harley bio
Harley Quinn, real name Dr. Harleen Quinzel. about early 20's or mid 20's, was once a young intern at Arkham Asylum, there she meets the joker , there she become his psychoanalyst
then he told her a bit of his past. he came from a broken home his mom ran away when he was 5, his dad was mean to him & never saw his dad be happy or laugh , once his dad took him to a circus when it got to the clowns they made his dad laugh, later next day joker did the same thing like the one clown did, but his dad gave him a black eye , after alot of talks little by little she started to fall for him later joker escape Arkham & killed a lot of people, Harleen worryed like mother hen was about to look for him when batman came in draging the clown in the Arkham halls, a bruised & bleeding joker,Harleen snapped. How dare that pointy-eared creep treat her poor puddin that way ? Doctor-patient relationship be damned; her puddin was more important than any job, anywho. Harleen rushed home to find weapons and equipment and stole a harlequin outfit from a local costume shop. After all, to save her puddin, one must look the part. She busted into Arkham,took the Joker out with her, & now called herself Harley Quinn. since then she has been joker's moll, She has been in and out of the Asylum, both as an escapee and as a rehabilitated patient, over and over again.
Her infatuated love for The Joker dominates her life; he is her motivation to the life of crime which she leads in order to remain close to him. Almost all of her actions are done with his happiness in mind. She is terrified of him and insanely in love with him and can barely imagine a life without him. Her sick infatuation leads her to carry out his every beck and call and she is cowed by him and utterly adoring of him.
Their relationship is a complex one, following a similar pattern to the typical abusive relationship. Joker physically and psychologically assaults her, then draws her back in with comfort and affection. She makes the vow to walk away, only to find he is a drug she cannot be rid of. Her attempts to stand up for herself are eventually dismantled by either his threats, or her fear of losing him. With someone as insane as The Joker, his reason for keeping Harley around instead of killing her are uncertain. Almost definitely, he views her as a 'toy' - something he created, and most likely he values this; his ability to reduce an independent, attractive and successful young woman to a willing slave who has given up all hope of a normal life for him. Doubtless her undying adoration holds amusement for him; and is a reflection to him of his own ego.
But it is also very possible that Harley truly has touched Joker in some way. The Joker is renowned amongst all as being one of the most dangerous and unpredictable maniacs the world has ever seen, generally accepted as loving no one but himself - as not even seeing other people as 'real', but merely as objects to play with. Yet it seems that somehow, Harley has penetrated through the twisted paths of insanity to touch some long-forgotten core deep within him.
For her part, Harley will never truly be free of her love for Joker. She is utterly infatuated and will remain so, even during her periods of 'sanity'. He has completely bent her mind to his and changed her life for ever.
Most of the time she's pretty happy about it. Harley has a vivacious, effusive and highly expressive personality, quick to show affection for her loved ones, just as quick to anger and snap. She is a woman of extremes in all things. Her mood swings, whilst nowhere near as violent as Joker's, are still mercurial to the extreme. She experiences all emotions intensely and passionately.
She is undyingly loyal to her two best loved ones - Joker and Poison Ivy - and often ends up as a bit of a 'door mat' to both of them, being cowed by their more dominant personalities.
Whilst Harley seems merely zanily playful, she is absolutely insane, unpredictable and therefore highly dangerous. Her love for The Joker makes her fiercely defensive and protective of him and she will go nuts in order to do so, or to defend their love to anyone who questions it. She will do whatever it takes to help his dreams come to fruition - as mentioned above, she's a highly determined and fixated woman - as well as pursue her own goals with the same fervour. Harley believes that The Batman is the source of Joker's pain and hates him as a consequence. This makes her a deadly enemy to the Dark Knight, none more so than when she is fighting by the side of her man. when she & joker have a sour patch she can all ways come to Poison Ivy (or red as for her hair) the two become pals. when Joker, frustrated with Quinn, kicks her out of the gang, so she steals the Harlequin Diamond(they were planing to steal it but batman stop them) in a museum to prove her worth. At the same time,Poison Ivy robs the museum of plant toxins. The two become quick friends and Ivy takes her back to her lair in a toxic waste dump where she takes care of her and injects her with a serum which has given Harley an immunity to all toxins and poisons. Harley and Ivy team up for a number of successful capers, becoming Gotham City's "Queens of Crime". anyway back at joker's place he wonders where are his socks & place a mess & bud & lou snap at him & ask his two muscle men Rocco & Henshaw were Harley is? they told him that he kicked her out , joker told them that she all ways comes back , rocco told him not this time boss did you not see the papers, & joker said what papers & looked at that days paper that said "Queens of Crime" when he saw it he scaremed so loud that it knocked the sighed outside, anywho as batman he knew were two "Queens of Crime" were at , but had to ware a gas mask, so in end batman got the three & ivy was little mad at Harley but made up in the end same as joker.
