BATMAN: THE JOKER'S HARD TIMES (TV)
Summary
One in this series of comedy adventure programs about the Batman, a crimefighting superhero, and his youthful sidekick Robin. In part two of this three-part episode, after a brief review of part one, "The Zodiac Crimes" (cataloged as T:25336), the Joker continues to commit a string of robberies known as "The Zodiac Crimes," so named because each crime relates to an astrological sign. Having narrowly escaped the Joker's attempt to crush them with a giant meteor, Batman and Robin trail the Joker as he and his companions continue their crime spree. However, the Dynamic Duo are captured once again by the Joker, and Robin ends up in the mouth of a giant and apparently hungry clam. Venus -- a former ally of the Joker who has switched her allegiance to Batman -- and Batman himself are next on the menu. Includes commercials. Continues with T:25338, "The Penguin Declines."
