E70: Chemical Romance

Chemical Romance is the fifth episode of Batman: Shadow War's season six.

Plot
Batman, Batgirl and Catwoman head to the theme park and Maniax gangsters are seen patrolling while armed, so the trio work together to take them out stealthily. Joker then announces he knows they are here, revealing their positions with spotlights and reveals he indeed has the chemical shipment. Batman demands for the clown to give up the chemicals but the clown claims it's too late for the Dark Knight to stop him.

Batman pursues Joker throughout the park while Catwoman and Batgirl fight his thugs, attempting to catch him in order to prevent Gotham's grim destruction. Though Catwoman and Batgirl are kidnapped by Harley, holding them hostages and Joker gives Batman a choice: sacrifice Gotham or the prisoners. To prevent any tricks, Harley holds Batman at gunpoint. Though James Gordon and some cops arrive in descrete, with Gordon shooting a thug and Harley is distracted, leading Batman to take her down and free the hostages: working with the police to defeat Joker's men but the clown escapes despite gunshots trying to hit his leg.

Joker threatens to destroy Gotham and activates the bomb after a cop attempts to shoot him, ready to explode to massively destroy Gotham and kill thousands but the trio fight Joker, who nearly kills Batgirl with a crowbar but Batman stops him and the police disarm the bomb. Joker is ultimately defeated, coldly admitting to murdering his body double for "squealing" as well as the park's staff, saying that Batman letting him to continue living will cause more deaths, tempting Batman to execute him. Despite this, Batman watches as Joker is arrested and sent to Arkham Asylum.
