Redbird was brought to life with a Bat Mother Board. He specializes in stealth and tracking. At Gotham Amusement Mile, Snowy froze the ground under Redbird and he slid into a hot dog stand. The giant hot dog was stuck on him. In the rematch with the Legion of Zoom, Redbird used the ramp from his Launch Mode to send Ducky into the tea cup ride. The Batwheels used their Bat Magnets to save the limo Batman was trapped in with Robin and Batgirl.
Redbird felt left out when he was sidelined because the Joker Van was deemed too dangerous for him to handle. He secretly followed Bam. Red tried to dispose of a bursty bomb but it ended up hitting Bam and causing him to crash. They caught up to the Joker and the Gotham Central Bank. Red disobeyed Bam again and followed but rolled over a soda can and revealed their presence to Prank, Joker's van. Bam fell prey to a power draining joy buzzer but Red was still following him. Red removed it. Bam admitted he was trying to look out for him but got zapped instead. They engaged the Bat-Link and became turbo charged. They went after Prank together and performed the alley oop Red used to win a game of tag in the Batcave. Red applied the joy buzzer to Prank and immobilized him.
Redbird really looked forward to going to Gotham Point's beach with Bam for one of Batman and Robin's trips to test a new sand mode. However, it turned into a battle with Joker and Prank. Redbird was bummed out but Bam lifted his spiritis by pointing out they still got to do what he wanted like playing beach ball while fighting Prank and getting to see the sunrise. The Batwheels were quick to fall for Quizz's riddle. Redbird wanted to stay and solve the rest of his riddle but no one heard him. During the search, Redbird noticed a goose in the dot of a question mark painted on a stand and realized it was a wild goose chase. Bam, however, thought it was a clue that Quizz was going to steal the Golden Goose statue in Gotham Central Park. It was indeed a trap. Quizz then affixed his Mega Time Twister 3000 to the Gotham Clock Tower and took control of all clocks in the city.
The Batwheels debated on what to do. Redbird had an idea but no one heard him. He stopped himself and spoke up using his speakers. Bam gave him the floor. While Redbird distracted Quizz with a riddle about what word was wrong every time you say it, Batwing stole his Mega Time Twister 3000 off the Gotham Clock Tower. Quizz was angry the answer was "wrong" and chased after Batwing into an ambush where the other Batwheels caught him in a grapnel line crossfire. During a rev contest, Redbird realized his stealth tech made him different from the other Batwheels. He convinced Moe to remove it so he could rev loud like the others. Robin took Redbird with him to capture Catwoman downtown. He mistook the noise for the bass in the new speakers that were installed. Robin turned on Redbird's Bat-o-flage but the revs tipped Catwoman off. She led them to an alley with stray cats. The noise caused them to jump Robin and Redbird while she got away. Redbird blamed himself because he wanted to be a real Batwheel. The other Batwheels told him he always was because he was an awesome car that fights for justice and they each had cool stuff. Redbird realized the error of his ways and asked Moe to reinstall his stealth tech. 10 to 12 hours later, Robin went after Catwoman again. This time, Redbird got the drop on Catwoman with blinders and tied her up for the police.
Redbird got a holiday spoiler for Christmas. Harley Quinn was seen exiting Gotham Stadium on her ATV at the time Penguin stole the annual soccer championship trophy. As Penguin planned, Batman assumed Harley was the culprit. Redbird was skeptical of Harley being the thief. Along with Bibi, he found a dress button, cloth from an umbrella, tracks, and a rubber ducky, with his infrared scanner, that pinned the theft on Penguin. During the Annual Gotham Grand Prix, Ducky shot an inflatable duck onto Redbird. He was lifted up into the air like a balloon and disqualified. Redbird finally got to go on a solo night patrol. Bibi worried he would be too distracted with proving himself that he wouldn't ask for help if something came up. Redbird spotted a man in a trenchcoat steal a moped. The other mopeds he placed devices on became automated and chased Redbird. Redbird hid in an alley then went back to Moe for spy gadgets, taking inspiration from his favorite super spy, Agent V-8. Moe gave him a Holo-disguise that would make him look like a taxi cab, secret tracking spray, and a smoke screen.
Redbird doused some parked mopeds with spray then waitied as a taxi. The thief returned and stole them. Redbird tracked him to Amusement Mile. The thief was the Joker. He also took inspiration from Agent V-8 and fashioned himself as Dr. Joke, based on V-8's enemy Dr. Spy. He used his army of automated mopeds to clear out the crowded amusement park and ride the rides by himself, starting with the roller coaster. Redbird was overwhelmed and realized he should have asked Bibi for help. The moped in front of him revealed herself to be Bibi who used the same Holo-disguise from Moe. She used the secret tracking spy on Redbird to keep tabs on him. Bibi told Redbird a solo mission didn't mean you can't ask others for help. They used a combo move called the Bat-ball special. Redbird swung Bibi around and they knocked out the mopeds. Joker exited the roller coaster and was confused about all his mopeds being toppled over. Police squad cars chased him and surrounded him. Redbird elected to continue his night patrol.
In an effort to understand each other better and what their unique roles on the team were, Moe randomly switched the Bat-Motherboards of each Batwheel. Redbird was placed in the Batwing. He had a hard time flying; scraping the walls of the Batcave and turning off the jets mid-flight and falling into the waters below the Batcave. The Legion of Zoom stole the Rumble Ray from S.T.A.R. Labs in a bid to bring down the Batcave with shockwaves. Back in his body, Redbird knocked the Rumble Ray off of Ducky. Redbird took Buff's stuffed unicorn without asking him and placed him on a car as part of a stunt video to show off his new move the Bo Staff Back Flip. He failed to notice the car was on a truck flatbed. It drove off and dropped the car off at the Parkham Scrap Yard. Ducky and Jestah saw the uniform and fought over it. Prank also wanted it. Redbird used his Bat-o-Flage to sneak him but he was hit by confetti. He narrowly escaped unnoticed. Badcomputer scolded the Zoomers for playing with a toy. Redbird called Bam for help.
