PREVIOUSLY ON "BATWOMAN"...
MARQUIS IS SICK.
THERE WAS AN INCIDENT.
THE JOKER PRESSED THIS GODFORSAKEN THING
TO MY SON'S HEAD AND TURNED HIM INTO A MONSTER.
I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT ANOTHER BUZZ COULD CURE HIM.
I AM LOSING MY MIND!
THE HALLUCINATIONS ARE BACK.
I JUST NEED A LITTLE EDGER
UNTIL YOU CAN GET ME THE JOY BUZZER.
THERE'S ONLY ONE BUZZ LEFT.
RYAN NEEDS IT... FOR HER BROTHER.
MARY: YOUR DAD PROGRAMMED YOUR SUIT'S AI
TO SPEAK WITH HIS VOICE?
DAD, SAY HELLO TO MARY.
AI: HELLO, MARY.
IT'S LIKE YOU CAN TALK TO HIM AGAIN.
IT SEEMS BATWOMAN IS A NO-SHOW.
[BOTH GRUNTING]
JADA: MY GOD. THAT'S WHY BATWOMAN DIDN'T SHOW UP.
SHE WAS HERE THE WHOLE TIME.
I'M SORRY, MARY.
WHAT DID YOU DO?
ALICE: WHAT IF I WERE TO GIVE YOU SOMETHING
THAT WOULD MAKE THE JOKER...
WISH HE WERE YOU?
LET'S HAVE SOME FUN.

