The Last Laugh
It's April Fool's Day in Gotham City, and the morning starts off bright and clear. However, the ominous sounding music lets us know that's not going to last for long. Sure enough, a trash barge passing beneath the Gotham River Bridge is emitting a foul green cloud that washes over the vehicles on the bridge. At the helm of the barge is a large clown, which means that the Joker is running this little scheme. One of the vehicles passing over the bridge is a Dinks security truck. The driver wrinkles his nose at the smell of the barge, and then suddenly starts laughing. In fact, he starts laughing so hard that he loses control of his truck, narrowly missing two painters who are repainting a section of the bridge. The painters yell after the truck driver, but then they start laughing as well. Meanwhile, the bridge is being raised for the passing barge, and the security driver is heading right for it. Before the truck goes over the edge, the driver bails out, and the empty truck sails into the river. At Wayne Manor, Bruce Wayne is getting ready to start his day, but obviously he had a rough night of crime fighting earlier, and he cuts himself shaving. Alfred tries to comfort his master by letting him know that he's drawn him a bath. When Bruce goes to the tub, however, he finds the tub empty. Alfred holds up a drawing of a bathtub, and wishes Bruce a April Fool's day. While Bruce is in the shower, he has Alfred turn on the radio so that he can catch up with the going-ons in Gotham City. Sure enough, there's trouble afoot. Traffic has stopped due to an overturned trailer of eggs, and there's been a series of near-fatal car accidents all along the river, since hundreds of Gothamites have just started laughing hysterically. Bruce quickly realizes that the Joker is at work here. Back at the river, we see a submarine beneath the trash barge watching the security truck sink to the bottom of the river. Two men in scuba gear leave the submarine and break open the back of the truck. Inside are numerous bags of money, which they begin grabbing. Inside the submarine, the Joker is primping himself in a mirror, getting ready to make his grand debut in Gotham. He has the news radio playing as well, and we hear that the laughing attacks are moving toward the financial district. The news gets cut short at that point, however, as the newscaster succumbs to the laughing gas. "That's my cue," says the Joker. On the streets of Gotham, an electronic banner warns that the stock market has fallen 20 points. Things are about to get worse, because the Joker's trash barge is pulling into dock. A panel opens up beneath the trash and Joker and his henchmen come out, pushing shopping carts. Everyone on the street is laughing, so the Joker's men have no trouble stealing their purses and wallets. The Joker stops by a Jewels "R" Us store and busts open a store window right in front of a cop, who offers no resistance. Meanwhile, Batman has sent out a small weather balloon to take a sampling of the gas. The Batcomputer quickly discovers that the gas is coming from the riverfront district, and determines that "lengthy exposure to the gas will result in permanent insanity." Batman doesn't like the sound of that, and the situation is about to get even worse. He calls for Alfred to bring him his hex key, but Alfred tells him to "fetch it himself." Batman thinks this is just another one of Alfred's poor excuses of an April Fool's joke, but suddenly he hears a sharp crash from upstairs. He races into the library to find Alfred smashing everything in sight. The windows are open, and the Joker's gas has been drifting inside. Batman quickly puts his gas mask on, but it's too late for Alfred, who falls to the floor after breaking a Ming vase. Batman tries to calm Alfred down, with the dooming analysis of the Batcomputer echoing in his mind. If he doesn't stop this attack soon, Alfred will be permanently insane! The Bat Boat races across the river, heading to the scene of the Joker's mayhem. Summer Gleeson is on hand, equipped with a gas mask, to report on the imminent collapse of the stock market. "The only things gaining now are the laughingstocks," Joker jests, but it seems he spoke too soon. The barge begins to shake violently, and Joker races over to his periscope. Taking a quick look around, he spots Batman, who punches the periscope, knocking Joker backwards. The Bat Boat now has the barge in tow and is leading it away from the city. Joker leads his men up to face off against the Batman. Batman has no trouble taking care of the first two of Joker's henchmen, but the Clown Prince of Crime has another trick up his sleeve. The