00:00Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most memorable Joker scenes across movies, shows, and more.
00:14We'll be discussing spoilers, so consider this your warning.
00:22I want a nice, clean game, gentlemen. That'll be a first.
00:26There have been countless times when the Joker has nearly killed the Dark Knight, and in Almost Got Him, he shares one of these tall tales with his fellow villains over a game of cards.
00:35He reveals how, in signature Joker fashion, he held an entire studio hostage and strapped Batman into an electric chair.
00:42Spoiler alert, Batman didn't end up getting fried, but that shouldn't take away from the level of detail Joker put into designing such an elaborate death trap.
00:50The laughter-activated electric chair!
00:55Yes, sir, the merest titter of guffaw starts the chair's generator revving up towards maximum zapping.
01:02If anything, it just goes to show how much Joker cares about him. After all, he doesn't go all out for just anyone.
01:09Though he still came up short, we're giving Joker an A for effort here.
01:13The thing you're forgetting is that there are all sorts of ways to get someone.
01:19Jerome's confession, Gotham
01:26Though he and his twin brother Jeremiah would never quite get to morph into a fully realized version of the Joker,
01:32Jerome was still simply incredible as the proto-clown prince of crime.
01:36And there hasn't been a moment in Gotham quite as iconic as Jerome's not-so-humble beginnings.
01:43When circus performer Lila Valeska is found murdered, the GCPD conducts an investigation into who did it.
01:49But the real kicker is the end when her son Jerome reveals that it was actually him.
01:54He suddenly goes from a meek little kid to a scheming psychopath all with the flip of a switch.
01:59This moment proved that Cameron Monaghan had the makings of a fantastic Joker.
02:04And more impressively, he pulled it off here without the iconic look too.
02:12Laughter
02:17Number 28.
02:18You wouldn't get it.
02:19Joker
02:27The Joker movie is a wild ride that documents Arthur Fleck's descent into madness,
02:32culminating in the creation of his alter ego, the Joker.
02:35But when everything is said and done, it's what happens after the fact that shows just how changed Arthur has become.
02:42Nobody's civil anymore!
02:44Nobody thinks what it's like to be the other guy.
02:47While being held in a mental health facility, Arthur laughs wildly while smoking a cigarette.
02:52When his psychiatrist asks him a question, he responds in an interesting way.
02:56You wouldn't get it.
02:58It's a moment that shows him in control.
03:00He's really no longer Arthur, he's the Joker.
03:03And shockingly, he's happy.
03:06It's probably better if his way of healing wasn't by becoming a psychotic clown who incites mob violence,
03:11but hey, what are we gonna be able to do about it?
03:14There's no punchline.
03:17It's not a joke.
03:18Number 27.
03:19Using Ace to hypnotize millions.
03:22Justice League
03:23Ah, ah, ah.
03:24Don't touch that remote.
03:26I know it's heartbreaking to have your favorite shows preempted,
03:29but look what you're getting instead.
03:31Me!
03:32In the episode Wild Cards,
03:34Joker decides to go beyond Gotham to spread his signature blend of terror across the country.
03:39Here's how we do this, little tango.
03:41I've tucked away a great big time bomb somewhere on the Vegas strip.
03:45Only the Justice League can stop it.
03:48His sinister plan does not just involve waging war on the Justice League.
03:52It also involves exploiting a young metahuman named Ace.
03:56By taking advantage of her mental abilities,
03:58he's able to get everyone who views his broadcast hypnotized.
04:01But enough with the jargon.
04:03She can make you crazy just by looking at you.
04:07In person or on TV.
04:11Yes, Ace was the one technically doing it,
04:14but it was Joker's manipulation that made the whole thing possible.
04:17If his plan succeeded,
04:19he would have melted millions of the viewers' minds.
04:22Yeesh.
04:23Joker's messed up antics really prove how little he values people's lives.
04:27Even as I speak,
04:29millions of you slack-jawed couch potatoes are losing your grip on reality,
04:33which in my opinion is highly overrated anyway.
04:42I'll begin with how I peeled back the layers of the boy's mind.
04:47Joker is infamous for his sadistic methods
04:49and particularly hostile treatment towards the Robins.
04:52And one of the most startling instances comes from Return of the Joker.
04:56Flashbacks reveal how he and Harley kidnapped and tortured Tim Drake.
