The very last of the Batman parodies. I promise. Except maybe if somebody mentions something I should include in an update of previous entries.

Part of the Batman juggernaut, an afternoon series created by Bruce Timm and Paul Dini influenced more by the movies about the creature of the night than the daytime do-gooder most people knew.

Unlike other versions, this one includes Joker (Mark Hamill), Penguin (Paul Williams), Riddler (John Glover), Catwoman (Adrienne Barbeau), Scarecrow (Henry Polic II), Two Face (Richard Moll), Poison Ivy (Diane Pershing), and the Mad Hatter (Roddy McDowall) all together in the splash panel as Commissioner Gordon (Bob Hastings) confers with Batman (Kevin Conroy) and Robin (Loren Lester).

It also has more Bat-items and relies on the reader being familiar with the Batman mythos, which I'm sure you are too, so not many annotations are necessary.
