an outlaw physicist who planned to make a fortune

'Unfortunately for Time Code'

"His young friend?"
I don't have a name anymore?
Get me my tool kit, Boy Wonder.
And you, be careful with that.
It has a glitch.
Hey, the plug's been pulled.
Or didn't you notice?
It also has an internal power source
or didn't you notice?
Just testing.
I'll put it down there.
thud
You're welcome.
He learned science from Nobel laureates
martial arts from Kung Fu masters
and manners from a crocodile.
So he's a little harsh sometimes.
- Sometimes? - He's teaching you.
Making sure you'll be ready for whatever.
I think you're kind of lucky.
- I got it! - No!
Stay away!
I can handle this!
Hey!
Aah! Aah!
Where'd he go?
Not where...when.

Batman? Robin?
Somebody's been doing some redecorating.
What are you doing here?
whoosh
I-it's kind of a long story, uh..
Whoa! Let's not get off on the wrong foot here
'cause that's one foot you don't want to step on.
crackle crackle
Batman's not gonna be happy
when he hears how you've been treating his guest
and you really don't want to see Batman unhappy.
First, we don't have guests here.
And, second, I'm Batman.
And I'm Beyonce.
Well, whoever you are, you don't belong here.
Whoa!
boom
Gettin' sloppy.
Sloppy, huh?
zap zap zap
- Need more? - That's enough.
There is no time for this.
I need you, both of you.
You know this kid?
He says his name's Beyonce.
He's Static.
Static's an old guy.
Hey, I'm almost old enough to drive.
Yep. Static.
And you're Bruce Wayne, aren't you?
- But you're so, so.. - Old?
No big surprise considering you just hopscotched over 40 years.
Huh?
Ever since that accident, I've been expecting this moment
and the timing couldn't be better.
Cobra is a group of snake worshippers
who want to take over the world.
The police caught their leader a week ago
but Cobra's just taken a prisoner of their own.
There's going to be a trade.
Sounds fair to me.
Fair? Negotiating with criminals?
- I don't see much choice. - I do.
We can rescue the prisoner before the exchange.
We could have him back and keep their leader.
Hey, you two are the team, you can handle this.
I gotta find a way home.
I need both of you to rescue the prisoner.
Wherever Cobra's keeping him
I'm sure they're guarding him very heavily.
He's one of our greatest heroes
someone with the power to change the world. Someone who--
Come on! How great can this guy be if he's stupid enough
to get caught by a bunch of snake people?
He's you, Virgil.
whoosh
It's all so incredible.
And I'm the man here, huh?
Not you. Him.
Me, him, same thing, give or take 40 years.
Not exactly, which is why
you're along strictly for backup.
Backup? You've seen what I can do..
You're still mad about that little go-round we had?
This has nothing to do with that.
But you are still mad at me.
Look, suppose something happened to you tonight, something bad
that would mean the older version of you
'would never have existed, right?'
Could that really happen?
I mean, if I.. Well, then he..
Let's not try any experiments, okay?
whoosh
Well, isn't there anyone else who can help us?
- What about Robin? - Robin?
He's a civilian now.
And the League's off near Alpha Centauri.
Gear is on the other side of the world, and your son is--
Son? Whoa!
- I have a son? - Yeah, you do.
You've got a lot of surprises in store
but I'm not gonna spoil any more of them. Come on.
- What are you doing? - Going undercover.
The old man has a contact
who might be able to get me into Cobra.
Supposed to wait down there for him.
Sure must be nice having someone to give you leads
and help figure out things.
It is.
What was Bruce like when you knew him?
Taller.
I recognize the streets, but everything else is so..
'...different.'
He's a splicer. They use animal DNA.
Some of the whack jobs in Cobra look almost like snakes.
That can't be legal.
It's not, but the cops are too busy
to do much about it.
Well, some things never change. What now?
I go wait under that bridge
and you, you're gonna stay at the corner
and try very hard not to erase your own future.
Hmph!
whoosh
Well, this is a surprise.
I thought you were gonna throw away the key.
clang
- Out. - We're going somewhere?
Not if I had my way.
There's gonna be a prisoner exchange, isn't there?
We must have gotten one of yours.
Who was it?
Wonder Woman?
The Lantern?
- Static? - Quiet.
Perfect, just perfect.
vroom vroom
Virgil? Uh!
