Plot Summary[]
"Main Title"[]
The Joker, Penguin and Catwoman broke into Gotham Studios and staged a criminal convention for all the villains at Greene-Way Film Studios as part of their plan to kill Batman and Robin during a quiet no-crime day in Gotham City. While in Gotham State Penitentiary, Riddler sent two film reels of riddles to Gotham City Police Headquarters, leading Commissioner Gordon and Chief O'Hara to contact Batman and Robin to Gordon's office.
Arriving at police headquarters, Batman and Robin solved the riddles and learned where the villains are hiding, and head over to the studios where they were ambushed by the Terrible Trio, Signalman, Professor Milo, Deadshot, King Cobra and Catman in the green-screening room. After dealing with Fox, Vulture and Shark, Batman and Robin defeat Milo, Signalman, Cobra, Deadshot and Catman, but Penguin ordered all the other Bat-Villains to attack the Dynamic Duo.
After a very long Bat-fight, the villains appear to have the upper hand and dogpile on the heroes, but Batman reached for his utility belt, and activated the Batmobile by remote control, and sent it crashing through the studio door with its Bat-battering ram and it defeats the rest of the villains with its Bat-Beam. Just at that moment, Riddler arrived at the studio where he finds all the Bat-Villains defeated and Joker, Penguin and Catwoman gave Riddler a brief thrashing.
While trying to escape, Joker, Penguin and Catwoman were stopped by the arrival of Batgirl who defeated them. Just then, the police arrived to take all the Bat-Villains back into custody along with the press who came to take photos of Batman, Robin and Batgirl. As the three heroes stand before the reporters, the Bat-Signal shone in the night sky, calling Batman, Robin and Batgirl to a crime scene elsewhere in Gotham.
