he may paint himself as a clown but his
deeds are no laughing matter
welcome to watchmojo.com and she you
were counting down our picks for the top
ten worst things the Joker is done you
always take shots from folks who just
don’t get the joke
for this list we’ll be looking at the
most horrific and iconic crimes that
Batman’s greatest enemy has committed in
all forms of media from the page to the
big screen as such be warned that there
will be plenty of spoilers down the line
and also some rather mature content so
who’s got a camera number ten family
gathering in Scott Snyder’s death of the
family the Clown Prince of Crime shows
just how psychotic he could be after
reclaiming his recently removed face
Joker launches a crusade of his own in
order to help Batman rid himself of the
obstacles that keep him grounded his
allies this leads to a deadly game of
cat and mouse where the Joker has
kidnapped the entirety of the bat family
and cut off their faces while this
proves to be just another joke knowing
that he could have easily gone through
with it is chilling to the bone number
nine the tunnel of love in Frank
Miller’s acclaimed take on a much older
and much grittier Batman the resurfacing
of the Joker comes complete with a huge
body count after finding a new purpose
in life when his beloved Batman comes
out of retirement
the psychotic clown and the world’s
greatest detective end up coming to
blows in an amusement park where it
becomes clear that only one of them is
gonna be walking away
I’m through playing Joe
be still my heart despite getting a
Batarang to the face The Joker appears
to be having the time of his life and
gleefully starts a shooting spree as he
makes his way through the tunnel of love
leaving an even bigger trail of young
lovers bodies for Batman to follow
number 8 an agent of chaos
I’m gonna tell you where they are both
Robin and that’s the point you’ll have
to choose Christopher Nolan’s vision of
the Joker not only provided a fresh take
on the character but managed to horrify
audiences while he was at it his most
disturbing attribute was easily how he
manages to manipulate the good guys like
puppets on a string even the Dark Knight
kidnapping Gotham’s star lawyer Harvey
Dent as well as Bruce Wayne’s love
interest Rachel Dawes trapping them each
in separate rooms build with explosives
leaving Batman with a deadly choice of
who to save no of course it’s never that
easy with the Joker and the result leads
to the death of Rachel and the birth of
two-face you live
you die now we’re talking
number seven joker junior you would have
been proud to see him so strong The
Joker’s return in the Batman Beyond
movie didn’t only give fans the chance
to see the second night battle against
his mentor’s greatest foe but also give
us a flashback segment which in some way
served as a conclusion to the original
animated series
after kidnapping Robin aka Tim Drake the
Joker goads Batman into a final
confrontation in Arkham Asylum where he
reveals that not only has he tortured
and brainwashed Robin into a psychotic
surrogate son but that he now knows that
Batman is Bruce Wayne and the dear lad
began to share such secrets with me
secrets that are mine alone know Bruce
even though the animated series wasn’t
afraid to slip into some dark territory
this was on a different level entirely
made all the more deliciously evil by
Mark Hamill’s performance make daddy
proud
deliver the punchline number 6 the death
of Sarah Essen Jim Gordon has lost more
to the Joker than anyone else yet still
refuses to step outside the law and kill
him though we have no idea how he
resisted ending the clown’s life after
this despicable act Sarah Essen a
brilliant detective in her own right and
Gordon’s second wife manages to catch
the Joker at gunpoint except there’s a
problem he has dozens of infants as
hostages using her good-hearted nature
to his advantage The Joker tosses one of
the children her way and Sarah
instinctively catches the baby
however this leaves her unarmed and the
Joker takes advantage of the moment
gunning her down number 5 faceoff
nothing quite sums up the Joker’s
insanity then when he allowed someone to
carve his face off just to leave an
unclear kind message while he’s the only
one that technically gets hurt as a
result of this bloody process the loss
and eventual reclaiming of his face
marks a change in the Joker’s character
he becomes even more dangerous deranged
obsessed with Batman and also a hell of
a lot scarier seriously anyone who gets
a near orgasmic reaction from having
their mug peeled off is someone you
don’t want to mess with
[Music]
number four the fall of Superman who’s
Krypton
now metropolis people you love tend to
blow up don’t they the comic book /
video game tie-in series injustice gods
among us has done wonders for the
fighting game genre by showing that you
can indeed having grossing story in
between kicking the crap out of your
favorite DC characters set in an
alternate world The Joker manages to
trick the Man of Steel into killing Lois
Lane their unborn child and all of
Metropolis – as you can imagine Supes is
not happy about this Superman kills the
Joker in reprisal and the loss of his
sanity leads to Superman becoming a
dictator and enslaving the entire world
if they prefer chaos I’ll give it to
them
a truffula sand gotham o flood set an
example even in death The Joker always
seems to have the last laugh number 3
Mad Love I know how to make some smiles
puddin probably the most constant
reminder of the Joker’s cruelty is his
treatment of the one person who actually
loves him above all else Harley Quinn
after falling for the psychotic clown
and breaking him out of Arkham Harley
has stuck with her puddin through thick
and thin always helping him commit
crimes and try to kill the Batman on his
behalf
despite this unending devotion The Joker
does not treat her kindly whether it’s
manipulating her by playing off of her
obvious infatuation or via verbal
emotional and physical abuse Harley
suffering is legendary across the comic
books and animated series plus it’s made
all more painful by her refusal to leave
his side gasps aha
[Music]
I give the punch lines around here got
it yes
number two The Killing Joke
no other event has rippled across the
Batman mythos more than the shooting of
Barbara Gordon in Alan Moore’s
critically acclaimed graphic novel The
Killing Joke with a single shot the
Joker leaves Barbara handicapped and
traumatized which is just one part of
his insidious plan to drive Jim Gordon
insane just to prove that anyone can
lose their mind after just one bad day
while this plan would ultimately fail
with Jim keeping his sanity and Barbara
trading her mantle as Batgirl for that
of Oracle Joker’s twisted actions have
cemented themselves in popular culture
before we reveal our number one pick
here a few honorable mentions are try me
famous Joker fish they’re smilin smelt
gigglin grouper and happy haddock
[Music]
number one the death of Jason Todd let’s
try and clear this up okay pumpkin what
hurts more a would be just like Barbara
the second Robin narrowly escaped death
at the hands of the Joker and will carry
the trauma and scars of the encounter
for his entire life
Todd’s senselessly violent and deeply
tragic death served as just another
stepping stone in the Joker’s endless
quest to break the Dark Knight after
capturing Jason Todd the Clown Prince
proceeds to beat him with a crowbar
before leaving him to bleed out just
before Batman could arrive a time bomb
goes off seemingly killing Todd it’s one
of Batman’s darkest moments all
orchestrated by the man who finds it all
to be one big joke
