00:00:07,373 --> 00:00:11,209
(male narrator)
A picturesque day
in Gotham City.
2
00:00:11,211 --> 00:00:14,078
Even more picturesque
than usual.
3
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,314
And in one of the many
picturesque art galleries
4
00:00:17,316 --> 00:00:21,384
where culture loving
Gothamites gather..
5
00:00:21,518 --> 00:00:24,386
[instrumental music]
6
00:00:25,054 --> 00:00:28,256
Are you interested
in purchasing the painting, sir?
7
00:00:28,258 --> 00:00:29,056
Not for myself.
8
00:00:29,058 --> 00:00:31,024
But my employer,
millionaire Bruce Wayne
9
00:00:31,026 --> 00:00:33,693
is very interested in
acquiring an original Muzzy.
10
00:00:33,695 --> 00:00:37,163
Oh, you don't say. Well,
perhaps you'd like to meet
11
00:00:37,165 --> 00:00:38,297
the artist himself.
12
00:00:38,299 --> 00:00:39,631
It would be a pleasure.
13
00:00:39,633 --> 00:00:42,667
No sooner said than done.
14
00:00:42,669 --> 00:00:44,502
This way, please.
15
00:00:47,539 --> 00:00:49,540
- Mister..
- Alfred will do.
16
00:00:49,542 --> 00:00:53,043
Mr. Alfred, allow me to
present Mr. Oliver Muzzy
17
00:00:53,045 --> 00:00:54,778
beloved American artist.
18
00:00:54,780 --> 00:00:58,815
It's an honor.
19
00:00:58,817 --> 00:01:01,517
Hey! This is an outrage!
20
00:01:01,519 --> 00:01:03,352
An outrage against art.
21
00:01:03,354 --> 00:01:05,754
An insult, I say.
22
00:01:05,756 --> 00:01:07,722
[laughing]
23
00:01:07,724 --> 00:01:10,591
Ugliness, monstrosity.
24
00:01:10,593 --> 00:01:13,327
Ugh, horribility.
25
00:01:13,329 --> 00:01:15,195
Ah, and look at that.
26
00:01:15,197 --> 00:01:16,629
(Joker)
'You call that art?'
27
00:01:16,631 --> 00:01:19,665
And this thing. Argh!
Disgusting!
28
00:01:19,667 --> 00:01:23,435
Ho, ho, ho! And this,
worse and worse.
29
00:01:23,437 --> 00:01:26,371
Oh, this ugliness
must be destroyed.
30
00:01:26,373 --> 00:01:28,740
Ha, ha! Down with ugliness.
31
00:01:28,742 --> 00:01:31,142
Away with dullness.
32
00:01:31,144 --> 00:01:33,477
[Joker laughing]
33
00:01:33,479 --> 00:01:36,546
Take this, take this.
And that.
34
00:01:36,548 --> 00:01:39,682
[laughing]
35
00:01:41,117 --> 00:01:43,551
[intense music]
36
00:01:43,553 --> 00:01:45,586
(Joker)
'Take that!'
37
00:01:48,156 --> 00:01:50,657
[Joker laughing]
38
00:01:54,328 --> 00:01:55,294
Fiend, monster.
39
00:01:55,296 --> 00:01:58,297
I'd appreciate your mentioning
it to Mr. Wayne at once.
40
00:01:58,299 --> 00:02:01,233
Alright, Alfred,
I'll tell him right away.
41
00:02:01,235 --> 00:02:02,434
Thank you, ma'am.
42
00:02:02,436 --> 00:02:03,435
[laughing]
43
00:02:03,437 --> 00:02:07,205
Ah, take that, take that,
and that!
44
00:02:07,207 --> 00:02:10,241
[Joker laughing]
45
00:02:10,542 --> 00:02:12,509
- Aunt Harriet.
- Oh, Bruce.
46
00:02:12,511 --> 00:02:14,644
Alfred just called
from the Park Gallery.
47
00:02:14,646 --> 00:02:18,748
He's found a painting he thinks
you'll be very interested in.
48
00:02:18,750 --> 00:02:22,451
It's called, uh,
"The laughing man".
49
00:02:22,453 --> 00:02:24,352
Well, that sounds very
interesting, Aunt Harriet.
50
00:02:24,354 --> 00:02:27,488
I think that we'll go
and have a look at it.
51
00:02:27,490 --> 00:02:30,657
Oh, I do hope
you like it, Bruce.
52
00:02:30,659 --> 00:02:33,126
[intense music]
53
00:02:33,128 --> 00:02:34,160
"The laughing man."
