Thank you for leading me here, whelp.
The riches of this era far exceed those of our primitive future.
But now it is time you became history.
Serviteks, attack.
Sorry, Batman. We risked the Misfit following us through the wormhole...
...because our only hope of defeating him was found in your time.
No apologies necessary, Kamandi.
The Portal of Justice is always open to you and Dr. Canus.
Now, what do we need to stop him?
The fabled five-five modules, which power this mind-wave jamming device.
Never heard of them.
Guess we'll have to rely on old-fashioned fisticuffs and true grit.
Hi-ho, Kliklak, away.
Whoa.
If I can recruit some backup, perhaps we can turn the tide.
Brethren...
...I call upon you to aid in this battle.
Free yourselves of your shackles and take up arms.
You're no match for the mind of the Misfit.
Eureka! The five-five modules.
You mean a pack of double-A batteries.
Behold the awesome energy.
I beg you, my feathered friends.
Join us against our common foe. Rise up.
Never mind them, Dr. Canus. Coming at you.
Now, Misfit, feel the fury of Earth's mightiest weapon.
Misfit, your mental maelstrom is over.
Good work, Kamandi.
Whenever you need help, I'm only a wormhole away.
Thanks, Batman.
I'm sad to leave this paradise where man and animal live side by side.
These people should be ashamed of themselves.
Treating animals like humans.
Better get going, doc. Gotham has a leash law.
Another flawlessly executed heist.
Thanks to the superior intellect of me, Dr. Sivana.
And another 10 years behind bars, you fiendish physicist.
Bat Boob. Have a face full of science, you big lummox.
A smart man would have learned his lesson a long time ago, Sivana.
You're right, Batman.
If I were a smart man, I would have realized...
...I could never defeat you alone.
Yes, a smart man would have gotten help.
Oh, wait. I am a smart man. And I did.
Bat Boob, meet the Monster Society of Evil.
The vilest villains of Fawcett City united.
Together, we'll conquer the universe.
All right, boys. Tear him apart.
It's true what they say, Batman. There is strength in numbers.
Huh?
Blast! Whiz TV News.
Which means that cheese tray, the Marvel Family, will be here any second.
Hot dogs and lemonade? Are we celebrating something?
Just another picture-perfect day in Fawcett City.
Extra, extra. Read all about it.
Marvel Family meets for eats.
What you got there, Freddy?
It's a hard-hitting exposé I've been working on...
...about a lonely orphan given superpowers...
...and reunited with his long-lost sister...
...who's also given superpowers.
And together, they team up to save a newsboy...
...by giving him superpowers.
Gosh, sounds too good to be true. I can't wait to read it.
Uh-oh, breaking news.
Holy moly. Our greatest foes have joined forces.
Looks like it's time for the magic words.
And I don't mean "please" or "thank you."
Shazam! - Captain Marvel!
Your fiendish fellowship will never last, Sivana.
And pray tell, why is that, Bat Boob?
Because everyone knows villains like you...
...don't play well with others.
Let the Marvel Family show you how it's done.
Well, if it isn't the Big Red Cheese and his two gorgonzolas.
Turn them into Swiss.
Ready to surrender, Sivana?
You overgrown do-gooders have the minds of children...
...which is exactly what you'll be...
...when you feel the burn of my age-reversing youth ray.
Prepare to be unborn again. Ha-ha.
- It's over, Sivana. - No, this is only the beginning, Marvels.
Ha!
Are you okay, Batman?
I don't know. L...
I feel weird.
Holy moly.
Idiots. I design a giant death ray that will bring Fawcett City to its knees...
...and all I ask in return is for you to steal a few measly parts.
But apparently, that's too much to expect from this confederacy of dunce caps.
What good is a Monster Society of Evil if I have to do everything?
We were just following your orders. Enough.
I believe the problem is not with the society itself...
...but with its leadership.
I possess the most brilliant mind on Earth.
You have the audacity to think you could do better?
I know I could do better.
In fact, I could increase the power of your poorly designed death ray...
...by 100-fold with ease.
Pfft. Even if you could, you'd never be able to defeat the Marvels.
But that's why they must defeat themselves.
Of course, with a little persuasion from my powers of thought control.
Maybe it's time to look into new leadership.
All in favor? Aye.
- All opposed? - Nay.
Then it's settled.
A wise decision, for Fawcett City has never faced a more powerful foe...
...than Mr. Mind.
I've battled criminal scum, homicidal maniacs and alien despots.
But no one's ever done anything as horrible as this to me before.
Don't worry, Batman. We'll figure out a way to stop the de-aging process.
De-aging process? I'm talking about this.
Regardless, we must stop the Monster Society of Evil...
...before I get any younger.
After our last encounter, they escaped with a lens made to detect dark matter...
...by mimicking the gravitational force of a black hole.
Gosh, you sure know your science, Batman.
