Vicki Vale upstage lit by a single spot lit; news-esque music playing

Vicki:  Just when it seemed as if Batman has cleaned up Gotham for good, a  whole new wave of trash has filled the streets. Police are baffled at what they are referring to as a  “boom” in the supervillain population. The Condiment King, The Wizard and False Face; these  are just a few of the new shitty characters that have been crawling out of the woodwork for the  past few days. Though experts are concerned about any villain in particular, given that they are  all so shitty, some are worried that this new army of crime will overpower the Batman. Good luck Batman, this could be your darkest night yet.

Exit Vicki, lights up. Enter Eddie and Matches with plastic chickens.

Eddie: Finally! Out of the slammer and surgery! Time to resume our life of crime, ah yeah yeah  yeah!

Matches:  Only this time let’s not get caught by the Bat.

Eddie: Don’t worry, not even the Bat dares mess with our new boss… Egghead!

Enter Egghead

Egghead: Alright you turkeys, load the chickens into the trucks! Yeeaah, eggscellent! Let’s see what Gotham City does without a ready supply of eggs!
Eddie: Heh heh heh…

Bird noises.

Egghead: Hey, what the deviled was that?

Matches: It sounded just like a bwird!

Eddie: Yeah, ‘cause we’re standin’ by a truck filled with chickens, you chicken!

Matches: That wasn’t no cluckin’ chicken…sounded more like…

Enter Robin leaping into action equipped with his Bo staff.

Robin: CAW CAW!

"I do not act like that"

Matches: A giant robin!?

Enter Batman

Batman: Hah! We heard you were hacking a scheme, Egghead.

Robin: But we’ve cracked the case.

Batman: It’s over…

Robin: Over easy!

Egghead: SCRAMBLE!!

Robin and Batman knock Egghead, Matches and Eddie unconscious upstage. Batman and Robin look at each other with glee

"DICKIEBIRD IS GOING SING" Jason laughs

Batman: We're like long lost brothers
Who've found each other

Robin: And love each other like family.

Batman: Though we're not related

Robin: And it's totally belated

Batman: I'm elated just to say you are my bro.

Unconscious Ensemble upstage begin to snap along
