Chapter 1: The Puzzling Fiasco

Down the poles and to the Police Headquarters Batman and Robin went. When they arrived, they headed straight for Gordon's office. "Glad you arrived Batman! We were just about to go over the clues we have. Perhaps you can shed some light on this." "Glad to help Commissioner. Now if only we knew exactly what Penguin meant by Father's Day we all will never forget." Meanwhile on the other side of town, the Penguin was just explaining his plan to henchmen. "This is perfect! I'll kill two birds with one stone! Do any of you meatheads know what Commissioner Gordon and Bruce Wayne have in common?" "No boss! I still don't get it;" "one of the bumbling henchmen said. Penguin shouted back, "wa you ninny! Their kids you jack-in-ape! Their kids! We're going to snatch Gordon's and Wayne's kids, Barbara Gordon and Dick Grayson. Wayne's ward and Gordon's daughter will make fine ransoms. They'll do anything to keep them from harm." Another henchmen called out, "are you sure it's so smart going after Barbara Gordon. You remember the last time we tried kidnapping her? She was a tough one!" Penguin agreed, "Yes she was." Yeah going after that Grayson kid ain't so smart either;" the henchmen cried. "Oh yeah, why?" Penguin sneered. "Because I hear he knows all that martial art stuff!" "Yea, well I'm not afraid of that martial art hullabaloo nor a mere silly girl either! I will get those two and make Commissioner Gordon Bruce Wayne get down on their knees and gravel at my feet! I'll have them begging for mercy! Wa, wa, wa! Wa ha ha ha ha ha ha! At least for their children's sakes; wa ha ha. The ransom will be set at $1,000,000 dollars a piece! Now to set the plan in motion."
