“You call yourself the Joker, and i’m not allowed to laugh?”
Poor Super Man, he was so genuine too 😆😅
No, he wasn't. He was just making time to find all the other bombs across the city. But from the beginning, he took Joker's menace seriously, and decided to play on the mad clown's terms in order to win.
@@mauriciomongoy2025dude keep an eye on him all the time. Dude literally got speed almost equal to The Flash, that’s why he got all the the bomb in like nano second
@@LionsinofStraight Well he's nowhere near Flash speed, but that really doesn't change much with how arbitrarily fast The Flash is.
@@elowin1691DC and Marvel as a whole are WAY too arbitrary because they always write themselves into corners by making everyone way too powerfull.
Even here, what was stoping sups from just snaging the bomb remote out of jokers hand in a milisecond and breaking it or even firing a weak heat vision beam at his hand to make him drop it or just break it altright? Even if sups is not ok to go straight for kill (he does kill but is not trigger happy about it) he could extremely easily disarm the joker and just stare at him with crossed arms and a look of disapointment. This is also kinda of a poor write on the joker because often times he is ridiculously smart and has as many contingencies, backups and twists to his plans to pull out of his metaphorical ass than batman himself.
The idea of Superman being kind but definitely not “nice” is an interpretation that needs to be explored more.
The entire idea that "kindness" and "niceness" are not the same thing needs to be explored more.
I have had people give me great kindness while calling me every name under the sun, and others be bastions of niceness while hurting me casually.
It's so good. Nice is a formality, it keeps you out of trouble. Nice makes bland small talk.
Kind is an affair of the heart. Kind starts a conversation asking how your sister is handling chemotherapy, when you only mentioned it once in passing.
He acts like a God in the old traditional sense if pressed he'll flex as much as he needs to but you see the full extent of his power which in my opinion makes him the ultimate bad ass
@@leejee88 … so basically how God actually is.
Except this Superman is also nice. He’s even genuinely laughing at Joker’s jokes. He just has a limit. Joker (and Batman to a lesser extent) obviously went past that limit. Niceness is a core part of Superman’s character too.
Joker "All it takes is one bad day"
Superman "Cool story bro"
😂
Spider-Man: 🤨
@CharaGonzalez-lt7yw He always has a bad week, you and me both know the writers despise him.
What a lot of folk, Joker included, forget is that he was proven wrong in the Killing Joke. He was trying tae drive Gordon insane.
He failed. Gordon flat out ordered Batman tae bring Joker in without killing him.
@@SCOOBMAN what I don't understand is why they hate him
I love how for the majority of the comic, Supes treated Joker like, well, a joke. But in the very last few panels you find out that internally, he took him VERY seriously. I love that sort of writing
I think that's just how Superman is, he takes every villain seriously, even if he doesn't show it on the surface, or if he realistically has no reason too.
@@Noobie2k7he takes a random bank robber with a pistol as seriously as he takes Lex. He knows that even he isn’t perfect and anything could happen.
@@Prince_Luci it makes me wonder if batman has some type of hubris thinking he is actually in control of very much.. like.. superman who is all powerful has the humility to know anything could happen and even though superman has some of the most power he doesn't act like he is completely in control and it even bothers him other ppl dont understand this but then batman has the nerve and naive audacity to tell an all powerful guy that he has it under control..
like if it bothers superman of all people what kind of self centered douche would act like they know better? batman lol

Joker is nihilistic. He just wants to make the world burn & watch the aftermath. Norman Osborne or Mysterio would make goulash out of him, Loki would turn him into a SLUG. NICK FURY would lock him in a Hulk - proof cell just like he did to LOKI. Tony Stark would SMART ASS him to death.

Jesus Christ. “Any writer could write you, any actor could play play you. All they need to do is is make up their own version and people will applaud them. But NO ONE will ever applaud YOU” that is by far the most brutal dissection of the Jokers entire being that I’ve ever heard and it is from Superman, and not even from Injustice.
I guess, if you dont take in the reality of it
I guess the question is, is that a good or bad thing? Almost every version of the joker in media is pretty good. I mean, is it even entirely true?
@@BlueTyphoon2017 That’s the point. Iterations of the Joker in film and comic are amazing characters. But if the Joker were real and did all the awful things he had done, he would be an irredeemable monster.
and it's not the joker thematically that ppl really enjoy, it's elements of the joker that individual writers give him. by himself the joker is just a two-bit clown villain, it's his multiple iterations that make him so well-regarded. compare to spiderman, who just on his face thematically as a character is unique and worthy of praise, and that's not bc 'oh xyz's parker run was great' or 'tobey maguire played such a great spiderman' it's bc the themes of spiderman themself were really cool and each portrayal is just an adaptation of those themes