54
00:02:34,162 --> 00:02:36,495
That's Alfred's way of saying
one of Gotham City's
55
00:02:36,497 --> 00:02:39,464
arch villains is at
Park Gallery right now.
56
00:02:39,466 --> 00:02:40,264
Holy tip-off, Joker!
57
00:02:40,266 --> 00:02:43,166
Exactly, and I think you better
continue your education
58
00:02:43,168 --> 00:02:46,636
at the Park Gallery
as Robin.
59
00:02:46,638 --> 00:02:48,671
To the Bat-poles.
60
00:02:49,239 --> 00:02:50,505
[intense music]
61
00:02:50,507 --> 00:02:51,606
What happened
to the signs, Bruce?
62
00:02:51,608 --> 00:02:55,276
Alfred removed them to put
new paint on the Bat-poles.
63
00:02:55,278 --> 00:02:57,378
Good old Alfred.
64
00:02:59,214 --> 00:03:02,649

Batman! Thank heavens!
81
00:04:38,632 --> 00:04:40,665
Stay back,
you caped crook heads.
82
00:04:40,667 --> 00:04:43,367
Or I'll turn you into
a paisley shawl.
83
00:04:43,369 --> 00:04:44,735
From the stains
on your gun barrel
84
00:04:44,737 --> 00:04:50,841
I'd say you're using
very soft bullets these days.
85

[Joker grunting]
86
00:04:58,482 --> 00:05:02,351
Oh! Internal injuries.
87
00:05:02,353 --> 00:05:03,685
I'm going to die.
88
00:05:03,687 --> 00:05:05,787
I hope you do,
you finagling fiend.
89
00:05:05,789 --> 00:05:08,623
Batman, did you see
what he did to the pictures?
90
00:05:08,625 --> 00:05:11,525
Priceless works of art
destroyed forever.
91
00:05:11,527 --> 00:05:13,793
Think of the loss
to posterity.
92
00:05:13,795 --> 00:05:15,828
And the loss to my profits.
93
00:05:15,830 --> 00:05:17,996
Yes, the damage
is irreparable.
94
00:05:17,998 --> 00:05:19,497
But you can be
sure the Joker
95
00:05:19,499 --> 00:05:21,866
'won't be doing any decorating
for a long time.'
96
00:05:21,868 --> 00:05:25,703
He's destroyed the work of
America's most beloved artist.
97
00:05:25,705 --> 00:05:27,905
Shut up,
you bubbling buffoon!
98
00:05:27,907 --> 00:05:31,842
I have been trying to paint
this modern stuff for years.
99
00:05:31,844 --> 00:05:33,643
I could never get
the hang of it.
100
00:05:33,645 --> 00:05:38,648
All I could ever draw
is stupid looking farm boys.
101
00:05:38,650 --> 00:05:40,349
(Oliver)
And puppy dogs.
102
00:05:40,351 --> 00:05:43,952
Now this, this is art.
103
00:05:43,954 --> 00:05:47,956
Mr. Joker,
let me congratulate you.
104
00:05:47,958 --> 00:05:49,891
Your work is magnificent!
105
00:05:49,893 --> 00:05:50,892
[popping]
106
00:05:50,894 --> 00:05:52,293
Holy hoaxes!
107
00:05:52,295 --> 00:05:54,895
Ha, ha, ha!
Oh, well..
108
00:05:54,897 --> 00:05:58,298
Excuse my appearance,
Mr. Muzzy, but..
109
00:05:58,300 --> 00:06:03,569
These uncultured boobs have
no appreciation for fine art.
110
00:06:03,571 --> 00:06:05,504
Obviously! By the way, Mr. Joker
111
00:06:05,506 --> 00:06:10,475
would you consider sharing
the credits for those paintings?
112
00:06:10,477 --> 00:06:13,744
After all, mine are underneath.
113
00:06:13,746 --> 00:06:16,980
Oh, why not?
A 50-50 split.
114
00:06:16,982 --> 00:06:19,515
I mean, co-authorship.
115
00:06:19,517 --> 00:06:23,485
Oh, thank you!
Thank you!
116
00:06:23,487 --> 00:06:25,753
Peasant. Philistine!
117
00:06:25,755 --> 00:06:29,623
Well, what can you expect
from a man who appears in public
118
00:06:29,625 --> 00:06:31,992
in such a ridiculous outfit?
119
00:06:31,994 --> 00:06:34,761
[laughing]
120
00:06:34,763 --> 00:06:35,795
There, Batman.
