Synopsis for "The Late Batsby (Short)"

Barbara Gordon's boring evening is livened up when her friends call to tell they are going face Mr. Freeze. Barbara's joy is turned annoyance and panic when she realizes she can't go out until her father falls asleep, but her friends can't wait for her.

Barbara impatiently waits for her father to go to sleep, changes clothes and hops on her Batcycle. Frantically dodging cars, people and stray cats, hopping rooftops, dashing through apartments, racing up and down fire escapes and zip-lining across the river, Batgirl manages to arrive at the place right before her friends. The team burst into the warehouse and face Mister Freeze together.
