This way.

that way might be good too.

- Get her out. Now.

196
00:15:50,533 --> 00:15:52,743
The Mad Hatter.
He manipulated my animals. He's-

197
00:15:52,952 --> 00:15:54,704
- We're way ahead of you.
- Where is he?

198
00:15:54,912 --> 00:15:56,789
I saw him head for the big top.

Good evening, Batman.
You'll excuse me if I don't tip my hat.

201
00:16:21,355 --> 00:16:24,275
- BATMAN: It's over, Hatter.
- And I was so close.

202
00:16:24,609 --> 00:16:26,611
- Close to what?
- Perfection.

203
00:16:26,944 --> 00:16:29,322
My mind control with
animals had progressed

204
00:16:29,489 --> 00:16:32,366
to where I could control
them from great distances.

205
00:16:32,742 --> 00:16:36,454
See what they saw.
Direct their every movement.

206

People, though,
that's another story.

207

I still need proximity.

- It's no use, Nightwing.

base, pedestrian form of violence.

Tim said he wanted to see
what circus life was like

so I arranged for him to spend
the rest of the week with Miranda.

- He's going to help train animals?
- Not exactly.

I still have the bears' cage.