third clown henchman - the huge barge helmsman - rips loose the tow cable, and the Bat Boat goes speeding off on its own. He then comes over to attack Batman. None of Batman's attacks have any effect, since Joker's Captain Clown is a robot! The Captain whirls Batman around, making him dizzy and disoriented and then drops him into a steel drum Joker wheels over. Once inside, Joker clamps the lid down, trapping Batman inside. He then pokes several holes into the drum with a dagger, narrowly missing Batman with each strike. Finally, Captain Clown picks up the drum and tosses it into the river. All the holes Joker made in it quickly start letting in water, and the drum sinks into the river. Joker sends the barge back towards Gotham while Batman continues to sink. Inside the drum, Batman has been completely submerged. He uses the homing beacon on his utility belt to call the Bat Boat to him, which submerses into the water to reach the drum. Once next to it, the Bat Boat unleashes its lasers to slice open the side of the drum, freeing Batman. The Joker has reached the Ace Disposal Plant, and he's refilling the barge with his toxic laughing gas. Batman arrives on the scene, and tosses a throwing star through the hoses, dousing Joker's henchmen instead. This time, when the henchmen leap at him, Batman rips their masks off, exposing them to the gas and removing them permanently from the fight. That won't work with Captain Clown, so Batman picks up a steel pole and bashes the clown with it. All it seems to do is slow him down, so Batman races up a trash heap towards the massive trash compactor. The robotic clown snags Batman's cape, forcing Batman to stop and bash him in the head with the pole some more. Batman finally rips his cape loose and gets on top of the compactor. As Captain Clown clambers up to join him, Batman smacks him with the pole again, breaking loose his clown mask to reveal the robot machinery beneath. Batman knocks the stunned android into the compactor, but he only has a moment's respite before Captain Clown begins to climb back out. Batman pulls the lever to start the compactor, crushing Captain Clown. "You killed Captain Clown. You killed Captain Clown!" Joker screams as a Captain Clown cube exits the compactor. Joker retaliates by dropping a load of junk onto Batman and then hops on top of the Captain Clown cube, which is riding the conveyer into the Disposal Plant. Batman gets out from beneath the junk and races after the Joker. Batman has almost caught up with the Joker when the clown grabs a hold of a hanging cable and swings away, while Batman is stuck with the cube, sliding towards a molten pit! Batman dives off the cube and grabs onto a bucket traversing the pit. He has barely climbed into the bucket when the Joker starts pushing massive crane hooks into it, trying to knock Batman loose. Batman leaps onto the second of these hooks, and swings back to Joker. Joker simply pulls a lever, which sends the hook - and Batman - hurtling back towards the molten pit. Batman jumps onto a nearby set of massive gears and rides them back up to the catwalk where Joker is. Or rather, was, because Joker's run off again. Batman spots him racing towards a trash tube and chases after him. Both leap into the tube, but Joker again grabs onto a cable at the end and swings to safety. Batman tries to slow himself down, but there's nothing to grab onto and so he goes flying off the edge, towards the incinerator below. Luckily, Batman spins around at the last moment and grabs onto the end of the tube. Joker presses a button to release a load of trash into the incinerator tube. Batman is struck by this garbage, knocking him loose from the tube, but he narrowly avoids a firey death by flinging a grappling hook up and around the catwalk Joker's on. Batman swings across the pit and confronts Joker, who tries to escape by flinging a razor-tipped playing card at Batman, who easily evades it. Joker backs away, but has secretly released another card from his sleeve. When he throws it this time, however, Batman simply catches it. Joker turns to run away, but trips himself on a cable and winds up dangling above the incinerator. Batman considers leaving him there for a moment, but then pulls the Joker up. Back at Wayne Manor, Bruce returns to the library after taking his eighth shower to wash away the smell of garbage. Alfred is back to normal, but is feeling bad about the destruction of that Ming vase. Bruce tells him, "It's okay, Alfred. I'll just take it out of your salary for the next couple of years." Alfred resigns himself to that, and then discovers that this is Bruce's own poor version of an April Fool's joke.
