Eh. I dunno - I was majorly bugged by the fact that Joker managed to track down a hunk of Kryptonite before Lex could. That in and of itself made the entire card castle come crashing down, since it established that there's no way he can be a blip on Superman's radar unless he's playing by the rules of Superman's world.

Also, it was kinda stupid of Lex to not just say "I'll buy the Kryptonite from you and let some PROFESSIONAL use it to kill Superman", was it not? Even if he has no experience with the Joker, there's nothing specific about him that makes him a prime candidate for an assassination job.

The Royal Flush Gang storyline in JL, while delightful, was also built on rather shaky grounds - we get a thirty-second clip of him somehow waltzing into Cadmus unopposed, and the kids for some reason follow his orders instead of ripping him apart (I can understand Ace doing it, but the others didn't seem "broken" in the least).

I also think that his reappearance in Batman Beyond shouldn't have gone into the whole laser satellite thing, and kept it to the small-scale cruelty of his torture of Tim Drake and the assault on the Batcave.
