Batman and Catwoman are forced to work together to foil the Penguin, who is planning to use the power of Ra to fuel his evil schemes.
Tropes for this episode include:
- Chained Heat: After beating Catwoman and Batman, Penguin handcuffs them together and leaves with the key. Later, Batman slaps the same cuffs on Penguin and Catwoman.
- Death Ray: Penguin used the cat and bird idols to develop a powerful laser.
- Karma Houdini: Given that Penguin is the Butt-Monkey of the show, this is one of the few times in the show he avoids getting imprisoned.
- Mythology Gag: The episode's title, in addition to the Shout-Out to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, also references "The Bat, The Cat, and The Penguin" tagline used by Batman Returns.
- Out-Gambitted: Catwoman receives one by Penguin, who figured out that she intends to backstab him once they get the idols.