05:00Essentially, he brainwashed him into a mini version of himself.
05:04Here you go, sonny boy.
05:09Make daddy proud.
05:10If that wasn't traumatizing enough,
05:12Joker ordered Tim to kill an injured Batman.
05:15Thankfully, Tim would manage to muster up enough strength
05:18to rebel against Joker and shoot him in the chest,
05:21seemingly killing him.
05:22That's not funny.
05:24That's not...
05:28It's another instance where the clown dies that is just downright chilling.
05:32You might find a little bit of humor in him getting shot by his own gun,
05:36but the amount of psychological damage he inflicted up until this moment remains haunting.
05:40It's okay, Tim.
05:42It's okay.
05:48Who would have thought my 25th birthday month would be so blah?
05:52If you thought the Joker wanted to learn Batman's secret identity,
05:56you were wrong.
05:57Well, at least in regard to the version of him from the Harley Quinn show.
06:01When he successfully captures Batman,
06:03Scarecrow excitedly unmasks him,
06:05much to Joker's anger.
06:07Don't you think I would have done that had I wanted to?
06:10Half the fun of our relationship was the mystery.
06:13The situation then devolves into a comical rant
06:16where he airs his grievances against Bruce Wayne and Wayne Tech.
06:19We really hate to admit it,
06:21but some of his complaints, namely the electric cars,
06:24are actually pretty solid.
06:26Wayne Tech promised an electric car by this year.
06:29I put a deposit down.
06:31The Joker figuring out Batman's identity would have been iconic either way,
06:35but the little comedic subversion that happens here
06:37is arguably one of the funniest moments in the entire show.
06:49We know that Joker 2 is gonna be big on music,
07:04but you can totally see music in a huge way
07:07with this moment from the first movie as well.
07:09After killing several businessmen that were attacking him,
07:12Arthur flees into a bathroom.
07:14While the atmosphere is tense at first,
07:16the scene then takes a big mood swing.
07:19No doubt filled with adrenaline,
07:21Arthur finds himself inspired to break out into an impromptu dance number.
07:25The way he moves in rhythm with the Academy Award winning score
07:28in the background gives off an eerie vibe.
07:46It's like we're watching his descent into madness in real time.
07:50And when you add the ambiance of the dingy bathroom to the mix,
07:53you get an iconic aesthetic.
08:17What? Just because Joker died in Arkham City,
08:20you expected him to be gone forever?
08:22Think again!
08:23In Arkham Knight, it's revealed that after a blood transfusion,
08:26Batman becomes infected by the Joker's blood,
08:29which is one hell of a way to leave your mark.
08:31As the infection spreads,
08:32the Dark Knight experiences numerous haunting hallucinations.
08:39They include multiple memories of the twisted clown torturing his loved ones,
08:43and at some points, Batman is urged by him to kill.
08:46Gotta hand it to him, even when he's six feet in the ground,
08:49the Joker still finds a way to spread his signature blend of chaos everywhere.
08:54Don't worry about Robin, Batsy.
08:56I'm sure he won't die.
08:58Well, fairly certain anyway.
09:09Heath Ledger's Joker is generally considered to be the best portrayal of them all,
09:13and that is in no small part thanks to his ability to toy around with Batman.
09:18He plays mind games against everyone in Gotham,
09:21and that mental manipulation factors in again during this scene.
09:24With Batman close enough to strike,
09:26Joker dares the hero to hit him with the Batcycle.
09:29It's definitely not smart to urge someone to run you over,
09:32but Joker just doesn't care.
09:34He actually doesn't have any real reason to be scared anyway,
09:36because he knows that Batman wouldn't actually hit him.
09:39Come on, come on. I want you to do it. I want you to do it. Come on, hit me.
09:42Come on, hit me. Come on, hit me!
09:44Aaaaah!
09:46Hit me!
09:49He's taking sick pleasure out of taunting him,
09:52and it's that kind of dominance Joker possesses that has made him such a dangerous villain.
09:57See, I'm not a monster.
10:00I'm just ahead of the curve.
10:09You just don't know when to quit, do you?
10:12While it's not actually the last time we saw the DCAU's Joker,
10:15this ominous moment from Mask of the Phantasm sure made it look like it was gonna be.
