Plot

Spider-Man comes outside after Batman screams, and the Joker tells Batman and Spider-Man that he needs them to babysit the child; The child is the Joker's son Jerry.

Differences from the original
The original episode's tone was very dark. It followed Batman and Spider-Man as they babysitted a child. However, in this version of the episode, Batman completely ignores the child, and Spider-Man goes crazier throughout the episode, nearly shooting Batman in the head by the end of it. At the end of the episode, it was revealed that the child was kidnapped from its original parents and they framed Batman and Spider-Man. The version received a polarized response, many deeming it to be the "worst episode of the series". This lead to the original version being deleted and never mentioned again.
