THE JOKER’S JOURNAL

At the Gotham State Penitentiary, Joker is assigned as editor of the prison's newspaper, in which he is forced to talk about law's victories over crime. Joker creates the perfect opportunity to escape prison and once he is free again, Joker starts his own criminal newspaper. Batman and Robin attempt to stop the Joker, but the criminal captures Batman and forces him to work in his crime newspaper. Unnoticed to Joker, Batman has been sending clues on the newspaper and after a while, the police finds Joker's hideout and arrest the criminal once more.
