With only minutes to midnight left for the hostages, Batman tunes into the Joker's broadcast where he now sees the Harlequin of Hate present Summer with a present which she opens, revealing it to be a Betty Blooper doll that he winds up and lets loose on a cardboard model of Gotham City.
Though the cannon does destroy an antenna, it turns out that the Joker's pirated signal was not broadcasted from that location, which then leaves the Batman wondering where it's coming from. Batman distracts the cannon's computer guidance system while Robin breaks into the observatory, diving past an army of Joker robots with machine gun hands and using an explosive to destroy the computer, putting the cannon out of commission. The Batmobile computer pinpoints the location of the pirated signal coming from the Gotham Observatory, and soon Batman and Robin drive to that location, where they are greeted with a Joker-in-the-box and a giant cannon aiming right for them. The Joker, displeased with the rescue operation, decides to blow up his "studio audience". Batman turns the Batmobile around after the bridge explosion and puts it on autopilot while he and Robin work on saving the passengers, with Robin decoupling the passenger cars and putting on the brakes and Batman rescuing the engineer before the locomotive section goes off the bridge. He then cuts to a shot of his henchmen Donner and Blitzen preparing to blow up a train bridge, which will cause the train just coming towards it to crash, killing everyone on it, including Summer's mother. While they return to action as Batman and Robin to pinpoint the location of the pirated signal, the Joker presents on his Christmas special his "special guests", the awful Lawful Family, which turn out to be Commissioner Gordon, Summer Gleeson, and Harvey Bullock all "dressed up" in baby clothes, daring Batman to rescue them by midnight or else they're history.