But Harley & ivy can still be pain in cape for batman when they team up. harley once helped batman & robin (dick grayson) to look for joker becase he stole a black market atomic bomb so batman & harley team up to look for him in some new hideouts, asks if she can get changed & he ok it when she is changing he looked a round found that the Mayor's & D.A.'s & Gordon's office are bugged with hidden camera's, he was about to ask harley when bud & lou attack him it was a good thing harley showed up becase they were going to eat him, she had two big steaks for them just in time to save batman, after looked the at hideout 1 they looked at hideout number 2 a big old bilding harley was going to use her grappling hook that looked joker but it hit her head so batman used his & talled harley to hang on & up they go to a open window ! harley had to cacth her breath batman looked a round found find this hdeout is a mob gambling party, run by "Boxy" Bennett, where batman is captured. As robin sneaks in to help Batman, while Harley sings a dark but funny song called say that were sweetherats again to distract the gun-toting party goers.
After they escape, Batman gets impatient and demands to know where Joker is. Harley laughs and mocks him for not having figured it out already: Joker is holding Mayor Hill prisoner at his mansion, using Hill to distract the cops. when they got there now that Harley's end deal is done batman handcuffing Harley in the batmobile, over her protests, Batman and Robin sneak onto the mansion's grounds, finding the bomb on the lawn and Joker frolicking in Hill's swimming pool. Hill asks that Joker just make his ransom demand, the city will gladly pay it. Joker says he's not planning to ransom the city — instead, he's just going to explode the bomb and take care of the cops and Batman in one fell swoop. He and his goons already have an old-fashioned biplane set up on the grounds to escape the explosion.
Batman and Robin appear, and fighting ensues. Harley, escaping her cuffs, appears and pins the two up. "Deal's off, B-Man. Nobody said anything about hurting my puddin & said & here you thought I was just another blonde-headed bimbo! Well, the joke's on you: I'm not even a real blonde."
."
Joker is somewhat surprised to see Harley there, but cheerfully invites her to board the plane with him. He starts the bomb's timer: 10 minutes.
Robin points out that Joker didn't leave enough time to swing by Arkham and save Harley. Joker laughs this off, but Harley also realizes that there isn't enough time to save their fellow inmates like ivy or her other pals. Since the clock is ticking, Joker tries to override her objections, but she panics when Batman mentions their pets. "I'll buy you a goldfish!" Joker yells, exasperated, "let's go!" Harley resists, and he flies off without her.
Harley frees Batman and Robin free just as Joker circles around, strafing the ground with the plane's machine gun and dropping bombs. Batman manages to evade them, and Robin successfully defuses the bomb. Now totally crazy, Joker sends his plane on a suicide dive toward the bomb, firing the machine gun at it, saying it's going off, one way or another. But Harley fires a pinpoint shot with a spring-loaded Joker head, hitting Joker and knocking him into a daze. He loses control of the gun and shoots his own fuselage, and the plane crashes into the Mayor's mansion.
As Joker stumbles out of the wreckage, Harley levels the machine gun at him. Batman yells for her to stop, but they are too far away to prevent her. Joker scoffs, saying she doesn't have the guts to shoot him.
She pulls the trigger, Joker flinches — and a flag that reads "RAT TAT TAT" pops out of the barrel. Batman and Robin sigh in relief. For a moment, Harley looks afraid of Joker's reaction, then he laughs and says, "Baby, you're the greatest!" They embrace each other, their nonsensical romance rekindled.
harley can still be pain for batman without joker or ivy , when harley once got a parole & this how the story goes, At Arkham Asylum, Harley Quinn is jubilant to receive a clean bill of mental health from her doctor, and be granted parole. Batman and Robin, in the process of returning Scarecrow to Arkham yet again, offer their congratulations, but warn her to stay out of trouble. She declares that, starting the next day, she'll show the world just how sane she is.
The next day, she is ambling down the street on roller skates, looking for all the world like a car-hop on her day off – except she's taking her two rabid pet hyenas for a walk, and passerbys are scrambling to get out of her way. Thinking the problem is her outfit, Harley ducks into a department store.
Inside, Bruce Wayne is reluctantly trying on clothes, with the help of Veronica Vreeland. Harley catches sight of them and cheerfully remembers when they last met – during a hold-up by the Joker. Picking out a new dress for herself, Harley buys it at the register, but rushes out before the clerk can remove the security tag. The clerk calls to the guard at the door, and he asks her to stop.
Harley panics, thinking she's being arrested again, and knocks over the security guard. She rushes into the dressing room, and comes out again in her clown costume. Running outside with her hyenas, she jumps behind the wheel of Bruce's car, with Veronica in the backseat, and roars away. As she does so, Harvey Bullock swerves his car to avoid her and crashes into a hydrant. ("Oh, you're gonna pay for that!") Bruce is left standing outside the store.
Hearing his daughter has been kidnapped, General Vreeland angrily confronts Commissioner Gordon, who reassures him that Harley is confused and scared, and doesn't intend to hurt Veronica. General Vreeland refuses to accept this, and calls for military backup.