What people don't notice is that in front of the Joker, he acts like the man is no threat, and idiot and laughs. But the moment the Joker isn't in front of him, Superman acknowledges what kind of threat Joker actually is...
So Superman didn't actually think that Joker was a joke, but instead realized that the best way to stop the man was to instead ruin his fun. By doing that, Joker no longer had any interest in going to Metropolis...

Love the part where Superman calls Joker Batman's 'playmate'. Even he sees no logic in even letting that guy breathe.
Lol, Red Hood would laugh at Batman.
Superman considering Batman a friend and ally is just as crazy and has no real logic to hold on either
But it is as Batman once said, he's just a man, and Superman and other heroes can easily kill him if they wanted to as well. They have the ability. Sups just reminded him of that fact with the Joker.
"If you cross the line, I won't hesitate to kill you. Just as you would do the same to me." (It may hurt him, but he'd do it)
@@girl1213 Why can't Superman consider him a friend? He grew up in Kansas and are friends with so many regular humans like Jimmy Olsen and Perry White. Batman is also allied with Oracle/Barbara even though she can no longer fight due to her disability.
@@girl1213 Superman and Batman usually get along just fine afaik. Batman made a huge gamble here that Superman wouldn’t tolerate, but that doesn’t make them enemies, and even at the end of the comic he wasn’t threatening to kill Batman, he was threatening to put down the Joker.
He watched his friend do something stupid and told them he wouldn’t stand for it, nothing more.
@@TheWorkersNewspaper1994 It's often brought up concerning the darker side of the Dark Knight
JLA: Tower of Babel is one of the prime stories talking about Batman's dangerous ability to use his brain against them. And the Injustice League series shows the two of them on different sides of the conflict. There's a lot of examples that prove Bruce has a darkness within him that Superman doesn't (normally) have.
And don't forget All-Star Batman (The "God-Damn Batman")
These are all true realities of the characters and how easily it could have been. It's not just a one-off. It's a hard truth.
Even the mainstream Batman and Superman can admit they have clashes and fights and disagreements that have led them fist-fighting one another.
"Next time Joker comes to Metropolis, he won't make it home"
Cold af! 🥶
Thats My Superman. He can get the job done without falling into darknes
Is that a threat or an incentive? Sounds like an incentive to me.
Sounds like a solution to me lol@@acgearsandarms1343
When it comes to dealing with Batman? Yeah, Superman has learned to be cold with him. If Batman is going to play his games, Superman will drop the "boy scout" and remind him of his mortality. Because unlike Bruce, Superman doesn't have a code or a promise holding him back, just a choice.
After all, that's what they are here for with one another: to remind one another that they are not invincible and keep the other in check. Batman was leaving his check by letting Joker run wild in Superman's city, so Superman put him back in check by reminding him that only HE cares about the Joker, not Superman.
When the writers actually like Superman.
When there finally isn't an over-abundance of kryptonite.

I think there's one crossover comic when the Joker meets the Punisher. Joker assumed Punisher would send him to jail like Batman always does. Once Joker realized just who he was dealing with, he basically shat himself

@@Random1567Not really.
@@Random1567 Joker in any interpretation is a mass murderer. In long running interpretations he has repeatedly shown that penal institutions cannot hold him and he has no intention of reforming, immediately going back to inciting fear and death among civilians as soon as he was able. Frankly by this point Joker is less a test of a hero's restraint then he is an example of the perils of not taking decisive action when needed. This Superman is showing awareness of this and has basically put the hard line of 'you have had one chance with me, I am not going to give you another if you decide to threaten those I protect again'. Frankly the whole superman vs batman dynamic has always felt poorly written to their characters to me but if I was to judge this scenario I would say it was batman who earned fear and distrust not Superman.