GETTING ALICE OUT OF MY HEAD!
ALICE, STOP...THIS.
-THAT COULD KILL YOU. -GIVE IT BACK!
WAIT, WAIT.
JUST WAIT.
[SOBBING]
I TOLD YOU I WOULD HELP YOU!
AND I FOUND A PLACE.
IT'S IN SWITZERLAND, IT'S NEAR GENEVA,
AND IT'S CALLED THE WEISSE KANINCHEN SANATORIUM.
THEY SPECIALIZE IN CHILDHOOD TRAUMA.
THEY CAN HELP YOU.
NO.
NO MORE CELLS.
NO MORE INSTITUTIONS.
I CANNOT BE IN MY HEAD ANYMORE!
I WANT OUT!
PLEASE GET ME OUT.
PLEASE, PLEASE.
[SOBBING]
I CAN'T.
PLEASE!
SOPHIE: ALL RIGHT, BATWOMAN. WHAT'S THE PLAN?
HOW DO WE BEST HANDLE OUR ONE WILD
AND PRECIOUS BUZZ?
MARQUIS SHOWED US HE DOESN'T HAVE ACCESS
TO A SLIVER OF HUMANITY,
AND THANKS TO, ALICE, HE JUST GOT CONTROL
OF THE BATCAVE,
SO HOWEVER WE GET HIM, IT'S GOT TO BE TODAY,
AND IF THIS THING ONLY HAS JUICE FOR ONE BUZZ,
I HAVE TO BE THE ONE TO MAKE THE PLAY.
SO WE LURE HIM CLOSE,
AND I HIT HIM BEFORE HE KNOWS WHAT'S COMING.
MARY: OR ALTERNATIVELY, WE GIVE IT TO ALICE.
SORRY I'M LATE.
YOU KNOW SHE JUST GAVE MARQUIS THE KEYS
TO THE BATKINGDOM, RIGHT?
I JUST CAME BACK FROM ARKHAM,
WHERE I FOUND HER PLAYING DIY
ELECTROSHOCK THERAPY WITH A SOCKET WRENCH.
SHE'S NOT GONNA SURVIVE HER NEXT PSYCHOLOGICAL BREAK.
WE TRIED TO HELP HER.
ALICE MADE HER BED.
RYAN: OK, MARY.
WE KNOW YOU FEEL A CERTAIN...WHATEVER
FOR HER, BUT THE BUZZER CREATED MARQUIS.
THE JOKER CREATED MARQUIS,
AND IF WE'RE SPLITTING HAIRS,
HE CREATED ALICE, TOO.
LUKE: ALICE KILLED YOUR MOM, MARY.
DO YOU THINK I FORGOT?
YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW HOW BADLY
RYAN WANTS HER BROTHER BACK
OR THAT THE FIRST TIME ALICE EVER MET SOPHIE
SHE THREW HER OFF A 30-STORY BUILDING?
I KNOW. IT IS NOT LIKE THIS IS
SOME EASY DECISION FOR ME...OR ANYONE,
BUT I BELIEVE ALICE IS CAPABLE OF CHANGE.
SHE JUST NEEDS A CHANCE.
COME ON. EACH ONE OF YOU LOOKED ME IN THE EYE
A FEW WEEKS AGO, APOLOGIZED
FOR SIDELINING ME, AND ASSURED ME
I WOULD HAVE A VOICE ON THIS TEAM.
THIS IS IT.
THIS IS ME USING MY VOICE.
THIS IS--THIS IS WHAT I WANT.
I NEED TO SAVE ALICE'S LIFE.
[CELL PHONES ALERTS RINGING]
SOPHIE: I JUST GOT A LIVE URGENT MESSAGE FROM MARQUIS JET.
YEAH, ME, TOO.
I THINK WE ALL DID.
WHAT'S UP, GOTHAM CITY? WE HAVING FUN YET?
MARQUIS JET HOLLERIN' AT YOU
FROM A TOP-SECRET LOCATION.
THE TIME HAS COME, THE DAY IS HERE.
TONIGHT IS THE DAMN NIGHT.
I NEED EVERYONE TO TAKE TO THE STREETS,
GET OUT ON YOUR BALCONIES, JUMP UP ON YOUR CAR.
HELL, CLIMB UP TO THE TIPPY TOP
OF YOUR CORNER CHURCH STEEPLE
BECAUSE IN 5 HOURS ON THE DOT...
I'M GONNA BE SHOUTING BATWOMAN'S TRUE IDENTITY
FROM THE ROOFTOPS.
SPOILER ALERT!
SHE'S NOT THE HERO YOU THINK SHE IS.
TICKTOCK, GOTHAM.
THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING.
MARQUIS JET IS ABOUT TO SHUT BATWOMAN DOWN FOR GOOD.
DANA DEWITT: WE ARE STILL HOURS AWAY
FROM THE BATWOMAN NAME DROP,
BUT CURIOSITY HAS ALREADY PULLED
SOME GOTHAM RESIDENTS TO THE STREETS,