10:19Finally caught by Andrea Beaumont, a.k.a. the Phantasm,
10:23the bloodthirsty vigilante seeks vengeance for her father's murder.
10:26One way or another, it ends tonight.
10:28However, the amusement park they're in starts to collapse all around,
10:32placing them in imminent danger.
10:34With certain doom sinking in, Joker simply takes the moment in stride.
10:38It's pretty clear that he doesn't even care what happens to him in the end.
10:42Laughing even in the face of total destruction, it's the Joker way.
10:46For once, I'm stuck without a punchline.
10:52After adding his former co-worker Randall to his growing body count,
10:56Arthur Fleck fixes his clown makeup,
10:58throws on a colorful suit, and heads out to his TV interview.
11:01But before getting in front of a camera,
11:03he decides to dance out his feelings on a long set of stairs.
11:06Arthur's joyful and manic moves have a dark undertone to them.
11:10As he dances down the steps with blood on his hands,
11:13he descends deeper into insanity.
11:15Arthur's dance resonated with audiences so much
11:18that fans went to the real-life shooting location in New York City to imitate him.
11:22Although the locals weren't too pleased with the tourists,
11:25they couldn't stop Joker's dance from becoming a cultural phenomenon.
11:36And now, people of Gotham City,
11:39the moment you have all been waiting for!
11:43The Joker was always a fan of theatrics.
11:45In the villain's grand scheme to hijack the SS Gotham,
11:48the Joker baits Batman and the Boy Wonder to the Gotham City Opera Company,
11:52where he knew they would attempt to capture him.
11:54Having been defeated by Batman's gas pellets earlier in the episode,
11:57the villain is forced to go back to Gotham City
12:00to get his revenge.
12:02Having been defeated by Batman's gas pellets earlier in the episode,
12:05the villain decides to get even with some chemicals of his own.
12:13Subduing the two with sneezing powder,
12:15Joker now plans to unveil Batman and Robin's secret identities on live television.
12:20This puts quite a twist on the show's typical deathtrap cliffhanger,
12:23and is a scheme worthy of the Clown Prince of Crime.
12:26Could this mean curtains?
12:28Will the identities of our dynamic duo be revealed to the whole world?
12:33Is this the end of their career as crime fighters?
12:37Can they avert disaster?
12:40Answers tomorrow.
12:42Same Bat-time, same Bat-channel.
12:51Most villains know better than to make a deal with the Joker,
12:54but after nearly being assassinated by the Red Hood,
12:57Black Mask decides to ask the Clown for help.
13:04Black Mask gathers his henchmen
13:06and breaks into Arkham Asylum to talk to an imprisoned Joker.
13:10When the Clown is asked if he could handle taking out the new villain,
13:13he murders all the goons in the room.
13:15Once they're all dead, Joker agrees to accept the job,
13:18if Black Mask gives him more henchmen.
13:25Not these guys, because, well, they're kinda dead.
13:28This short scene perfectly captures how unpredictable and sadistic the Clown can be.
13:33The Joker is so manic and terrifying
13:35that even the intimidating Black Mask will give the Clown whatever he wants.
13:43Shortly after stealing money from every mob boss in Gotham,
13:46the Joker crashes their private meeting.
13:48How about a magic trick?
13:50He offers to make up for his intrusion
13:52by showing them a magic trick with a pencil.
13:54After the mob chooses a volunteer,
13:56the Joker makes the pencil disappear into the volunteer's eye.
14:03His brutal magic trick was a great way
14:05to show how reckless Heath Ledger's Joker was.
14:08Even when he's outnumbered,
14:10this version of the Clown Prince will not hesitate
14:12to satisfy his most primal desires.
14:14Unsurprisingly, the Joker's brutality and boldness
14:17eventually wins the mob over,
14:19and they hire him to kill Batman.
14:21Let's just hope they didn't hire the Clown to do any magic shows.
14:28Seeing an empty yet functional hospital explode should be a tragedy,
14:32but the Joker managed to turn the event into a properly funny moment.
14:43After throwing on a nurse's outfit,
14:45the not-so-serious one detonates the massive number of explosives
14:48he placed inside of Gotham General Hospital.
14:50While walking away from the flames,
14:52the explosions suddenly stop.
14:54A confused and disappointed Joker messes around with the detonator
14:57until the explosions begin again.