A nice little reminder of why the Injustice universe is just that: an alternate universe. 99 times out of 100, Joker will fail at threatening or corrupting Superman. Not only because Clark is genuinely smart and clever enough to not fall for the Joker’s crap, but also because Superman acknowledges that 1 in 100 chance exists. This is why he shows up at the bat cave later on to lecture Batman. Bruce of all people should have known that setting up social experiments involving the Joker is playing with fire and that he should have known better.
Then again, I think why Joker succeeded in the Injustice verse is that with Luthor being an actual good guy in there, there was nobody willing to psychologically push Superman until he snapped.
i like the idea of the joker always winning against batman but being out of his comfort zone with superman....however joker could very easily break him if he knew enough about him which makes it a fun dynamic of "keep him in your city, you have nothing to lose"

I also like how Superman expressed his anger at Batman for letting the Joker go to Metropolis as part of a test for Superman.

It's so nice to see Superman written well. He's a decent, respectful fellow with very strong moral convictions and a desire to use his strength to spend his life helping people. Superman very carefully considers his every action because his immense power allows him to do almost anything, and the responsibility is enormous. As you'd imagine, he *despises* a person like the Joker. Barely anyone is a threat to Superman, so he takes no pleasure in hurting people. He uses exactly the right amount of force, both physical and psychological, to scare the Joker into submission and make the game boring and punishing for him. He doesn't even hold it against the Joker, after Superman had judged he'd shredded the Joker's pride badly enough he was more angry at Batman for letting this guy run around endangering people.

"I don't have a code. I just generally don't kill people." I love that line. It's not even Superman saying that it's right to kill or that he likes doing it. But Superman believes that his powers give him certain responsibilities. It would be unethical for Superman to turn some mugger's head into paste, because of the hilarious power discrepancy between the two. Even here, he doesn't immediately kill Joker but plays along with his game for a little bit, because he doesn't HAVE to kill Joker to stop him. But if a villain is going to hurt thousands of people unless he's stopped immediately? Superman's responsibility is to protect people, not criminals. He'll do what he has to.
yeah ultimately the rigidity of "it's never okay to kill one being to save many" is flawed - superman is powerful enough that he *usually* doesn't have to kill anyone but would if the good outweighed the bad. And if it leaves some sort of 'moral stain' or feelings of guilt on a person that's a burden he's also willing to take.