REACTING TO CLAIMS MADE BY WAYNE CEO MARQUIS JET
THAT HE KNOWS THE SCARLET KNIGHT'S
SECRET IDENTITY AND THAT WE SHOULD ALL BRACE
FOR DISAPPOINTMENT.
NO DETAILS BEYOND THAT WERE TEASED,
BUT PUTTING A FACE TO THE NAME WOULD CERTAINLY BE
THE END OF BUSINESS AS USUAL FOR THE CAPED CRUSADER,
WHOSE ANONYMITY IS KEY TO HER OWN SAFETY
AND THOSE OF HER LOVED ONES.
WHILE VARIOUS THEORIES SURROUNDING
WHO'S BEHIND THE MASK HAVE BEEN BOUNCING AROUND
SOCIAL MEDIA...
OH. GUYS.
TOLD YOU SHE DOESN'T KNOCK.
I TAKE IT YOU SAW MARQUIS' THREATS.
I BELIEVE 10 MILLION PEOPLE SAW MARQUIS' THREATS.
HOW ON EARTH DID HE HIJACK
EVERY PHONE, TV, AND LIVESTREAM IN THIS CITY?
HE GOT INTO THE BATCAVE.
FROM THERE, HE FOUND THE COMPUTER,
WHICH LED TO WAYNE'S SATELLITE,
WHICH HE USED TO OVERRIDE GOTHAM'S AIRWAVES.
MY DAD CREATED THE TECH IN THE EVENT
THAT BATMAN HAD TO SEND AN SOS TO EVERY PERSON
IN THE CITY ALL AT ONCE.
ANY CHANCE YOU CAN TRACE THE ORIGINAL FEED
BACK TO ITS LOCATION?
WITHOUT ACCESS TO THE BATCAVE, I WAS LUCKY
TO BE ABLE TO GET A SCREENCAP.
WELL, THAT'S NOT GONNA HELP US.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
DO YOU REMEMBER HOW YOUR FATHER
ALWAYS REPEATED HIMSELF WHEN HE GOT MAD?
-VIVIDLY. WHY? -I CAN HEAR HIM NOW.
"JADA, JADA, JADA, YOU LET MY BOY
"TAKE ON MARQUIS WITH A SMARTPHONE AND A DIALUP?
MM-MM-MM."
I'M SURE MY TECH TEAM CAN PULL
A CARRIER-GRADE ROUTER OFF JETURIAN'S SERVER FARM.
UH...THANK YOU?
WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF TIME.
WE'VE GOT TO FIND MARQUIS AND BUZZ HIM
WITH THAT JOY BUZZER.
WHERE'S RYAN?
MARY: AHEM. THAT IS SUCH A GOOD QUESTION.
UH...WHERE'S RYAN?
RIGHT. UH, SOPHIE, DIDN'T RYAN TELL YOU WHERE SHE WAS HEADED?
SOPHIE: UH, YES. I BELIEVE SHE SAID
SHE WAS RUNNING AN ERRAND.
RIGHT. THAT'S WHAT I REMEMBER.
ERRAND. DUH. SHE DID MENTION AN ERRAND.
WHERE WAS IT AGAIN?
RYAN: TELL ME WHY YOU DESERVE THE JOY BUZZER.
SHOULDN'T YOU BE OUT ENJOYING YOUR LAST FEW HOURS
OF SUPERHERO ANONYMITY?
YEAH, I SHOULD. INSTEAD, I'M HERE
DOING MY BEST FRIEND A SOLID
WHILE THE PERSON WHO ACTUALLY NEEDS IT
IS OUT THERE THREATENING TO DESTROY
EVERYTHING I'VE WORKED FOR.
OH, YOU MEAN THE BROTHER YOU'RE SCARED
IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE?
FACE IT, RY-RY, YOU CAN BLAME MARY ALL YOU WANT,
BUT DEEP DOWN IN THAT LITTLE ORPHAN HEART,
YOU NEED ME TO HAVE THAT THING.
OH, WOW. MARY WAS RIGHT. YOU DID STOP MAKING SENSE.
OR...CHANCES ARE YOU SPENT
THE LAST FEW MONTHS DAYDREAMING
ABOUT WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO HAVE A NUCLEAR FAMILY.
THANKSGIVING DINNERS,
FAMILY GAME NIGHTS,
THE COMFORT OF A KIDNEY SHOULD A NEW ONE BECOME NECESSARY.
YOUR DESPERATION'S SHOWING.
WHAT IF YOU ZAP MARQUIS
AND THAT GOOD LITTLE BOY BURIED
BENEATH THAT TACKY CLOWN SUIT TURNS OUT
TO BE DOING JUST FINE
WITHOUT HIS NEEDY LITTLE SISTER?
DO YOU REALLY WANT TO RISK GETTING YOUR HOPES UP
