Batman Cast

Holy Radioactivity! Egghead, Queen Olga and her Cossacks break into the Gotham City Radium Center and steal a quantity of radium. When Barbara Gordon pays a visit to her friend Professor Dactyl at the Gotham Museum, the crazy crooks steal a giant fossilised forty-million year-old Neosaurus egg from under their noses. Egghead plans to use the radium to hatch the egg, so that he can set the dinosaur within on a rampage through Gotham City. Recalling Professor Grimes' article from ‘The South-eastern Regional Journal Of Applied Radiology’, Revitalizing Fossil Forms by the Use of High-Energy Radioactive Energy Sources, Batman, Robin and Batgirl surmise Egghead's mad scheme, and by using their Batgeiger counters to trace the stolen radium, they swiftly locate the domed do-badder’s hideout. However, the Boy Wonder and the Caped Crusaderess are captured by the criminals, and forced to look on as Egghead hatches the dinosaur from its egg…
