Camp Crusaders! - The Joker Goes to School / He Meets his Match, the Grisly Ghoul

Batman, Season One, Episodes 15-16

Personal Rating: A
Rigged milk machines, corrupt cheerleaders, and Dick Grayson’s faux dark side.  What’s not to like?

Villain Spotlight:
The Joker’s appearance at Dick’s high school is pretty awesome.  Batman threatens him with five years in prison for loitering on school property!  What kind of police state is Gotham City running?

Social Commentary:
The students are Woodrow Roosevelt High are quickly corrupted when free money starts pouring out of vending machines.  Dick Grayson despairs!

Commissioner Gordon: “A mobile slot machine torture van.  Being in possession of such a vehicle violates 17 separate statutes.”

The Zen of Camp:
Suzy: “Being chief cheerleader puts me on the student council.  Once you’re on that, you can get away with anything.”

The Narrator: “Holy Cow Juice!”

Other Cool Stuff:
“The Easy Living Candy Store.”

Dick trying to act tough and cool to get information from the crooks, but obviously unfamiliar with cigarettes.