Batman and Robin team up and Batman deduces that Harley will go to someone who can hide her and then sneak her out of town. Sure enough, she has gone running back to Boxy Bennett, who hasn't forgotten their last meeting. However, he's still a sucker for a pretty face, and eager to exchange Veronica for a fat ransom. Harley objects to this, saying Veronica is just a bystander, and will go free as soon as Harley is away. Boxy begins to argue, and just then Batman and Robin arrive and tackle Boxy's thugs. Harley grabs Veronica again, and jumps back into the car. Boxy narrowly escapes a mauling by Harley's hyenas, and takes off after her in a truck. As they speed along the highway, Veronica asks if Harley was sincere about letting her go. Harley says yes, she's finished with crime, only she has to get out of town since no one will believe that she didn't mean to kidnap her. Veronica offers to not press charges, and also to speak up for her with the police, if Harley stops. Harley is overjoyed, thinking her day is finally turning around – then a cannon blast narrowly misses the car, and the two women look to see General Vreeland riding a U.S. Army tank down the road at them. Harley speeds away again, then halts in the middle of an intersection in the theatre district, with Bullock, Boxy, and Vreeland bearing down on her from three directions.
There is a humongous crash, and the Batmobile arrives a second later. As the drivers get out to look at the wreckage, Harley calls from a rope above, drops Veronica into Robin's arms, then takes off. As Batman takes off after her, General Vreeland hugs his daughter, while Bullock contents himself with arresting Boxy.
Up on the roof, Batman urges Harley not to throw away her hard work and her freedom. Harley attacks, ranting about the string of troubles she's had. As Batman avoids her kicks, her wild moves take her to the edge of the building, and she ends up hanging for dear life on a collapsing billboard. As it gives way, she falls, but Batman saves her. He sets her down, all the fight (and, it seems, the contents of her stomach) gone out of her.
Batman and Robin return her to Arkham, but Dr. Leland assures her it won't be for long: Veronica, true to her word, dropped the kidnapping charges and it should only take a little more work before Harley's ready to interact with "normal" people again.
Harley asks Batman why he has been looking after her when she's been nothing but trouble to him. He says he can only sympathize with her honest desire to lead a normal life: "I had a bad day too, once." As a parting gift, he gives her the dress she bought. Ecstatic, she plants a big kiss on his face, before returning to her cell.
Harley is still in love with joker & still pals with ivy & a pain to batman & his pals, & superman ! but that is a other bio.
Harley loves joker likes some of schemes all but one, The Laughing Fish scheme she hated fish they make her sick , when Bullock found the hideout he was captive joker was planing to feed him to a shark when he realizes that Batman will arrive soon and he's the one Joker really wants. he said If this lunch meat figured out where we are, Batman won't be far behind. And why spoil my sharky's digestion, when I can feed him bigger fish? Harley said Eee-yuck! Again with the fish! I HATE fish! (notices Joker's glare) Uh, no offense, Mr. J. Joker: Poor Harley. This whole caper's been really touch on you, hasn't it? Harley: Uh-huh, Cheer up! You can be my own little mermaid! (Harley gives a little squeal of delight... then Joker jams a giant rubber fish head over her, and laughs.) Harley: You're really sick, you know that, boss?
Joker: Mm-hmm. later he talls batman, You're right, Harley. Fish are disgusting. I think I'll start using my toxin on cattle. Joker Burgers! Ha! Talk about a happy meal! in the end joker was to beleave to be eaten by the shark & Harley to Arkham.
Beware the Creeper
At the Ace Chemical Plant, news reporter Jack Ryder is anchoring a live TV special on the career of the Joker, starting with his encounter with Batman at the plant that ended with his life-changing tumble into a vat of chemicals.
Joker, watching from above, decides to stage his own tribute to that fateful day, entering onto the scene, dosing Ryder and his crew with his trademark laughing gas, and then "re-enacting" his confrontation with Batman by tipping Ryder into another large vat of chemicals. Batman, having glimpsed Joker on the television, is quick to arrive at the plant with Robin. While Joker's henchmen keep them busy, Joker occupies himself with pushing the hapless Ryder back into the chemical soup every time he tries to climb out. For his finale, Joker gives Ryder an exploding cigar causing the chemicals to explode. Joker then fights Robin knocking him into the plant's controls causing the tank to flush into the nearby sewer, forcing Batman to try and save Ryder, letting Joker escape.
Ryder's burning coat is seen dissolving into the chemicals and he is presumed dead, but in fact Ryder has survived, and had a bizarre reaction to the combination of Joker gas and the chemicals: he is transformed into an extraordinarily strong and agile maniac with yellow skin, green hair, and a rictus grin. Ryder runs around town for a while and decides that he should get revenge on the Joker. Ducking into a thrift store, he assembles a bizarre costume, preparing for a new career as a crime-fighter. He uses his own credit card, alerting Alfred to the transaction. Alfred then alerts Batman to the Creeper's location.
Joker returns to his hideout upset that someone is stealing his image. However, he finds that his henchmen are gone, Harley has given them the night off, so she can throw a special, private party for Joker's birthday. She rises out of a giant pie and offers to play but Joker predictably, tosses Harley out on her ear telling her to "find the plagiarist who's been stealing my act!"
