Once people come out to try to get a hold of some cash for themselves, he plans on gassing them. ![]() ![]() He lures the good citizens of Gotham into the streets by leaving huge piles of money there. The Joker is not neutralized and comes up with a new and highly unusual plan. Batman leaks to the press that Napier/Joker is behind the contamination at the cosmetics factory. He researches Napier - after all, knowledge is power - and he discovers that Napier was a chemistry whizz in his youth. In the process he realizes that the new criminal in town is actually the old one with a new face, and concludes that the Joker is Napier with an altered appearance. When Joker attempts to kidnap Vicki, Batman rescues her. When Batman realizes that the people of Gotham are literally terrified of washing their faces, he vows to put an end to the madness and neutralize the Joker once and for all. He tampers with Gotham City Cosmetics and causes many deaths. Beyond killing his former boss, though, his plans are less concrete. The first thing he does on his return to Gotham is kill Grissom and take over the crime syndicate.
