In the mid-90s, Tim Burton pitched a concept for a sequel to his spooktacular sophomore masterpiece Beetlejuice, the title of which became a punchline in the hallowed halls of Hollywood in the years thereafter. Now, in 2024, Gotham Beat and Bat Minute are cracking open the crypt of this script and traipsing to the tropics to terrorise the locals! An all-star squad of podcast thespians join in to exhume ano...

The Joker has transformed back to Drake. Terry’s got him easy.

The laser hits the factory and absolutely annihilates the whole place. This isn’t just a little bit of destruction, the whole building erupts! GET ACE OUT OF THERE!

As the satellite drifts off into space, calm is restored. It's over. It's all over...

Meanwhile, Dee Dee receive a prison visit from dear old Nana. She seems familiar...

Batman lies prone, at the whim of The Joker… except he’s got that dawg in him. Kind of.

Ace attacks! He’s very well trained - he could eat The Joker’s face clean off but chooses not to. Good boy!

Not all that good actually... the tackling sends Joker's buzzer careening right into the electronics, triggering the deadly space laser! Maybe ya goofed, dog. INCOMING!

Terry goes at it - he isn’t backing down. This is THE mo...

Bruce oversees Terry’s invasion of the Joker’s candy land. Tim is also there... unconscious, but alive.

Once Drake is back in actually, the young Bat goes full crazy on the dude! Is it justified? HE DOESN'T DO THIS ANYMORE!

Except... he kind of does. Literally. Physically. THE MAN BECOMES THE JOKER, DAMN IT! HE TRANSFORMS! We've got Lost Highway going on up in here.

We’re back as The Joker (or is it?!?!?) chats away on the big screen to our Terry there, revealing his entire plan! Nice villain move.

Joker halts the call and Terry leaps into action… only to instantly be shot down by a hidden laser. Two lasers. Three lasers. Four lasers... they just keep coming!

After Batarang-ing his way to safety, Terry then heads to the nearby candy factory for the sweet treat of JUSTICE.

Bats is still trying to save this FOOL - THIS ABSOLUTE FOOL! Leave him man, he doesn't deserve you.

Well he DOESN'T leave him and manages a rescue, so I guess it's a success. Yay? As they fly away we're treated to quite a banger though.

INCOMING AKIRA!

Bat Fake and co. find out that... Tim Drake... WORKS FOR THE JOKER! Can this really be?

We’re back as Barbara and Batman have… uhh… saved Robin. Kind of.

Did Harley perish? Terry seems to think so, but if we know DC they won't hesitate to claw somebody back... and I think they just might do it. No body? NO DEATH! And even then...

Bruce FORBADE Tim to be Robin ever again. I get it though - I mean, the kid was REALLY messed up by all of this. He also said that he would never take on a young partner again. ...

Minutes 41-45

HOW COULD HARLEY DO THIS?!?!? Eh, she's done... well, maybe not WORSE, but things of a comparable nature I suppose.

An errant bazooka blast sends both her and Batgirl careening over a dangerous edge of the building. One will fall... to a death?

Meanwhile, we discover just WHAT The Joker did to this poor kid and... oh boy... it's DARK, people!

The Joker even goes full Palpatine. Their fleet is lost... but then his damn...

We’re back as our dear little Robin lies flightless. IS THIS THE END OF THE BOY WONDER?!?!? Kind of... you'll see...

Batman heads out to look for him night after night. By “look for him” we of course mean “beating the crap out of crooks to get answers”. Would you expect any less?

After jumping through some rather explosive hoops, The Joker's lair is revealed and the Battle for Robin's Soul is on! Or is that "Little J"...

The fallout of the wild night of dancing is felt by all. That was a rough one. PARTY ON (Mr Wayne?)!

Bruce sure isn't getting down though... he's down and out - the enemy has struck. Most importantly, HE HURT THE BLOODY DOG! That's it, time to go John Wick.

We see the true face of the enemy, however... the NEW face of Bruce.

Barbara is also here and she start getting some info about just what happened to one Tim Drake...

Terry's bro wishes he was an only child. We've all been there, man. CEREAL FLICK TO THE FACE, LOSER!

Cut to the club. Again. Did you expect this much clubbing action in a Batman film? We sure didn't!

Dana burns Terry good - she absolutely destroys the guy. He's toast. Before he can even recover he's swarmed by... some mysterious ladies, both wanting a piece. Guess what though... IT'S A TRAP! A TRICK! A RUSE! Jokerz ti...
