Why do you think he constantly breaks out of Arkham causes trouble laughs with Batman and always fails to kill him?!? They were literally made for each other. The Joker really has no purpose with out Batman. No he isnt really dead. You cant kill him. This shows the reason why the Joker has always (and always will be) my favorite villain.
@williamstark9568 | Now It’s A Self-Fulfilling Prophecy After The Death Of Kevin Conroy…😔🪦🌹 Mark Loved Kevin Like A Brother, And The Reason Why His Favourite Line Is Without Batman Crime Has No PunchLine”, Is Because He Won’t Know What To Do When Kevin Dies. Especially That He Is Retiring The Role As The Joker After His Death.
This is why I love The Joker. Most villains would be glad that the hero is dead and would probably congratulate whoever killed them. The Joker on the other hand gets upset, throws a funeral for Batman and even avenges him by killing the guy responsible for his death.
He would probably comment on how fun it's been trading blows with him all these years or how much of a boring stiff he's become now (he'd only really kill the Bat if he wouldn't be fun to break anymore), and then go silent until he finds out about someone else that can entertain him.
I feel like anyone who tries to write the Joker in live-action again needs to watch this scene to really get what the dynamic between him and Batman is. If they can't grasp the significance, then they shouldn't be writing him.
He either would have killed himself or go non-functionally insane. As he said, without Batman, crime has no punchline. Jokers only real motivation in life is to be the Yin to Batman's Yang. He wants to play the game. He doesn't really care about the outcome because either way he wins. If he kills Batman he wins (but I honestly doubt he ever would tbh, he'd end up like this), if Batman kills him he wins because he broke him. I think that's his ultimate goal, to break Batman, to push him over the edge. We even see him say that in Mask of the Phantasm.
RIP Alreen Sorkin. Thank you for voicing such a cute, energetic, and mentally insane character that we have grown to love and occasionally sympathize over the years. To help offer our sincere condolences to her beloved Puddin', the number of likes on this comment is the number of pair of socks for the Joker. He's going to need those socks more than ever now that Harley is gone. Could someone start playing the Kazoo? That's what Harley would have wanted.
Did the Joker just make a touching speech about his relationship with Batman, then lock a guy in a coffin and dip him in acid? Wow, really shows how psychotic the guy is, as he said, it's all a game to him. And if he doesn't win it, then he gets angry. You wouldn't like him when he's angry.
And there we have it...long before "Emperor Joker", it was clear. Without Batman, the Joker is literally nothing. He needs him to exist. He honestly expects him to survive every attempt he's ever made on his life and to be continuously stopped by him. Just like he says in "The Dark Knight": "you complete me".
The moment you realize that batman and joker are better friends then most of the people you know How many of your enemies would give a heartfelt eulogy at your funeral
Maybe it's just nostalgia, but I truly think this is better than most new stuff. There's a certain lack of shame to it all. An almost uncensored depiction of the darkest humanity. And such a modest man I've become regardless, if I do say so myself. Certainly we have grown overprotective of our younger generations, have we not?
I actually had the same perspective with Law and Order SVU. Where I held the belief that "Oh man, the older ones were BAD (In degree of subject, that is, like way worse things happened) but these newer ones fifteen years later are super tame." Though every time I see one from the first dmfew seasons, it's always something like the run of the mill attack in the park or something. Whereas the newer ones are about human trafficking and little kids subject to years of torture and such. Which led me to wonder, why the early ones were so much more extreme. I've deduced that it's because despite having the first Law and Order series, SVU came through with what was at the time, a rather heavy subject matter that shows weren't really doing, due to how extreme and of bad taste such a thing was. Whereas 15 years later, after upping the ante to still be able to "Go there" for the shock value, I think it's just that we're (people in general I suppose) are so desenstised by all the years of it, that seeing the newer ones doesn't have the "Holy shit, that's fucking crazy" reaction, even though it's much worse than what they used to show.
Overprotective ? That Batman cartoon is almost no danger for a kid to watch... Just look at the things they put on Cartoon Network in 2019.. those are the kind of totally crazy, insane and truly damageable for the mental state of the children. Overprotective ? Pure hypocrisy from the cartoon producers and state censors. They say they want to protect the young’s but they just want to control them and produce a generation of complete instable retards, with depressive tendencies.
If this cartoon was aired today: Parents complain to the network that their kids are traumatised. Network cancels the cartoon. Cartoon is replaced by something shitty like Ben 10. WW3 begins
It gets even more heartbreaking when you take into account of what has happened in the outside world now. Kevin Conroy, the most iconic voice of Batman, has passed away, and Mark Hamil, who is voicing the joker here, no longer wants to be in the role anymore now that his other half has gone.
