Dick Grayson: Juvenile Delinquent |
In these episodes The Joker is released from prison, and buys a coin-operated machine company that makes things like pinball games, jukeboxes, and beverage and snack dispensers. He rigs the machines at Dick Grayson's high school to dispense money, stocks and bonds instead of milk and candy bars. For instance, insert a dime in the milk machine, and instead of a bottle of milk, you'll get $20 worth of silver dollars. By doing this, The Joker hopes to dissuade the students form studying and working hard, and instead enjoy "easy living" which will eventually lead them to a life of crime. It's up to Batman to convince the students that "nothing in life is free." Meanwhile, Dick Grayson goes undercover as a juvenile delinquent in order to infiltrate The Joker's gang.
