- Holy Time-Warp Batman
- by Nick Broom (Punch)
-
- (Wayne manor, Batman and Robin have just returned from the snooker hall)
-
- Robin: Look, Batman! There's a message on the Fax from the
- Commissioner!
- Batman: What does it say?
- Robin: It says, "Hi, Batman. Batgirl is being held captive at the
- Gotham Rubber Company. Please hurry there. Nice one
- Commissioner."
- Batman: At once to the Batcave.
- (Our heroes go to the Batcave below stately Wayne Manor and prepare for
- theier rescue mission)
- Batman: Ready? To the Batporsche, Dean!
- Robin: Why do you keep calling me Dean? me name's Robin.
- Batman: No one's called Robin nowadays. Dean's much more Eighties.
- Robin: (Sulkily) No one's called Batman.
- Batman: Don't be facetious, Dean. Look in my Filofax for the address
- of the Gotham Rubber Company, and then let's make tracks.
- Robin: Right, well, it's on Stallone Street, just behind the Nuthouse
- Vegetarian Resteraunt.
- Batman: Oh, yes, I know it well. Speaking as a vegetarian, I'd say
- it's the only decent place I've found to eat out. Okay, let's
- go.
- Robin: But wait, you've forgotten the warning to the kids!
- Batman: Oh, quickly then. (Camera closes in on Batman's face) "Boys
- and Girls, I cannot do without using a condom. Don't think I
- can and don't think you can. Have a nice day." Right, that's
- that done. Let's hit the road.
- (Batman and Dean roar out of the Batcave and head for the Gotham
- Rubber Company)
- Batman: How about some Batmusic, Dean?
- Robin: Okay. (Sings) Na na na na ...
- Batman: I mean turn on the Compact Disc player.
- Robin: Sorry. (Turns on the CD) Na na na na, Batman! Na na...
- Batman: That's better. You know ....
- (Cellular phone rings. Dean answers. Heavy breathing on the other end
- of the line)
- Robin: We know it's you, Joker. Why don't you go and play your
- stupid pranks some place else? (Line goes dead) That guy sure
- is... Holy Catlitter! There's Catwoman breaking into that
- jeweller's!
- (The Batporsche screeches to a halt)
- Batman: Hold it right there, Catwoman!
- Catwoman: Ah, Batman. Still haven't got a proper job?
- Batman: Okay, Catwoman, let's have you out of that catsuit.
- Catwoman: But, Batman, you weren't like this in the Sixties. I thought
- you preferred Robin.
- Batman: I do, but people want more sex in 1989, and since
- homosexuality is a TV audience turn-off, that leaves you.
- Robin: But, Batman, we must hurry - Batgirl's in dire straits.
- Batman: Oh, all right, then. Come on.
- (They rush out to the Batporsche)
- Robin: Oh, no, we've been clamped!
- Batman: This must be the work of the Penguin. Look, there he is!
- Robin: That can't be him, he's wearing Levi 501's and a designer
- shirt.
- Batman: Thats him all right. Stop right there Penguin!
- Penguin: Hello, Batman. You recognised me after all these years, and
- in my new gear. Well done.
- Batman: Penguin, the wrapper may have changed but what's inside is
- just as evil as before.
- Penguin: Well, I must say that Raybans and a beret do more for you
- than that ridiculous hood you use to wear.
- Batman: Unclamp our car, Penguin.
- Penguin: No way, Batman. Wait for hours like everybody else.
- Batman: There's no time for that. Com on, Dean, let's run.
- Robin: But Batman, it's still a long way.
- Batman: Don't worry, Dean, I'm wearing my Gucci loafers. Jump on my
- back and I'll carry you.
- (Batman and Dean run off to the Gotham Rubber Company. When they
- arrive, they try the video entry-phone, but when no one answers, they
- break in.)
- Robin: Holy incomprehensible! The floor's marked out into six
- enormous coloured segments!
- Batman: I thought as much. This is the trademark of the Trivial
- Pursuiter!
- Robin: The who?
- Batman: The Trivial Pursuiter, none other than the Riddler of old!
- T.Pursuiter: Correct, Batman. Long time no see. Hey, like the boxer
- shorts, Robin.
- Batman: We want Batgirl, Trivial Pursuiter.
- T.Pursuiter: Not so fast, Batman. First you must answer some
- questions. What do you want: Geography, Science and Nature,
- Entertainment...?
- Batman: Where is she?
- T.Pursuiter: Ah, Geography. What is the largest lake in ...?
- Batman: Cut it out, Trivial Pursuiter. What have you done with
- Batgirl?
- T.Pursuiter: Now you want History! Who was the tallest US president?
- Robin: Abraham Lincoln.
- T.Pursuiter: Good. Now what category?
- Robin: Er, how about Entertainment?
- Batman: Dean, wake up, he's using the questions to mesmerise you. Take
- this Anti-Trivial Pursuit Batpill which I happen to have on
- me!
- (Dean takes the Batpill and immediately recovers)
- Batman: Thats better. Right Dean, let's go and find Batgirl.
- T.Pursuiter: No, you don't! (He blocks their path)
- Robin: Take that, Trivial Pursuiter!
- BONK!
- Batman: Wait, wait, we can't have BONK! any more. It's too rude.
- Robin: But I thought we needed more sex and violence in the show.
- Batman: BONK! is sex and violence. We can't have both, at least not at
- the same time.
- Robin: Okay.
- FUNK!! (Dean hits the Trivial Pursuiter, who falls, beaten)
- Batman: Hey, like it, Dean! Give me five!
- T.Pursuiter: very well, you win, Batman. She's through there.
- (Batman and Dean go through to another room, where they find Batgirl
- staring vacantly into the bubbling waters of a Jacuzzi)
- Robin: She's in a trance.
- Batman: Yes, the Trivial Pursuiter was gradually boring her to death
- with his dull questions. I'll just give her an Anti-Trivial
- Pursuit Batpill.
- (Batgirl swiftly comes round)
- Batgirl: Ah, Batperson., at last. What took you so long?
- Batman: What's the "Batperson" thing, Batgirl?
- Batgirl: Batperson, please Batperson.
- Batman: You mean we're both called Batperson?
- Batgirl: This is the Eighties, Batperson.
- Batman: But that makes us sound equal. That's no good. You know,
- things were much better in the Sixties...
- (Batman drones on. Fade)