121
00:06:35,797 --> 00:06:40,599
Now you're wearing an original
Joker, signed by the artist.
122
00:06:40,601 --> 00:06:45,637
Come, boys, let's leave this zoo
full of bourgeois baboons.
123
00:06:45,639 --> 00:06:51,609
And henceforth, Batman,
stay out of art galleries. Hmm?
124
00:06:51,611 --> 00:06:54,578
[laughing]
125
00:06:56,380 --> 00:06:59,482
Are we just going
to let him walk out of here?
126
00:06:59,484 --> 00:07:02,418
We've no choice, Robin.
He's committed no crime.
127
00:07:02,420 --> 00:07:04,119
As a matter of fact,
he's increased
128
00:07:04,121 --> 00:07:05,720
the value of these paintings.
129
00:07:05,722 --> 00:07:10,691
I think we should discuss
this with Commissioner Gordon.
130
00:07:10,693 --> 00:07:12,459
The nerve of that clown.
131
00:07:12,461 --> 00:07:13,426
Paint all over your shirt.
132
00:07:13,428 --> 00:07:17,496
(Gordon)
'Batman, you should've
cracked his paint for him.'
133
00:07:17,498 --> 00:07:20,799
His damage to me
is unimportant, Chief O'Hara.
134
00:07:20,801 --> 00:07:25,670
What concerns us is his
potential damage to Gotham City.
135
00:07:25,672 --> 00:07:28,472
I'm sure Joker
has some larger scheme
136
00:07:28,474 --> 00:07:30,974
of which this
is only the first step.
137
00:07:30,976 --> 00:07:31,874
You're right, Batman.
138
00:07:31,876 --> 00:07:35,811
That crook has something up
his sleeve besides his elbow.
139
00:07:35,813 --> 00:07:37,779
I'd suggest putting
some extra guards
140
00:07:37,781 --> 00:07:39,013
at all the museums,
commissioner.
141
00:07:39,015 --> 00:07:41,682
What about some of the valuable
private collections?
142
00:07:41,684 --> 00:07:42,816
(Gordon)
'Right, Boy Wonder.'
143
00:07:42,818 --> 00:07:45,618
You keep him under close
surveillance, Chief O'Hara.
144
00:07:45,620 --> 00:07:48,787
I'll watch over them like
a mother hen, commissioner.
145
00:07:48,789 --> 00:07:53,525
That's about all we can do
until Joker makes some move.
146
00:07:53,527 --> 00:07:55,927
To the Bat-cave, Robin.
147
00:07:56,762 --> 00:08:00,397
Sorry about not having
a clean costume, sir.
148
00:08:00,399 --> 00:08:01,664
I meant to wash them, but..
149
00:08:01,666 --> 00:08:05,134
...I've been so busy trying to
get the Bat-poles repainted.
150
00:08:05,136 --> 00:08:06,401
First things first, Alfred.
151
00:08:06,403 --> 00:08:08,803
Batman, there's an
interesting notice
152
00:08:08,805 --> 00:08:12,940
in the current issue
of the Gotham City Art News.
153
00:08:12,942 --> 00:08:13,607
Hmm.
154
00:08:13,609 --> 00:08:16,943
[Bat-phone beeping]
That is interesting.
155
00:08:16,945 --> 00:08:19,679
- Yes, commissioner.
- A bit of news, Batman.
156
00:08:19,681 --> 00:08:21,714
Believe it or not,
the Joker's been invited
157
00:08:21,716 --> 00:08:24,616
to enter the Gotham City
International Art Contest.
158
00:08:24,618 --> 00:08:26,751
Yes, I just found out
about it myself.
159
00:08:26,753 --> 00:08:31,188
I plan to have 50 plain clothes
men at the contest, Batman.
160
00:08:31,190 --> 00:08:34,624
That's likely to put Joker
on his guard, Commissioner.
161
00:08:34,626 --> 00:08:37,994
Perhaps it would be wiser
to put just one man there.
162
00:08:37,996 --> 00:08:41,731
Preferably a man who knows
Baby Jane Towser.
163
00:08:41,733 --> 00:08:45,601
The wealthy young socialite
who organized the contest.
164
00:08:45,603 --> 00:08:47,769
Yes. I got it!
165
00:08:47,771 --> 00:08:50,538
Bruce Wayne,
the millionaire philanthropist.
166
00:08:50,540 --> 00:08:52,606
He's cooperated with us
many times in the past.
167
00:08:52,608 --> 00:08:55,942
He travels in the same social
circles as Baby Jane Towser.
