Batman schedule for June

[DarleneIllyria]

I will try and remember to do this each month. I would really like for each and every person that wants to record Batman to get each and every ep on tape. Tv is tricky. It could be there one minute and gone the next. I hope doing this will make it easier for those that want to start recording or those that only have a few more eps to go before getting a complete set.

First off, I would like to recommend the epguides.com Batman episode guide. Copy and paste the ep guide into Microsoft Word. MW has a highlight feature and you can highlight the eps you record. You could always print out the file and highlight the old fashioned way. Doesn't matter.

Each month I'll post up a schedule. Ah, I see TVL does schedules the complicated way. They only have the schedule up to the 15th. Well, I'll just edit this post once the schedule gets updated. Anyway, when one month ends, I'll close and lock this thread so it won't get bumped back to the top. I'll start up July's schedule and stick it.




Jun 3 2003 4:30AM 061 - The Penguin's Nest Part 1 At his super-exclusive restaurant, The Penguin's Nest, Penguin requires all the patrons to handwrite their own orders. He then plans to return to prison and give these writing samples to his forger cohort Ballpoint Baxter, so the two can extort money from the unsuspecting millionaires. But the scheme runs "a-fowl" when he is sent to the city jail instead of the state prison! While Batman and Robin finally figure out Penguin's plot, the villain's gang spring him from the jail and stuff Chief O'Hara into a trunk. Penguin plans to drop the trunk into the water, spray the Caped Crusader and Boy Wonder with machine gun fire, and then throw a switch, electrifying the pool!


Jun 4 2003 4:30AM 062 - The Bird's Last Jest Part 2 Ducking behind their Batshields to avoid the machine gun fire, Batman and Robin toss a reverse polarit wire over Penguin 's circuit, causing the trunk containing O'Hara to fly out of the water and land poolside. Arresting Penguin and his crew, Batman and Robin prosecute at the trial. But Penguin's eloquent defense backfires and he is once again released. The Peerless Pair's next ploy is to dispatch trusty Alfred to The Penguin's Nest posing as Quill-Pen Quertch, the most brilliant forger ever. But Penguin catches on to Alfred's masquerade, and he has the unfortunate butler rolled into a gigantic pie. Then, with his Crusty Crew, Penguin arrives at Wayne Manor and threatens to cook the pastry, with Alfred inside, unless Wayne can cough up $1,000,000. Dashing out to act the money, Bruce and Dick return as Batman and Robin subdue the Nefarious Nasties: Zonk! zap! Zowie! When the Rascally Restaurateurs are finally sent to the State Prison, Penguin suffers his final disappointment he finds that Ballpoint Baxter has just been paroled.

Jun 5 2003 4:30AM 063 - The Cat's Meow Part 1 Fiendish feline Catwoman plots to steal the voices of Brit-pop sensations Chad and Jeremy with the tricky Voice-Eraser she made in prison. Catwoman calls Gordon and steals his voice. Masquerading as dance teacher Edna Klutz, Catwoman visits young Dick at Wayne Manor, but is forced to escape when she sneezes her disguise apart. Batman and Robin then rush to the dance studio where they find Catwoman and her crusty crew, who scratch Catamin into their handsome faces. Then the Peerless Pair are locked into a giant echo chamber where the dripping of a faucet is magnified ten million times, threatening to reduce their minds to oatmeal.

Jun 6 2003 4:30AM 064 - The Bat's Kow Tow Part 2 Batman hums the chamber's F sharp above high C sympathetic vibration, thus blasting the room apart for his and Robin's escape. Then they rush to the Policeman's Ball where Chad and Jeremy are singing. Catwoman is already there and steals their voices in the middle of a song. Later, while Batman and Robin visit the Allan Stevens Show, Catwoman bounds in to announce her ransom demand:$22,400,000 for the return of Chad and Jeremy's voices. Even the British Consul, Sir Sterling Habits, has no answer. Catwoman further threatens to de-voice everybody unless she is paid by noon the next day. Batman traces a call she makes to Mr. Oceanbring's hair salon. Batman and Robin dig right out and surprise Catwoman, Eenie, Meanie, Miney and Moe in their lair. The yeggs batter the Dynamic Duo with hair spray and rollers, but the Duo finally get the upper hand. Catwoman runs out, and Batman chases her into an alley where she gets the drop on him with her sonic gun.Batman confiscates her sonic gun and her Voice-Eraser. She tells him what antidote to use on those who have lost their voices. Robin crashes onto the scene to herald the arrival of the cops.

