520    "Faced with overwhelming poverty and a pregnant wife, a 
       tragic, struggling comedian is forced to turn to crime. In
       his first heist, he is immersed in toxic chemicals that 
       disfigure him bizarrely, driving him mad and thus giving 
       birth to The Joker. For years, the Clown Prince of Crime 
       has been caught in a dance of violence with his greatest 
       nemesis, the Batman. Escaping Arkham Asylum, he plots his 
       most lethal caper. This will be the ultimate punch line...
       his killing joke. In their mission to protect Gotham City,
       Batman and Batgirl (Barbara Gordon) pursue ruthless 
       criminals such as the grandiose Maxie Zeus and Antonio 
       "Python" Palmares. Simultaneously, Commissioner James 
       Gordon and Detective Harvey Bullock take on a cartel 
       distributing the latest designer drug--"giggle sniff," 
       derived from a venom created by The Joker"--|cProvided by