I never understood the Joker. He doesn't want people to laugh at his jokes, doesn't want anyone else to make them, and at least once to my knowledge he killed a comedian. His interest in humor is actually extremely narrow- it's like to him, it's just a weapon. Not something to be enjoyed on its own, not something to share, something that's just for him. He's actually pretty depressing...
He's the biggest joke of all.
@@Hekinsieden Burn.
@@HekinsiedenNow THAT'S a punchline
Considering that, in some versions of his past, Joker was a failed comedian who desperately wanted to make people laugh; as echoed here when he says "You try and you try. You go out there every night and you give them your best stuff ...".; it's pretty weird that he'd get upset that Superman laughed at his jokes. Maybe it's been so long since anyone (other than Harley maybe) has complimented his humor he dosen't know how to react anymore? Maybe because his humor couldn't get real laughs and make people happy, his shattered psyche now gets gratification from using his twisted humor to insult, frighten and unnerve his "audience"? But when Batman laughed at his joke at the conclusion of The Killing Joke, he seemed to enjoy it. Maybe that was because he was genuinely relieved that Batman didn't "beat the crap out of .." him? But again, here he seems almost disappointed Superman didn't get angry enough to want to hurt him. Maybe the writers intentionally use such inconsistency to make him seem more unpredictable? Or maybe they don't care about consistency? Maybe I shouldn't be looking for rhyme & reason in the behavior of a bat-§μ!+ crazy fictional character? 😲
@@ronn-ammon8975 It sure is easier to make people laugh through chemical (Joker Toxin) or forceful means than actually being funny. Imagine telling the Joker that even (insert your least favorite comedian) makes more people genuinely laugh than he ever will.
Injustice: true good ending
Technically it literally is the true good ending cus it’s canon
If only
Sounds more like a prequel, actually.
Like, after that, Joker came back with an actual devious plan that killed millions.
@@goblinounours this sounds like a good prequel lol. Joker always gets the last laugh.
@@Solo_man69 So there IS a canon? I thought Marvel and DC didn't bother to have an actual continuity at this point
After reading Death in/of the Family, the Killing Joke, and “The Fall” story from Arkham Knight. Hearing a symbol of Truth, Justice, and Hope tell this narcissistic mass murdering bastard that he ain’t shit is really satisfying.
God I love how the illustrator is able to make Superman look pretty friendly or generally unintimidating, not even looking super buff or anything, to making him look insanely terrifying with shading around the face. Being able to see Clark's eyes almost acts as the visual way of humanizing him. Even during the part where he tells Joker he's better than him, frowning and all he still looks more like just an upset father. But as soon as you look over, his eyes being obscured by his prepping his laser vision makes him incredibly terrifying.
Got that Saitama emotes on lock
Its JOCK who did the Brilliant art here (foolishly not visually noted anywhere).
> Check out his DETECTIVE COMICS _Black Mirror_ story. Its an Easy Batman TOP 10 #MustRead story!
_Jock,_ also just recently drew & wrote _A ONE DARK KNIGHT_ Batman one-off story, via DC BLACK LABEL (A magazine sized 140pg graphic novel). I had herd it was good.
That's why Superman refuses to use any sort of mask. He wants people to be able to look him in the eye and trust him.
He embraced his inner Homelander
Honestly, stuff like this is why Superman is one of my favourite heroes. Some people call him boring or a "goody too shoes" but I've always just seen him as a pretty cool and nice dude. The kind of guy you could just go out for a few drinks with and it it would be a chill time.
I think hes boring and terrifying to think about
For me, that depends more on his portrayal. This portrayal of Superman is AMAZING, but you don't always get this kind of respect for him.
To write Superman, you need to write a Good Person who is Pretending to be the Best Person imaginable
This version in particular seems a bit more on the scary side. I prefer the more wholesome versions.
@@matthewjutzen424i mean to be fair he’s dealing with a terrorist. he kind of has to be scary.
Superman found Joker's weakness: Emotional damage.
I honestly wanna see a comic that does the same, but with Bruce Wayne and Lex Luthor.
Imagine Bruce just waltzing into Lex' office, starting a friendly conversation with him, then plopping countless pictures of photo evidence that could actually get him in jail this time, along with threatening to buy out or drive out his company using Wayne industries. It could even finish with a like like "You're trying to fight an alien God, Lex. And yet, you yourself are barely more than just a man."
It honestly baffles me that they haven't traded villains once in a while, considering the Joker and Lex are both only effective against their respective hero because of their mind-games and access to kryptonite.
Superman vs the Joker: very dangerous mind games, making sure that the joker ends up not finding anything funmy
Batman vs Luthor: put down the laser gun or I'll buy half the company
To be fair, Luthor doesnt really neeeeed the kryptonite, he does often find other ways to match superman, depending on the interpretation. but you are right, Luthor's main defense against superman is hiding behind the law, and would leave himself vulnerable to batmans investigative skills.
Lex and Batman only work as characters when you realize the entire system is corrupt and they both exist because of it.
Evidence literally wouldn't matter. Lex would call it a joke, and it would be.
@@parry3439LOL
Lex could legit defeat batman, Batmans greatest strength is hes mind but Lex has basically made a living on running through each of Batmans apocalypse plans and actually trying them out in superman.
When it comes to combat Batmans superior martial prowess pales in comparison to Lex's arsenal thats meant to fight SUPERMAN of all things on the "legal/detective" side Lex is more than a match to beat batman or bruce in a legal battle (which at this point is about bribing with copious amounts of money)
I'm with superman on this one, this was so callous of Batman and it could have gone terribly wrong. Batman isn't a stranger to having his ideas blow up in his face: see Brother Eye and his contingency plans.
batman is like the programmer trying to design a user experience without any understanding of how to design an app lol
no shit you are on his side, the writers made batman looks like an asshole here

@@parry3439Elon Musk truly is Bruce Wayne

Batman’s no kill rule and Superman not having one, reminds me a lot of this one Doctor who Quote
“Good men don’t need rules, today is not the day to find out why I have so many.”- the 11th Doctor
I'd love to see the Joker vs the MASTER. Using the matter condenser / " shrink ray " which usually KILLS.
Not even the universe where Superman punched a hole in Joker's stomach was as brutal a dissection as what he did to him here.
Heck, Injustice Joker likely considered being murdered by Superman to be the pinnacle of comedy, getting a good guy to do evil and so on.
Here? A good guy is doing good and not fearing him in the slightest
@@llewelynshingler2173 take his gimmicks away, his tricks & toys & he's a sad pathetic waste of genetic material with a fragile ego..

