Batman Cast

Holy Art Attack! Tied to a chair, Bruce Wayne is forced to watch as his chum Robin, strapped to a giant mobile covered with rotating palette knives, is about to be sliced to ribbons. However, the millionaire manages to block the mechanical works using his chair, enabling the Boy Wonder to work himself loose and then use one of the knives to deactivate the mobile. When the Joker and his henchmen return, Bruce and Robin use palette knives to pin them to the wall; a defeated Joker begs Baby Jane for her forgiveness - incredibly, the heiress feels sorry for him, and arranges for his freedom. Having taken the crook back home with her, Baby Jane is delighted when the Clown Prince of Crime suddenly covers her antique table with paint and then instructs his henchmen to chop it into pieces. The impressionable heiress is convinced that her guest has just transformed her table into a work of art, and she immediately decides to allow him to replace the priceless Renaissance art collection in her father's museum wing with the table's painted pieces. This allows the Joker to make off with the entire collection, which he then decides to ransom for the sum of $10,000,000…
