Batman Cast

Holy Hypnotism! The Joker has trapped Robin inside a wax-spraying machine, while Batman is strapped to a giant key duplicator. But the Caped Crusader uses the spare house key in his utility belt to jam the duplicator's mechanism, freeing himself so that he can then overpower the Joker’s henchmen and rescue an immobilised and waxen Boy Wonder. Batman takes his glazed chum back to the Batcave, where he restores him back to normal using Bat Wax-Solvent. Elsewhere, the Clown Prince of Crime has created a new box that can control time, planning to use it to cause havoc in the city; he also plots to introduce a hallucinogen into the city's water supply, thereby ensuring that the citizens of Gotham will be in his power. Luckily Alfred is on hand to help the Dynamic Duo; he speeds off to the Gotham Reservoir on his newly-designed Alfcycle, and then swaps places with his look-a-like cousin Egbert, the night watchman at the reservoir, as part of a trap for the Joker and his men…
