motivated the young Mallories to become the Wrath and Scorn to help criminals in their crimes and defend them from Batman under the belief that criminals have a right to make a living as much as innocents do. While helping Gotham City's criminals, the Mallories come into conflict with Batman and Robin, though, in their civilian identities, they befriend those of the Dynamic Duo: Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson. Ultimately, it is this "friendship" that leads to the four deducing each other's identities. While the Mallories are eventually captured, they plan to reveal the Dynamic Duo's secret identities. Batman is willing to accept the outcome, but the Joker, not wanting to lose his greatest source of fun, poses as a police officer to infect the Mallories with his Joker venom, leaving them laughing uncontrollably.
