Plot
At Arkham Asylum, security has been upgraded and many inmates can be seen but Dr. Penelope Young goes to Joker's cell. He has a session with her and attempts to seduce the doctor in breaking him out, but this fails and she instead leaves. Afterwards, a security guard walks in his cell and shows anger for Joker killing his friend, so he prepares to beat him up and Joker grins. In the inmates' free time, Calendar Man and Harley Quinn are seen talking but a security guard alerts the others that Joker escaped and killed a guard.

Joker is then seen stealing a passing truck and a cop stops the truck in search for Joker, so the clown kills him and escapes with the truck heading to his new hideout; the abandoned Monarch Theater. There, the Clown Prince of Crime is reunited with his henchmen and Mr. Hammer, but reveals the "bad news" he couldn't break out Harley as well. Joker then gets out some blueprints, and reveals his new plan to steal a device that will interfere with planes and helicopters, causing them to crash and will have Gotham give him whatever he wants to stop the device.

A young boy called Jason Todd sneaks into the theater and thugs find him, capturing and bringing him to Joker. Joker shows glee in the boy's appearance and asks him for his name, so he reveals his called Jason Todd. Joker then wants to show Jason how Batman is so overrated and that the crazed clown should be loved. However, Batman is seen listening in and sneakingly takes out some armed thugs.

Batman then smashes through the rooftop on top of a thug and takes down Joker's gang. Joker then flees out of the building with Jason and Batman chases them throughout Gotham until they reach a theme park. Joker holds Jason hostage through the mirror house, but Batman manages to use the mirrors to sneak on the clown and beat him up, but Jason escapes and so does Joker.

Joker then shoots at Batman, causing him to drop his Grapnel Gun without him knowing and the two fight on a rollercoaster. But Joker falls off the rollercoaster and into the sea, so Batman gets off it and believes the clown escaped before going to Jason to help him get out of the area. But Joker returns and holds Batman at gunpoint, so Jason uses the Grapnel Gun to defeat Joker and then steals his pistol to try to kill him, but Batman stops him.

Jason was placed in a school for troubled teens ran by Wayne Industries. Months later, Bruce appeared at his ward and handed him his own Grapnel Gun and a Robin costume, telling him he has one night to impress him and Jason did by taking down five bank robbers and recovering the stolen money. After this, Bruce Wayne was allowed to take Jason as his ward and Jason became the second Robin.
