210 EXT. GOTHAM STREET LEADING TO PLAZA——NIGHT 210
The vanguard penguin division stops. Gotham Plaza，
heavily populated， looms ahead. As one， the penguins
bend forward， angling their bazookas for maximum
destruction.
210A INT. BATCAVE - SAME TIME 210A
The last of the coordinates crackles over Alfred's
headset.
BATMAN （V.O.）
…… 28 degrees west. Shall we？
ALFRED
（punching buttons）
Let's dance. Sir.
The read-out reads： FREQUENCY JAMMED.

213 EXT. THE REGIMENT OF PENGUINS——NIGHT 213
The Penguins' headgear begins to whine and rattle.
The penguins simultaneously TURN and trot away from the
Plaza.
214 OMITTED 214
215 INT. THE LAIR——NIGHT 215
Penguin is glued to the screens， elated at a Gotter-
dammerung that's only seconds away.
PENGUIN
Ah， Gotham. You wouldn't put me
on a pedestal， so I'm laying you
on a slab！
Meantime the Fat Clown is frantically punching the
controls.
FAT CLOWN
Well， um…… funny thing， your
penguins…… they're not responding
to the launch command. Fact
they're kind of turned around
now…… Like someone jammed our
signal……
PENGUIN
But who could've …… no， don't say
it.
FAT CLOWN
My lips are sealed.
Penguin punches up the controls so the image of Batman
plowing through the sewers is spread out across the
screens in Cinerama.
PENGUIN
I'm starting…… just starting……
to lose my temper， now.
216 OMITTED 216
217 EXT. GOTHAM PARK - NIGHT 217
The Penguin army advances， en masse. The Old Zoo looms
in the distance.
218 INT. THE LAIR——NIGHT 218
Penguin grabs the nearest umbrella and jumps into his *
Rubber Duck. *
The Fat Clown rushes forward to join him but Penguin
heedlessly slams his vehicle into his former cohort ——
catapulting his huge carcass across the lair where it
lands with a definitive THUD in front of Max's cage.
Penguin steers his Duck for stairs —— then rides it
all the way up the stairs， and out of the lair.
Meantime Max reaches out and grabs a key off the Fat
Clown's key-ring， releasing himself. Then creeps out of
his cage. He pauses to swipe the gun from the Fat
Clown's holster and stashes it in his back pocket. Then
starts to dash off when a familiar cat 'o nine tails
SNAPS into FRAME， coils around his ankle and drags him
OFF-SCREEN.
218A INT. SEWER - NIGHT 218A
As Batman thunders up the pipe toward the lair， he hears
a BLEEP. The screen on his console shows a thermal
image —— SHAPED LIKE A DUCK —— heading for the surface.
Batman has just reaches a fork in the sewer pipes. At
the last second he spins the wheel， steering into the
pipe that angles UP.

220 EXT. ARCTIC WORLD——NIGHT 220
Penguin grandly plows around a corner with a victorious
laugh ——
Simultaneously the Bat-boat comes crashing through the
top of Arctic World ——
Penguin stops laughing as he looks up and sees the Bat-
boat in mid-air ——
It crash-lands on top of Penguin's Rubber Duck！
A beat of silence. Stillness. Batman， dazed， pops open
his cockpit and alights， looking for Penguin. For
Penguin's corpse perhaps …… pinned inside his Rubber
Duck …… when：
From out of frame， a shrill and frenzied Penguin springs
at Batman！ His legs wrapped around the Caped Crusader's
neck， the beast savagely gouges （with his umbrella-tip）
and pecks （with his beak）！ Snarling， as he attacks：
PENGUIN
I think you're jealous that I'm a
genuine freak， and you have to wear
a mask！
BATMAN
Maybe you're right.
Penguin jumps down， off Batman.
PENGUIN
But in the end all that counts， is：
Who's holding the umbrella？
He activates his umbrella —— a long blade protrudes.
In response， Batman pulls out HIS weapon： a palm-sized
multi-colored button （like the one that lit the Gotham
Plaza Christmas tree）。 A stand-off. But now， over
Batman's shoulder， Penguin sees：
Standing here —— what the hell are they doing HERE？ ——
his poker-faced Penguin commandos.
PENGUIN
My babies ……
Batman turns to look —— and Penguin lunges with his
umbrella-sword. Batman swipes at it， dropping his
button-weapon in the process.
Cackling， Penguin snatches it up. Aiming it at Batman，
he vengefully presses the button.
Suddenly an INSANE FAMILY OF BATS billows out of
breakaway panels in the Batboat and thunders straight at
the Penguin.
PENGUIN *
Ah， you brought your in-laws. I'm *
sure， once you get to know them —— *
He tries to swat them away with his umbrella， but the
bats besiege Penguin， biting and screeching as they send
him reeling back and down， shattering through the
observation window.
220A INT. THE LAIR - NIGHT 220A
Penguin spectacularly twirls down into his lair， bats
tearing at him all the way， until he splashes down into
the moat.
220B EXT. ARCTIC WORLD - NIGHT 220B
Batman， at the Observation window， looks down. Penguin
is submerged， but he can see the struggling Catwoman and
Max.
Simultaneously the Penguin Army —— headgear clacking，
back on schedule —— launches its payload.
Batman， standing between them and the old zoo， now looks
up at the magnificent trajectory of missiles overhead ……
221 EXT. ZOO GROUNDS——NIGHT 221
The grand panorama of rotten zoo cages and decayed Expo-
tecture is mightily laid to glorious waste in a symphony
of fireballs.

224 INT. THE LAIR——NIGHT 224
Flaming debris from the big bombs has devastated the *
floe， melting most of the ice， and blasting the odd chunk
out of the warmed-up water.
Revealed in her arousingly tattered costume， Catwoman
is dragging Max by his neck toward the Lair's ominously
buzzing electrical generator.
MAX
I don't know what you want， but I
know I can get it for you with a
minimum of fuss. Money， jewels， a
very big ball of string……
CATWOMAN
Your blood， Max.
MAX
My blood？ I …… I gave at the
office.
CATWOMAN
A half-pint. I'm talking gallons.
225 EXT. ARCTIC WORLD - NIGHT 225 *
Batman darts to the Observation window and looks down at *
the struggling Catwoman and Max below.
He hooks a grapple to the edge of the glass.