Ryder's finds Joker's thugs at the Stacked Deck, he demands Joker's whereabouts, dubbing himself (based on one of Mo's remarks), "The Creeper!" The three thugs attack Ryder but he has no trouble taking them down. Harley starts moping outside the club when Ryder catches site of her. Feeling an intense attraction, he accosts her, demanding "the inside story on the Joker... and your phone number."
Harley runs from the club and Ryder is instantly after her. She tries to kill him by dropping a heavy crate onto him but Ryder is unharmed. Pursuing Harley back to Joker's hideout, the Creeper confronts the Joker who throws a vial of explosives at him. However, the Creeper is still unharmed and is only defeated when Harley hits him with her hammer into a stack of giant blocks. The explosion leads Batman and Robin there, where they begin their pursuit of Joker and Harley. The Creeper wakes up and pursues Joker and Harley as well. However, being in the Jokermobile he accidentally unleashes missiles behind him. He then attacks Joker. Although his mania is benign, his methods are so extremely wild and frantic that even the Joker begs to be arrested, crying "He's a lunatic!" Batman cuffs Joker and injects the Creeper with a sedative.
Back at Ryder's apartment, Batman applies a skin patch that returns Ryder to his normal state. Before leaving him to rest, Batman warns him that the patch must be left on to counteract the chemicals. After they leave, Ryder examines the skin patch curiously, finding it hard to believe that a "little piece of cotton" can make such a big difference. Outside his apartment, there is a small sound of tearing fabric, and soon the Creeper's demented laughter is pealing from the window.
World's Finest
During a stormy night in Gotham City, an antique dealer prepares to close his shop. As he is closing his door, a woman forces her way in. She is Harley Quinn and using a prank music box, she sprays the shop owner with laughing gas. As he laughs uncontrollably, the Joker enters. The Joker looks around and spots a statue of a green dragon. He steals it and heads out.
Later Detective Harvey Bullock looks over the crime scene. He is confused as to why the Joker would steal the statue and ignore the other valuables. Commissioner Gordon is also puzzled because word of the street is that the Joker is looking for cash. Batman arrives and agrees with the two policemen. He examines and later analyzes a bit of green residue that he finds on the statue's base. Batman discovers that the statue is emitting a low level of radiation. He tells Alfred that he is heading to Metropolis.
Sometime later, Lois Lane sits aboard Air Force One. Suddenly, the aircraft that is carrying the president is taken over by hijackers. Soon Superman arrives to save the day. He enters the plane and deals with the hijackers.
On the ground in Metropolis, the president thanks Superman. After the president leaves, Superman apologizes to Lois for shaking the plane up. Lois tells him that she is getting used to it. As Superman is about to leave, Lois tries to ask Superman out. Unfortunately, a bank robbery interrupts her and Superman heads off.
In his Penthouse apartment, Lex Luthor reads the newspaper and grows angry at the press's coverage of Superman. Luthor tells Mercy to prepare his limo. Just after she responds, she is knocked out by Harley Quinn. Luthor heads to the limo and discovers that it is being driven by Harley. She heads into the street and picks up the Joker. The Joker enters the car and tells Lex that he wants to make a deal. The Joker says that he will kill Superman for a billion dollars. Luthor laughs and asks the Joker how he expects to kill Superman when he can't even deal with Batman. The Joker reveals that he has an ace up his sleeve: a green statue made out of Kryptonite. Luthor agrees to the Joker's plan & shake hand. Later Lois and Clark await the arrival of billionaire Bruce Wayne at the Metropolis Airport. Bruce has come to Metropolis to oversee business negotiations with Lexcorp. When he steps out of the plane, Lois is struck by his good looks. Bruce steps up to her and begins a conversation. He offers her dinner and an interview. She accepts and Bruce heads to his limo. Some time later, the Joker confronts a mobster named Ceasar Carlini. The Joker tells Carlini that he needs a place to stay. Carlini orders the Joker killed, but Harley Quinn knocks out his gang. The Joker uses laughing gas on Carlini and throws him out. He tells Carlini's gang that they have a new leader.
In a hospital Superman sees Carlin in a laughing fit. He realizes that the Joker has come to town.