He said that? Wow. I loved him before but I love him even more now. That's incredible and shows how much Mark respected and loved working with Kevin. "Without Batman, crime has no punchline."
Nowadays, Mark Hamill announced that he will no longer be The Joker, because without Kevin Conroy as Batman, then, it is over. This episode truly said it true...
@@justinharvey7398 y'know, the funny thing is in one of the Batman games, Joker directly injects Batman with a life threatening virus or disease So like he's not above that kinda shit lol
@@quinnlee-miller9792 Arkham City, and yeah. But that was only to force his help to get a cure. Funnily enough that that's counter to my original comment.
The reason why this Batman animated series was the most epic cartoon series ever - The darkness started right from the second the title music played at the start of each episode. Subtle and dark themes are more scary than crapy nonsensical violence on TV now! For me some of the episodes of this series were more chilling than TDK!
Exactly. People now believe dark themes are achieved via a melacholic world building and gore violence. But the greateness of darkness is truly showcased when it creates a cold atmosphere. One which represents both fantasy and reality at the same time.
With Harely (love her btw she's hilarious) he was honestly experimenting with love, trying to understand it. But, it's clear he loves Batman, he wants Batmans attention and he'll go to extreme lengths to get it. For Joker, when Batman and him fight, whether it me physical or out playing the other in wit, it's like a dance. This is a prime example, if there's no Batman to stop him, to dance with him then what's the point? He's never bored with Batman and he believes that Batman feels the same way, and in some ways, he's 100% right! In a comic, Superman kills the Joker and Batman was speechless, later Superman confronts him saying "You loved him didn't you?" THIS IS CANON. DAMN CANON.
rasheedqe Cartoons aren't the same anymore. They're all about friendship and teamwork. UGH! I mean look at the series "Batman: The Brave and the Bold". It makes batman look like the friendliest most approachable guy in the universe.
rasheedqe Can't say I've seen that one. I've seen parts of a few episodes when my GF's younger siblings were watching it on TV, shit made me gag it was so happy.
No not really the actual Luthor would also be mad if that happens he sees superman as a worthy adversary he will only be happy if he himself or someone working under him can kill superman

Wisdom State of Mind He actually did once in the comics he thought when Batman died. Got himself a nice girl and everything.
@Malchik Blue then he went full on a murder rampage when the Dark Knight returned.
in comics he does. After Batman retires Joker ends up a vegetable that doesn't talk or move. He only came out of his shell when Batman returns.

RIP Ms. Sorkin. The original and BEST Harley Quinn.
I believe I speak for us all when I say for every Luke Skywalker there is an evenly good Joker
Take note, Vader. THIS is what your son would have been like if you'd actually persuaded him over to the Dark Side.
+spiritgirl41192 Darth Joker.
Oh, jeez. 0_0
Imagine the Joker going up against Emperor Palpatine! THAT would be a Boss Fight!
The Joker is better than Luke Skywalker
Rest in peace Kevin and Arleen. You will always be my Batman and my Harley.
4:04 The Joker: the only man in Gotham to weep for Batman's passing.
Villain actually
Alfred as well
Pretty sure Dickie shed a few 😂
"There is no punchline"-Joker 2019.
"Without Batman there is no punchline"-Joker BTAS.
Coincidence? I think not.
"Well, that was fun! Who's up for chinese?"
As long as you're payin', I ain't complainin'!

Well, today is YOUR lucky day!
Mark Hamil says He can't do the joker's voice now that Kevin is gone.
Ashame.
Imagine Mark pulled up to the funeral and said this exact Eulogy Kevin would be laughing from heaven
@@rusty7984
If he did, that would’ve been the greatest thing ever.
He said that? Wow. I loved him before but I love him even more now. That's incredible and shows how much Mark respected and loved working with Kevin. "Without Batman, crime has no punchline."
The closest now is Troy baker’s split personality
@@justinharvey7398 The closest now is Troy baker’s split personality
Nowadays, Mark Hamill announced that he will no longer be The Joker, because without Kevin Conroy as Batman, then, it is over. This episode truly said it true...
The closest now is Troy baker’s split personality
Mark fucking Hamill
+Uncle Ben yup, that man is a f-in wizzard with his voice! :)
+Malefizia wrong son, he's a jedi

**waves her hand, best obivan-imitation** you dont need to correct this comment.. ;))
Malefizia he was wrong, Mark is a jedi
The ZombieMan humor isnt your thing, right?
Joker, learning Batman died from cancer: I WILL ERADICATE DISEASE SO HELP ME GOD
I need to see this alternate universe where Joker inadvertently cures cancer because of this. Like, right now.