15:12The way the Joker reacts to everything in the scene is priceless.
15:15He has fun setting off the explosives
15:17and seems genuinely surprised when they start up after the delay.
15:20Heath Ledger's fantastic comedic timing
15:23kept us laughing throughout this explosive scene,
15:25even though it feels so wrong.
15:31Throughout 2019's Joker,
15:33Gotham's poorest citizens are mistreated and neglected by the rich.
15:41So, when Arthur kills three wealthy businessmen while wearing clown makeup,
15:45the disenfranchised citizens of Gotham see him as a hero.
15:54They are so dedicated to their murderous idol
15:57that they even break him out of police custody.
15:59When Arthur finds himself surrounded by his new fans,
16:02he paints a bloody smile on his face and greets them as the Joker.
16:06Although it's unclear if this crowd scene was real
16:08or one of Arthur's frequent delusions,
16:10the news reports throughout the film paint an undeniable truth.
16:13The Joker's twisted actions inspired people to embrace their worst instincts.
16:23If your arch-nemesis ever invites you over for supper,
16:26just politely decline.
16:28After capturing most of the Bat Family,
16:30Nightwing, Robin, Red Hood and Batgirl,
16:32in 2012's Death of the Family,
16:34the Joker forces Batman to surrender,
16:36subsequently electrocuting him and knocking him unconscious.
16:40When the Dark Knight wakes up,
16:41he finds that the Joker has seated him at a mock dinner party,
16:44surrounded by his friends,
16:46whose faces are covered with bloody rags and have been doused in gasoline.
16:50The Joker, with the help of a brainwashed Alfred,
16:52served the gang up with what he claims to be their own severed faces.
16:56If that isn't nightmare fuel, we don't know what is.
17:11And as you can see, I'm a lot happier.
17:14While we cannot say enough good things about Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker,
17:18Jack Nicholson's performance in the 1989 Batman film
17:21is just as haunting and memorable.
17:23What can I do for you?
17:25Oh, a little song, a little dance.
17:28Batman's head on a lance.
17:30Tell me, uh, what do you know about...
17:33I don't know anything about Batman.
17:35When crime boss Carl Grissom conspires to have his rival Jack Napier killed
17:38during a heist gone wrong,
17:40Jack is reborn as the Joker.
17:48Imagine Grissom's surprise when Jack shows up in his office,
17:51alive and seemingly well.
17:53It is revealed, however, that being doused with toxic waste
17:56in the subsequent reconstructive surgery
17:58left him with a very unique appearance
18:01and quite the personality disorder.
18:03The pen is truly mightier than the sword.
18:07Number 12. His first appearance.
18:09Batman number one.
18:11The Joker.
18:13He's included in the Comedian's Hall of Fame after all.
18:16One must ask oneself,
18:18has the Joker always been this maniacal and random?
18:21Well, his first appearance in 1940's Batman number one
18:24as Gotham's most twisted crime boss
18:26shows us that yes, yes he was.
18:31Come my puckish partners and plunder.
18:33Batman has been outwitted
18:35and the fabulous jewel collection is ours.
18:41The Joker makes his own grand introduction
18:43via a live radio broadcast,
18:45announcing the murders and crimes he plans to commit.
18:48Besides this, he also takes down
18:50some of the city's most infamous gangsters
18:52and abducts Robin all at the same time.
18:54The villain is eventually captured by Batman and sent to prison
18:57and thus begins one of the most interesting
18:59hero-villain relationships in comic book history.
19:02No, you. You complete me.
19:06You're garbage who kills for money.
19:08Don't talk like one of them. You're not.
19:10Even if you'd like to be.
19:14To them, you're just a freak.
19:17Like me.
19:18Number 11. The Joker's strange philosophy.
19:21The Dark Knight.
19:22Heath Ledger's Joker loved to get deep.
19:25What happened to the rest of the guys?
19:27Working on orders from the Joker to kill each other off
19:30as they work their way through a bank heist,
19:32one henchman remains by the end.
19:34Look at you. What do you believe in, huh?
19:36What do you believe in?
19:38Revealed to be none other than the Joker himself,
19:40the clown prince of crime is soon given the chance
19:42to share part of his strange outlook on life.
19:45Whatever doesn't kill you simply makes you a stranger.