168
00:08:55,944 --> 00:08:57,810
Excellent idea, commissioner.
169
00:08:57,812 --> 00:09:00,679
I suggest that you call
Mr. Wayne immediately
170
00:09:00,681 --> 00:09:02,914
and apprise him
of the situation.
171
00:09:02,916 --> 00:09:04,649
Right, Batman.
172
00:09:04,651 --> 00:09:07,585
[intense music]
173
00:09:09,154 --> 00:09:10,521
Why..
174
00:09:10,523 --> 00:09:13,056
...is Joker
entering that contest?
175
00:09:13,058 --> 00:09:17,226
Especially since they're
not offering a cash prize.
176
00:09:21,965 --> 00:09:23,899
[intense music]
177
00:09:23,901 --> 00:09:29,104
And so, the next day,
at the Gotham City Art Center..
178
00:09:29,238 --> 00:09:31,172
Ladies and gentlemen,
before we begin
179
00:09:31,174 --> 00:09:33,574
Gotham City's
International Art Contest
180
00:09:33,576 --> 00:09:37,244
I'd like to introduce
the five world famous artists
181
00:09:37,246 --> 00:09:39,045
who are competing.
182
00:09:39,047 --> 00:09:41,113
The renowned Spanish artist
183
00:09:41,115 --> 00:09:44,082
well known for his
Pink in Blue periods
184
00:09:44,084 --> 00:09:46,250
Mr. Pablo Pincus.
185
00:09:46,252 --> 00:09:49,253
[applause]
186
00:09:50,154 --> 00:09:51,622
I'm sure you all know
187
00:09:51,624 --> 00:09:55,158
our American artist,
Mr. Jackson Potluck.
188
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,161
[applause]
189
00:09:59,062 --> 00:10:00,896
The noted Italian artist
190
00:10:00,898 --> 00:10:06,968
painter of the world famous
fresco, "Midnight Snack"
191
00:10:06,970 --> 00:10:09,203
Leonardo Da Vinsci.
192
00:10:09,205 --> 00:10:12,105
[applause]
193
00:10:13,974 --> 00:10:15,641
And the Dutch artist
194
00:10:15,643 --> 00:10:19,344
founder of
the Neo Gaiman School of Art
195
00:10:19,346 --> 00:10:22,380
Mr. Vincent Van Gosh!
196
00:10:22,382 --> 00:10:25,316
[applause]
197
00:10:26,351 --> 00:10:29,920
And now, finally,
Gotham City's own entry
198
00:10:29,922 --> 00:10:33,890
in the art contest,
the Joker!
199
00:10:33,892 --> 00:10:36,792
[applause]
200
00:10:37,026 --> 00:10:38,326
[laughing]
201
00:10:38,328 --> 00:10:40,928
How can they clap
for that crook?
202
00:10:40,930 --> 00:10:43,630
Don't forget, Dick,
this is a home town crowd
203
00:10:43,632 --> 00:10:45,665
and Joker's
from Gotham City.
204
00:10:45,667 --> 00:10:47,166
Hmm.
205
00:10:47,300 --> 00:10:50,902
The artist's have three minutes
to complete a painting.
206
00:10:50,904 --> 00:10:55,039
At the end of that time,
the judges will select a winner
207
00:10:55,041 --> 00:10:57,775
and award the grand prize.
208
00:10:57,777 --> 00:10:59,109
Ready, artists?
209
00:10:59,111 --> 00:11:03,780
On your mark, get set..
210
00:11:03,782 --> 00:11:05,648
[gunshot]
211
00:11:05,650 --> 00:11:09,118
[instrumental music]
212
00:11:18,361 --> 00:11:21,696
[speaking in foreign language]
213
00:11:24,733 --> 00:11:28,235
[music continues]
214
00:11:34,675 --> 00:11:38,144
[speaking in foreign language]
215
00:11:46,453 --> 00:11:50,189
[audience laughing]
216
00:11:54,928 --> 00:11:58,797
Modern art tends to be
rather unrestrained, Dick.
217
00:11:58,799 --> 00:11:59,798
- Unrestrained?
- Yes.
218
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,433
Governor Stone Feller
should declare this place
219
00:12:02,435 --> 00:12:05,035
a disaster area.
220
00:12:06,237 --> 00:12:08,371
Isn't it magnificent?
221
00:12:08,373 --> 00:12:10,106
Glorious.
