    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Out of all the Batman: The Animated Series episodes, this is the only one to ever mention the Joker's (assumed) real name, Jack Napier. In addition, the name appears on the Joker file in Joker's Wild (1992).
    • Goofs
      When the Scarecrow starts the main pump, he checks his watch, which shows 10 after 4. When he again checks his watch, just as Batman arrives, it shows 20 after 3. This may be due to the hands being drawn in the wrong spots.
    • Quotes
      • Batman: Some thought I'd gone mad. Others thought I always had been. And so they put me where they thought I belonged.