Aw, shucks, Mary.
Ahem. They've since stolen the following components from these locations.
Doesn't take the wisdom of Solomon to see they're building some weapon.
- And they have everything they need. - Except a power source.
Yes, there's only one possible power source for a design of this scale:
The Fawcett City Super Collider.
To the Batmobile. Last one there is a rotten egg.
A fusion chamber?
I fail to see how these new parts we're stealing...
...are going to help our death ray, Mr. Mind.
I wouldn't expect a simpleton like you to perceive the genius of my plan.
So I suggest you leave the thinking to me.
Huh?
And how does that big brain of yours think we should deal with them, hm?
Just keep them busy. I'll take care of the rest.
We're done playing games, Sivana.
Tell us how to reverse the effects of that youth ray, or else.
Speaking of, where is Bat Boob?
It must be past his bedtime.
Recess is over, you mean old meanie.
You've just earned yourself five to 10 minutes of hard time...
...in the corner of the room.
Why, Bat Boob, you're half the man you used to be.
He may be small, but ours is a heroic bond that can't be broken.
Yeah. BFFs forever.
Except for her. She has cooties.
Hmph.
Mary, take the overgrown alligator.
Who died and left you in charge? You're not the boss of me.
Jeepers, Mary. I am the oldest.
Only in superhero form, not when we're kids.
Then I'm the oldest. By three whole seconds.
What is wrong with you guys?
What fun.
Their minds are like putty in my feelers.
Huh?
Gosh, I don't know what's gotten into her.
Come to think of it, she's right.
- You boss me around too. - Huh?
Just because when I change into a hero, I'm still a kid.
But guess what. I'm just as strong as you.
Huh?
You better stop acting like babies or I'm gonna tell.
Huh?
And now, the big cheese.
Huh?
So much for my family. You're all just a bunch of leeches.
You wouldn't even have powers if it wasn't for me.
I was better off alone.
That does it, you big, bad, bossy brother.
Guys, stop fighting. I mean it.
Huh?
It appears I've done something your puny brain couldn't conceive of:
Defeat the Marvels.
Stop! You're destroying the city.
I gotta turn them back into kids. Ah! Of course.
Hey, Captain Marvel Jr.
It's "Marvel." "Captain Marvel." Huh?
There. Now tell me what's the matter with you guys.
Holy moly. I didn't know you all felt that way about me.
You said some very hurtful things too, Billy.
But I thought we were family.
I'm not even related.
Just some guy you let hang around because you feel sorry for him.
Then maybe it's best if we just go our separate ways.
Hey, guys, where you going?
We gotta stop Dr. Sivana and the Monster Society.
Guys!
The familial bond has been temporarily severed...
...but with careful psychological coercion...
...I just might be able to catalyze the reconciliation process.
The death ray is almost complete.
And now for the finishing touches.
You must admit, Sivana...
...Mr. Mind's interpretation of the death ray...
...is far more impressive than your original design.
Of course a dim bulb like you would be lured in...
...by fancy bells and whistles, but will it work?
There's only one way to find out.
What is the meaning of this?
Just a test. Of course, if your death ray works...
...you won't be alive to relish the victory.
What's happening?
I may have misspoken earlier, Sivana...
...when I said it was the ray's power that would increase 100-fold.
Actually, it was mine.
In your ignorance, you failed to see this is no death ray but a growth ray.
And, of course, I counted on you to double-cross me...
...so I thought I'd double-cross you first.
I was right all along.
He is a terrible leader.
The worm, as they say, has turned.
You better stop or I'm gonna get you...
...you slimy old thing.
Ah, the once-mighty Batman.
I suggest you scurry home before you catch a spanking.
So you was behind it all along.
You squoze into the Marvels' brains and made them fight.
Bad caterpillar. Bad.
Yes. Well, as much as I hate to pull myself away...
...from this scintillating battle of wits...
...I do have a universe to conquer.
Unh. Not so fast, fish bait.
Captain Marvel?
Don't waste your effort. You're outmatched.
But two of us may even the odds. Make that three.
Thanks, Batman, for reuniting our family.
I lost a tooth. Wanna see?
Come on, Captain Marvel.
Time to squish that bad old worm with the hammers of justice.
Brilliance is not all my mind is capable of, Marvels.
You keep that bug busy...
...while I switch his grow ray to shrink him back down.
Aah!
And now, the city's last hope shall fall.
Not yet, Mind. You forgot one small thing.
Ew. I think your savior needs his diaper changed. Ha, ha.
No!
Foiled by a baby.
He saved the day. Too bad he couldn't save himself.
I think he's trying to tell us something.
Of course. The growth ray.
Why didn't we think of that?
Well done, Marvels. You should be proud of yourselves.
And proud to be a family again.
Hear, hear. Although I do miss the baby Batman.
You were so adorable.
Thanks, but I think...
... ahem, I prefer adulthood.
