==Synopsis==
 
==Synopsis==
During World War I, a green ball of energy smashes into the trenches, and Batman flies down from the sky. An alien invader is firing his energy cannon at the troops. As Batman tries to open fire, the German air ace, Enemy Ace, opens fire on Batman, mistaking him for the enemy. Batman maneuvers above him and says that they need to join forces to battle injustice. The Enemy Ace realizes the weapon is dishonorable and agrees to help. Together they open fire on the cannon and Batman drops a bomb, destroying it. The alien flies away and Enemy Ace salutes Batman as he departs… and hopes they don't meet again, for Batman's sake.

Batman travels back to World War I in the Batplane to fight an alien dictator and his henchman. The alien has brought an advanced long-range energy cannon with him. As Batman prepares to attack, the German flying hero, Enemy Ace, opens fire on him, believing him to be the enemy. Batman manages to evade the pilot's machinegun fire until he can get close enough to explain that they have to team up. Realizing that the energy weapon is a dishonorable weapon, Enemy Ace opens fire and distracts the enemy long enough for Batman to destroy the cannon with a bomb. The alien flees in his spaceship and Batman returns to the present. As he goes, Enemy Ace says that it's been an honor knowing him... and it would be best if Batman did not meet him again, for Batman's sake.
 
The aquatic villain known as the Fisherman has taken scientists hostage in their bathysphere. He prepares to kill them when their government refuses to pay the hostage, but Aquaman arrives. The Atlantean king takes out the villain and telepathically commands his whales to rescue the bathysphere. His dolphin sidekick starts talking to him, waking him up…
 
 
And Aquaman narrowly avoids a collision. He's driving an RV with his wife Mera and son Arthur, Jr. Arthur Jr. is busy playing video games and is bored with the trip. Aquaman goes back to daydreaming about his exploits, but Mera reminds him he promised that there'd be no superheroics during their family vacation. She insists that they act like normal land dwellers.
 
 
The family stops at a diner in Star City and Mera is eager to see the landmarks. Aquaman steps out and claims he's checking on the RV, but calls Batman and says he has cabin fever and needs the Caped Crusader to rescue him. Batman is busy fighting the Penguin's henchmen and tells Aquaman to enjoy his vacation. As Aquaman goes inside, the Arrow Signal flashes across the sky.
 
 
The Clock King and his henchmen are robbing the Star City Bank when Green Arrow arrives. Aquaman shows up to help but Green Arrow insists he can handle it. The Clock King escapes while his henchmen cover his exit. Aquaman takes them out and Green Arrow nets them with an arrow. They follow Clock King to a museum where he takes a hostage. Aquaman telepathically commands some lobster to attack him and the day is saved. Aquaman returns to have some apple pie with his family.
 
 
Next, Aquaman and his family visit a tourist cowboy town. Aquaman claims that he's feeling land sick and puts his wife and son on a stagecoach tour… and then calls Batman again. Batman is still busy tracking down the Penguin through the streets of Gotham City and hangs up. Aquaman hears a news report about the Blue Beetle battling the Planet Master at a nearby gold mine and goes to investigate.
 
 
Planet Master is using the power of the planets to hold off Blue Beetle. As they argue over whether Pluto is a planet, Aquaman arrives and knocks back the villain. Blue Beetle is glad to see one of his idols and the two of them team up to deflect his meteorite strike back at him. Aquaman invites Blue Beetle to visit him in Atlantis and even starts to let him title the adventure before driving off in his RV.
 
 
The Aqua family arrives at the hotel, but Mera catches a newscast about the battle. Aquaman admits he couldn't help it but gives his kingly word that he won't do any more heroics.
 
 
The trio travel across the country, and Arthur Jr. is still bored. They drive past a battle between the Top and the Red Tornado, but Aquaman's services aren't required. At another stopover, he witnesses Dr. Polaris and Green Lantern fighting, but Aquaman keeps his word. He even sees Sportsmaster… on vacation with his family.
 
 
Finally the family arrives near Gotham City. Aquaman gets a call from Batman's communicator, but discovers that the Penguin has captured his arch-nemesis and strapped him in a giant deathtrap with a dipping bird. Aquaman realizes that Batman finally needs his help. Aquaman drives them to Gotham City without telling Mera what is going on. She soon realizes that he's there to see Batman. He follows the communicator signal and goes into the warehouse where Batman is being held. Penguin electro-shocks Aquaman unconscious, and then sends his henchmen to capture Mera and Arthur Jr. when they come in to investigate.
 
 
All four of them are strapped to the conveyer belt and Penguin boasts that he will send his umbrella drones across the city to fire paralytic gas and knock everyone unconscious. Aquaman apologizes and Mera admits that perhaps normal vacations aren't for them. The Penguin interrupts to fire his drones across Gotham City. Mera tells Aquaman to show her husband why he's king of the city. Aquaman telepathically commands crabs to climb up, get Batman's utility belt, and give it to the Caped Crusader. He uses it to free himself and throws a Batarang to stop the conveyer belt. Aquaman frees his family and they join with Batman to battle the Penguin's henchmen. Batman takes the Penguin's control unit and shuts down the drones, and the villain flees. Batman goes after him and Mera tells Aquaman to help.
 
 
Batman goes off the pier in the Batmobile, transforming it into a sub, and catches up to the Penguin as he boards his sub. Aquaman swims up and arrives in time to lend a hand, and the Penguin opens fire with a flamethrower umbrella. Batman entangles it with his cape and knocks the villain out once and for all.
 
 
Later, Batman thanks Aquaman for his help. The Atlantean king then says it's time for a real vacation. Mera and Arthur Jr. would rather see him save the world again.
