Batman' 66 meets Wonder Woman '77: the Lost Scenes
Note: this story is set in the Batman '66/Wonder '77 television universe and is following the continuity of the comic crossover of the same name. Although the writers set the 60's portion in 1966 and the 70's portion in 1977, I argue that it would have to been set later, given Catwoman staying on the island and holiday episodes and comic stories of Wonder Woman, along with other factors. This first part is set in 1969.
Catwoman watched the Batplane leave Themyscira, mixed with both feelings of glee and sorrow.
Well, the only man I ever loved is gone, but at least he won't be around to meddle with my schemes. The Feline Fatale thought.
"Catwoman," Wonder Woman said, "as a new guest to Paradise Island, I'd like to introduce you to my mother."
"Your mother?" Catwoman asked.
"Yes," Drusilla said, "You'll love her! Come on, let's go!" A short while later, they arrived in a palace on the other side of the island. Diana, Drusilla and Catwoman entered the royal chamber.
"Mother, I have someone I'd like you to meet," Diana said, "She's requested asylum here on the island and I've granted her wish, provided she abide by Amazonian laws and customs."
"Are they gone?" the Queen asked, her figure shrouded in shadow.
"Yes, Mother, the invaders have fled, though we caught the daughter of the Demon, and she's locked away in the dungeon. Batman and Robin have departed for Gotham City." Diana said.
"Excellent, my Queenly duties may now resume." Queen Hippolyta said, as she comes forward, dressed in purple robes and a golden tiara. "Welcome, sister! I am Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons! What is your name?"
"Selina," Catwoman said, "Selina Kyle, queen of cri—er, cats. Y'know, you remind me of an acquaintance of mine who is also a queen…of diamonds."
"Interesting," Hippolyta said, "Are you a worshipper of Hecate, then?"
"You could say that." Selina said.
"Catwoman- Selina – is a criminal from Gotham City," Diana said, "but she desires to stay here with hopes to reform and build a better life."
"We Amazons are all about second chances for all womankind, Selina. Make this island your home." Hippolyta said, "If you abide by our customs and treat everyone with respect, we, in turn, will do the same to you. But be warned: should you violate our laws in anyway, you shall share a cell with the invader's daughter!"
"Understood," Selina said, "Wait a minute, where were you when we arrived? I didn't think a queen deserted her people."
"I do nothing of the sort!" Hippolyta said.
"Mother simply doesn't trust men," Diana said.
"After the Nazis invaded, I couldn't take any more chances," Hippolyta said, "Crime fighters or not, men cannot be trusted. I retreated to my sanctum on the Eastern part of the island to contemplate and pray to the gods. Athena gave me wisdom, so I sent Drusilla out to help stop Ra's Al Ghul."
"And she didn't a pretty good job of it too, didn't you, Dru?" Diana said, turning to her little sister.
"Well, I would've done better, if he hadn't gotten away." Drusilla said.
"It's not your fault, child." Hippolyta said, "All men must reap the consequences of their actions, sooner or later. But now we must question Talia Al Ghul, and then we can start Selina on her training."
"Training?" Selina asked.
"Yes," Hippolyta replies, "We will teach you what it means to be a true Amazon warrior!"
"Mother," Diana whispered, "Shouldn't we wait until she is completely reformed? She could use her Amazon training against us."
"Nonsense, daughter," Hippolyta scoffed, "Man's world has infected you with cynicism. All women are our sisters and deserve a second chance and the benefit of the doubt."
"You have a point, Mother," Diana said, "But I'd be careful when questioning Talia, though. Back when I was Wonder Woman in America, I questioned a member of the League of Shadows with my lasso of truth and he disintegrated right before my eyes! I'm sure the daughter of the Demon's Head will not easily share secrets."
"Well, I believe we have someone to help us with that, don't we?" Hippolyta asked. "An old friend of yours."
A beautiful young blonde woman walked in.
"Fausta!" Diana exclaimed, "So nice to see you again, sister!"
"You as vell, Diana," Fausta said, in a German accent.
"Catwo—Selina," Diana said, "I'd like you to meet my friend, Fausta Grables."
"How do you do?" Catwoman asked, extending her hand and shaking hands with her. "I'm Selina Kyle."
"Nice to meet you." Fausta said.
"Fausta used to be an Olympic athlete who was duped into working for the Nazis during World War II." Wonder Woman said, "I saw the good inside of her, and offered her to come live here as an Amazon on Paradise Island."
"The best decision I've ever made!" Fausta said.
"I vaguely remembered reading about your exploits during the War," Catwoman said, "I never did pay much attention in history class though. You posed as a Nazi Wonder Woman, right?"
"That's right," Fausta said, "but thanks to Diana, I've turned over a new leaf, and so can you."
"Fausta's going to help us interrogate Talia." Diana said.
"Rena, Dalma!" Hipployta called.
"Yes, your majesty," the 2 Amazons replied as they came forward.
"Bring Talia Al Ghul to my throne room, but be careful." Hippolyta ordered.
"Yes, your majesty." they said.
A short while later, they bring Talia to the Queen's throne room in shackles.
"Talia Al Ghul," Hippolyta said, "We haven't had the pleasure. I am Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons. You and your father have violated sacred Amazonian law, and for that you must face justice."
"We need to know what your father's plans are." Wonder Woman said, brandishing her lasso of truth.
"Your magic lasso won't work on me, Princess." Talia scoffed, "Surely you must realize that by now, after your attempt to force the truth from my father's agents at Wayne Manor all those years ago. The League of Shadows will never expose itself, least of all the daughter of the Demon's Head!"
"Talia, I know you loved Bruce," Diana said, "Surely you don't want your father to harm him. Help us stop him."
"My father does what he must for the good of mankind," Talia said, "He plans to remake the Earth into a paradise, much like what you see around you on this island."
"How does he plan to do zis?" Fausta demanded, "Talk!"
"In order for Father to achieve his goal, much of humanity must be eliminated." Talia said.
"Where is your father now?" Diana asked.
"I will never betray the League of Shadows! Torture me all you wish, the location must remain secret!" Talia said.
"Ve haff ways of making you talk." Fausta said.
"Purr-haps I can purr-suade her," Catwoman said, "Talk! I'm going to keep scratching until you do!"
"Fausta! Catwoman! Enough!" Hippolyta shouted. "Guards, take her back to her cell!"
"My father will not be stopped!" Talia shouted.
I wonder how Batman is faring without me… Catwoman thought.
