Memories start to overflow her mind as she points the guard gun at the joker.

The tetanus nail thing is more irritating to me for a few reasons.

First, getting scratched by a nail isn't guaranteed to give somebody tetanus. In fact, I'm pretty sure the odds are pretty low that it will happen with just a scratch. So how many times did the Joker wander through the park scratching kids before his "master plan" finally came to fruition?

Second, I'm pretty sure that just getting scratched by the nail probably wouldn't cause tetanus. It would have to be a pretty deep wound that went untreated and caused the tetanus infection. If that's the case, how in all that is holy did the parents miss that?

(If my medicine is wrong, somebody please correct me. I am not a doctor.)

Third, the entire thing puts the Joker on the same level as old ladies who put razor blades in apples on Halloween. Evil, yes, but not exactly comic book level supervillainy.

Personally, my ideal Joker is one who fluctuates from the somewhat harmless Silver Age villain to the deadly madman from the modern era. When he breaks out of Arkham, maybe he's going to blow up an orphanage...or maybe he's just going to head to a comedy club. The danger lies in not knowing, and the fact that what seems like a minor crime could turn out to be something huge and vice-versa.

I'm not a doctor either, but you're right, there isn't any way in hell that the parents would have missed the fact that their child was bleeding. And just thinking aloud here, but aren't babies vaccinated against tetanus anyway? Or is that when they're a bit older?

*Nods* It's the unpredictability. Even the Silver Age Joker had a certain style and imagination that's lacking in Mr Tetanus Nail. Doing ridiculous rockstar stuff like riding a giant chicken down the street. Committing crimes that were more like grandiose publicity stunts than actual crimes. Okay, so he was only knocking off banks and whatnot, but he did it in this gloriously OTT way.
