Greetings nerdy list aficionados and welcome back t top 10 nerd we’re going to be giving
you a bunch of Joker lists yes it is joker time once more.
And we looked at heroic moments so now we’re going to look at scary moments.
And we have tons to choose from so if you like it we’ve got more we always have more
most amazing top 100 here we come.
I’m Sasha and these are the top 10 scary Things The Joker has done.
Let’s get started.
Number 10 - Cuts Off His Own Face – So this occurred during the new 52, well the new 52
wanted to up the edge the grit and the joker was already going pretty hard core post crisis
so new 52 we had to find a way to make it even more intense, and well what better way
than by having him cut his face off and this face oh it got around.
For awhile Harley had it and she put it on deadshots face and she made out with it.
Just it was a lot he would then staple his face back on.
Why did this happen cause they could really.
The joker has an iconic look so it’s kind of hard to play with but people will find
away and it was very much the mentality of yeah the joker is insane of course he would
cut his face off why would you question that.
You’re the crazy one.
Yeah this was a thing that happened is it more scary or gross you decide.
Number 9 - Injustice –So this one goes low because well it starts off an alternate universe.
And he dies pretty quickly in it what’s more scary is the ramifications his actions
have the ripple effect all the way down.
So in this verse which was a tie in to the video game initially fun fact and in it he
convinces superman that Doomsday is there but really he’s attacking Lois and their
unborn child ultimately killing them this pushes superman off the deep end and he goes
finds the joker and sticks his hand right through his chest and that panel is iconic
look at how shocked batman looks.
Well this leads superman down the path od despotism and gives us one cool alternate
verse.
Number 8 - Super Sane –ok this “fact” has been kicking around for a while In certain
stories it was implied that the joker wasn’t insane no he was super sane and hyper intelligent
with an awareness so keen he knew he was a comic book character and so did all the awful
things he could because none of it matters we are all just cruel puppets at the whims
of our masters.
This vacillates as do most things with the joker and the more accepted canon is that
he’s insane but if you say that prepare for that one person…umm actually he’s
super sane I can’t believe you would say that worst comic book fan ever.
The idea of a hyper sane joker is scary because part of how people rationalize his actions
is that they’re not something someone who could think through their actions would do,
but if he’s super sane then we’re all just one day away from trying to copyright
fish.
Number 7 - Jason Todd – The murder of Jason todd at the hands of the joker is an iconic
moment one of those that sticks out traversing canons and is even known to those outside
of the comic book fandom.
It’s horrifying for a few reasons the death of a child which raised questions about the
ethics of batman having child partners and also just for the line it crossed there were
some things that just were considered off limits and this changed that.
It also created years of pathos for Batman and Jason Todd when he returned would take
on the name the red hood which was allegedly the criminal alias of the joker pre joker
depending on your origin or if you believe he has one dark stuff.
It must be known that he didn’t beat him to death with a crowbar he beat him with a
crowbar then blew up the building he was in they just linger on that beating super hard
it’s pretty gruesome.
That’ll learn Jason to love his mom and have a distinct origin from dick how dare
he where’s my phone let me put it on redial for when they hold another vote.
Little comic book history joke for all you nerds out there.
Number 6 - Killed Comissioner Gordon’s Wife –So this occurred during no man’s land
the arc wherein a terrible earthquake rocks gotham and is divided into different areas
mostly controlled by villains.
The joker of course is spreading chaos and in one sequence has a bunch of babies he is
holding hostage.
Gordon’s wife sarah essen is pleading with him and seems to have gotten through to him
when he suddenly tosses a baby which she catches only for him to go merry Christmas and shoot
her point blank in the head.
It was really dark.
Commisioner Gordon would shoot him in the knee which Joker would find hilarious dark
moment but one that some people forget about.
Number 5 - No Fear – Scarecrow’s Toxin Doesn’t Work.
So the joker and scarecrow have worked together on occasion kinda but working with the joker
is always a risk and is it one worth taking you decide.