- Virgil! - 'Easy on the volume.'
We're supposed to be undercover, remember?
I'm supposed to be undercover.
You were just gonna wait.
I did...till I got tired of it. Come here!
I found someone who says he knows all about Cobra.
That's him, down there.
You have got to be kidding.
Maybe he's the guy.
- But the old man said-- - Come on.
Cobra's right in here, boys.
You're sure about this?
Why would I lie to you?
Oh, yeah. That's why I'd lie.
They're Jokers. They don't know anything about Cobra.
He was just yanking your chain.
No biggie. They're just a bunch of clowns, that's all.
See? A bunch of cl..
hiss
Yeah. Clowns.
'Get him!'
zap
Hey, that was way shui.
Shui? I don't get it.
Get this.
Now I get it. Shui.
It's a distraction! Look!
♪ Yeah ♪
♪ Come on ♪
zap
Come on, guys. Where's that sparkling sense of humor?
thud
Well, let's hear it.
Thank you?
You sent us off on a wild goose chase.
We probably missed the real contact
and you want gratitude?
I just can't see how you could have grown up to be
one of the world's greatest heroes.
Hey, relax. We'll be there soon.
Yeah.
Hey!
'He's heading for the bridge! Stop him!'
- 'He's gone!' - This way, come on!
Now call the harbor patrol.
Long live Cobra!
whoosh
This is 7-5-niner, requesting permission to take off.
Got a clearance yet? Over.
It's gonna be another couple minutes, 7-5-niner.
We got some heavy traffic coming in. Over.
You okay? Over.
Just fine.
But I don't think I'll wait for clearance.
Over and out.
Hey! Stop!
It's me. I'll be there in a few minutes.
Leader, Grisby.
What should we do with Static?
Don't touch him. Static's mine.
'You've gotta get this kid off my back'
he's driving me crazy.
I saved his butt. He needs me.
Quiet! Cobra's leader just escaped.
'That means they don't need Static anymore.'
What do we do now?
'Hello?'
I'm thinking.
whoosh
'Looks just like we left it.'
- What are you doing? - This is where I go to think.
It's pretty pathetic.
Not everybody has a mansion.
And what are you doing?
I kinda ran into a dead end.
I thought you wanted to be on your own.
Look, coming here was hard enough for me.
I'm not gonna get down on my knees and..
And what?
Why is there a retinal scanner in an old abandoned gas station?
Retinal scanner? Let me see.
Oh. Uh..
clang clang clang
Looks like I haven't done too bad for myself.
Know what this is?
Looks sorta like a shock box, but..
Gear? What happened to you?
You got so...big.
It's a recorded hologram.
Oh, yeah, right.
It's like those things people used to have
uh, answering machines.
So this is an old message?
Mm-hmm.
Virg, meet me at Dakota Platform 247 right away.
It's an emergency.
Tuesday, 7:40 a.m.
That was this morning.
I thought you said Gear was on the other side of the world.
He is. It's a secret mission, only the old man knew.
Then they must have faked this somehow.
This is how they tricked me.
I mean, him. Any idea where this Platform 247 is?
No. But I know someone who does.
whoosh
Praise Cobra!
Let all fear our minds.
We have Static in a stasis chamber.
He's ready for you.
Good.
But I'd like to do a little splicing first.
I thought you might.
The platforms were originally designed for the military
now they're ghost towns.
whoosh
Allow me.
'It's a stasis field.'
'That's how they're holding him.'
'That's me.'
Got a plan?
Go down there and fight real hard.
That's what I was thinking
and I don't even have a mentor.
See if you can shut off the stasis field.
What have we here?
A failed cloning attempt?
'A mini Static?'
Yeah, mini alright.
slam
Hold him!
This'll perk up your circuits.
crackle crackle
Static! Here!
What am I supposed to do with it..
'It's knockout gas! Throw it!'
It's not gonna do you any good.
'It will if I supercharge it.'
We're gonna need some help here.
And I know just who.
crackle
Stop 'em!
thud
Wow.
'I can see why you didn't think I could be him.'
Actually, I'm starting to see the resemblance.
I...I have so many questions.
Don't worry. Everything's gonna be fine.
- Hey, what's happening? - You must be going back.
What's gonna happen to me? What should I do?
Believe in yourself.
That's your greatest power.
Welcome back.
Yeah. I knew I could fix this.
Gear! I saw the future!
I saw you, I saw myself, I saw Batman.
- Batman, you were.. - I'd rather not know.
Well, you still had your hair. Unh.
You gonna be okay?
I'm gonna be just fine.
Oh, and, Gear, maybe you should lay off the fries.
