If you’re thinking that this doesn’t sound like a particularly Christmas-related story, you’re absolutely right. His body is not found at the end and he is presumed escaped.
Eventually Robin escapes, gassing the Joker and throwing him out of the car, where he is hit by a truck and knocked off the overpass. The story follows the two as the Joker drives around Gotham City, committing gruesome and wanton acts of homicide (vehicular and otherwise) in an attempt to psychologically torture Robin, who he has bound and gagged in the passenger seat. His desperate situation leads him to take the offer (“Besides, any port in a storm…”), but before he can get his bearings inside the car he discovers the driver is none other than the Joker, who gasses him and drives off. He crashes his motorbike trying to getaway and a stranger who is driving by throws open their door to help him escape.
In it, his attempt to apprehend weapons traffickers goes awry when rival weapons dealers arrive and he is caught in the middle of the shootout. The story takes place around Christmas time and is narrated by Robin (Tim Drake). Joker kidnaps Robin – Detective Comics #826, DC Comics