The Zoomers tugged at the unicorn and it popped out of their grasp atop a junk pile. Bam tried to fish it out of the yard but he only snagged a tire and then Crash. Luckily Crash was in sleep mode and they put him back before he woke up. Bam tried his Bat-Magnet. Redbird pointed out the unicorn wasn't metal. Bam was covered in a pile of scrap. Ace was sent into the yard. He found the unicorn but he dropped it and grabbed a tennis ball instead. Redbird frantically pitched other ideas but Bam pointed out the obvious, it was time to tell Buff the truth. They went back to the Batcave and Buff learned the truth about where his unicorn was. He wasn't happy but took solace in Redbird telling him the truth. He offered the use of his winch to save the uniforn. They later returned with Buff. Bam distracted the Zoomers by pretending to be a pizza delivery car while Buff lowered Redbird into the yard with his winch. Jestah realized they were cars so they didn't eat pizza. Bam lied he was at the wrong address and left.
They saw Redbird. Prank hit him with confetti. The unicorn landed on a junk pile. Redbird performed his back flip, snatched the unicorn, and narrowly exited the yard just as Buff lowered a train car in front of the entrance. On the way back to the Batcave, Redbird promised to always ask first from now on. Buff was cool with him using the unicorn for the stunt video. Bam revealed he got Redbird's back flip at the yard recorded. For the talent show with the Bat Dazzle Vehicle Paint as the prize, Redbird hit a series of cans at the bullseye of a target then they perfectly stacked on top of each other. Robin wanted to keep an eye on Harley Quinn at the Gotham dog show by entering Ace. Ace admitted to Bam and Redbird that he didn't know what a dog show was. They helped teach him the three parts of a dog show: athletics, inspection, and tricks. Near the end of the show, Harley ran out of patience and stole the trophy herself. Robin asked Batcomputer to send Redbird. Ace abandoned the third segment to gave chase and jumped from tent to tent. He leaped and knocked the trophy to Redbird. Even Harley was impressed.
During a dance party in the Batcave, Redbird became too shy when it was his turn. Robin was kidnapped by Toyman, who planned to use a new invention to force everyone in Gotham to dance against their will. Toyman's lair was secured by a special lock based on the Dance Stop Dance game. Toyman left the lock on super mega hard mode. Bam, Bufff, Batwing, and Bibi were unable to keep up and were ejected. Redbird was unsure of himself but the others all believed he was better than all of them combined. Redbird managed to conquer the lock and removed the Dancerizer from Robin only for it to fall on Toyman. During the seventh inning stretch, Joker activated his Stinky Cheeser machine to make everyone stink as bad as Gotham's baseball team. In Redbird, Robin sneaked into the stadium using Bat-o-flage while Batman distracted Joker in the Batmobile. He knocked Joker's control away with a Batarang and Robin snagged it. Batman left an Aroma Rose to cleanse the stadium of the Stinky Cheeser's odor. Redbird fumed he wasn't talked about on the news. Batcomputer reminded him being a hero wasn't about attention. Bam adding helping was its own reward. Redbird rolled his eyes and didn't think there was anything wrong with being seen.
Batman and Robin chased after Poison Ivy after she stole the rose. To counter Ivy's vines, Redbird used Bat-o-flage but he noticed a news van and turned it off. The vines grabbed Redbird and Ivy got away. Batman and Robin went to Ivy's lair but were captured. Batcomputer advised Redbird to use Bat-o-flage to sneak in and free them. He saw reporters but knew he had to save Batman and Robin. He easily sneaked into the lair and freed Robin from his restraints. Robin had no idea what happened but didn't question it and freed Batman. Ivy was captured outside. During Halloween, Bam and Redbird tried in vain to capture all of Ivy's Sack-o-lanterns with their Bat Nets. At Amusement Mile. Ivy trapped Bam and Redbird in a giant pumpkin but they used their tire grips to drive it like a hamster wheel. Ivy was, in turn, trapped in the giant pumpkin. Once her necklace was smashed, all the pumpkins returned to normal. In Bibi's Wizard of Oz dream, Redbird was Dorothy's pet dog Toto.
On Gotham Cleanup Night, a special night when citizens get together and clean up Gotham City, Clayface attacked downtown and shot clay all over the place while singing off-key. He proclaimed it would now be Mess It Up Night. Bam and Redbird were on patrol and were covered in clay. They returned to the Batcave for a wash but Redbird declined. They returned to downtown but were blasted again. Redbird admitted he didn't like being wet or soapy. He was convinced baths could be fun and ended up liking it. After both cleaned up, they chased Clayface again. Bam noticed the clay was attracted to and rejoined Clayface's body. He got an idea. Bam and Redbird fired their Bat Nets to capture Clayface then used their Bat Link and drove Clayface around to reabsorb all the clay. Once they were done, they threw him into a big rig truck.
Meet The Batwheels: Before Bam could settle in for the night and recharge, he was woken up by Bibi, Buff, Batwing, and then Redbird. Redbird needed his Batlink so he could measure the tallest stalagmite in the cave, "Lily." Redbird announced Lily was now 76 centimeters long. Redbird used a bat-drone to record a diary about Robin, who he considered to be his best bud. Batcomputer agreed to help him out and replayed footage of Robin and Batman thwarting Joker's diamond theft and Robin and Redbird capturing Ducky and Penguin after a high speed chase. He concluded since they had the same gear, including bat-o-flage, they were like twins. Batcomputer alerted him Riddler was breaking into S.T.A.R. Labs.
