Batman Cast

Holy Impressionism! The Joker bursts into Park's Gallery and sprays paint over the latest works of artist Oliver Muzzy. Also in the gallery is Alfred, looking for a painting for Bruce Wayne; after he contacts his employer with a tip-off, it is not long before Batman and Robin arrive at the scene. However, Muzzy stuns everyone present by declaring his delight at the Joker's pop art effects, and promptly offers the Clown Prince of Crime a partnership! A few days later, the Joker wins an art contest sponsored by Baby Jane Towser, a rich heiress to the paper-clip fortune. When the comical crook then announces that he has formed his own art school for millionaires only, Bruce Wayne decides to enrol to find out what the villain is up to; he soon gets his answer when the Joker kidnaps the entire class and holds them for ransom…
