  1. Never was the biggest fan on how they just blatantly say the Joker was a former Mobster working with the Mafia. I just pretend that's another make believe story that he perfectly executed to make look real cause he made up of the dozens of different origin stories and will just chalk this up as another one lol fits his character much better.

  2. honestly i think i like the censored version of jokers death more than the one where he is shot.
    the pain of being shot was probably pretty bad for joker and it was pretty awesome to see him get a small taste of his own medicine but i feel that dying by electrocution was more fitting given he gave both harley and tim electro shock therapy.. Probably others too. I think it really sells him getting a taste of his own medicine.

  3. 18:23 I think we all agree that Batman WAS going to kill the Joker. This is not ur usual Batman that just leaves you unconscious and several injuries, but the fact that he literally threw him a knife just says it all. One of the most tragic moments of the Batman mythology and the DCAU

  4. I love this type of videos. And the Joker of the DCAU is always going to be the best for me and the most funny but also one of the most cruel versions of the clown prince of crime

  5. The Return Of The Joker version STILL haunts me up to this day. These facial animations are horrifying! Pure nightmare fuel! Mark Hamill gave his greatest performance in that movie, in my opinion.

  6. I always rememered Joker just casually walking out the house right past Andrea with a smile right after murdering her father like

    yup I killed him…and what are you gonna do about it?

    That was the most chilling thing I'd seen from this universe. Joker was gangsta lol

  7. I don't think Joker ever went insane, I think it was all an act. He was always a scheming psychopath, the acid bath just gave him an excuse to reinvent himself. The clown gimmick & claims of insanity served to make him less predictable, his image more grandiose, & to land him in Arkham instead of a proper prison. That's why Ace's power was able to work on him: He was just lying, like he always does. I could swear I saw a quote confirming this, but I've been unable to find it again.

  9. Also Another fun fact about the batman character the joker the killing joke movie he actually made batman laugh at one of his jokes once one time it happens near the end of the movie just before the end credits roll the reason why I said it happens near end credits is for the people who don't know where to find it

  10. I just wanna point out how these thumbnails are always surprisingly accurate with the length of the characters's careers…. but…. Return of the Joker takes place 60 (almost exactly) years after the flashback in Mask of the Phantasm, not 50.

    Since you referred to his actual Year Zero as Year Zero, I think his MotP Flashbacks should've been called Year -10.

  11. 17:43 I said on another video that torturing and brainwashing Tim was a dark "pay attention to me" from Joker to Batman since Bruce had been fighting stronger, more powerful and dangerous threats than him with the Justice League like aliens and supernatural beings and Joker wanted Batman's focus back on him.
