The people in the audience shouted and begged for the Joker to release Robin. But it was obvious that they were tired. Their voices were hoarse from hours of laughing at the Joker’s jokes.

“Um, Mr. J.,” Harley Quinn pointed to the tank. Sharks and electric eels swam near Robin. “The party’s not over yet.”

“Okay,” the Joker pouted.

He pushed another button on the remote. Robin was yanked out of the water, gurgling and sputtering.

“Let’s try another one,” the Joker turned to the crowd. “What’s a shark’s favorite sandwich?”

The crowd stared, dumbfounded, at the Joker. No one responded.

“Come on, people!” the Joker screamed.

“The Boy Wonder is about to become a shark treat,” he threatened.

Still silence from the crowd.

“I know! I know!” Harley raised her hand. “Peanut butter and jellyfish!”

The Joker chuckled. A clown raised the sign to laugh, but the crowd only let loose a half-hearted chuckle.

“Not good enough,” the Joker yelled, pushing a button on the remote.

Robin took a deep breath before plunging into the water again. He didn’t struggle once he was submerged. He didn’t want the sharks to mistake him for prey. If he thrashed around, they might think he was an injured seal or fish.

Robin backed up against the reef. He tried to use the coral to cut the rope.

Robin had to be careful because the coral was razor sharp. If he cut himself, the sharks would smell the blood and attack. He also needed to keep clear of the electric eels. They could deliver a deadly shock if he touched one of them.

“Can I try a joke, Mr. J.?” Harley asked.

“Sure,” the Joker replied, pushing the button. Robin was yanked out of the water.

Harley turned to the crowd. “What do you get when you cross an electric eel with a sponge?” she asked. After a brief pause, Harley shouted, “A shock absorber!”

No one laughed.

“That’s curtains for the Boy Wonder,” the Joker said, about to push the button.

“Wait!” Harley Quinn said. “A very special guest will be showing up soon!”