The next day, Bruce Wayne and Lex Luthor oversee a new robot prototype being tested in a canyon. Wayne wants the robots to be used for unmanned space travel. Lex on the other hand believes that the robots have potential military applications. Wayne disagrees and informs Lex that according to their deal, the robots cannot be used for anything without his approval. That evening, Bruce takes Lois out for dinner. They talk about Superman, but Lois tells him that she doesn't want to talk about Superman anymore. He agrees and the two dance. Sometime later, Clark Kent asks his contacts to keep an ear open for word on the Joker. At the same time at a dance club, Batman begins his own investigation. He confronts a former gangster named Binko. He tells Binko that he knows that his former boss Carlini has been replaced. Batman fights off a number of Binko's bodyguards. He grabs Binko and pushes him against the wall. He tells him that he wants to know the whereabouts of the Joker. Batman begins to press Binko, but Superman arrives and tells him to stop. Superman grabs Batman's arm, but using judo, Batman throws Superman across the room. Superman is surprised, but knocks Batman over. Using his X-ray vision, Superman discovers that Batman is Bruce Wayne. He tells Batman that he does not want vigilantes in Metropolis. Batman says that he'll leave after he finds the Joker. He tells Superman that the Joker is out to get him and that he has twenty pounds of Kryptonite. Before Superman can respond, Batman disappears. Superman heads home. He goes to his apartment and changes back into Clark Kent. He gets a phone call from Lois who tells him that she has a date with Bruce Wayne. As he chats, Clark notices a tracking device on his cape. Clark looks out the window and sees Batman watching him with binoculars. Now both of them know each other's secret identities. At the Daily Planet, Lois works on a story and is surprised by Bruce Wayne. When she walks off to talk to Perry, Bruce talks to Clark. He tells him that he has been unable to find the Joker. Clark tells him that he is concerned about his relationship with Lois. Bruce assures him that he is taking her quite seriously. Lois returns and the two head off.
Later after dinner, Bruce and Lois talk about Clark Kent when they are interrupted by the Joker. The Joker grabs Lois and knocks her out. The Joker's gang starts to shoot at Bruce who falls backward off a ledge. He lands on a window washer platform. The Jokers men shoot the platform out from under him. Bruce falls, but manages to grab a ledge. He looks up and sees the Joker escaping in a blimp.
Later Dan Turpin interviews Bruce Wayne. He tells Bruce that the SCU will recover Lois. After Turpin leaves, Bruce tells Superman that the Joker is using Lois as bait. Superman tells him that he will keep his eyes open and flies off.
Meanwhile, the Joker and Harley hold Lois captive. The Joker tells her about his Kryptonite statue and how he is going to use it to kill Superman.
In an airport hanger, Alfred watches as a Jumbo Jet opens revealing the Batwing. It flies off. At SCU headquarters, Dan Turpin and Superman receive a message from the Joker. The Joker tells Superman that he has Lois. He shows Superman a map to his location and tells him to come alone. Superman heads out to deal with the Joker by himself. Meanwhile, Batman observes Superman's flight in the Batwing.
Later, Superman arrives at a LexCorp laboratory wearing a suit designed to protect him from Kryptonite. Superman confronts the Joker and after a brief exchange, the Joker pulls out some Kryptonite. The suit protects Superman from any harmful effects and he takes the Joker prisoner. The Joker leads Superman to a room where they see Lois suspended from a hook high above the ground. The Joker bemoans the failure of his plan, but suddenly remembers the other half of it. He douses Superman with acid and tosses the Kryptonite at him. Superman falls and the Joker attacks him. As Superman lays dying, the Joker dances around in pleasure. He zaps Superman with electricity and taunts the helpless Lois.
In another part of the building Batman arrives. Unfortunately he is spotted by Harley Quinn. Harley tells the Joker that Batman has arrived. The Joker wishes Lois farewell and heads off.
After a short fight, Batman deals with the Joker's gang. He heads into the room with Superman and Lois. He grabs the Kryptonite, but when he turns to take it out of the room, the door locks. A television turns on revealing the Joker. He mocks Batman as the room begins to fill with Smilex gas. Batman examines the contents of the room. He sees that it contains hydrochloric acid. It is not enough to eat through the wall, but Superman tells him to use it on the Kryptonite. Batman pours the acid over the Kryptonite and it slowly dissolves away. Superman makes it to his feet. He grabs Lois and Batman and breaks through the door.
In the control room, Joker and Harley realize that Superman has escaped. Superman breaks into the control room, but the Joker throws a bag full of marble grenades to cover his escape. Superman, Batman, and Lois escape from the building and set down in a parking lot. Superman thanks Batman and Batman heads with the help of the Batwing.
After Batman leaves, Lois asks Superman whether Bruce Wayne is okay. Superman tells her that he is perfectly fine.
The next day, Lex Luthor is at the remains of the LexCorp building blown up by the Joker. He tells reporters that the explosion was not nuclear. He heads off with Mercy and whispers to her his dissatisfaction with the Joker. Clark using his super-hearing manages to overhear him. At their secret hideout, Harley tries to cheer up the Joker (Harley Quinn: (waving a gingerbread man around) Hello, Mr. J! I'm Batman! Eat me, eat me, eat me!
The Joker: I know you're trying to cheer me up, Harley, but you see, any time I blow a billion dollar deal... IT REALLY KILLS MY APPETITE!!