222
00:12:11,007 --> 00:12:14,209
[instrumental music]
223
00:12:18,414 --> 00:12:21,816
[speaking in foreign language]
224
00:12:31,993 --> 00:12:34,761
[Joker laughing]
225
00:12:35,162 --> 00:12:36,762
Joker, the time
is almost up
226
00:12:36,764 --> 00:12:38,897
and you haven't
started your painting.
227
00:12:38,899 --> 00:12:41,299
Started? My dear,
I'm almost finished.
228
00:12:41,301 --> 00:12:43,901
Oh, yes.
Every line in place.
229
00:12:43,903 --> 00:12:45,335
Every color balanced.
230
00:12:45,337 --> 00:12:48,838
Just needs
one more little touch.
231
00:12:52,142 --> 00:12:55,377
Ooh! Ah! Voila.
232
00:13:01,083 --> 00:13:01,982
[gunshot]
233
00:13:01,984 --> 00:13:04,818
Now, gentlemen, let us
consider the works
234
00:13:04,820 --> 00:13:07,520
'of these marvelous artists.'
235
00:13:09,489 --> 00:13:11,923
Interesting use of color.
236
00:13:15,427 --> 00:13:19,897
A fine example
of Neo-realism.
237
00:13:25,837 --> 00:13:29,940
Ah, excellent
harmonic composition.
238
00:13:38,849 --> 00:13:41,517
A fine study in abstract.
239
00:13:51,995 --> 00:13:54,062
What is that?
240
00:13:54,064 --> 00:13:59,467
My painting is titled
"Death Of A Mauve Bat."
241
00:13:59,469 --> 00:14:00,968
Where is the bat?
242
00:14:00,970 --> 00:14:02,836
Well, the bat,
gentlemen, is dead.
243
00:14:02,838 --> 00:14:06,806
It died in 1936,
a very bad year for bats.
244
00:14:06,808 --> 00:14:09,575
Of course,
the bat is dead.
245
00:14:09,577 --> 00:14:11,176
It's symbolic.
246
00:14:11,178 --> 00:14:12,844
'Symbolic of what?'
247
00:14:12,846 --> 00:14:16,247
The emptiness of modern life.
What else?
248
00:14:16,249 --> 00:14:19,250
Gentlemen,
come with me.
249
00:14:22,187 --> 00:14:24,821
There's absolutely no doubt
about who the winner is.
250
00:14:24,823 --> 00:14:26,889
I kind of like
what the monkey did.
251
00:14:26,891 --> 00:14:29,892
I think our decision
should be unanimous.
252
00:14:29,894 --> 00:14:32,895
Ladies and gentlemen,
I'm very pleased to announce
253
00:14:32,897 --> 00:14:37,099
that the winner of the Gotham
City International Art Contest
254
00:14:37,101 --> 00:14:39,534
is...the Joker!
255
00:14:39,536 --> 00:14:43,204
[audience applause]
256
00:14:43,905 --> 00:14:46,873
[Joker laughing]
257
00:14:48,408 --> 00:14:51,543
Joker's painting
"Death Of A Mauve Bat"
258
00:14:51,545 --> 00:14:57,448
will hang in an honored place
in the Gotham City Museum.
259
00:14:57,982 --> 00:15:01,084
[applause]
260
00:15:01,385 --> 00:15:03,352
[monkey screeching]
261
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:05,287
I don't believe it, Bruce.
262
00:15:05,289 --> 00:15:07,589
As the winner,
I would like to announce
263
00:15:07,591 --> 00:15:09,023
the opening of a new school
264
00:15:09,025 --> 00:15:11,191
for aspiring artists
where I personally
265
00:15:11,193 --> 00:15:14,460
will instruct my students
in the secrets of modern art.
266
00:15:14,462 --> 00:15:18,030
Mm-hmm. Yes, applications
for the Joker Art Institute
267
00:15:18,032 --> 00:15:21,867
are now being accepted
by my assistants.
268
00:15:22,401 --> 00:15:24,168
[indistinct chattering]
269
00:15:24,969 --> 00:15:29,305
Ah-ah, sorry,
millionaires only, please.
270
00:15:29,973 --> 00:15:33,408
I wanna be the very first
student in your art school
271
00:15:33,410 --> 00:15:35,443
you big hunka genius, you.
272
00:15:35,445 --> 00:15:37,511
Well, of course, my dear.
273
00:15:37,513 --> 00:15:39,946
Your filthy rich daddy
is several times
274
00:15:39,948 --> 00:15:40,913
a millionaire, I believe.
275
00:15:40,915 --> 00:15:44,516
Oh, yes! I'm the heiress to
the Paperclip fortune, you know.
