Batman '66: Riddle Me Love (Season 01, Episode 01)

Alfred and Aunt Harriet

In the confines of Wayne Manor, Alfred and Aunt Harriet huddle before the television screen, a palpable dread casting its shadow over their faces as they bear witness to the unfolding live telecast.

"Oh, Alfred dear!" Aunt Harriet's voice rings out, a mixture of hope and desperation coloring her tone. "One can only pray that the dynamic duo of Batman and Robin will swoop in and rescue the day," she exclaims, her words laced with a fervent plea for salvation.

Alfred's gaze shifts towards the corridors leading to Bruce's den, a knowing glance that carries the weight of anticipation. He senses, with a heavy heart, the distinct absence of the echoing ring from the Batphone, its silent plea echoing in vain, as no one remains to heed its urgent call.

Alfred responds, his tone tinged with a mixture of concern and resignation. "Should the speculations hold any merit, my fear is that the Dynamic Duo might be indisposed, far from the city." Stricken by a sense of helplessness, Alfred pushes himself to leave the room momentarily, his departure under the facade of a bid to regain his composure in the face of this dire hour of need for his employers.

Alfred steps into Bruce's den, his eyes zeroing in on the Batphone as its crimson glow demands attention. "Commissioner," he conveys with a touch of regret, lifting the handset from its cradle. His words resonate through the line with a steadiness that conceals an undercurrent of concern. "I regret to inform you that Batman and Robin remain preoccupied. It seems we must seek an alternative strategy to confront this situation."

"Heavens," Commissioner Gordon's voice crackles through the line, a symphony of worry woven into his words. "My apprehensions realized. Given this circumstance, what alternatives do you believe we should consider?"

Alfred's thoughts dance in a momentary pause, a silent exchange between possibilities. Then, his response emerges with a measured certainty. "Batgirl," he affirms, his voice holding a glimmer of optimism within its cadence. "It seems she might be the beacon of hope we're seeking, the singular avenue that remains in this grave time of need."