Now i'm a batfan myself but on average Superman fans tend to be way more chill than my fellows and i respect that xd
What tf are you talking about 4:20
You mean the hot topic part?
ironicly Super man also roasted joker fanboys as well.
Honestly, most Superman fans like Batman, he's a good friend and a good foil to Superman. We just don't like BatGod when he shows up in Batman's place.
" on average Superman fans tend to be way more chill" not really, not even close. Superman fans are overly aggressive just to mock Batman with arguments like "but he is just a HuMaN"

SECONDED !
He has beaten batman many times
To be fair, “you all shop at the same hot topic” is a pretty good joke

Only Superman could, Batman has no superpowers with which to detect and dismantle the bimbas while conversing with the Joker
@@AnaMaria_2004 Batman is an absolute joke when it comes to the joker. If he actually wanted to dismantle the joker he could very easily. Except he doesn't, sure he has a code but he has killed before and killing the joker would be a great service to Gotham. One of the many inconsistencies with DC. Imo Joker is a D tier villain who is hyped up for no reason.
@@l6e6i6nlet’s use current Rebirth continuity as I am pretty sure this is a Rebirth story. Name a time where Batman has killed out of his own choice.
# 0001 Jason Todd did nothing wrong.........did I do the meme right?
It's an interesting way to deal with a God-like character.
In a normal confrontation, we already know who's going to win. Unless Joker has the magic rock he doesn't stand a chance.
Superman, then, in knowing that he can win no matter what, is free to try and talk to people. To take the nice route, or do something weird. If it goes wrong he can win as easily as a single punch.
Supes and Terry McGinnis
Both knowing the best way to beat Joker is to make fun of him 🤝
Superman basically reacted the exact opposite way of everything that the batman did. Batman always showed mercy to the joker. He always fell for his mind games and never laughed at his jokes. That's what made batman an entertaining person for the joker. If Joker has no interest in someone like superman and he realizes the situation he is in, then he is easily beaten.
But batman never failed for his mind games (Well sometimes, it would be boring otherwise), Jason did. (Red hood).
I mean, the size S shirt thing *was* legit funny.
also because joker often you know uses joker gas or creates a situation where if you do nothing people die
honestly both joker and batman seem badly written the joker doesnt even seem like the type to use regular old bombs maybe as a way to get batman to play his game with him needing to do a thing otherwise the puppy orphanage explodes and joker doesnt seem like the kind of guy to go after the more light hearted superman joker cant exist without batman so this entire comic seems like bad writing
@@larsthememelord3383 not to mention, the joker is literally ontop of a the DAILY PLANET, and he didn't bother to read a single news article about superman? Like bro he didn't even know he has laser eyes. that's not prep time, that's called not trying.
Batman also cant collect 20 bombs in 3 seconds. That's another factor
Batman was willing to jeopardize thousands of lives just to test Superman. That slap was justified.
Jesus the different looks Superman gives in this comic is top tier. From extremely friendly to smiling and relaxed to threatening with red eyes.
Honestly, this was great up until the part where it turned out to be a plan by Batman.
These two should almost be like brothers, and Batman would never put the lives of innocents at risk like that.
The stuff with Superman and Joker is great, if a bit on the nose, I think it's fair to point out that Superman doesn't kill, not as some rigid rule, but because he quite literally doesn't need to kill, if he did it would be excessive force 90% of the time, since he's so powerful, he can even take most super powered people in with little to no resistance.
Joker and Superman reminds me of Batman Beyond fighting resurrected Joker, when Terry said-
"Batman never talked to you much did he? That's probably why you were so fixated on him. I don't need a degree to figure you out. The real reason you kept coming back was because you never got a laugh out of the old man. Get a clue clowny, he's got no sense of humor. He wouldn't know a good joke if it bit him in the cape, not that you ever had a good joke. You make me laugh, but only because I think you're kind of pathetic."
What's funny is the other time the Joker he went to metropolis (Superman animated) he kidnapped Lois Lane, and then he went back again, this time tricking supes into ending her (Injustice). So he's dangerous.
@@Klongu_Da_Bonguthat just the injustice version so it not canon, if joker tried that in the main timeline it wouldn’t go the same way.
We can assume that, like always, Batman was confident in his plan 100% that no civilian casualties would happen because, well, reasons.
Also probably wasn't an exact plan, like the Joker got told by Batman to go fuck with Supes. Probably just figured he would sit and see what Supes would do in that situation.
I guess anyway I don't know this comics connections let alone the fucking name since these comicbook youtubers never put the name in an easy to see spot, if at all.
...I mean, this feels like a dig by the writer on Batman's comics in general. Edgy in a childish sort of way.
@@colbyboucher6391 I could see that, but it doesn't really match the spirit of Batman at the end, which by your view would be the point.
In my eyes though, it's very distracting since I've always seen Batman and Superman as being...for the lack of a better word, "better" than that. Since when it comes to what actually matters, they're a lot more similar than they are different from each other.
If the writers of injustice actually made superman like we all know and love:
I reaaaally like this version of superman. The "vague means unpredictable" idea is fun.