276
00:15:44,518 --> 00:15:48,286
Oh, well, sign
right here, please.
277
00:15:48,288 --> 00:15:51,489
I begin to see Joker's plan.
He wins the contest
278
00:15:51,491 --> 00:15:53,157
so he can start an art school.
279
00:15:53,159 --> 00:15:54,992
In which, he enrolls
only millionaires.
280
00:15:54,994 --> 00:15:57,260
In which case, he shall
welcome millionaire
281
00:15:57,262 --> 00:15:59,228
Bruce Wayne as his student.
282
00:15:59,230 --> 00:16:01,964
[indistinct chattering]
283
00:16:02,966 --> 00:16:06,034
Joker, I'd like to enroll
in your new art institute.
284
00:16:06,036 --> 00:16:08,436
Well, if it isn't millionaire,
Bruce Wayne.
285
00:16:08,438 --> 00:16:10,070
The wealthy philanthropist.
286
00:16:10,072 --> 00:16:11,504
Consider yourself enrolled.
287
00:16:11,506 --> 00:16:15,207
Aren't you going to give a test,
see whether I have any talent?
288
00:16:15,209 --> 00:16:18,610
The rich, the well born
and the able, Mr. Wayne
289
00:16:18,612 --> 00:16:22,213
all have talent.
Especially the rich.
290
00:16:22,215 --> 00:16:24,582
[instrumental music]
291
00:16:29,521 --> 00:16:33,123
We're getting a good strong
signal from that homing device
292
00:16:33,125 --> 00:16:34,157
Bruce has in his pocket.
293
00:16:34,159 --> 00:16:38,694
The Bat-radar scope indicates,
that he's at location Rip 4-7-8.
294
00:16:38,696 --> 00:16:41,463
Please check that on
the Bat-computer, Alfred.
295
00:16:41,465 --> 00:16:43,631
Very good.
296
00:16:43,633 --> 00:16:45,332
[computer dinging]
297
00:16:45,334 --> 00:16:50,270
Location Rip 4-7-8 is
a building on Eleanor Place.
298
00:16:50,404 --> 00:16:53,139
Bruce is carrying a miniature
Bat-communicator
299
00:16:53,141 --> 00:16:54,340
under his jacket lapel.
300
00:16:54,342 --> 00:16:56,608
He'll let us know
if Joker tries anything.
301
00:16:56,610 --> 00:17:00,211
(Joker)
'Good morning, dear students,
good morning, my.'
302
00:17:00,213 --> 00:17:04,048
But it's good to see you all
working so diligently.
303
00:17:04,050 --> 00:17:04,948
[laughing]
304
00:17:04,950 --> 00:17:08,184
We are a happy,
cheery group, aren't we?
305
00:17:08,186 --> 00:17:12,054
Oh, today's lesson,
is in still life sculpture.
306
00:17:12,056 --> 00:17:16,291
I shall walk around you
and give you my criticism
307
00:17:16,293 --> 00:17:17,358
as you work.
308
00:17:17,360 --> 00:17:18,359
[laughing]
309
00:17:18,361 --> 00:17:20,160
Very good, Mrs. Putney.
Very good.
310
00:17:20,162 --> 00:17:23,463
Oh! But this orange
is not quite not right.
311
00:17:23,465 --> 00:17:28,267
Oh, Joker, that's not
an orange, it's a pear.
312
00:17:28,269 --> 00:17:32,437
Oh! But, of course,
Mrs. Putney, of course.
313
00:17:32,439 --> 00:17:34,305
Well, keep up the good work.
314
00:17:34,307 --> 00:17:36,674
[laughing]
315
00:17:37,008 --> 00:17:42,412
Well, you're making splendid
progress, Mrs. Van Dorma.
316
00:17:42,414 --> 00:17:43,679
Ew!
317
00:17:43,681 --> 00:17:47,482
Oh, yes, now, stick to it.
Stick to it.
318
00:17:49,017 --> 00:17:53,487
Well, now, barbwire is
the medium of the future.
319
00:17:53,489 --> 00:17:57,057
But that is no way
to make a banana.
320
00:17:59,527 --> 00:18:02,228
Now, that is a banana.
321
00:18:05,131 --> 00:18:08,299
Baby Jane? Baby Jane.
322
00:18:09,501 --> 00:18:13,470
- How do you like my work?
- Oh, fine, first rate.
323
00:18:13,472 --> 00:18:15,572
Fruitiest sculpture, I ever saw.
324
00:18:15,574 --> 00:18:20,376
But I'm not sculpting the fruit.
I'm sculpting you.