). Suddenly, they are attacked with machine gun fire. It is Lex and Mercy. The Joker tries to apologize to Luthor, but Luthor (angry that one of his laboratories was destroyed) grabs him. Joker calls to Harley and Luthor calls for Mercy. The two girls fight while Luthor and the Joker iron out their differences. The Joker tells Luthor that Batman ruined his plan. He tells Luthor that he still has half the statue and that he can finish the job. He demands more money to deal with both Superman and Batman, but Luthor refuses. The deal is still on, but the Joker is not going to get any more money. Luthor and Mercy leave after Luthor tells the Joker that he only has one more chance. Later at Lois's apartment, Clark Kent arrives and is invited in. He is surprised to find Bruce Wayne there. Clark tells Lois and Bruce that the Joker is working for Lex. That night in Lex's penthouse, Batman arrives asking for information. He asks about the Joker, but Luthor refuses to talk. Batman heads off when Luthor's security arrives. When the security men enter Luthor orders them to leave. Luthor tells Mercy to contact the Joker. He now wants to have Batman eliminated.
At the Daily Planet, Lois tells Clark that she is interested in transferring to Gotham City. Perry White arrives and tells them that the cruise ship Atlantis is giving off a distress signal two hundred miles off shore. As Lois sits down to check the information, Clark turns into Superman and heads off. Bruce Wayne is working out in his apartment when he spots the Joker's blimp. On the blimp is a sign that reads "Laff Night at Hobbs Bay". Bruce gets the message and using a power glider, he heads off to the bay.
Superman arrives at the cruise ship and asks the captain about the distress call. The captain doesn't know what he is talking about. Superman looks over the side of the ship and spots a small boat sending off a distress signal. The small explodes, blowing a hole in the side of the ship. Meanwhile, Batman arrives at the bay and is greeted by the Joker and a laser-equipped LexCorp Spider robot. Batman arrives via glider at Metropolis Harbor. He is met by the Joker and a LexCrop Spider Bot. Meanwhile, Superman uses a lifeboat to weld over the whole in the side of the cruise ship. At the harbor, Batman engages as Spider Bot. The Joker escapes while the robot pursues Batman into the streets Metropolis. Eventual Batman arrives at the Daily Planet looking for Clarke. He finds only Lois. The Spider Bot soon arrives and attacks Batman. Eventually, with the help of Lois, Batman sends the robot into a printing pres. Batman, however, is unmasked in the process. Lois sees that Batman is really Bruce Wayne. Before she can have words with him, the Spider Bot attack them again. Superman, however, arrives in time to save them. At LexCorp Headquarters, Luthor realizes that wreckage from the Spider Robot can be traced to him. He tells Mercy to arrange a final meeting with the Joker. At her apartment, Lois tends to Bruce's wounds. She expresses her frustration at him over his secret identity. As Lois heads out for some iodine, Superman arrives. Bruce thanks Superman for saving him. Bruce says that he can link the robot to Luthor. The two agree to a partnership. When Lois returns, Bruce is suiting up as Batman and is preparing to leave. He leaves before she can tell him to be careful.
Meanwhile at LexCorp, Joker and Luthor discuss business. Luthor wants Joker's Kryptonite. When Harley reveals that they brought it, Mercy pulls a gun on them. Luthor plans to pin the wrap wholly on the Joker. Unfortunately, the Joker turns the tables on him. He knocks Mercy out and Harley takes the gun. The Joker kidnaps Luthor and steals a powerful LexCorp flying wing. Superman and Batman arrive and enter Lex's building. The Joker activates several Spider Robots as a distraction. He sends them after Batman and Superman and takes off in the flying wing. After a short fight, Superman and Batman manage to dispose of the Spider Robots. They manage to free Mercy who was tied up to one of the machines. She tells them that the Joker has kidnapped Lex and that he wants to destroy everything that Lex has ever built. Superman is worried when he realizes that Lex built half of Metropolis. Batman heads off to stop the Joker while Superman stays behind to deal with the final spider robot. Meanwhile over the city, the Joker attacks LexCorp buildings throughout Metropolis. Eventually Batman arrives and engages them in the Batwing. Using the LexWing's missiles, the Joker shoots Batman out of the sky. Batman manages to escape and jumps onboard the LexWing.
At the same time, Superman fights off the Spider robot even after it exposes him to Kryptonite. Using a lead lined door Superman smashes the robot and sends it flying right out of the building. The Joker continues to attack the city when Batman attacks him and knocks him off of the controls. Harley takes over and begins to crash the aircraft. Superman arrives just in time to stop the ship from crashing. The Joker and Batman fight until the Joker reaches for his exploding marbles. He drops the bag causing small explosions all over the ship. Batman grabs Harley and Superman grabs Lex. The two of them escape the LexWing before it explodes. The Joker attempts to get a parachute. Unfortunately the LexWing tilts and knocks him to the ground. He sees the exploding marbles heading his way and he laughs hysterically. After a few moments, the LexWing explodes and crashes into the ocean. Superman flies over and grabs Batman and Harley. They head back to the city with Lex in tow. Later, Angela Chen reports that the Joker's body has not been found. She also reports that the D.A.'s office has been questioning Lex over his connection with the Joker's rampage. She also announces that Bruce Wayne has cancelled his partnership with LexCorp and that Harley is being taken back to Arkham Asylum (her words were i want a dr. a lawyer a grilled cheese sandwich, mercy watching news laughs & said now thats funney ). At the airport, Bruce and Lois talk. She tells him that she can't go with him and heads off. As he heads to the plane, Bruce runs into Clark. Bruce wishes him good luck with Lois and heads off.