ONLY TO HAVE HIM LEAVE YOU LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE?
I'M YOUR SAFE BET, RYAN. HEH HEH.
PSYCHO OR SANE,
YOU DON'T NEED ME TO LOVE YOU BACK.
JADA: OUR STINGRAYS CAN SIMULATE A CELL TOWER,
AND SINCE OUR SUPERCOMPUTERS ARE TOO BIG
TO WALK THROUGH THAT DOOR, YOU'LL NEED THIS,
A SECURE ACCESS POINT TO THE QUANTUM COMPUTER AT GOTHAM UNIVERSITY.
DID YOU SAY QUANTUM COMPUTER?
YOUR FATHER HAD ME FUND THE COMPUTER LAB IT LIVES IN.
IT SEEMS ONLY RIGHT YOU USE IT.
GREG, TELL HERSHEL TO PULL THE GENERATOR INTO THE ALLEY.
GREG: YES, MA'AM.
THIS PROCESSOR MAKES THE BATCAVE LOOK LIKE
IT RUNS ON A HAMSTER WHEEL.
WHERE WERE ALL OF THESE RESOURCES
WHEN JADA DIDN'T THINK WE HAD THE JOY BUZZER?
DIBS ON NOT BEING THE ONE TO TELL HER.
ANY UPDATE FROM RYAN?
NOT YET.
SO WHAT'S IT GONNA BE, RY-RY?
WOW. THIS WAS A WASTE OF MY TIME.
HAVE A NICE LIFE, ALICE.
I DON'T DESERVE THE JOY BUZZER, OK?
WE BOTH KNOW THAT'S WHAT YOU WANTED TO HEAR...
BUT I DO HAVE A LITTLE PIECE OF INFORMATION
YOU'RE GONNA NEED IF YOU WANT TO LIVE TO SEE TOMORROW.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
[FOOTSTEPS]
DARE I SAY IT'S ACCURATE TO ASSUME
THAT MARQUIS IS HARBORING A...
WEE, LITTLE MAN CRUSH ON THE JOKER?
LUKE: GOT A HIT. HONING IN ON MARQUIS' LOCATION NOW.
HOW DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?
MARY: WHAT ARE ALL OF THOSE?
HIS SINGULAR CELL I.D. IS PINGING OFF
10 DIFFERENT SHOPS IN GOTHAM SQUARE.
ALICE: ACCORDING TO YOUR BROTHER,
WHEN HE WAS 7, THE JOKER JUMPED ON HIS BUS
AND WHISPERED HIS BIG, EVIL PLAN
TO DESTROY GOTHAM CITY ONCE AND FOR ALL.
UNFORTUNATELY FOR THE JOKER,
BATTY STOPPED HIM AND DUMPED HIM INTO ARKHAM
BEFORE HE COULD PULL IT OFF,
BUT, UM, CURIOUS CATHY OVER HERE
WANDERED DOWN TO THE CAF
AND ASKED A FEW OF THE ARKHAM LIFERS
IF MR. SMILEY PANTS HAD EVER...
TALKED ABOUT WHAT HE HAD PLANNED ON DOING THAT DAY.
WOW. DID I EVER HEAR THE MOST...
INTERESTING RIDDLE.
HE'S MOVING, JUST REALLY, REALLY SLOW.
CONVERTING COORDINATES, ADDING ALTITUDE.
HE'S NOT ON THE GROUND. HE'S IN THE AIR.
SO, WHAT? MARQUIS TOOK THE WAYNE JET?
WELL, IF THE WAYNE JET MOVED THAT SLOW,
IT WOULD FALL OUT OF THE SKY.
-NO. -WHAT?
[TYPING]
NO. NO! NO!
WHAT WAS IT?
TEASE THEM WITH A RIDDLE,
GET THEM ALL OUTSIDE.
WHAT'S WET AND MELTS AND ISN'T SNOW
BUT ENDS IN GENOCIDE?
THIS ISN'T ABOUT MY IDENTITY, IS IT?
THAT WAS JUST THE DRAW.
THIS...IS ABOUT THE JOKER'S DESIRE
TO PUNISH THE CITY FOR WORSHIPING
THE BAT SYMBOL.
IT'S ABOUT KILLING AS MANY PEOPLE
AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE
AND RIDDLING THIS CITY WITH SURVIVORS
THAT ARE AS UGLY AS HIM.
HOW? HOW DOES ONE PERSON BLOW UP AN ENTIRE CITY?
HE TOOK IT. IT'S GONE.
HE MUST HAVE FOUND THE LOCATION
OF THE SECRET AIRSTRIP IN THE BATCAVE'S RECORDS.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S GONE? WHAT'S GONE?
THE BATBLIMP.
