Synopsis for Batman: "Bodyguards to Cleopatra"

When an ancient Egyptian frieze is unveiled at the Gotham Museum, the public is astonished by the depiction of the Bat-Signal in the frieze. In order to learn the mystery behind it all, Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson ask Professor Carter Nichols to send them back in time to the ancient Egypt.

In the past, Batman and Robin witness the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza and also meet with Cleopatra, the Queen of Egypt. The Dynamic Duo then solve the mystery of the murder attempts on Cleopatra's life and during their investigations, they create a signal similar to the Bat-Signal on the pyramids in order to capture the killer. Upon returning to the present, the Dynamic Duo have learned the mystery behind the Bat-Signal of Ancient Egypt.
