I just love the Joker's reactions here.

They're fairly-- mild, which seems a bit out of character, but maybe he's having a bad day.

It still made me laugh!

[biod]

It's Joker's perverse enjoyment that sells the sequence. People don't write the Joker quite this well often enough.

[aeka]

I agree. Paul Dini writes an awesome Joker.

[icon_uk]

It's Dini, he "get's" the Joker like few others.

The word he used to describe him in an interview early in the BTAS days which convinced me the Joker was in good hands was "mercurial", and bycracky we saw that in spades with his writing and Hamill's performance. (Again, you can HEAR Hamill's voice in the above scenes, which is always a good sign for me)

Oh, Joker, you so disturbed.

Oh, Crane, you so disgustingly molesting.

Oh, Batman, you so adolescent power fantasy.

(but yeah, I half expected Joker to start touching himself)

It's a horrifying thought but the scary thing is the Joker is sick enough to do that *now needs brain cleanser*

Ever fap to the Batman in the pale moonlight?

Would you like your internet baked or fried?

[nezchan]

Wait, is Crane's head on backwards in the toilet scene?

[aeka]

I asked myself that same question earlier, and after much analysis, I have to go with 'yes.'

[former_callixte]

I know, right? I love Hamill as the Joker. (I always think of his Trickster in The Flash series as him practicing to be The Joker.)

DW needs a like or upvote button or some equivalent....

Top right hand corner of the last page - fap face for sure.

And that is the real reason Bats went to the trouble of trussing up Joker first....

No, his head is on right. His hands were tied in front of him. So the only explaination is...

His LEGS are on backwards!

If I saw Batman break INTO prison and beat a guy up I would be scared shitless for the rest of my life

[tsunamiwombat]

I mean can you think of a better 'scared straight' program?

You commit a crime. Batman beats you up and leaves you for the cops. man screw the bat. your processed. Suddenly the guards drop unconscious. Batman drops from the rafters, kicks the shit out of you again and just vanishes.

Sometimes, you wake up and he's standing in your cell. Staring at you.

By god I would poop my pants and never commit a crime again.

[tsunamiwombat]

Your in prison therapy. you look out the window. Batman is in the bushes. You scream- he's gone. In the shower- soap drops by your foot. a Shadow. Batman is standing behind you.

Your in the exercise yard. Batman is ontop the guard tower. Watching you.

[blackruzsa]

Joker comes off as tired here--odd on him, but it's hilarious all the same, the way he reacts. Maybe he's on his meds?

[akodo_rokku]

I think they're subdued because he's just overwhelmed by seeing Bats go so dark.

[renie_sulaweyo]

Wasn't there a Black/White story like that? Except, the guy was trying to stay out of trouble and tried to imagine Batman making sure he doesn't commit anymore crimes to motivate himself? I think the last page was Batman checking up on him and checking him off on a list.
This sounds a lot more scary than it actually was.

[runespoor]

Yup, from Gotham Kinghts #41, written by Brubaker. It's not exactly that he imagines Batman making sure he doesn't make any more crimes; he's definitely gone honest, but he imagines Batman watching him to judge if he's really changed. Right on the money about the last page.

I thought it was very heartwarming.

[arilou_skiff]

Panopticon, Batman-style.

[rdfox]

Maybe it's oh-dark-thirty and he really *is* tired, but can't sleep? (I've had that happen so many times... very frustrating!)