The Strange Secret of Bruce Wayne
Out on a closed bridge, a solitary woman, Judge Maria Vargas goes to a meeting with a couple of thugs unaware that Batman is following her. The thugs demand money but she says that they were to make a trade. The men show her a videotape and she hands over the money. However, the thugs claim it's not all there and demand another hundred grand. Vargas insists she can't afford that much but the thugs refuse to listen. Batman decides it's time to reveal himself and attacks the thugs. During the chaos, the tape falls onto an I-beam hanging from the bridge and Vargas desperately goes after it. Unfortunately, she loses her balance and is knocked out on the girder. Batman manages to save her but the tape falls into the water below and the thugs escape.
The police later arrive and take Vargas to the hospital. Although she's not hurt badly, she'll be out for a while and cannot provide any information leaving Commissioner Gordon to wonder what she was so afraid of. He insists that Vargas was an honest woman and had nothing to hide so he's sure that blackmail was out of the question. Batman, however, isn't too sure about it. Continuing with his wonderings, Gordon mentions that Vargas had just gone on vacation at a relaxation resort the Yucca Springs Health Resort that happens to belong to Daggett Industries. Batman figures that there's a connection and decides to pay the place a visit.
Wayne heads out with Alfred and schedules an appointment with Dr. Hugo Strange, the same doctor that treated Vargas. Wayne is placed upon a machine that Dr. Strange explains will lower his defenses. Wayne isn't too sure he wants to be subjected to the treatment but Dr. Strange goes ahead with it anyway. He asks Wayne about his childhood, and while Wayne isn't willing to talk about it, but Dr. Strange's machine reveals his thoughts on screen. Seeing that Bruce lost his parents, Dr. Strange presses the issue and discovers that Bruce Wayne is in actuality Batman. Wayne leaves more stressed than before but unaware of the true nature of Dr. Strange's machine. Dr. Strange, however, is intrigued by his newfound information.
Later, Dr. Strange calls up the Joker and tells him that he has something that would be interesting. Meanwhile, Wayne decides to take advantage of Dr. Strange's absence and examines his machine. Discovering a batch of tapes he finds Vargas' and watches it. The tape reveals that as a child she accidentally started the "Great Gotham Dock Fire" when she was playing with matches. Realizing the purpose of the machine, Wayne checks to see his tape but discovers that it's missing.
Elsewhere, the Joker, Two-Face, and the Penguin arrive with some rather heavy bags. Alfred witnesses the three crime bosses entering the resort and discovers that the bags contain money. He calls Wayne who is erasing the tapes, and warns him to escape. However, Dr. Strange and his thugs discover and kidnap him. Unaware of this, Wayne realizes that Dr. Strange is going to auction off his secret and decides to make a new tape just before he destroys the machine. Dr. Strange and his thugs arrive, but they are too late to save the machine. They capture Wayne who is strangely apathetic and lock him up.
With his enemy locked away, Dr. Strange starts his auction, which quickly reaches the millions, but the Joker decides that they should "pool their assets." However, unbeknownst to Strange, Wayne has escaped. Batman connects a new link to the screen and the video shows Dr. Strange claiming that his plan was to imagine Batman to be anyone he wanted and Batman's enemies would believe it and pay a fortune. Enraged at this, the three villains attack Strange who tries to escape. However, the villains catch up with him at the airport and take him for an unfriendly ride. Desperate to save himself, Strange tells the villains that Bruce Wayne is Batman which falls on deaf ears. The trio prepares to throw Strange out of the plane but Batman, who had climbed onto the bottom of the plane, cuts the fuel tubes forcing them to land. The villains threaten Batman, but he manages to disarm them and the police arrive taking the three into custody.
Gordon reveals that Judge Vargas has confessed to her guilt but Batman points out that she had nothing to fear since it was an accident. Strange, however, is not convinced that he has lost. He has already figured out that Batman imagined the fake tape and he knows Batman's true identity. However, much to Dr. Strange's surprise and dismay, Bruce Wayne walks up next to Batman. Batman then explains that he knew of Dr. Strange's scheme and had Bruce Wayne pretend to be Batman. Now confused over the accuracy of his original theory, Strange is taken away.
When everyone is gone, Bruce Wayne removes his mask revealing himself to be Dick Grayson wearing Wayne's clothes and leg extension braces to look taller. Batman then decides to go home, believing he's had enough vacation.
Christmas with the Joker
It's Christmas at Arkham Asylum, and all of the sociopaths are decorating and singing Christmas carols. The Joker is in the middle of the asylum choir, and naturally changes the words to "Jingle Bells"((singing) Jingle Bells, Batman smells. Robin laid an egg. The batmobile lost a wheel and the Joker got away! Crashing through the roof, in a one-horse open tree. Busting out I go, laughing all the whee! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!
