Batman Cast

Holy Treasure Hunts! The Joker is released from Gotham City Prison, and is promptly picked up by Catwoman in her Kittycar. Arriving at a sleazy hotel opposite from Police Headquarters, the Feline Felon shows the Clown Prince of Crime an old parchment with a riddle that shows the location of a hidden cache of gunpowder; this they plan to use to blow open the Federal Depository, enabling them to steal its valuable contents. Before they leave, the two villains decide to alert Batman by shooting at him from a window; tracing the gunfire, the Caped Crusader investigates the hotel room and he discovers the Joker's prison uniform and piece of torn parchment. Batgirl arrives and takes the map fragment, which she soon learns was stolen from the library where she works as Barbara Gordon; having looked up a copy of the parchment on microfilm and solved the riddle, she then arranges to meet Batman and Robin at the home of Little Louie Groovy, who owns the subject of the first clue: a nightshirt. When the Dynamic Duo arrive they catch the Joker and Catwoman trying to steal the nightwear, but the Homicidal Harlequin tricks the Caped Crusader with a hand-buzzer, allowing him and his crooked comrades to make off with their ill-gotten prize…