19:51Joker's reply could be his way of telling us
19:53that a violent past turned him into an unpredictable criminal,
19:56but his philosophy could just as easily apply
19:58to Bruce Wayne's batly motivations.
20:00After surviving a traumatic past,
20:02what's stranger than dressing up like a bat every night?
20:05No matter how you choose to interpret it,
20:07Joker's post-heist philosophy lesson is strangely genius.
20:11Number 10. The Joker drives Superman insane.
20:14Injustice. Gods Among Us.
20:16The Joker, tired of losing to Batman,
20:18decides to, quote, try it on easy mode
20:21and go up against Superman instead.
20:23In Injustice, Gods Among Us,
20:25the Joker murders Superman's pal Jimmy Olsen
20:27and kidnaps a pregnant Lois Lane.
20:30Using kryptonite-infused scarecrow toxin,
20:32the Joker tricks the now-delusional Man of Steel
20:35into killing Lois Lane.
20:37As if that wasn't funny enough,
20:39Joker rigged a nuclear bomb to detonate in Metropolis
20:41when Lois dies, destroying Superman's home.
20:45Yikes.
20:46Superman kills the Joker as reprisal,
20:48but this was all part of the Joker's plan,
20:50since because he was never able to defeat Batman,
20:52maybe an enraged and insane Superman will do it for him.
20:56Number 9. You Complete Me. The Dark Knight.
20:59You wanted me. Here I am.
21:01During the Dark Knight's iconic interrogation scene,
21:03the Joker is asked why he tried to kill Batman.
21:06The madman laughs and insists he never wanted to murder the Bat.
21:09The Joker then quotes Jerry Maguire.
21:12You complete me.
21:14In three short words,
21:16Joker gives us huge insight into his relationship with the Bat.
21:19Joker commits horrendous crimes in Gotham
21:21in order to get Batman's attention.
21:23The Dark Knight is forced to confront the fact
21:25that his twisted dynamic with the Clown Prince
21:27has cost innocent people their lives.
21:29I think you and I are destined to do this forever.
21:33This scene is a brilliant encapsulation of Batman and Joker's relationship.
21:37And to think, it all began with a quote from a rom-com.
21:41Number 8. A Captivating Catchphrase. Batman.
21:44After killing Thomas and Martha Wayne,
21:46Jack Napier asks Bruce Wayne,
21:48You ever dance with the death by the pale moonlight?
21:53Years later, the Joker asks Bruce the same question.
21:56You ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?
21:59Once Batman realizes Joker and Jack are the same person,
22:01he becomes more determined to take the Clown down.
22:04But the catchphrase that set Batman off is a great metaphor for the Joker.
22:08It's dramatic, thought-provoking, and insanely memorable.
22:11But the real irony of the phrase is that there's no actual meaning behind it.
22:15Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?
22:18The Joker just asks the question for fun.
22:20Unfortunately for him, he gets a taste of his own medicine
22:23when Batman delivers the moonlight question with a side of punch.
22:26Number 7. Batman Makes the Joker Laugh. Batman. Arkham City.
22:30That actually is pretty funny.
22:39Batman and the Joker have never been able to see eye-to-eye when it comes to humor,
22:42but irony is something the two can both appreciate.
22:45In one last desperate attempt to steal the serum that would cure him of venom sickness,
22:49the Joker blindsides Batman with a knife,
22:51which only results in the hero dropping the antidote to the floor.
22:55Devastated and hopeless, the villain attempts to sip on the last few droplets left from the spill,
23:00while Batman reminds the Joker that he would have never chosen to let him die.
23:04Even after everything you've done, I would have saved you.
23:09Number 6. The Joker Dies. The Dark Knight Returns.
23:13It's finally here, isn't it? The moment we both dreamed about.
23:19Batman's deepest internal battle is remaining a symbol of justice,
23:22and the Joker's prime directive is to persistently challenge that very notion.
23:26All the people I've murdered by letting you live.
23:31Like we saw in our previous entry, the Joker has met his demise at various points in his mythos.
23:36However, none of these other instances stacks up to his death in Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns.
23:41In a desperate struggle, Batman was forced to snap the Joker's neck, but only enough to paralyze him.
