actually tried to get
into one of those sororities.

- You?
- It was a long time ago, David, okay?

And did you see that girl's face when
she figured out it wasn't a costume?

- I thought she was gonna--
- Justin, shh!

Come on, Amber. Who pays attention to us?

At least while we look like this.

Speaking of that, have you cooked
up any more of those patches?

It's easy,
once you have the recipe.

Not again.

- What?
- The doof they gave me for a roommate.

What do you want?

What do you think I want,
Jake? This is my room too, you know.

Uh-uh. This party's
by invitation only.

And it's very exclusive.

What a newbie.

You okay?

You should tell the dorm advisor about this.

Mind your own business.

Humph!

Come on, Jake. They're closing.

Yeah, yeah.

Help!

I'm at school. Better come quick.

Assuming you can remember
which school it is.

No, please.

Don't worry, I'm only going to
make you into more of party animal.

- What are you doing?
- Oh, you'll see.

Hold it.

He's gone now. It's okay.

Or not.

I did it.

Then we better get
out of here, quick.

What's the rush?

Come on.

- Hey, we got a problem.
- No kidding.

Come on, I've seen
this movie before.

- Okay, what's the plan?
- Move.

Good plan.

Let's get out of here.

This is where we call in
the Justice League, right?

For a monkey? They'd throw
me out in two seconds.

So how'd you do on the test--? Aah!

- Langstrom.
- Aah!

There was another creature
attack tonight. An ape.

This is a blood sample
I took from him.

If you're serious about wanting to help,
see if you can come up with an antidote.

I'll get to work on it.

There are probably some
mutagens in here that--

Before they took him away, police
questioned the so-called gorilla-boy...

...but got few answers.

Frankly, we don't know what's
been causing this.

As of this point, we're ready to
call in Animal Control.

Ha. Looks like you got this
room all to yourself now.

What a coincidence.

Hey, what are you laughing at?

Jake's in the hospital now. It's not funny.

Boohoo.

You saw what a jerk he was.

Doesn't mean he deserved that.

People tend to get exactly
what they deserve, sunshine.

Maybe you will too.

I think I know who the
next monkey's gonna be.

Shh! Quiet, Amber.

We go now to Gotham
University president...

...Dr. Steven Phillips.

After last night's incident...

...I'm calling for all Gotham
University students...

...to have DNA tests that will determine
who's been abusing mutagenic chemicals.

Tests will begin tomorrow.

He can't do that. Isn't that,
like, invasion of primacy?

"Privacy," and it's
not legal, no way.

But what if everyone else
takes the test and we don't?

They'd know it was us.

Hmm....

David?

What if everyone had the
mutagen in their systems?

What are you talking about?

Well, I've always said this place was a zoo.

What if it really turned into one?

Where you been?

Langstrom's lab. He put together
an antidote to the mutagen.

Good, because we're
gonna need it soon.

- You're sure?
- Give me a second.

I'm sure.

Unless the university's stuffing their
dorm pillows with vulture feathers...

...I've found our bird-girl
and her two friends.

Where's everybody going?

Big football game tonight.

Dorm's so empty, we could
walk through the front door.

But where's the fun in that?

- Think they're at the game?
- They're not the school-spirit types.

What type are they?

The type no one notices until
it's too late: misfits.

Everyone fits in somewhere.

The hard part is finding
the right place.

Blueprints? For what?

What are you saving it for?
Put it all in.

I want everybody
to get their share.

What was that?

Must be the kickoff. Our timing's
perfect. Get the detonator.

- What?
- We got visitors.

Batman and Batgirl.
I don't believe it.

Better get up here.

Nice poochie.

Lab animals.

Time for the antidote.

She's got the antidote.

You know, you were a real
inspiration to me, Batman.

I was an inspiration to you?

When I was a kid,
I saw you way up on a skyscraper.

You had everything I ever wanted.

Power, freedom,
no one to answer to.

Then there was the whole animal thing too.

You might have seen me,
but you sure didn't understand.

Well, I understand now.
You're a sellout.

A flunky for the cops, that's all.

And you've turned yourself
into a cheap circus act.

Not helping.

You wanna talk about a circus?

Pretty soon, I'm gonna turn the stadium
into the world's biggest freak show...

...Thanks to this.

But you're not gonna
live to see it.

And now,
for your halftime pleasure...

...the Gotham University
marching band.

Go, Gotham.

Go, Gotham?

Shower's over. Oh!

Run. Hurry. Get out of here.

Once this goes off, a cloud of
mutagen will cover half the campus.

Get back.

All set.

What?

No.

Uh-oh.

- You okay?
- Yeah.

What's gonna happen to
him and the other two?

Hard to say, but I have a feeling
that wherever they end up...

...they're still gonna have
trouble fitting in.
