Joe Potato was a licensed Private Investigator in Gotham City.

This position led him to work with Batman on several occasions,[1] and the two have a good relationship.

After their first collaboration, Potato worked with Batman once again to bring down a white slave trade organization in Gotham City, assisted by Sergeant Sarah Essen, Vicki Vale and Catwoman.[2][3]

Later on, Joe was hired to investigate a con artist posing as a prophet of doom, unaware that his employer was the villain known as Anarky. During the investigation, Joe was captured by the con artist and tied to a massive zeppelin loaded with explosives and he was saved by Anarky, Batman and Robin.[4] [5]