23:47Opting not to kill him as it would destroy his moral code as well as public appeal,
23:51the Joker finishes the job himself as one last parting gift to dear old Bats.
23:56Number 5. Live with Murray Franklin. Joker.
23:59My name's Arthur.
24:00Oh, okay. Well, there's something special about you, Arthur, I can tell.
24:03Aspiring comedian Arthur Fleck dreamed of being on The Murray Franklin Show.
24:07Unfortunately, that wish only came true when a video of his comedy routine was presented and mocked by the talk show host on national TV.
24:14When you bring me out, can you introduce me as Joker?
24:18When Arthur's invited to appear on the show, he requests Murray call him Joker and packs a gun.
24:24You think that killing those guys is funny?
24:26After the interview inevitably goes south, Joker shocks the audience by killing Murray on live TV.
24:32It's impossible to look away from either the carnage or Joaquin Phoenix's Academy Award winning performance as Arthur in this scene.
24:39His realistic and chilling acting helped cement the moment Arthur went past the point of no return and truly became the Joker.
24:46Number 4. The Joker paralyzes Barbara Gordon. Batman. The Killing Joke.
24:52If there's one thing the Joker cannot stand, it's those that just don't laugh at his humor.
24:57In 1988's The Killing Joke, the villain decides to bring none other than Commissioner Gordon into his construct of madness by shooting and paralyzing his daughter in their own home.
25:07To add insult to injury, the Joker takes pictures of Barbara Gordon's crippled body and forces her father to view them on his twisted carnival ride.
25:14Not only is this horrifying event every parent's worst nightmare, but the physical and mental damage the Joker inflicted upon Barbara would become a permanent aspect of her character.
25:25Barbara, are you alright? Did he hurt you?
25:29What are you doing?
25:31Number 3. Why so serious? The Dark Knight.
25:34You wanna know how I got these scars?
25:37As eloquent as he is maniacal, the Joker really knows how to tell a story.
25:41I stick a razor in my mouth and do this.
25:45And while we may never know the truth behind how he got his scars, we can't deny the tension he created when he told his tale at Harvey Dent's fundraiser while pulling a blade to Rachel Dawes' mouth.
25:54Now I'm always smiling.
25:56However, it's an earlier scene in which he recounts an entirely different version of his scars' origin to Gamble that still gives us chills to this day.
26:03He turns to me and he says, why so serious?
26:10Those last three words, which he repeats to terrifying effect just before ending Mob Boss' life, really set the stakes for the remaining associates, who are left to battle it out to the death for a chance to join the Joker.
26:22Number 2. The Joker does away with Jason Todd.
26:26Batman number 427.
26:28Wow, that looked like it really hurt.
26:31As ruthless and cold as we know this villain to be, there's no getting past how utterly disturbing this moment in comic book history was.
26:38In A Death in the Family, Jason Todd's Robin parts ways with Batman in order to find his real mother.
26:43After reuniting with her, the Joker kidnaps the two and brutally beats Jason halfway to death with a crowbar.
26:49Batman arrives on the scene just a moment too late, as the Joker blows both Jason and his mother up in a fiery explosion.
26:56Out of every act of villainy the Joker has committed against Batman and his allies, this was one of the ones that cut the deepest.

27:32Number 1. The Joker makes Batman laugh.
27:35Batman the Killing Joke.
27:37Alan Moore's groundbreaking graphic novel follows the Joker's attempts to drive Jim Gordon insane.
27:42I've demonstrated there's no difference between me and everyone else.
27:48All it takes is one bad day.
27:52After Batman saves the Commissioner, the mad clown delivers a memorable speech where he insists one bad day can drive a person crazy.
27:59But the highlight of the story comes when Batman offers to help his longtime enemy.
28:03Joker politely refuses and tells a joke.
28:06But the second guy says, what do you think I am, crazy? You just turn it off when I'm halfway across.
28:13Oh, excuse me.
28:20Instead of ignoring him, Batman shocked everyone by laughing.
28:24His laughter could indicate that he finally snapped.
28:31Then again, maybe Batman had a genuine moment of connection with the Joker.
28:35Both the comic and movie adaptation let the audience decide how this wonderfully complex story ends.
28:40By making Batman laugh, Joker created an iconic moment between the duo that comes with a multiple choice conclusion.
28:47Is there an all-time classic Joker moment we missed?