[ENGINES RUMBLING]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
THE GAME'S CHANGED.
THIS ISN'T ABOUT MY IDENTITY.
IT'S ABOUT LURING 10 MILLION INNOCENT PEOPLE
TO THEIR DEATHS.
IN ONE HOUR, MARQUIS IS DROPPING ACID BOMBS
OVER THE CITY AND DESTROYING EVERYTHING
AND EVERYONE IN ITS BLAST RADIUS,
SO WE MAY BE IN A BAR DEALING WITH THE FALLOUT
OF BATMAN'S GREATEST ENEMY WITHOUT A JOY BUZZER
OR TIME TO THINK STRAIGHT,
BUT WE DON'T GET EXCUSES.
-NO ONE DIES TODAY. AM I CLEAR? -CRYSTAL.
GOOD. ANY CHANCE YOU CAN HACK INTO THE CONTROLS OF THE BATBLIMP?
I'VE NEVER ONCE SEEN THE BLIMP'S INTERFACE,
BUT IT'S POSSIBLE THE COORDINATES
ARE VULNERABLE TO AN ISMI CATCHER.
-NEED A YES OR NO. -I CAN'T LAND IT,
BUT I CAN PROBABLY GET IT CLOSE.
CLOSE IS ALL WE NEED.
I NEED YOU TO DIRECT IT TO THE GCPD ROOFTOP.
WHY? WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING?
SO YOU CAN STOP ME?
IT'S THAT CRAZY?
LOOK AT YOU FIGURING ME OUT ALREADY.
NO TIME FOR DETAILS. BESIDES, I NEED YOU AND MARY
TO PUT YOUR BRAINS TOGETHER TO GET EVERYONE IN THE CITY
TO TAKE COVER WITHOUT INCITING A CHAOS MOB.
HOW? NOT TO THROW SHADE ON MY OWN SEX APPEAL HERE,
BUT YOU KNOW I ONLY HAVE, LIKE, 300 FOLLOWERS
ON SOCIALS, RIGHT?
THE BATMAN TROPHIES.
CHANCES ARE MARQUIS CLEANED HOUSE
ON THE BATWEAPONS, BUT HE DOESN'T HAVE ACCESS
TO THE WING WITH THE TROPHY ROOM
WITHOUT BATWOMAN'S DNA.
-SO? -SO BETWEEN THE MAD HATTER'S HAT
AND THE CONDIMENT KING'S GUN, SURELY THERE'S
SOME KOOKY TOOL IN THERE THAT CAN INFLUENCE
PEOPLE'S BEHAVIOR.
SOPHIE: OK. LET'S SAY THERE WERE.
HOW THE HELL DO WE GET INTO THE BATCAVE?
I'M SURE MARQUIS QUADRUPLED SECURITY
SINCE BATWING AND I GOT BUSTED
BREAKING INTO WAYNE.
JADA'S REALLY NOT HAPPY WITH ME,
BUT I MAY HAVE AN IDEA.
I'M SORRY.
WHEN YOU SAID WE'D GET OUR FAMILY BACK,
I TRUSTED YOU.
WE WILL GET OUR FAMILY BACK.
HOW? THAT BUZZER WAS THE ONLY WAY TO SAVE MARQUIS.
YOU KNEW THAT, AND YOU STILL GAVE IT AWAY.
HAVING THAT BUZZER IN OUR POSSESSION
WOULDN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT A BLIMP
HOVERING OVER OUR CITY IS ABOUT TO DOUSE
OUR STREETS WITH THE JOKER'S ACID BOMBS.
WE NEED TO GET PEOPLE TO SAFETY.
I HAVE CONNECTIONS, RYAN,
BUT I HIGHLY DOUBT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
IS GOING TO TAKE MY CALL.
I DON'T NEED THE PRESIDENT.
I NEED MY MOM
TO PICK UP HER PHONE
AND GET ME WAYNE ENTERPRISES BACK.
DO TO HIM WHAT YOU DID TO ME.
IF IT WERE THAT SIMPLE, I WOULD HAVE DONE IT WEEKS AGO.
MARQUIS IS SMART. HIS ACCOUNTING IS BULLETPROOF.
AND I'M GUESSING HE'S NOT HIDING
A BILLION-DOLLAR VIGILANTE FUND.
NO, BUT HE IS HIDING SOMETHING--
THE UGLY TRUTH.
JADA... IF YOU DO MEAN
WHAT I THINK YOU MEAN,
THERE COULD BE SERIOUS RAMIFICATIONS
FOR YOU, TOO.
I'VE RISKED EVERYTHING TO PROTECT MY SON AND FAILED.
IT'S TIME I TAKE A PAGE FROM MY DAUGHTER'S HANDBOOK.
IT'S TIME TO PUT THE CITY FIRST.