Jun 7 2003 4:30AM 065 - The Puzzles Are Coming Part 1 The perfidious Puzzler sends a baffling backward puzzle clue on a toy plane through Commissioner Gordon's window. Batman and Robin deduce that it refers to Artemus Knab (Bank spelled back-wards), a multi-billionaire staying at the Gotham Arms. The Dynamic Duo Batclimb to Knab's penthouse only to be rebuffed by the tycoon who claims to be working on a legitimate money-making deal with Puzzler. Back at the Batcave, the Peerless Pair study a publicity balloon given to Robin by Puzzler at Knab's. There is a message on it that leads them to Knab's Gotham Airport christening of his supersonic plane, the Retsoor. Puzzler and his gang, Blimpy, Ramjet, Glider and shapely Rocket, have demobilized the guests with gas-filled balloons and now strip everyone of their jewels. The Dynamic Duo are also zonked by Puzzle Gas. Upon recovering, Batman and Robin return to the Batcave to study another balloon puzzle left for them by the villain. A message inside the balloon leads them to Puzzler's balloon factory hideout.The Puzzler sends the Duo aloft in an aerial balloon, the basket of which is rigged to drop at 20,000 feet.

Jun 10 2003 4:30AM 066 - The Duo Is Slumming Part 2 Robin manages to jam the altimeter with a stale piece of gum while employing his bird-calling talents to entice a nearby bird to peck a small hole in the balloon, thus allowing it to float easily back to Earth. The Duo then rush back to Puzzler's balloon factory, only to have the wily crooks elude them. Batman deciphers the last remaining Puzzle clue and deduces that Puzzler's real loot is the Retsoor.

Jun 11 2003 4:30AM 067 - The Sandman Cometh Part 1 Commissioner Gordon is tipped off by an undercover cop that Catwoman and Sandman are planning criminal mischief. Gordon immediately calls Batman and Robin back from a camping trip to investigate. When a commercial advertises a cure for insomnia, Batman figures correctly that it is part of a villainous plot. Proceeding to the house of a local billionaire who hasn't slept in seven years, the dynamic duo find Sandman masquerading as the sleep therapist from the commercial, Dr. Somnambula. However, since none of her valuables are missing, Sandman is able to slip out. Heading to the Morpheus Mattress factory, Batman is captured and tied beneath a button-stitching device, while Robin is put in a sleep trance and instructed to activate the machine.

Jun 12 2003 4:30AM 068 - The Catwoman Goeth Part 2 Robin is placed in the inescapable catmaze, as Batman narrowly escapes a piercing death below a button machine. Meanwhile, Sandman sneaks over to billionairess J. Pauline Spaghetti's house. Batman escapes and learns from Commissioner Gordon that Sandman and J. Pauline have just withdrawn $200,000,000 from her bank account and eloped to her private island. Upon hearing of the doublecross, Catwoman releases Robin from the maze. The dynamic duo hop in the Batboat and head to the island, saving Ms. Spaghetti's fortune and sending Sandman to jail.