Well in one teamup the scarecrow tries to use his toxin on him only for it to now work
and for him to taunt crane going not bad what other flavours you got.
The joker would then proceed to beat him with a chair for the audacity of trying to uncover
some deep seated phobia.
Which he didn’t have.
There are some other classic ones where he replaces the toxin so it never hits him.
I dunno I think the joker would have a fear but something corny and romantic like a world
without Batman.
His nightmare we all know he loves him are we still pretending he doesn’t.
He loves Harley too though fight me.
Number 4 - Tim Drake Batman Beyond – So Batman beyond from the DCAU actually got pretty
dark and return of the joker was pretty intense so much so that there was a censored version
and an uncenszored one actually for the sequence we’re about to talk about.
During the flashback sequence of this film we learn about the day the joker went too
far and that was when he kidnapped tim drake robin at the the time in the dcau that’s
the animated universe continuity the second robin you have to be real specific cause if
not people are all alike fake nerd that’s Jason well ha you’re wrong in this unverse
it’s tim a tim who gets tortured and turned into a miniature version of the joker and
he was pretty far gone.
Tim actually kills the joker after the joker tries to get him to kill Batman it’s really
dark and sad.
Clip also years later it would turn out that the joker had left his imprint on him that
would force him to transform into the joker.
Again that was intense.
Number 3 – Paralyzing Barbara Gordon this occurs in the killing joke and is a polarizing
moment some fell it was exploitative and should never have happened while others feel it is
a powerful poignant moment that perfectly encapsulates the thesis of the story that
these twos rivalry is destroying them and the people around them in expanding waves
of collateral damage.
Some also feel that the panels of Barbara posed naked are exploitative as you can see
well her body.
There are many ways to interpret this story and it is a classic regardless of how one
feels about it also for all the people who love that batgirl variant cover I got your
back some feel that it’s a call to real world violence against woman and the fear
that some feel they constantly live in, but others feel that it’s art and of course
Barbara should look scared he hurt her it’s a call back just like all those variant covers
of him killing Jason which people don’t object too even though their oft times more
morbid.
Him paralyzing her it happened I loved this cover I though it elicited what it was supposed
to fear and horror also it was a variant.
And one always has to draw the line between fiction and reality the joker is a bad person
being depicted doing something bad to someone he hurt no one is off limits from the joker.
Also if you love morbid cover look at the horror variant for dceased number one Jason
is full on about to die again.
I get hating this cover its icky but it’s supposed to be.
Unpopular opinion I know but I like the cover and I’m not afraid to say it.
Number 2 – No definitive origin.
So the joker has had many origins but one of the fun things about him is that none of
them are true.
Or maybe one is but even he doesn’t know which one.
Many people cite the killing joke as his origin but that one is actually an elseworld’s
story which is why some are angry that Barbara was paralyzed in main canon because of it.
Which was admittedly odd even if what they did with her character after was amazing.
Still this is just one of the origins.
The joker likes to say that his origin is multiple choice which is why whenever there
is an origin some people protest so vehemently.
Do you have a favourite joker origin let me know down below.
Number 1 -The Batman Who Laughs – Yeah this is pretty scary I love how horrifying his
design is just imagine him coming towards you down a dark hallway maybe in an abandoned
hospital ick no thank you.
So let’s talk about both joker’s we have dark knights metal to thank for this so in
it Joker goes way over the line more so than usual and is jokerizing kids to recreate Bruce’s
parents death it was a whole thing he knew that Bruce was batman which I’m convinced
he already always knows.
Batman kills him joins the neck snap club and releases a bunch of toxin into the air
which batman breaths in and it changes him it jokerizes him and he becomes a terrifying
joker batman hybrid.
It’s just the design it’s so good.
So dark.
I know some people think it’s played out or now overplayed I mean he’s everywhere
he got a mini series, batman and joker had to team up to take him down but I’m basic
like a pumpkin spice latte an evil delicious pumpkin spice.
What do you think the scariest joker moment is please share down below there are so many
to choose from.