Trial
At her latest trial, Poison Ivy is sentenced to be returned to Arkham Asylum yet again. Gotham City's newest District Attorney, Janet Van Dorn, presses for life imprisonment, but the court's hands are tied by the fact that Ivy was apprehended by Batman instead of a regular police officer. As she leaves the courtroom, Janet is quoted on television as saying (again) that Batman is a disgrace; he is responsible for creating all the "supervillains" in his rogues’ gallery, and acts outside the law. She feels that Batman has made the city dependent on his myth, instead of facing the reality of what needs to be done to suppress crime. When Ivy is returned to Arkham, Harley greets her enthusiastically, confiding that the inmates will be throwing a party soon – courtesy of The Mad Hatter, who has planted his mind control chips on the guards. Ironically, Janet is also Bruce Wayne's latest girlfriend. He arrives at a restaurant to keep a dinner date with her, but she is called away by a phone call. A short time later, the Bat-Signal appears, and Batman receives a note from Gordon informing him that the kidnappers have Janet. He goes to the rendezvous, but is ambushed and knocked out. Batman awakens in a straitjacket in a cell in Arkham. Two-Face informs Janet that, true to her words on television, Batman is going to be put on trial – by them. And she will be his attorney. If she succeeds in defending him, they both go free; fail, and they both die. An impromptu courtroom is set up in the operating theater:
The Accused: Batman
Baliff: Ventriloquist & Scarface;
Prosecutor: Two-Face
Defense Attorney: Janet Van Dorn
Jury: Mad Hatter, Poison Ivy, Killer Croc, Scarecrow, Riddler, and Harley Quinn
Judge: Joker
The crime of which Batman is accused is "creating" each and every one of them: driving them to become criminals, freaks, and monsters. But Janet has studied the histories of the rogues thoroughly, and her defense is brilliant:
Mad Hatter claims he was a harmless scientist, but admits that he was driven mad with love for his young assistant, Alice; (
Janet: I suppose you, like your friends, claim that Batman drove you to be a criminal?
Mad Hatter: He did.
Janet: And yet, as I recall your case, you brainwashed and kidnaped a woman who rejected you?
Mad Hatter: Batman forced me to do it. He was going to take her away from me. I had no choice.
Janet: You could have respected her wishes and left her alone...
Mad Hatter: I'd have killed her first!... Oop. I'd like that last statement stricken from the record, please.
Joker: Record? Is someone supposed to be writing this down? )
Harley thanks Batman for creating her loyal "puddin'," which Janet undermines by revealing that the last time she escaped from Arkham, Joker ratted her out in hopes of reducing his own sentence; ( joker was trying to tell miss van dorn not to tell harley about him ratting her out when harley heard this she attack him croc had to remove her from the court room till she cooled down)
Ivy says it is Batman's fault she is a criminal, since her only crime would have been trying to kill Harvey Dent (now Two-Face); but Janet goads her into admitting the depth and violence of her botano-phile sentiments; (
Janet: And so it's Batman's fault you lead a life of crime?
Poison Ivy: He should have let me bump off Harvey Dent. We'd all have been better off. Wouldn't we, Harv?
Two-Face: (Muttering while flipping his coin) Why you rotten little...
janet: lets say the judge , janet takes joker's flower from his lapelle & she starts to pluck the petals from the flower which starting make ivy very mad attacks janet, croc had to remove her from the court room till she cooled down)
Batman urges her to keep the farce going, while elsewhere the police follow the clues he has left. In her closing argument, Janet admits she was wrong: without Batman, the rogues would have turned out exactly the same way; in truth, they created him, not vice-versa. To her own astonishment, the jury feels it has no choice but to find Batman not guilty. Joker congratulates Janet, then merrily declares that they're going to execute them both anyway, being the rotten scum they are. Batman is dragged into one of the treatment rooms and strapped to the electroshock couch. Before the switch is thrown, Joker, who has swapped his judge's robes for a priest's cassock & said in a (bad Irish accent) And now the final confession, the secret you've kept hidden for so many years
, begins to unmask Batman. Just then, Janet remembers a batarang Batman left from an earlier encounter with the Dark Knight , and throws it at the ceiling light, plunging the room into darkness. The moment's confusion is all Batman needs to break them out. (
Two-Face: Everyone spread out! Don't let him get away!
Batman: (from darkness) Who says I'm leaving?
Two-Face: Nobody panic!
(Everyone turns to find Harley Quinn dangling from the ceiling, strapped in Batman's straitjacket)
Joker: OK... start panicking! )
As they make their way to the exit, the police storm in and hold the mob at bay. Joker pursues them outside, but is subdued after a brief fight.
As the new day dawns, Janet makes her peace with Batman, as they agree that what they both want most is a city that doesn't need him.