325
00:18:20,378 --> 00:18:21,443
Me?
326
00:18:21,445 --> 00:18:22,544
Didn't you recognize it?
327
00:18:22,546 --> 00:18:25,580
Oh! But of course,
I recognize it.
328
00:18:25,582 --> 00:18:29,617
I just didn't realize
I was so handsome.
329
00:18:34,122 --> 00:18:35,455
Eww!
330
00:18:35,457 --> 00:18:37,356
Well, that's terrible!
331
00:18:37,358 --> 00:18:38,223
Terrible, Wayne.
332
00:18:38,225 --> 00:18:41,693
Why, even a three year old
can do better than that.
333
00:18:41,695 --> 00:18:43,695
Here, let me show you.
334
00:18:49,501 --> 00:18:51,535
Ah, there, that's more like it.
335
00:18:51,537 --> 00:18:56,039
Yes, I see what you mean, that's
the level of a three year old.
336
00:18:56,041 --> 00:18:59,142
I do the jokes
around here, Wayne.
337
00:18:59,144 --> 00:19:02,078
I'd say, that was one
of your better ones.
338
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,480
Oh-ho, you're very funny, Wayne.
339
00:19:04,482 --> 00:19:05,781
[laughing]
340
00:19:05,783 --> 00:19:08,416
But the jokes on you.
341
00:19:10,819 --> 00:19:12,152
Come in, boys.
342
00:19:12,154 --> 00:19:15,688
[instrumental music]
343
00:19:16,222 --> 00:19:20,058
No heroics, Wayne.
Or the women might get hurt.
344
00:19:20,060 --> 00:19:22,160
I should have known
someone like you
345
00:19:22,162 --> 00:19:24,829
would hide behind the women.
346
00:19:24,831 --> 00:19:26,230
Joker, how could you?
347
00:19:26,232 --> 00:19:27,397
(Joker)
'Ah, tut-tut, my dear.'
348
00:19:27,399 --> 00:19:30,700
We artists should not be judged
by ordinary standards.
349
00:19:30,702 --> 00:19:33,569
We're a very special breed.
350
00:19:33,571 --> 00:19:34,837
You're a special breed, alright.
351
00:19:34,839 --> 00:19:39,908
Ah! Button your lip, Wayne or
you'll buttoning your shroud.
352
00:19:39,910 --> 00:19:42,443
You'll all be happy
to learn the ransom notes
353
00:19:42,445 --> 00:19:43,944
have already been
sent to your families.
354
00:19:43,946 --> 00:19:46,713
'You each own a valuable
renaissance art collection'
355
00:19:46,715 --> 00:19:52,385
which will be delivered to me,
in exchange for your lives.
356
00:19:52,387 --> 00:19:54,620
[laughing]
357
00:19:54,754 --> 00:19:56,387
Tie them up.
358
00:19:57,922 --> 00:20:01,658
Something's wrong, Alfred. It's
not like Joker to go this long
359
00:20:01,660 --> 00:20:04,427
without trying some
under handed trick.
360
00:20:04,429 --> 00:20:06,762
[Bat-phone ringing]
361
00:20:06,764 --> 00:20:08,430
- Yes, commissioner.
- 'Ah, Boy Wonder.'
362
00:20:08,432 --> 00:20:12,667
I'm afraid, we've put our friend
Bruce Wayne in terrible danger.
363
00:20:12,669 --> 00:20:15,569
Joker's kidnapped the art class
and sent out ransom notes
364
00:20:15,571 --> 00:20:18,338
and we don't know
where he's holding them.
365
00:20:18,340 --> 00:20:19,339
Holy hostage!
366
00:20:19,341 --> 00:20:21,374
I think Batman
and I can find him.
367
00:20:21,376 --> 00:20:22,942
- 'Will you need help?'
- We can handle it.
368
00:20:22,944 --> 00:20:26,979
If the police show up,
innocent people might be hurt.
369
00:20:27,313 --> 00:20:29,380
Something must have
happened to Bruce's
370
00:20:29,382 --> 00:20:31,281
Bat-communicator, Alfred.
371
00:20:31,283 --> 00:20:33,616
I better get down to
Joker's studio right away.
372
00:20:33,618 --> 00:20:35,451
Stay here and watch
the Bat-radar scope
373
00:20:35,453 --> 00:20:37,553
in case Joker moves
while I'm en route.
374
00:20:37,555 --> 00:20:38,820
I'll take the emergency
Bat-tunnel.
375
00:20:38,822 --> 00:20:44,258
It comes out on highway one, I
can catch a bus to Gotham City.
