Batman Cast

Holy High-Flyers! The Puzzler has strapped Batman and Robin into the basket of a hot-air balloon rigged to send them plummeting to their doom when it reaches 20,000 feet. But the Caped Crusader gums-up the balloon's altimeter with some chewing gum dropped by one of the Puzzler's henchmen, and then Robin uses his talent for bird-calling to attract a giant Red-Eyed Hermit Nuthatch migrating south for the winter, infuriating the bird into pecking a hole in the balloon and allowing the Dynamic Duo to return to Earth safely. Batman and his trusty chum then head for the Puzzler's factory, but the cryptic crook entangles them in a deflated balloon and makes his escape. The Puzzler then sends his moll, Rocket, to drug Knab's tea while he photographs the top-secret plans for the multi-billionaire’s news supersonic plane, the Retsoor…