Jun 13 2003 4:30AM 069 - The Contaminated Cowl Part 1 While Bruce Wayne awards Professor Overbeck a subsidy to continue his fine work at Gotham City's, Atomic Energy Laboratory, Jervis Tetch, otherwise known as Mad Hatter, and his two principal stooges, Benny and Skimmer, steal 700 hat boxes from Bonbon's Box Boutique. Batman and Robin are on the job and figure, through their Batcomputer, that Jarvis will hit next at the posh Headdress Ball that evening at the Top Hat Room. Sure enough, as Batman and Robin Batclimb in, Jervis, posing as the Three- Tailed Pasha of Panchagorum, swipes Hattie Hatfield's priceless ruby. Batman and Robin attack, but Jervis escapes amidst a fireworks diversion. Also, on his way out, he sprays Batman with radioactive fumes. Though Batman has protected himself by taking an Anti-Radio-Active Batpili, his cowl is contaminated. And when he and Robin visit Bruce Wayne's friend, Professor Overbeck, at the Atomic Energy Lab to get the cowl decontaminated, Jervis posing as Overbeck's assistant, Otto Pufendorfer, steals the cowl while Batman changes into a fresh outfit. Mad Hatter's men get the upper hand and lock the Dynamic Duo into a Fluoroscopic Cabinet where high-voltage X-rays will irradiate them forever.

Jun 14 2003 4:30AM 070 - The Mad Hatter Runs Afoul Part2 After Mad Hatter leaves, Overbeck replaces Batman and Robin in the Fluoroscopic Cabinet with a couple of skeletons from his own closet, and Batman and Robin, who have survived with their Bat-X-Ray Deflectors, watch as Jervis returns to marvel at his own handiwork, thinking the skeletons in the X-ray device are the Dynamic Duo. Then as Batman and Robin wait for Jervis' next move, Maudie, the cleaning lady, spots the cowled skeletons and gives the alarm: Batman and Robin are dead. The whole world goes into mourning. Mad Hatter chooses this time to substitute Hattie Hatfield's fake ruby for the really priceless ruby in the forehead of the Golden Buddha of Bergama, on display at the Gotham Art Center. Batman and Robin, who have returned to action, trace the homing signal from the stolen cowl's transmitter to the water tower behind the Green Derby where Jervis has stowed it. The Peerless Pair find Jervis and his omen hiding on the water tower and they go to get them. During the battle, Chief O'Hara arrives with cops to take Mad Hatter and his men in tow, and Batman and Robin go to meet the throng of celebrating multitudes who have just learned that the Caped Crusader and Boy Wonder are still alive.

Jun 15 2003 4:30AM 071 - The Zodiac Crimes Part 1 When Joker steals the Police Department's new Rare Art Map from Commissioner Gordon's office, Batman and Robin are alerted that the fiend plans twelve crimes corresponding to the signs of the Zodiac. But what the Peerless Pair don't know is that Penguin has joined forces with Joker. And their first caper is to divert Batman and Robin to a rehearsal of the Twins (Gemini), and one of his Satellites, Mercury, in disguise. The Joker steals the real twins, the fabulous Twin Diamonds from the Jewelry Shop. By analyzing the wig Venus left at the rehearsal, Batman and Robin are led to Harry's Hair Lair and then to Joker's hideout. Smitten by the Caped Crusader, Venus leads the Duo to the opera house where Joker kidnaps Leo Crustash (both Leo and Scorpio) from the stage in the middle of a performance. When they try to interfere with Joker's next caper, the heist of the museum's masterpiece entitled "Virgin Bereaved" (Virgo), Joker and his men tie the Dynamic Duo to an altar in the museum underneath a meteorite rigged to fall on them when its supporting cable is cut by a revolving thermite fuse.

Okay, here's some more of the schedule

Batman and Robin finally free themselves to loin the chase. But Venus has already lifted the famous Golden Scorpion (Scorpio) from the Jewelry Shop, and Joker moves to kidnap millionaire Basil Bowman (Sagittarius). When Batman and Robin bound in, Joker uses Venus as a shield to escape. Now she's on Batman's side for keeps and takes them to Leo Crushtash who is being held in a record store listening booth. But when Joker nets a priceless fish (Pisces) from the International Zoologists' Society exhibition at the park fountain, he also nets the Dynamic Duo and Venus. At the criminals' lair, Batman, Robin and Venus are left chained in a shallow pool to be devoured by a giant clam.


