So Cartoon Network is showing the episode of New Scooby-Doo Movies (that's the series with the improbable guest stars, including Abbot and Costello, the Addams Family, and Cass Elliot of the Mamas and the Papas) wherein Scooby and the gang meet Batman and Robin.

(Yes, "Robin" was voiced by Casey Kasem for this cartoon, so if that squicks you, just don't think about it. Imagine it was Burt Ward, or Loren Lester, or, hell, me.)

One of the other colourful characters in the episode was a little old lady named Mrs Baker. Batman, Robin and the gang encounter her several times. Like everyone else in Scooby-Doo-verse, Mrs Baker has only one outfit of clothing: a light-purple dress and a hooded purple cape she wears over it, almost always with the hood up. At the end of the episode, just before being unmasked (and watch me refrain from spoiling a twenty-year-old episode of Scooby Doo), one of the bad guys is wearing this same purple-hooded-cloak-over-more-purple-clothing outfit and has a black stocking head mask on as well.

Yes, I think you see where I'm going.

The little old lady's outfit looks rather like our modern Stephanie Brown's Spoiler costume.

There's even a moment early on in the episode where Mrs Baker and Robin, who are of a height, are standing next to one another, talking. It's a prolonged moment and ideal for taking a screenshot, if I can get my hands on a DVD (or torrented) copy of this episode and put it in a computer that can play it.

There are also many, many scenes showing off Robin's bare legs, and if the little green panties were ever visible I somehow missed it. Most of the time it looks as if he simply isn't wearing any pants and Batman's just too polite to mention it. (He was raised by Alfred, after all.)

Bat-cookies and milk are consumed in the Batcave at one point, but sadly Alfred himself does not make an appearance.

Cripes. The Toys R' Us at my mall is going out of business, and I saw that video on the shelf while I was looking for deals, and I ALMOST bought it. I'll have to go back and see if it's still there. *G*

Ooh, ooh! That would be very cool if you could get it indeed.

I don't think my chances are very good-- omg the chaos of a Toys R Us going out of business the week before Christmas is *horrific* -- but I will definitely look.

Dive! Dive! Sacrifice yourself! You owe it to fandom! (because you've never, ever, ever [and I include the Bruce/Clark kiss manip in this] done anything for fandom okay, hit me now)

I have nephews that turned 22 months and 4 months old on Christmas Day. I am no longer allowed into Toys R Us as per court order.
