In the third season of Batman, episode 10 titled Surf's Up! Joker's Under!, the Caped Crusader once again finds himself battling his arch-nemesis, the Joker. This time, however, the villain seems to be choosing a rather unconventional approach to wreaking havoc on Gotham City.
The episode opens with a scene of Bruce Wayne enjoying a day at the beach with his old friend Dick Grayson, who is in town visiting from college. As they sit on the sand, they notice a group of surfers out in the water, catching some waves. Suddenly, the peace is shattered by a loud explosion. Looking up, they see a balloon-like contraption floating above the beach, with the Joker's face emblazoned on it.
Knowing that the Joker is up to no good, Batman quickly dons his suit and heads out to investigate. When he arrives on the scene, he finds the beach deserted except for a group of surfer-dudes, who seem not at all alarmed by the ominous presence looming above them. It turns out that the Joker has set up a surf competition, with the winner receiving a massive prize of $1 million dollars.
As Batman watches from the shore, the surfers begin to catch the waves, performing incredible stunts and maneuvers. However, it soon becomes apparent that the Joker has no intention of letting the competition go smoothly. He begins to sabotage the surfers, using his trademark weapons such as exploding surfboards and giant squid to interfere with their performances.
Unwilling to let the Joker ruin the competition and endanger innocent lives, Batman decides to enter the competition himself. Using his skills and quick thinking, he manages to out-surf the other competitors and win the prize money. However, he soon discovers that the Joker had one last trick up his sleeve.
In a dramatic finale, the Joker reveals that the prize money is actually fake, and he had set up the entire competition as a distraction while he pulled off a major heist of valuable jewels. Using his wits and clever use of his gadgets, Batman manages to foil the Joker's plans and bring him to justice yet again.
Overall, Surf's Up! Joker's Under! is a thrilling episode that showcases the dynamic between Batman and the Joker. With its fun surfing theme and creative use of some classic Batman motifs, it's sure to entertain audiences of all ages.