Jun 17 2003 4:30AM 073 - The Penguin Declines Part 3 Batman uses superhuman strength to burst his bonds and pull Robin from the clam's jaws. Joker's men have helped Penguin escape from prison, and now he helps Joker in his last two capers. Joker turns the entire Gotham City water supply (Aquarius) into Joker-Jello and then asks $10,000,000 to de- gelatinize it. Meanwhile, Penguin visits Venus at Bruce Wayne's apartment to sweet-talk her into getting his criminal record out of the Batfile for him. When Batman and Robin return from master-fully de-gelatinizing the reservoir themselves, they stop off to see how Venus is doing. She coaxes them into taking her to the Batcave, which they do in payment for her help in fighting Joker. But Penguin and Joker have hidden in the Batmobile's trunk and spring out at the Caped Crusader's lair, hoping to make Batman the goat (Capricorn). No good Batman knew they were there all the time, and he and his chum easily cuff the two Nefarious Noodniks.


Jun 18 2003 4:30AM 074 - That Darn Catwoman Part 1 After delivering a stirring speech at Aaron Burr High School graduation, Robin is waylaid by *****-cat, who works for Catwoman. Pussycat scratches cataphrenic into the Boy Wonder's neck, and he becomes Catwoman's pawn, knocking down Chief O'Hara and joining Pussycat, Spade, Marlow and Templar to work for the forces of evil. Catwoman's first caper is to raid Wayne Manor. With Robin's help the gang robs $200,000 house money. Catwoman phones Batman through Gordon to explain that if the law interferes she'll kill Robin. The gang then robs the Ninth National Bank. . While Catwoman and Robin rifle the cash-filled mattress of inventor Pat Pending, Batman figures Catwoman will next hit Prince lbn Kereb of Gedalias weighing in ceremony (whereby the Prince equals his weight in greenbacks). Batman beats his way through Marlow, Spade and Templar only to be defeated himself by Robin. As the gang takes off with the loot, Batman follows them to Catlair West, where, he is captured and trussed up in a terrible trap that will spring as soon as Robin finishes sawing the rope.

Jun 19 2003 4:30AM 075 - Scat! Darn Catwoman Part 2 Catwoman offers to free Batman if he joins her. He agrees but secretly takes a Universal Batantidote before Catwoman uses cataphrenic.

He sprays her with Batsleep and they drive to his hideout, leaving a note for Alfred to take Batantidote to Robin at Police Headquarters. Catwoman and Batman meet Spade, Templar and Marlow at the Mint; they break in through a hidden entrance. Silently blasting their way into the vault, the gang is confronted by Robin. The Dynamic Duo, makes mincemeat of the gang, but Catwoman escapes in the Batmobile. Racing after her in O'Hara's squad car, the Caped Crusader and Boy Wonder remote control the Batmobile to stop at the New Guernsey bridge.

While on shooting location at the Museum of Antiquities, Pengy's gang steals an entire collection of fifteenth-century armor. Marsha goes hunting old toads with her witchly Aunt Hilda for a potion for Penguin's plot. When Batman learns of the stolen armor, Penguin immediately shoots scene in which the Dynamic Duo are beaten and captured for real. Then, the Peerless Pair are tied to a huge double catapult, to be launched over Gotham City like a pair of squashed tomatoes.


Jun 21 2003 4:30AM 077 - Penguin Sets A Trend Part 2 Batman remote controls the Batmobile to catch them when they are catapulted. Then, feeling he must stick close to Penguin, he and Robin rejoin the film company. Penguin dresses them in armor and clanks them onto two huge electro-magnets. The villain marches off with his own fifteenth- century armored division to visit star-struck General Magruder at the Hexagon and to steal some obscure military plans. Batman throws a piece of metal into an open light socket, and shorts out the fuse and the electro-magnet. Still armored, the Dynamic Duo chase Penguin to an alley where they are caught in a barrage of garbage cans. Penguin pays a garbage truck driver to take them away with his other scrap to be mashed in a high-pressure hydraulic scrap-metal crusher.


