Batman Cast

Holy Elections! The Penguin decides to campaign for the post of Mayor of Gotham City. As part of his plan to endear himself to the hearts of Gotham’s citizens he halts a robbery attempt, saves a baby from a runaway pram, and then donates the princely sum of $100,000 to a city charity. Discovering that the polls now show a massive support for Felonious Fowl, Batman realises that the only way to stop the villain’s scheme is to run for mayor against him; however, the Caped Crusader’s campaign is swiftly overshadowed by the Penguin’s more high-profile operation, which uses loud marching bands, a sultry belly dancer, lots of pretty girls and free champagne for all. Batman and Robin are booked to give an appearance before the Grand Order Of Occidental Nighthawks, but quickly find themselves up against the Penguin's GOONs instead…