)before making his escape on a rocket-powered Christmas tree. Meanwhile, back at the Batcave, Robin tries to convince Batman to kick back and relax as there's no need for them to go out on Christmas. Batman believes otherwise since Joker has escaped. Robin makes a deal with Batman: if they go out on patrol and find no sign of the Joker, then they'll return home and watch It's a Wonderful Life. Batman agrees and the duo heads out. All seems quiet in Gotham for a change and Robin is convinced they aren't needed. Batman is his usual self: seeing a man running after a rich old woman and believing that she's going to be robbed, he heads out after them. However, the man calls to the woman and tells her that she dropped a package a couple of blocks back and returns it to her the lady thanks him & gives him a kiss on the cheek. Robin asks to go home and Batman silently swings off. "He could give lessons to Scrooge." The dynamic duo returns to Wayne Manor for dinner and Batman finally relents and decides to give It's a Wonderful Life a try. As they settle in for the movie, However, they discover that It's a Wonderful Life isn't on. Instead they find that Joker has hijacked the television waves and has a "Special" for Batman. Joker shows a tank with a giant Santa Claus on top crashing through the city. The show is announced to be "Christmas with the Joker." Batman and Robin instantly work to find the Joker's location by checking power surges and head out to find him. Joker mentions that since he doesn't have a family of his own to spend Christmas with, he's stolen one: The Lawful Family, consisting of Gordon, Summer Gleeson, and Detective Bullock. Joker tells Batman that he can have them if he can find them by midnight. If he fails, they will die. However, before Batman and Robin can reach him, Joker reveals "Laughy" his own Christmas Elf. Laughy and Joker explain that they will blow up a rail bridge just in time for the 11:30 train to arrive. Summer becomes agitated and explains that her mother is on that train. The Batmobile pulls up alongside the train and Batman and Robin split up so Robin can uncouple the passenger cars and Batman can find the engineer. Robin manages to stop the cars with ease, and Batman crawls up to the engine, grabs the engine and dives off the train to safety. The train continues off the bridge and blows up in the valley. In retaliation for his latest prank being sent awry, Joker blows up his studio audience which are cardborad. Batman and Robin return to the Batmobile, where Batman reveals that he's isolated the Joker's broadcast signal, and that it's coming from Mount Gotham. They race towards the observatory and find a present by the radar antenna. Batman suspects a trap, and sure enough the present bursts open to reveal a Joker-style jack-in-the-box. While the duo is distracted by more of Joker's threats, the observatory telescope reveals itself to be a giant cannon and zeros in on Batman and Robin. They take off running as the cannon begins to fire, and the Joker cuts to a commercial.
We resume to find Batman and Robin still evading the cannon. This time they split up, with Robin heading inside the observatory. Batman causes the cannon to fire on the radar antenna, and Joker sends the cannon out of control, firing on Gotham City. Robin enters the observatory and finds a line of Joker dolls with machine-guns as hands. Robin rolls out of the way from the gunfire and dodges behind a pillar. Batman tells him to do "Operation Cause and Effect," which seems to consist of throwing a grenade at the cannon's control panel. Robin rejoins Batman outside of the observatory, and Batman admits he doesn't know what to do next. Back on Joker's show, Joker brings Summer over to open up her Christmas present. She opens it and pulls out a Betty Blooper doll. Joker reveals that the doll is going to be wound up and set loose on Gotham City, but this time he's overplayed his hand. Batman realizes that Betty Blooper dolls haven't been made since the Laffco Toy Factory shut down 10 years ago. They head to the abandoned factory. Joker's been waiting for them, however, and he starts "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies" blasting through the factory's loudspeakers and then automates three giant Nutcracker robots to attack Batman and Robin. The team quickly takes them out, Just then, the song switches to "the Russian Dance" and toy planes fly after the duo. Batman grabs up a baseball bat and smashes most of them while Robin catches the rest in an oil barrel. Just as the planes are finished off, but Donner and Blitzen show up on the catwalk to start shooting down at them. Batman and Robin evade their fire and duck behind a pile of teddy bears. The henchmen open fire on Batman's cape, but after they stop firing they realize they've been shooting one of the large bears and it falls off the catwalk,pinning them to the ground. With Joker's men and traps down, the duo sets out to find him but he reveals himself. along with his "Lawful" family, bound and gagged and hung over a vat of molten plastic He's poised to cut the rope, unless if Batman doesn't come and get his Christmas present. Expecting a trap, Batman takes the present and opens it to discover a spring-loaded pie inside. Joker has a laugh Batman wipes the pie loose and races after Joker, who cuts the rope. Batman jumps on top of the vat and catches the prisoners, then turns them over to Robin. He catches up with Joker, who escapes because Batman grabbed onto a pair of fake arms inside Joker's jacket. Joker races on to the catwalk and trips on a skate, narrowly falling into his own vat. Fortunately for him, Batman saves him and bids him a Merry Christmas. Joker simply says, "Bah humbug!" Back at Wayne Manor, Batman and Robin finish watching It's a Wonderful Life, and we see that Joker is back in his cell at Arkham.