Jun 22 2003 4:30AM 078 - Penguin's Disastrous End Part 3 But Batman and Robin counter the hydraulic pressure of the crusher with the Batpumps.

Batman and Robin trace Hilda's runaway lizards through the sewers to her cave where the Henchman guarding the armor inadvertently reveals Penguins activities. Batman, Robin, Chief O'Hara, Gordon and lots of cops arrive at the Sub-Treasury just as Penguin, and company lock themselves into the vault. Through an outside wall, the gang emerges. In a final effort to stop Penguin, O'Hara drives his car into the tank. The tank crushes the car, but O'Hara is found alive in a manhole beneath it.

The presentation of a golden calf filled with $200,000 is interrupted by a pall of green smoke and the arrival of three firemen who snatch the calf and escape. One of them is Riddler! The Dynamic Duo deduce that Riddler will next strike at a Sons of Balboa Banquet but when they call Gordon, he says that the underground vault of the Gotham City Bank is flooded. The Duo rush in and tangle with Riddler and his gang. Riddler escapes and returns to the Factory to dry out the stolen money and to meet Professor Avery Evans Charm, the inventor of a terrifying destructive pen-sized De-Molecularizer, which he will sell to Riddler for three million. Meanwhile the Dynamic Duo keep an appointment at the Bakers Guild to pose for the sculptured marshmallow figures which will top the anniversary cake. Riddler and his gang, disguised as bakers, lift Batman and Robin to the top of the three-story high cake on a cherry-picker, then chortle as they step off onto the icing which is really quicksand.

Okay, I see they have the rest of June posted and a little bit of July posted. After I post this, I'll close the thread so it won't get bumped back up to the top. I hope it will still be a sticky, even after I lock it. Guess I have to try it out to see. Won't know until I see. Anyway,

Jun 24 2003 4:30AM 080 - A Riddling Controversy Part 2 Recalling the similarity of water and quicksand, Batman and Robin remain motionless, then set off Heel and Toe Batrockets which zoom them out of the trap. The Duo race to the penthouse of a wealthy exiled South American dictator where Riddler is robbing the safe. They are powerless when Riddler shows them the dictator, trapped in a puzzle cage with explosives at his feet. Robin finds the key to the puzzle and Batman opens the box to find a paper donkey's tail. Riddler exhibits the destructive powers of his new Dc- Molecularizer on a park statue and unless Gotham City's criminal statues are rescinded, Police Headquarters is his next target. Solving the final riddle, Batman and Robin load sacks of di-chloride aboard the Batcopter and head for the Factory. Riddler is sure of success because he planted the weapon, and its automatic trigger set, in Gordon's office. A bolt of lightning strikes Police Headquarters, but the building remains intact. The police arrive to take the criminals into custody. The Professor voluntarily returns the money, and is promised membership in the Science Institute when he has paid his debt to society.

Jun 25 2003 4:30AM 081 - The Joker's Last Laugh Part 1 When Gotham becomes plagued by counterfeit bills, Commissioner Gordon calls in the caped crusader.

But, before the Joker can learn the location of the cave, Batman senses he is being followed and leads Joker to a false, miniature batcave. While the Joker fumes, Batman traces the robot's origin back to a comic book printing press. As Bruce Wayne, Batman asks the Joker to print more fake money to help him out of financial trouble, promising to make him vice president of the bank in exchange. Robin leaps through the window to capture Joker and is pinned onto a printer, about to be pressed into a comic book.


