Story[]
As Robin fixes the Batcopter in the Batcave, he calls for Alfred to bring a bomb, but Robin asks him to bring a bigger bomb, so Alfred brings another bomb and Robin doesn't accept it again. Meanwhile, Batman checks the Batcomputer for a purple cape, but upon receiving a distress signal, Batman looks through a satellite and discovers that the Joker and his goons have stolen items from ACE Chemicals. Batman hops on his Batwing and heads there. Robin gets on the Batcopter with an atomic bomb, but the bomb falls into the Batcave, although it does not explode, Alfred passes out. The heroes head to ACE Chemicals, where they find the Mad Hatter there. When they manage to defeat him in battle, Batman hits his hat to blind him. The heroes leave ACE Chemicals to see the Joker in his helicopter. The Mad Hatter is taken to Arkham Asylum.