Be A Clown
Mayor Hill is giving a speech at a construction site, saying the new block of apartments being built will herald a new, safer Gotham City. The speech is rudely interrupted by a pair of criminals who crash their getaway car and then open fire on the police pursuing them. Batman appears and takes them down. Rising from the podium he ducked under, Hill resumes the thread of his speech, railing against men who act outside the law. When Summer Gleeson sardonically asks him if he includes Batman, Hill responds, absolutely: "He and criminals like the Joker are cut from the same cloth." Joker happens to be watching this in his hideout, and is outraged at the comparison. He gets an idea for revenge from Hill's next statement, promising to make the city "as safe as [his] own mansion."
That weekend, the mansion is the site of a birthday party for the mayor's son, Jordan. The party is more a political media event than a real celebration, and Jordan feels overlooked and unloved. Practicing magic tricks alone in his room, he is mad when his father barges in and demands that he come out and greet the cream of the city. Hill has a surprise for his son, though. In addition to the important guests, he's invited a clown: the exuberant Jekko the Magnificent. Jordan is awed by Jekko's act, and asks how he can become a magician like him. Jekko laughs and says the first necessary step is to run away. Then Mayor Hill insist that Jordan leave the clown and come and greet the new arrivals, including Bruce Wayne. Fed up, Jordan runs up to his room.
For his parting gift, Jekko plants a large sparkler candle on top of the birthday cake It doesn't take a genius to figure out that Jekko is really the Joker, and the candle is really a stick of dynamite, but no ones ever accused the average Gothamite of being brilliant. As he leaves the Mayor, he lets out one of his trademark laughs. Hearing it, Bruce looks around and sees the candle. Pushing his way through the crowd, he pretends to stumble with the large present he's carrying, knocking the cake into the pool, where the bomb detonates harmlessly underwater. Hill calls the police, who find the real Jekko the Clown tied up down the road from the mansion. As Hill demands answers, Bruce realizes, "where's Jordan?" The scene shifts to inside Joker's van, where Jordan pokes his head up. Joker returns to his hideout, an abandoned amusement park. He starts to remove his makeup, but Jordan appears, saying he followed "Jekko's" advice and wants to be a museum like him. Joker is initially enraged at having his hideout invaded, but laughs it off and says he's been thinking about a protégé. Reviewing a home video of the birthday party, Bruce notices "Jekko" mention the name of his mentor, the "Great Prosciutto" – who was a performer at the amusement park. Back at the park, Joker is teaching Jordan how to swallow a sword. His lesson is interrupted when Joker's security system sounds an alert. As he scans his cameras, he notices Batman skulking through the park. He proposes that he and Jordan play a little joke on the Dark Knight and Jordan, remembering that his father says Batman is no good, and not wanting to upset his new mentor, agrees. Jordan lures Batman into the park's funhouse, where Joker ambushes him with his razor-tipped playing cards. Batman easily evades the attack and chases after Joker, who flees to higher ground and then tosses his ace card at Batman. This card detonates into a cloud of knockout gas, and Batman falls to the ground. Joker uses a fortune telling machine which drops a card predicting Batman's fate. Joker reads it and laughs, "You're gonna love this!" When Batman wakens, he is upside down in a tank rapidly filling with water, bound by a straightjacket and shackles. Jordan is nervous, but Joker tells him to watch the "show." Jordan applauds when Batman manages to get free of the straightjacket, but then realizes that Batman really is drowning. He grabs an axe and strikes the side of the tank, but Joker plucks the ax away before he can strike again, and reveals his true identity. Jordan grabs a seltzer hose and sprays Joker in the face, distracting him long enough to run out. As Joker chases after him, Batman pushes with his legs on the crack Jordan made, and manages to shatter the tank. Recovering his breath, he grabs his utility belt. ("All right, Joker – get ready for a little Bat-magic!") As Joker searches the amusement park for Jordan, Batman runs to the park's control room and throws the power switches, turning on the park's lights and attractions, to distract Joker and illuminate the area.
Joker catches up with Jordan, hiding on one of the roller coasters, just as Batman sees them. Joker starts one of the coasters and he and Jordan roll away on it. Batman jumps on the second as it starts, slightly behind the first. As the cars speed around the track, Joker throws grenades (shaped like Kewpie dolls) at Batman's coaster. The third lands right in the seat of the lead car, and the coaster de-rails in the explosion. However, Batman has managed to jump onto the rear of Joker's coaster. Joker lunges into the back. As they wrestle, he tries to squirt Batman with his boutonniere, but Batman ducks and kicks Joker off the coaster, causing him to fall with a scream into a lake far below. Looking ahead, he sees the coaster is heading for a break in the track, while Jordan is still in the lead car. Batman yells for Jordan to take his hand. Jordan hesitates for a moment, scared of Batman, then reaches, and Batman swings them both away just before the coaster goes off the rails and crashes.
