Batman
The New Adventures of Batman is an animated series produced by Filmation in 1977 featuring the DC Comics superheroes Batman and Robin, and Batgirl. In The New Adventures of Batman, the "Dynamic Duo" fights crime in Gotham City, encountering the classic Batman rogues gallery as well as some original villains. Complicating matters is Bat-Mite, a well meaning imp from another dimension called Ergo, who considers himself Batman's biggest fan. As a result, he wears a variant of Batman’s costume and attempts to help him, only to often create more problems (although he is occasionally an asset). Missing is Alfred, the faithful butler of Batman's alter ego Bruce Wayne.
While the Joker is stealing an invention, Batman and Robin are bugged by Bat-Mite's will to help them.
A strange "Moonman" steals original moon samples to gain energy and take revenge on earthlings for conquering the earth's satellite. Bruce and Dick have a visit from an old friend who happens to be an astronaut giving conferences. However, the astronaut's strange behavior tickles the mind of Barbara Gordon, and as Batgirl, wants to know a bit more about this.
Catwoman dresses as Batgirl and steals an ecological trans mutator from Professor Norquist. Batman and Robin must find a way to prove the innocence of Batgirl.
A fat, unscrupulous criminal mastermind, Sweet Tooth, steals the main control for Gotham City's water supply, turns the water into chocolate syrup and wants a ransom. Batman and Robin must go through his candy traps to arrest him and his gang of sweet tooth kids.
Mad Professor Bubbles uses an underwater lab and a trained shark to steal ships that contains pieces for a machine known as "Operation Sunray". Batman, Robin, Bat-girl and Bat-Mite goes to this so-called "Bermuda Rectangle" to try to stop him and his henchmen.
Clayface and Catwoman are stealing the oil refineries around Gotham City. Batman, Robin, Batgirl and Bat-Mite try to put a stop into this grand theft.
Extraterrestrial foe Electro comes to Earth to reduce Batman and Robin to small size, then promises to bring them back to full size if they do a mission behind an Army forbidden zone.
The Penguin trains a bunch of young kids in a "villany school".
Batman and Robin face a shape-shifter with bad intentions.
The Joker escapes prison and vows revenge against Batman.
Mr. Freeze's henchman, Professor Frost, has invented a freezing ray. Freeze and Frost plan to use the ray to freeze Gotham City's Harbor, because they wish to steal a nuclear submarine. Batman and Robin locate Freeze's hideout, but Freeze traps both in blocks of ice. When Freeze leaves on his diabolical mission, he decides to take Robin (still frozen in a block of ice) along, just for kicks. Bat-Mite locates Freeze's hideout; soon, Batman is fully thawed and on the way back to the waterfront. Batman then attempts to save Robin and capture Mr. Freeze.
Clayface uses a circus acrobat who looks like Robin to kidnap an Middle Eastern oil baron, while himself morphed as Batman. The Dynamic Duo must prove their innocence with the help of Batgirl and Bat-Mite.
The Syndicate is about to elect a president. The Penguin challenges the Joker that he can turn Batman and Robin into villains, and win the favors of his fellow gangsters.
The Evil Zarbor, who comes from the same planet as Bat-Mite, wants to be its ruler. He asks the help of the Rogue Gallery of Villains (Joker, Penguin, Catwoman and Clayface) to capture the Dynamic Duo while he steals nuclear power plants to take back to his own world.
Batman and Robin goes to Zarbor's planet, where he started a rule of terror. For once, Bat-Mite tries to help his friends.
Zarbor escapes his cell and goes to Earth to seek revenge on Batman and Robin. As he turns them into brainwashed villains, Bat-Mite and Batgirl think of a plan to turn them back to normal and neutralize Zarbor once and for all.
