Thin Clown's Bomb

A homemade time-bomb was made by the the Thin Clown. It featured three sticks of nitro painted like candy canes and an old wind-up alarm clock.

Battle in the Streets of Gotham
After the the Poodle Lady and her Ratty Poodle stole the Super-Batarang, the Thin Clown ran toward Batman with this bomb strapped to his chest. Batman used the sword he had just taken from the the Sword Swallower to cut it from the chest of the screaming suicide bomber and promptly knocked him unconscious.

Batman made his way toward Gotham Plaza cathedral still carrying the ticking time-bomb in his left hand. A scrawny clown tried to jump on from the shadows of the cathedral but Batman grabbed with his right arm without looking and hurled him into the street without breaking his stride. He stopped in his tracks by the The Tattooed Strongman, who had punched him in the abdominal armor. Instead of getting into a brawl, Batman tricked the Strongman by tucking the bomb into his sash after feigning to deliver the strongest punch he could manage. He quickly knocked him down with a truly forceful blow into a large underground construction opening right before the timer on the bomb went off.