At the mayoral mansion, Hill is sadly toying with his son's magic tricks, when Jordan calls, "Dad!" and runs into his father's arms. Having learned a lesson about how truly important his son is, Hill shushes Jordan's apologies and gives him "the best birthday hug" he's ever had. Over his father's shoulder, Jordan sees Batman smile and give him a thumbs-up. Jordan smiles back and returns it.
Almost got 'im
While hiding out from the police, the Joker, the Penguin, Two-Face, Poison Ivy and Killer Croc gather at the criminals-only Stacked Deck to play cards and swap stories about their mutual nemesis. Each one has an "Almost Got 'Im" story when it comes to trying to do in Batman.
Ivy's tail
Poison Ivy placed poison ivy gas inside pumpkins on Halloween, which went off when lit. When most of Gotham City started to feel the effects of the gas, Batman went to the city pumpkin patch to investigate. There, Ivy attacked Batman with the gas, successfully weakened him, and almost unmasked him. However, Batman programmed the Batmobile to run down Ivy, and later pulled a breath mask from the vehicle. He subsequently captured Ivy.
two-face's tail
Two-Face staged a robbery of the Gotham Mint for "$2,000,000 in two dollar bills." Batman, in an attempt to stop the heist, was overpowered by Two-Face's henchmen, the "Two-Ton Gang." Staying true to his personality disorder, Two-Face flipped his coin to see whether he would kill Batman or let him live, with a negative "bad-heads" result. Batman lunged at him ineffectively, but was restrained by his henchmen, and Two-Face took Batman's utility belt, strapped him to a giant penny and placed it on a catapult: "The coin lands face down, you'll be squashed flat. It lands face up... it'll just break every bone in your body." In midair, Batman cut himself free of the ropes using Two-Face's own coin, which he had managed to steal, and apprehended the crooks. In return for apprehending Two-Face, and much to Two-Face's irritation, the Gotham Mint let Batman keep the giant penny.
killer croc's
Killer Croc threw a rock at Batman in a quarry. The other villains stare at him for a moment and continue telling their stories, while Croc mutters, "It was a big rock."
Penguin's tail
The Penguin turned a zoo aviary into a home for dangerous birds in a plot to kill Batman. Pretending to attempt a break-in to the aviary caught Batman's attention; the Penguin sprayed Batman with a red gas out of his infamous "Umbrella Gun". Acting as though the spray were harmless, Penguin ran into the aviary, but then announced over a loudspeaker that in fact the red gas was a nectar eaten by poison-beaked hummingbirds, which were released to attack the Dark Knight. After being bitten several times, Batman threw a batarang at a sprinkler, where the water slowed down the small birds. Before he could inject himself with an antidote, he was attacked and viciously gashed by a cassowary. In desperation, Batman stabbed the flightless bird with one of the hummingbirds, incapacitating it. Batman chased after the Penguin outside, but the villain escaped, flying away via his umbrella.
joker's tail
The Joker and his gang took over and blocked off the set of a Gotham City late-night talk show, his gang holding the audience hostage. Batman went to save the people in the set but was overpowered and strapped to a "laugh-powered electric chair" which would fry him with electricity that rose in voltage the more the audience laughed. The Joker then took over the show as host. With the audience being forced to laugh at gunpoint, the Joker wanted more 'honest' laughter, and pumped the studio with laughing gas until "these people would laugh at the phonebook." He then had his assistant Harley Quinn read names out of the phonebook to elicit more laughter from the crowd. During this time, the Joker got so confident that he took out a sausage and began cooking it with the chair's steadily-increasing electricity until Catwoman broke into the studio and attacked him. While being thrown back, he dropped the metal rod he was using to hold the sausage right on Batman's lap. Too distracted at this point with Catwoman, nobody saw Batman use the rod to escape from the chair — too late, as the Joker was already fleeing the studio. Catwoman, starting to gain on him, was knocked out from behind by Harley Quinn. Then, in order to prove there is more than one way to 'get' Batman, he instructed Harley to take Catwoman to a catfood factory and strap her to a meat chopper. The Joker himself decided to hide out at the "Stacked Deck" for a while to lose Batman. He explains to the other villains that he is getting ready to go meet Harley at the factory, and "turn Catwoman into cat food."
