Joker number eight, Catwoman, the wedding, although many felt that the wedding ended in an anticlimax when Batman and Catwoman failed to get married in Batman 50, the previous issue that concluded that the Joker's plan to ruin the couple's special day was quite spectacular after dispatching Batman and shooting Batman.

Catwoman, the feline femme fatale manages to claw Joker's throat, the rest of the issue focuses on the pipe that leads to some rubble, Selina for her gunshot wounds and Joker for his cut throat, then a dialogue follows and it is here where the best aspects of Tom King's writing shine; it could be the last. moments and spend it debating. Batman both reflect on their time as super criminals and argue over who really knows the Dark Knight, both have his reasons and King nails his two stories with Batman's succinct and superb Lee, but it is Selina who ultimately prevails. tells a joke to the Joker and the enraged Clown Prince decides to reload his gun, releasing his neck in the process and then falls dead, causing Catwoman to laugh at the entire exchange number 7 Terry McGinnis Batman beyond the return of the Joker Batman more Beyond Return of the Joker may simply be the best Batman movie ever made or at least in consideration for that award along with Mask of the Phantasm and The Dark Knight, it was dark and gripping and, as was the case with all the The wonderfully atmospheric DCAU shows were a great breath of fresh air and while Batman Beyond excelled at introducing new villains for teenage Batman Terry McGinnis to take on the specter of Bruce Wayne's old enemies, no one stuck around more than the Prince Crime Clown when the film reveals that the Joker's last battle with Batman resulted in his own. death while being tortured and joka fide Robin pointed a gun at his captor, but the clown leaves a parting gift, a microchip that leaves his own personality imprinted on Tim Drake, the Robin he had tortured and this Joker returns to the future and while Bruce is aware of the threat he poses, Terry is more accommodating, seeing it as a joke, and while this works against Neo Batman to begin with, McGinnis finds success in his final duel against Joker by taunting him, his goading attracts the Joker. to let his guard down and destroy the microchip, freeing Tim Drake and ending the Joker forever Batman number 6 and Commissioner Gordon The Killing Joke Ellen Moir and Brian Bolland the Killing Joke is the authorized account of the relationship between Batman and the Joker and while not without its critics, it's hard to argue that its final pages are anything less than impressive.

Batman comes to the Joker at the beginning of the story in a desperate plea to end the cycle of violence, but when it becomes clear it is a prelude to one. of the character's most heinous crimes, the reader begins to consider the possibility that the end could come much sooner than originally thought, determined to prove that all it takes is one bad day to turn even the most stable man. into a crazed super villain who paralyzes then-Batgirl Barbara Gordon and kidnaps her father to try to drive him crazy. Their plan fails when the Commissioner emerges with his mind intact and Batman offers to help his old enemy not cause any more damage.

For a brief second, it seems as if the Joker actually considered his offer. A textless panel shows him turning around in confusion. to the kindness of the caped crusaders, while the next panel also shows him in lucid, reflective lights contemplating how far away he really is and how sad he is that there is no turning back number five. Poison Ivy Harley and Ivy Batman, the animated series, opted for what many would consider the definitive version of The Dark Knight and, with it, its world and its cast of supporting characters. Bruce Wayne had Kevin Conroy and the Joker had Mark Hamill.

The rest is history for Hamill. One of the things he does best with the Joker is show the clowns' turning points, and one of the best moments he can show that comes in Harley and Ivy, the episode in which his abused partner Harley Quinn falls in love with his fellow Gotham rogue. Poison Ivy, the pair form a formidable partnership and the Joker is not impressed that his partner is outdoing him, he is not very happy and is determined to exert some authority.

The Clown Prince actually throws Quinn out of hiding, but instead of taking this as a sign to leave him behind forever, Harley decides to earn her pudding's affections by doing what he could never catch and kills Batman with a trap. gag trap to end all gag traps. Harley, elated, calls Joker, who is enraged by the fact that she has done what he never could. His own arrogance causes Batman to escape, from which the Dark Knight makes sure to remind him during his escape that the Smiling Bats tell the clown that Prince Harley came closer than ever to killing him and tops it all off with a condescending pudding to top it all off.

Of evils, the look on Joker's face says it all number three Ace Justice League, unfortunately due to Batt's ill-considered embargo, Joker appeared in Justice League for only a couple of episodes. His final appearance involves a reinvention of the Royal Flush gang, who in the DC animated universe were metahumans captured by the US government, as is the case with most things. It ended terribly, at least for the Joker. One of the freed metahumans was a young woman named Ace. Ace was the strongest of the group since she possessed a powerful form of telepathy. The Crown Prince decided that he could use it as a weapon to convert the entire population. crazy and would have made it if it weren't for the efforts of Batman and the Justice League.

Joker was playing a dangerous game by manipulating Ace and Batman was able to exploit it in their final confrontation in the series. The Dark Knight shows Ace that her savior had actually been in possession of a power-dampening diadem to use against her and this leads to Ace turns all of his powers against Joker, somehow driving him even crazier than he already was. DCAU continuity dictates that the Joker eventually recovers from this mental attack, but by the time he would be forgiven for thinking that was it for villain number 2 forever Anton Arcane Swamp Thing What are the Joker's most identifiable traits? ?

No, it's his laugh, that iconic laugh that echoes through the halls of Arkham Asylum. and he punctuates every encounter with Batman, it's what makes the Joker the Joker, so with that in mind, you'll probably understand that not laughing is a big deal. The absence of laughter indicates that something is terribly wrong with the character, which should be fixed. way of hinting at how important it was when Swamp Thing villain Anton Arcane left the Joker in a vegetative state during Swamp Thing 30, written by Alan Moore, the creepiness of this moment is further compounded by more hole-walking on the part of the reader. .

We never see what happened in the Joker's cell or how arcane it caused the crown prince's crisis. All we see is that blank expression and the Arkham doctors looking in shock number 1 Charlie Collins The Joker's Favor The Joker's Favor is one of those episodes of Batman, the animated series, that gave you nightmares. When you were a kid, the idea that Joker could terrorize any character if given the right message was a terrifying thought and that's just what happens to family man Charlie Collins in the episode. Charlie has an unfortunate case of road rage and whines and rolls down his window to yell at motorists who are causing him pain, but when he sees the Joker's pale face staring back at him, you know he's having a bad time.

Joker follows Charlie and promises not to kill him as long as he returns a favor at times. the future, sure enough, two years later, Joker tracks down Charlie and comes in to help in a series of shenanigans, the poor man is pushed to breaking point until he finally snaps and turns the tables on his tormentor, all while Batman watches. puzzled how Charlie is. giving the Joker his fair share of desserts, what makes this moment so funny is the fact that the Joker is legitimately scared and even makes Joker desperately run towards Batman for safety.