Jun 26 2003 4:30AM 082 - The Joker's Epitaph Part 2 Alfred arrives just in time to save our heroes from disaster, but the Joker escapes with a certificate from Wayne naming him as vice president of the bank. Commissioner Gordon asks Batman to nab Bruce Wayne for handing control of the bank over to the Joker. Joker shows up at Wayne Manor with a tape of Bruce asking Joker to print more counterfeit money. He says that he will reveal the tape to the public unless Wayne kills Batman and Robin. When he refuses, Joker orders him to marry his moll Josie, with the initial marriage settlement to be $3,000,000. Meanwhile, Gordon has called in a German medical expert to have Bruce Wayne institutionalized. Joker is arrested for aiding and abetting attempted bigamy and Bruce Wayne is declared competent once again.


Jun 27 2003 4:30AM 083 - Catwoman Goes To College Part 1 Catwoman is paroled into the care of Bruce Wayne. She registers as a criminology major at G.C.U., but it's apparent that her fiendish follies are far from over. Catwoman incites a student riot and Batman is falsely arrested, but escapes disguised as Alfred. Catwoman, meanwhile, is working on her plot to steal the Patagonian Cat's Eye Opals. She lures Batman and Robin to the top of a tall building. Bound hand and foot, the Dynamic Duo are tossed into a giant coffee cup which is part of an advertising sign. Two large instant sulfuric acid cubes are dumped into the pot perched above them, and the giant percolator is poised to pour into the cup its deadly liquid.


Jun 28 2003 4:30AM 084 - Batman Displays His Knowledge Part 2 Batman uses the sulfuric acid to burn through his ropes and hurls the Batarang at the master switch.

But Freddy, who runs a Fencing School, refuses to handle the unlucky stones. Catwoman is unable to sell the opals; she welcomes Freddy's suggestion to turn the opals in for the reward money. She sends a message to Batman, inviting him to meet her alone at the model house at the Sherlock Homes Real Estate development at midnight. Catwoman prepares for their meeting a poisonous perfume, but when Batman arrives, he avoids being overcome by wearing his Batplugs in his nose. Catwoman and her henchmen outnumber Batman until Robin arrives to help subdue the villains.


Jun 29 2003 4:30AM 085 - A Piece Of The Action Part 1 Black Beauty stops at the Pick Chip Stamps factory, and Green Hornet and Kato stealthily enter and are confronted by the foreman, Col. Gumm and his assistants, Reprint, Block and Cancelled, who want the trespassers out. Although he has the upper hand, Green Hornet leaves. The following morning, Gumm, faces the owner, Pinky Pinkston. Bruce Wayne then gets a call from Gordon, telling him Green Hornet is in town. As Batman and Robin race to Gordon's office, Britt Reid is calling Pinky, who invites him to lunch with her and Bruce. Batman tells Gordon he suspects Pinky's factory is turning out fake stamps. That night, Green Hornet and Kato enter the factory and are taken by Gumm and his men while Batman and Robin enter through a window. The Caped Crusaders attempt to rescue the Green Hornet but, stuck to a glue table, they are forced to watch the Green Hornet and Kato being fed to the Enlarged Perforation and Coiling Machine to become man-sized stamps.


Jun 30 2003 4:30AM 086 - Batman's Satisfaction Part 2 As they are unglued, the Caped Crusaders leap to and disconnect the electric plug. Batman loosens the outer casing of the machine until the Hornet can free himself and Kato, but Gumm has kidnapped Pinky. The Hornet and Kato leave to pick up Gumm's trail, but Batman finds Gumm's alphabet soup which he is sure contains a message from Pinky. The message mentions a warehouse and a warning about the Stamps Exhibition. Meanwhile, Gumm is telling Pinky that Bruce Wayne is Green Hornet and that Britt Reid is Batman. After Pinky's poodle chews her free, she tells Gordon and Chief O'Hara Cumin's guesses and they rush to the International Stamps Exhibition. Disguised, Gumm breaks up the affair by grabbing the stamps, and is escaping with his men when the Hornet and Kato, Batman and Robin arrive to flatten the villains.

Closing thread. Please go to the July schedule to see what will be playing for the month of July.
