Bat Minute Returns - Minute 76: Justice Beleaguered (with Lal Gall)

Selina speeds and changes outfit at the same time - what a talent! I wish I could do the same, damn it. Batman preps in similar fashion. Little do both parties know, but they're heading into the same fight! LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!

Bat Minute Returns - Minute 72: The Dating Wayne (with Mark Ybarra & Nathan Parnes)

This passionate couple unleash their desires by... having a lovely fireside chat. How civilised. Is Bruce about to reveal that he's some kind of serial cheat or something?

Bat Minute Returns - Minute 66: The Best Laid Plans of Cats and Penguins (with Neil Brown and George Hendricks)

Atomic bombs? No! HYDROGEN, BABY! We're talking heavy duty this Friday, Bat Minute Mites.

Bat Minute Returns - Minute 64: Mr Penguin's Pervings (with Neil Brown and George Hendricks)

Things start and end in rather perverse fashion in this minute, folks. We can only apologise on behalf of Mr Cobblepot and Ms Kyle. This is meant to be PG, damn it! Won't somebody think of McDonald's?!? Groupies are harassed and cats are on display today! Last season we had a couple of guest investigators known for their '80s knowledge. This year we're firmly into the '90s, so they can't possibly help us now, right? WRONG! They have joined us in this new decade with their latest project and New ...

Bat Minute Returns - Minute 57: Where There's a Whip There's a Way (with Dave Pallas)

This kitty is on the prowl! Catwoman unleashes her fury towards Shreck, the city and the concept of weak women. Pretty deep for a scene about smashing stuff up, right?
