Synopsis for Batman: "A Crime a Day"
When Batman starts giving lectures to the citizens of Gotham and he mocks the Joker, the criminal mastermind uses his cunning to outwit Batman and Robin by committing a crime each day of the week, leaving clues too hard for the Dynamic Duo to solve.
Unable to capture the Joker and after the Batmobile is severely burned by the criminal, Batman starts feeling unworthy and thinks about quitting, but Robin helps him recover and thanks to a lucky event, they can finally solve one of Joker's clues. With knowledge of Joker's next move, Batman and Robin prepare a plan of action and during the heist pulled by the madman, Batman and Robin are finally able to stop and capture the Joker, proving once again that Joker is in fact a fool for leaving clues to his crimes.
