  • The last time we saw The Joker, Batman knocked him off a ship's railing. He survived and got a ride to shore. He returns to his hideout, an old haunted house, and gloats over the fact he survived. Two months pass, and The Dynamic Duo are out patrolling one night. The get in a battle with a band of thieves they saw leaving a house, but are defeated because one very strong thief overpowerers both of them. Another estate is robbed, and Bruce is invited to a party at a felllow socialite's home. At the party, there is a circus show with acrobats, a strong man, and a clown that Bruce Wayne notes looks familiar to him. That night, the performers go back to their haunted house and it's revealed they are The Joker and his thieves. Three days later, Bruce learns the people whose party he'd went to had been robbed. He then realizes each house that has the circus show performed is robbed after. That night, The Joker is preparing for another circus show. In the middle of the show, The Dynamic Duo smash through the window. They attack the performers, and Robin takes down all of the acrobats. Batman confronts Ajax, the strong man who had defeated him before, and knocks him out. As the circus clown is escaping, Batman realizes it's The Joker. They follow the clown to his haunted house hideout. Joker uses booby traps to attempt to scare The Dynamic Duo. When he realizes it's no use, he pops out of a trick wall and grabs Robin. Batman is tricked into a room and is locked into it. The Joker torments him by projecting his giant, laughing head floating in midair. The Batman destroys the projector causing the image, and The Joker informs him he will project deadly laughing gas in the room causing Batman's death. The Batman uses two vials from his utility belt to explode the door. He then battles Joker, who is knocked into a trap door. He plummets down a chute leading to the sewage waters running beneath the mansion.