difference is batman is human hes not some superpowered god he is mortal every fight he runs genuine risk in the end one bullet is all it takes also you are the him believing he is never wrong out of your ass he atleast actually works with law inforcement and his no kill rule makes sure that the villians get an actual fair trial. superman doesnt hes the man of steel he can catch every criminal and still have time for coffee and TV superman can rid the entire world of crime yet he doesnt, same goes for flash. superman lacking a no-kill rule is absolutely terrifying because now you can be killed without trial by some god to whom you never even stood a chance against he atleast isnt helping on the fragile states index (having fair jurisdiction is important on the index having a big blue judge jury and executioner doesnt help)

Nah I Superman didn’t kill the Joker because he had NO need to. He beat Joker at his own game before the Joker could even start.

That bit about the code is important. Superman _does not have one_ like batman does. He's just a good person trying to do good things, and for the most part that means "don't kill people". This is also why superman doesn't injure people like Batman does - he doesn't believe that's good either, unless you earn that shit (which is why he backhanded batman into a car for putting people in danger to feed his ego). Batman, in contrast, will break everyone bone in your body, but he won't kill people _even when its insane or unethical not to_ because "Batman doesn't kill".
a corpse cant get a fair trial.
superman is judge jury and executioner he decides justice and nobody can do anything about it.

So...he cannot kill other humans, that would put him at the same level of criminals. And he can't even ask or allow the JL to kill Joker for him, because that would basically entitle them to feel superior to humankind, which won't do either. It would be easy on a practical level? yes, of course. But morally, it would be one hellish decision no matter how you look at it.

“the writers always make him into a joke”
How many Superman comics have you actually read? Because he’s consistently like this when he’s angry….
Superman also "does not kill" - humans especially - even without an explicitly formulated rule. He just won't allow a psychotic mass murderer to feel safe in his presence or (worse) take any form of pleasure out of interacting with him, which, in turn, is precisely the reason why Batman and Joker exist in such perfect symbiosis. They are the living embodiments of order and chaos and, in all honesty, they both have a fetish for proving their points. Clark simply breaks that cycle.
I love this. The conceited Batman thinking he's the better of them and even DARE to test Superman. This version of Superman is the one I would love to see, clever and restrain , but not indulging. He knows the kind of crap Joker is and his anger towards Batman is totally justified. Batman has failed his own test. He let Joker hurt the people he cared the most ;and has the nerve to lecture Clark. I know the plot have to make them look as equals , but Superman is FAR superior to Batman. And not just power. Batman ALWAYS fails when it comes to Joker. Jason Todd , Barbara Gordon and hundreds of people hurt or killed by the Joker are proof enough. The thing with Superman is restrain, that's his deal. He could have ripped off Joker's head without him even noticing it. The crossovers and the JLA had to nerf Superman so the Alliance is justified. Anyway, this story is a rare case of writers showing how powerful Superman really is.
Kal-El could have just grabbed Joker , flown to the moon then dropped Joker, and waved bye,bye. Joker is really lucky not to have.. well I won't go any further.

Yeah, that was a case of poor writing of Batman. The idea Batman would set this up in and of itself doesn't track to me. Him not knowing in time I could buy, plenty of other things that might have him busy (Rash-al-ghoul dragging him across the planet comes to mind.) to the point that Joker has the time for this. Knowing that Bruce has such a massive 'no killing' thing, most of the scene could have been kept intact, with Superman's warning being a case of 'I know this would upset you, but you need to understand I won't play with Joker coming to my town.' instead of this. Story needed one more minor editing pass and it'd be a 10/10.
