Batman Cast

Holy Heat Rays! Batman and Robin are about to be burnt alive by the sun’s rays shining through magnifying glasses, but a solar eclipse saves them; when the sun reappears, the heat burns through the Dynamic Duo’s bonds, setting them free. The Caped Crusader and Boy Wonder determine that Catwoman's next target is the Gotham State Building, the location of a sale of Zubin Zucchini's two rare Stradivarius violins, each valued at $250,000, and sporting the catgut that Catwoman covets. Meanwhile, the feline felon uses gas to render the wealthy recluse Minerva Mathews unconscious, and then takes her place so that she can buy the expensive musical instruments. Arriving at the second floor - where the heat and altitude conditions are purr-fect for the delicate violins - she attempts to steal the violins, only to find that Zucchini is actually Robin in disguise! The Boy Wonder is swiftly overpowered by the Catmen and Jack O'Shea, who promptly prepare to throw him out of a window…
