Synopsis for Batman: "The League for Larceny!"
Joker escapes from prison and the news reach Batman and Robin. They drive the Batmobile to the woods near the prison and start looking for the Joker, who has prepared a trap for them. Leaving the duo unconscious, Joker steals the Batmobile and goes to the main part of Gotham City where he joins some low-profile gangsters and starts his new crime spree.
One of Joker's henchmen prepares a distraction and summons every important person in the city, including Commissioner Gordon and Bruce Wayne to a speech about criminology. While the people are at the lecture, Joker and the rest of the henchmen steal from all the houses of the guests, including Wayne Manor. When Bruce returns home, he finds out that Alfred had been tied up by the criminals, but lucky enough the villains didn't discover Bruce's secret laboratory or the Batsuit.
Batman and Robin start following the clues left by the criminals and soon they find the Joker's hideout, where they are ambushed and placed in a deadly trap. Joker ties them to a table and sets free a group of vampire bats in the room, hoping that their venomous bite eliminates the Dynamic Duo. Batman finds a way to break free and the Dynamic Duo finally capture the Joker and his larceny league.
