In search of answeres about Scarecrow, Little Batman made his way to Arkham Asylum. Bat-Dad reminded him it was reformed into a daycare by his father before he was born. Little Batman reckoned there had to be a place where the villains were kept. Bat-Dad suggested the place next door, a high security prison complex. He made his way to the High Security Wing and entered the room of Inmate 0564, the Joker. Joker noted how quickly they built the prison to put him somewhere. Little Batman had enough small talk and showed him the canister of Fear Toxin. Joker lied he never heard of it. Little Batman cut to the chase and asked him what he wanted. Joker demanded a TV in his room so he could watch all his favorite programs, a Taco Tuesday-type situation at the institute, Riddler had to share some of his puzzles, and the guard's ring of keys.
Little Batman refused all of his requests. Joker admitted he drove a hard bargain but was fine with talking first then negotiating later. He told Little Batman the short version of Scarecrow's origins and how he couldn't scare anyone at first so he developed his Fear Toxin but Batman defeated him, cut off his ingredient supply, and wrangled up all the remaining Fear Toxin. He recalled all the toxin was locked up on a floating barge protected by the Gotham City Police Department. He admitted he tried to steal it a bunch of times but failed. Little Batman wondered how Scarecrow was getting his toxin if it was being guarded. Joker was amused by his naivete and implied the police were in on it. Little Batman asked if that were true, why he was still at Arkham. Joker teased he wouldn't be staying there for long. He laughed as Little Batman left.
