Joker delivers the ultimate in backhanded compliments in his bizarre attempt to woo Vicki to his cause (and his bed!). Will his romantic boombox accompaniment, coupled with ROARING FLAMES, yield success? I couldn't say no, that's for sure! Sadly, Vicki's portfolio is doing very little to inspire Saucy Jack... though he IS rather taken by some horrifying skulls of war. Joining the our dynamic duo on this date investigation is Claire York - punk rockin', archaeology-lovin', Mother of Rats (not bat...

Our mystery man is revealed and he's armed with... a feather? It appears that Grissom DID sign his businesses away to these guys - but with his dead hands, covered in his own blood. IT WAS A HIT!

A new week of Bat Minute '89 brings new questions: Is this location supposed to be an alleyway?!? Why does Vicki think it's perfectly okay to ruin something that seems to mean so much to Bruce?

The Bat Minute Men will attempt to get to bottom of all of this, brooding Bruce and even more as they chat their way through the weeds of Tim Burton's 'Batman'. This week's investigation w...