@@justinharvey7398 y'know, the funny thing is in one of the Batman games, Joker directly injects Batman with a life threatening virus or disease
So like he's not above that kinda shit lol
@@quinnlee-miller9792 Arkham City, and yeah. But that was only to force his help to get a cure. Funnily enough that that's counter to my original comment.
@@quinnlee-miller9792 what was my point again? Lol
@@justinharvey7398 I dunno but I can see Joker both giving Batman cancer and then curing cancer after Batman is dead
This hits hard after Kevin Conroy's passing last year. RIP Kevin Conroy 11/30/1955-11/10/22
It hits harder now
@@TrashQueenAndKing that's what I meant
The closest now is Troy Baker’s split personality
new level of deep now that Conroy is gone
The closest now is Troy baker’s split personality
The reason why this Batman animated series was the most epic cartoon series ever - The darkness started right from the second the title music played at the start of each episode.
Subtle and dark themes are more scary than crapy nonsensical violence on TV now!
For me some of the episodes of this series were more chilling than TDK!
Exactly. People now believe dark themes are achieved via a melacholic world building and gore violence. But the greateness of darkness is truly showcased when it creates a cold atmosphere. One which represents both fantasy and reality at the same time.
Every episode must have used 10 barrels of black ink.
@@barone8889 Well articulated.
I wish that this series was rebooted or remake it while Mark Hamil is still alive.
@Luis Velez Yup. The reboot we need. I need with the same animation🔥🔥
Joker may be a manic but he has honored his archenemy
"Put them back, Harley"
That's the saddest I've ever heard him.
Anyone else think he loves Bats more then Harl?
That's basically canon
@@WickedKnightAlbel That IS canon.
With Harely (love her btw she's hilarious) he was honestly experimenting with love, trying to understand it. But, it's clear he loves Batman, he wants Batmans attention and he'll go to extreme lengths to get it. For Joker, when Batman and him fight, whether it me physical or out playing the other in wit, it's like a dance. This is a prime example, if there's no Batman to stop him, to dance with him then what's the point? He's never bored with Batman and he believes that Batman feels the same way, and in some ways, he's 100% right! In a comic, Superman kills the Joker and Batman was speechless, later Superman confronts him saying "You loved him didn't you?" THIS IS CANON. DAMN CANON.
Tbh, I think male loves female only based on sexual desire. If male could cast that out male could focus on his real fun, real business.
@@freekillew What?
Harley playing that trumpet is comedy gold 😂😂😂😂
Arleen Sorkin and Kevin Conroy Rest In Peace you both will be missed
This hits different knowing Kevin is gone
The closest now is Troy baker’s split personality
i would just like to remind everyone that this was kids cartoon man was it great to be a 90 kid
rasheedqe Cartoons aren't the same anymore. They're all about friendship and teamwork. UGH!
I mean look at the series "Batman: The Brave and the Bold". It makes batman look like the friendliest most approachable guy in the universe.
Shane Egan until the episode where he met Joe chill.He was 10 seconds from murdering that guy
rasheedqe Can't say I've seen that one. I've seen parts of a few episodes when my GF's younger siblings were watching it on TV, shit made me gag it was so happy.
Shane Egan It gets pretty interesting.But it is goofy.
Shane Egan Some of them are still as serious as Batman was. Avatar: The Last Airbender, and Star Wars: The Clone Wars are on that level.
Joker's speech was hilarious and also touching, I never thought that was possible. This is a work of art that should never be forgotten.
Meanwhile, Lex Luthor is just like: "Shiiiiit, I *wish* I had someone else just swoop down and kill Superman." 😂
I mean considering Superman villains 90 percent of them have the power to take over earth
No not really the actual Luthor would also be mad if that happens he sees superman as a worthy adversary he will only be happy if he himself or someone working under him can kill superman
Doomsday has entered the chat
@@zenituragaming5043 At the very least Lex would be analysing this new threat and plotting how to deal with them, maybe even considering an alliance.
@@zenituragaming5043 “I wanted a winning strategy! Instead I’m cheated of my victory by some intergalactic soccer hooligan!”
RIP Kevin Conroy
I like how joker didn’t even finish robbing the store and made his goons put everything back the way it was
And now the OG Harley Quinn is gone now. *RIP Arleen Sorkin* 😔
We're all feeling it now
Rest in peace o g Kevin Conroy you will always be my childhood batman and mark Hamill will always be my childhood joker
Its hard to figuew out who steals the scene more here... Joker or Harley Quinn.
RIP Kevin Conroy and Arleen Sorkin 😢