[BEEPING]
OK. ARE YOU LOOKING AT THE SATELLITE ACCESS PORTAL?
UH, THE THING WITH THE DOTS AND THE NUMBERS?
LET'S ASSUME YES. SO YOU'RE GONNA GET A PROMPT.

TO EACH OF THE SATELLITES.
UH...
JUST CLICK THE BOX NEXT TO THE SATELLITE FILE.
OK. CLICKING BOXES.
IT'S KIND OF CREEPY HOW EASY THIS IS.
WELL, CONSIDERING I JUST HAD TO REMIND YOU WHERE THE POWER SWITCH WAS--
OK. TEAM DOCTOR, NOT THE TECHIE.

-I MISSED THIS. -WHAT? ME FUMBLING

OK. I'M TWO CLICKS AWAY FROM CONTROLLING GOTHAM'S AIRWAVES.

OK. COOL. WHAT DID SOPHIE LAND ON?

VIA EYE FASCINATION.
I MEAN, THAT-- THAT'S BRILLIANT.

OK. HEY. UH, GET YOUR HYPNO ON.

YEAH.

AH. I LOVE YOU MORONS.
[THUD]
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?
HEY. HEY!
WHY DID WE DROP?
I HAVE NO IDEA, MR. JET.
COMPUTER CHANGED COORDINATES AND LOCKED ME OUT.
WELL, THEN PUT IT IN AUTOPILOT.
I DID. NOTHING IS WORKING, SIR.
IT'S TOTALLY DEAD.
GUESS YOU TWO HAVE THAT IN COMMON.
RYAN: LUKE, I NEED THIS THING TO BE A LOT LOWER.
YEAH. TRYING. SOMETHING HAPPENED.
I'M LITERALLY STARING AT A TICKING CLOCK HERE.
YEAH. I LOST ACCESS. EVERYTHING JUST DROPPED OFFLINE.
I NEED SOME TIME TO GET BACK IN.
WE DON'T HAVE TIME.
WISH ME LUCK.
WHOA, WHOA, HEY, HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

LORD, HELP ME.
I'M IN THE CARGO HOLD NOW.
SOPHIE: WHAT DO YOU SEE?
PLEASE TELL ME THEY TAUGHT YOU
HOW TO DISARM A BOMB AT POINT ROCK.
GET ME EYES ON IT.
HALF A DOZEN DRUMS.
ALL ATTACHED TO A TIMER THAT TELLS ME
WE HAVE LESS THAN 15 MINUTES
BEFORE MARQUIS MAKES IT RAIN ACID ALL OVER GOTHAM.
WHERE DO I START?
-YOU DON'T. -OK. I WAS EXPECTING SOMETHING
MORE LIKE CUT THE GREEN OR PURPLE.
I COUNT AT LEAST 4 TRIPWIRES
THAT WOULD SET THIS OFF EARLY,
NOT TO MENTION ANY OTHER NASTY HIDDEN SURPRISES
THE JOKER MIGHT HAVE LEFT BEHIND.
YOU TOUCH ANY ONE OF THOSE WIRES,
THE WHOLE DAMN THING COULD GO.
WHERE THE HELL ARE WE WITH EVACING THE CITY?
I'M JUST ABOUT TO ACCESS WAYNE SECURITY MAINFRAME
AND DROP A HOT TIP...NOW.

