Steven Kyle Smith And Batman solve the case of
the stolen robot With love from, Aunt Gayle and
Uncle Terry 2002 Steven Kyle Smith, age 7, looked out the taxicab
window. He
was very excited. All around him were the skyscrapers of Gotham City. Gotham was even bigger than he had imagined
back at home in Corpus
Christi, Texas with John, Mark and Amy. Steven
still couldn’t believe he had won the radio
contest. The prize was a free trip to
the Toy Tower, the world’s biggest toy store!
It was closing for the night, and Steven was
going to have the whole store to play in. As Steven was getting out of the cab, he noticed a delivery van speeding away from the
store. The side of the van had the
words “Felini Movers” written on it. Steven
caught a glimpse of the driver as the van passed. The driver was wearing a dark mask with pointy ears. “That’s
weird,” Steven thought. Maybe the driver was going to a costume
party after work. Steven shrugged.
Gotham City was a strange place. Steven
wanted to play with the world-famous KAT-2000, a catshaped robot made just for
kids. It could play games, help with
chores, even make milkshakes. Toy Tower
had the only one in the whole world! But
when Steven went inside, he learned that the KAT-2000 had been stolen. The police were looking for clues. But the thief had left no trace. The
store manager sighed. “We may never get
the KAT-2000 back,” she said. “Don’t
be so sure of that,” said a deep voice.
Everyone turned to look. Steven
couldn’t believe it. Batman was here! Just
then, Steven remembered something
important. He
told Batman about the strange van he had seen. “The
driver was wearing a dark mask with pointy ears?” asked Batman. “Hmmm…” “There’s
something else,” Steven said. “I heard on TV that the KAT-2000 runs on a
special kind of battery. Won’t the
thief need a supply of those?” “Yes,”
Batman looked at Steven. “Could you identify that van if you saw it
again?” Steven
nodded. Batman
smiled. “Would you like to take a
ride?” Steven followed
Batman to the Batmobile. He could hardly believe this was happening. “Where
are we going?” he asked. “To
the Supervolt Battery Factory,” Batman said.
“That’s where the KAT-2000’s battery pack is made. I have a feeling you’re right—the thief will
have to stock up on the special batteries, or the robot will be useless.” The
Batmobile zoomed through the streets of Gotham City. In no time at all Batman and Steven
reached the factory. “There
it is!” Steven cried. The “Felini Movers” delivery van was parked outside the
factory. A dark figure was loading
crates into the van. In
the glow of a streetlight Steven saw the pointy
ears of a mask. “That’s
the driver I saw,” he told Batman. “Just
as I suspected,” Batman said. “It’s
Catwoman.” He pointed to something
shiny in the back of the van. “And
there’s the KAT-2000.” “Catwoman,
it’s all over,” Batman announced as he leapt from the Batmobile. “That’s
what you think,” Catwoman replied. She grabbed
the KAT-2000 and ran. Batman threw his
Batarang, winding a rope around her legs. “Look
out!” Steven yelled. “The KAT-2000 is going to fall.” Steven
jumped out of the Batmobile and caught the KAT-2000 just before it hit the
ground. The robot was safe. “Nice
work, Steven,” said Batman. “Drat!”
cried Catwoman. “I really wanted that
robot. It’s purr-fect for me.” “I
get it,” Steven said. “You’re a KAT burglar!” Back
at home in Corpus Christi, Texas, Steven told John, Mark and Amy all about his exciting
adventure. The police had arrived and
arrested Catwoman. Batman slipped away
into the shadows. The
manager of Toy Tower was thrilled to get the KAT-2000 back. Steven
finally got his tour of the toy store—with the amazing robot as his guide. And best of all, Steven
got a postcard in the mail. “Dear
Steven,” it said. “Thanks for your help solving the KAT-2000 crime. I couldn’t have done it without you. Batman.” The End ©DC Comics
