Bat Minute Beyond - Chunkz of The Joker: Chunk 14 - Our Spidey Senses Are Tingling (with George Hendricks and Rick Ingham)

Minutes 66-70 Batman lies prone, at the whim of The Joker… except he’s got that dawg in him. Kind of. Ace attacks! He’s very well trained - he could eat The Joker’s face clean off but chooses not to. Good boy! Not all that good actually... the tackling sends Joker's buzzer careening right into the electronics, triggering the deadly space laser! Maybe ya goofed, dog. INCOMING! Terry goes at it - he isn’t backing down. This is THE moment to really prove himself as the true successor. Time to ROAST...

Bruce FORBADE Tim to be Robin ever again. I get it though - I mean, the kid was REALLY messed up by all of this. He also said that he would never take on a young partner again.

Minutes 41-45 HOW COULD HARLEY DO THIS?!?!? Eh, she's done... well, maybe not WORSE, but things of a comparable nature I suppose. An errant bazooka blast sends both her and Batgirl careening over a dangerous edge of the building. One will fall... to a death? Meanwhile, we discover just WHAT The Joker did to this poor kid and... oh boy... it's DARK, people! The Joker even goes full Palpatine.

By “look for him” we of course mean “beating the crap out of crooks to get answers”. Would you expect any less?

Bruce (we're still finding it hard not to call him Batman) is researching The Joker. HOW could he have returned? Is it even him? WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?!? Whatever it is, it's not fair to drag Terry into this - give the suit back, kid. THAT'S IT, I'M MOVING BACK IN WITH MUM! The next episode follows in one week! Same Bat Pod, different Bat Minute!

The Joker himself. He's got some fashion critiques for Bat Junior here and they're on point to be fair. Trim the ears.

Terry decides that despite the absolute agony that he's in it's time to hit da klllluuuuurrrrrb - party time with the ol' girl-beau.