WE'RE MAKING PROGRESS. YOU OUT OF THERE YET?
I'M GONNA TRY TO REROUTE THE BLIMP OVER THE OCEAN.
OK. TELL ME YOU LEARNED HOW TO WIRE
A BLIMP'S CONTROLS AT POINT ROCK.
PRETTY SURE PILOT A GIANT COMBUSTIBLE BALLOON WASN'T
OFFERED IN BASIC TRAINING.
THIS THING BLOWS,
ACID'S STILL GONNA RAIN DOWN OVER THE CITY.
ONCE MARQUIS REALIZES WE TOOK AWAY HIS AUDIENCE,
HE COULD TRIGGER THE BOMB AT ANY MOMENT
WITH YOU STILL INSIDE.
I CAN'T JUST WALK AWAY FROM THIS.
I'M NOT LOSING YOU, RYAN!
YOU DON'T GET TO PLAY THE CRAZY CARD WITH ME.
I'M NOT LOSING YOU.
NOBODY'S EVER SAID THAT TO ME BEFORE.
MARQUIS: AND NOBODY EVER WILL AGAIN.
SHOULD HAVE KNOWN YOU HAD SOMETHING TO DO
WITH WHAT'S GOING ON BELOW.
SEE, THIS IS WHY I NEVER WANTED A LITTLE SISTER.
THEY RUIN ALL THE FUN.
YOUR DEFINITION OF FUN IS BLOWING UP HALF OF GOTHAM?
WHOA. WHY SO PESSIMISTIC?
THAT MEANS HALF THE ISLAND LIVES
TO REMEMBER THE DAY THAT THE BATBLIMP
DISFIGURED THEM BEYOND RECOGNITION
AND BATWOMAN DIDN'T SAVE THEM.

AS IN WHAT IS UP WITH TACKY-ASS TV
COVERING MY STAINED GLASS?
I MEAN...WHAT'S NEXT FOR US?
WELL, I THOUGHT WE AGREED YOU WERE GONNA BUY ME DINNER.
WOMAN: ♪ YOU MAKE IT BETTER, BETTER, BETTER ♪
♪ BETTER THAN THIS AND BETTER THAN THAT ♪
BROUGHT THE CHAMPS!
AND WE'RE INTERRUPTING.
THIS IS GONNA KEEP HAPPENING, ISN'T IT?
-PROBABLY. -PROBABLY.
WELL, I FOR ONE AM NOT GONNA LET
A SLIGHTLY AWKWARD SENSATION GET IN THE WAY
OF OUR RARE OPPORTUNITY
TO CELEBRATE!
I'M ACTUALLY GLAD YOU'RE ALL HERE.
I NEED YOUR HELP GETTING THIS PLACE
RIGHT AGAIN.
STARTING WITH THIS.
WOMAN: ♪ BETTER, BETTER, BETTER
THAT'S BETTER.
SO DO I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HE DID TO OUR BATCAVE?
DOESN'T BATWOMAN TAKE A NIGHT OFF?
THIS IS GOTHAM, HOME OF THE INFECTIOUS REPTILE TEETH,
DUDES IN PIG MASKS,
A KILLER VINE CAUSING MY BESTIE TO GET HER BADDIE ON.
IF I HAVE LEARNED ANYTHING,
IT IS TO BE PREPARED FOR EVERYTHING AT ALL TIMES.
ARE Y'ALL WITH ME?
WE'RE WITH YOU, BATWOMAN.
WHERE ELSE WOULD WE BE?
YEAH. OH. I THOUGHT WE WERE DRINKING.
YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU'RE RIGHT.
I'M JUST...
I'LL TAKE IT WITH.
LET'S GET TO WORK.

[SIRENS]
THIS IS DANA DEWITT LIVE FROM THE TOXIC SCENE
THAT COULD'VE DESTROYED GOTHAM CITY
WITHOUT THE HEROICS OF BATWOMAN.
THE CITY HAS ADVISED CITIZENS TO STAY AWAY FROM THE AREA
AS THEY ASSESS THE HAZARDOUS AIR QUALITY CAUSED
BY THE JOKER'S ACID BOMB THAT BLANKETED THE NEIGHBOR--
OH, MY GOD. WHAT IS THAT?
[CAMERAMAN GRUNTING]
DEWITT: AAH! OH, MY GOD!

[MAN GRUNTING]
MAN: GREG, MOVE YOUR HEAD!
