Batman

When last we saw our hooded hero, he was trapped in the lair of deadly shepherdess Little Bo Peep. Surely this time its curtains for the caped crusader! But wait! Who is this come to rescue him?

It's his friends in the Legion of Superchums (including Spiderman, a couple of Power Rangers and Zorro)! Hurrah! But wait! Bo Peep has escaped!

And what dastardly plan has she hatched? A bomb strapped to Batman's chest that must be defused or Gotham City will be blown sky high. "Superman, can you deactivate it with your laser vision?" "Er, hold on a minute there Batman, I'm not at all sure about that. Why don't I just step over here while you defuse the bomb."

"Phew, that was a close shave! Now what?"

"Well done, Dark Knight! And listen, because I have good news! Bo Peep has been captured by SuperFop!"

"SuperFop!?! Good man! Let us race to his secret crushed velvet hideaway and finally bring an end to her antics!"

"Tell me everything, SuperFop! Where is Bo Peep?"

"I'm sorry Batman! There was nothing I could do! She broke through my filigree force field, incapacitating my ward, Dirk (say hello, Dirk) and rendering me helpless with a piece of brocade (against which, as you know, I am powerless)! You're the only one who can stop her now, Batman!"

"Yes! Along with my good pal Spiderman!"

"Spidey, tell me again why we decided to reveal our secret identities to the world?"

"It was just too hot to wear a mask, Batman. Honestly, it must be twenty-five degrees out there and this nylon costume is just killing me!"

Batman looked on in dismay at the sea of pink tulle. Bo Peep was nowhere to be seen. And nor was there any sign of her deadly robotic sheep...

But suddenly, there she was! Tune in next week to see if the Caped Crusader will escape the clutches of the evil Bo Peep...