376
00:20:44,392 --> 00:20:46,693
Your families had better
send the loot pretty soon.
377
00:20:46,695 --> 00:20:50,697
Or you'll all find yourselves
at the bottom of the river.
378
00:20:50,699 --> 00:20:51,431
Even me, Joker?
379
00:20:51,433 --> 00:20:55,802
Ah, I'm sorry, my dear,
but business is business.
380
00:20:57,337 --> 00:20:59,371
Hmm, and for you, Wayne.
381
00:20:59,373 --> 00:21:01,506
I hope your family
doesn't deliver.
382
00:21:01,508 --> 00:21:04,742
I'd enjoy dropping
you in the drink.
383
00:21:04,744 --> 00:21:07,411
I hope you're better at that
than you're at painting.
384
00:21:07,413 --> 00:21:10,747
Oh, you go too far, Wayne.
You go too far!
385
00:21:10,749 --> 00:21:12,982
- Joker!
- What?
386
00:21:14,017 --> 00:21:16,618
[intense music]
387
00:21:30,566 --> 00:21:34,268
[music continues]
388
00:22:11,806 --> 00:22:14,908
[music continues]
389
00:22:14,910 --> 00:22:17,510
[Joker cackling]
390
00:22:26,453 --> 00:22:27,085
Oh-ho!
391
00:22:27,087 --> 00:22:29,020
The nerve of
that rich smart alec.
392
00:22:29,022 --> 00:22:30,855
Thinking he could
match wits with me!
393
00:22:30,857 --> 00:22:33,490
- The Joker!
- Why ain't Batman here, Joker?
394
00:22:33,492 --> 00:22:35,725
Because he's afraid
of me, you dolt.
395
00:22:35,727 --> 00:22:39,628
I knew the day would come when
his spine'd turn to Bat-jelly.
396
00:22:39,630 --> 00:22:43,832
I'm only sorry, he isn't here
to enjoy a special surprise
397
00:22:43,834 --> 00:22:45,934
I cooked up for him. Yes!
398
00:22:45,936 --> 00:22:48,336
But Bruce Wayne will
do as a substitute.
399
00:22:48,338 --> 00:22:52,540
I'm beginning to dislike
him as much as Batman.
400
00:22:55,010 --> 00:22:58,045
My newest artistic creation.
401
00:22:58,047 --> 00:22:59,346
"The mobile."
402
00:22:59,348 --> 00:23:00,513
[laughing]
403
00:23:00,515 --> 00:23:05,951
Too bad, that chicken hearted
Batman isn't here to die on it.
404
00:23:05,953 --> 00:23:09,354
Batman is no more afraid
of you than he is a flake.
405
00:23:09,356 --> 00:23:11,923
And I know Batman well
enough to sure of it.
406
00:23:11,925 --> 00:23:14,592
Ah! No, he was trying
to alibi for him.
407
00:23:14,594 --> 00:23:18,429
The Caped Crusader
has turned cowled coward.
408
00:23:18,431 --> 00:23:18,962
'Yes!'
409
00:23:18,964 --> 00:23:24,000
And you'll soon discover, that
"The Mobile" is very mobile.
410
00:23:24,002 --> 00:23:25,835
Yes, as soon as I leave here
411
00:23:25,837 --> 00:23:29,638
I will activate a motor
that will start it rotating.
412
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,773
Yes! Let's see how
long you can dodge
413
00:23:31,775 --> 00:23:37,111
these razor sharp palette
knifes, Boy Bumpkin.
414
00:23:37,113 --> 00:23:39,680
[cackling]
415
00:23:51,592 --> 00:23:54,994
Holy hamburger, I'll be cut
to pieces by these blades.
416
00:23:54,996 --> 00:23:59,531
Stay with it, old chum. While
I try to loosen these ropes.
417
00:23:59,533 --> 00:24:00,932
[groaning]
418
00:24:05,170 --> 00:24:09,873
But, by the time you're free,
there'll be nothing left of me.
419
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,708
Robin diced to driblets?
420
00:24:12,710 --> 00:24:14,810
Batman certainly
can't help him.
421
00:24:14,812 --> 00:24:19,181
Will the Joker go free to
practice the art of crime?
422
00:24:19,183 --> 00:24:21,850
And make a crime of art?
423
00:24:21,852 --> 00:24:23,051
Find out tomorrow.
424
00:24:23,053 --> 00:24:27,922
Same Bat-time.
Same Bat-channel!
425
00:24:32,494 --> 00:24:34,728