Finale
At this point, Killer Croc stands up saying "I don't think so" with Batman's voice, and proceeds to throw the Joker across the room, revealing himself to be Batman in a Killer Croc suit. However, it would seem Batman sacrificed everything to get this information, as he finds himself alone in a bar confronted by his deadliest foes, all itching to get him and in a perfect position to do so. Unfortunately for the villains, they in turn are confronted with multiple loaded guns as it is revealed that every other patron of the bar is a police officer, among them Renee Montoya , Harvey Bullock and Police Commissioner James Gordon — the whole thing was a sting operation. As the villains are arrested, Batman goes to the cat food factory to find Catwoman, bound, gagged, and strapped to a conveyor belt. He saves Catwoman from Harley Quinn.
The episode ends on a humorous note, as Catwoman makes a pass at Batman and implores him to reveal his identity to her, only to turn and find he has pulled one of his trademark disappearing acts. She then smiles, shakes her head and mutters to herself, "Huh. Almost got 'im."
Harley and Ivy
It's another night in Gotham City, and once again the Joker is fleeing the Batmobile in his own car, with Harley Quinn in the driver's seat. When Joker orders her to turn, she protests, but he orders again, and she does so – causing the car to careen down a construction hill. Irritably, he snaps at her to hand him his gun, which she does after rummaging through her bag. He takes gleeful aim at the Batmobile's tires, but the gun turns out to be a dud. Batman gets close enough to snag Joker's rear bumper with a tow cable. As he reverses, Harley presses a button and jettisons the boot, leaving the Batmobile behind.
Back at the hideout, Joker rants about Harley's screw-up with the gun. When Harley timidly mentions that she did get them away from Batman, Joker sarcastically asks if she thinks she's a better crook than him. She dares to say, "maybe," and he tosses her out of the hideout in a rage.
Defiantly, she decides to pull the original heist she planned herself. She goes to the Gotham Museum of Natural History to steal the Harlequin Diamond. She evades the security system with ease, but then the alarms are tripped by Poison Ivy, stealing specimens from the museum's lab. The two women are cornered by the police. Harley grabs one of the specimen bottles and shoots it with her popgun, creating a cloud of gas that disables the police and lets them get away. As they speed away in Ivy's car, she says, "This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship." Ivy takes Harley to her latest hideout, a house in an abandoned housing development begun over a toxic waste dump. As they bond, Ivy is disgusted at Harley passive acceptance of Joker's abusiveness, and declares that Harley needs to buck up her self-esteem.
For their first official caper, they invade the men's-only Peregrinators Club, tie them up with dropped vine creepers, and then loot the trophy room. Before long, they are committing a spree of crimes all over town, enough to draw Batman's attention. They also become best friends, though Ivy is exasperated at Harley's undying affection for "that psychotic creep."
Elsewhere, Joker is missing Harley in his own fashion: without her, the hideout has become a mess. When he demands why she hasn't come back yet, one of his henchmen nervously shows him the latest headline: "New Queens of Crime." Joker is enraged that Harley is out-doing him as a crook. But he gets his chance when Harley secretly phones him from Ivy's house, allowing him to trace the call. At the same time, Batman analyzes a soil trace from one of their tire tracks, and realizes where they are hiding out. Batman gets there first, but is subdued by one of Ivy's creeper plants. The girls chain him to an old table and dump him into a chemical waste pit. But they re-enter the house to find Joker and his goons, eagerly scooping up their stolen gains. When Ivy protests, Joker gasses her with his boutonnière, but it doesn't work on her. She knocks Joker and his goons to the ground, then drags Harley along with her to make their getaway.
As his goons give chase, they are subdued by Batman, who has managed to escape the trap. Joker picks up a tommy gun and opens fire, despite Batman's warnings about the cocktail of flammable and explosive chemicals they're sitting on. Sure enough, a stray shot ignites a chemical drum, and soon the whole waste dump goes up in flames. Joker's goons flee, while Batman knocks Joker out and then saves them both in the Batmobile.
Speeding away in their car, Ivy exults, "no man can take us prisoner!" Then their car is disabled by a well-aimed shot from Renee Montoya. They are arrested, and sent to Arkham Asylum along with Joker. In Arkham, Joker swears that this is the last time he ever starts a gang with any women in it, while Ivy has some rather resentful feelings towards Harley.
