The scene where Batman breaks Clayface's leg when he tries to "share his disease" with him.And his follow-up "joke" about a new father going to see his wife and baby in the hospital.Joker just wanted to fuck with them because that's exactly something the Joker would do under normal circumstances, but it's April Fools, so Pearl gets a pass. In case you didn't get the joke Pearl is completely fine by the time Batman and Gordon get there.She drew it with this pencil The one I've just sharpened. Joker: She just drew me a beautiful house. Pearl wants to be an artist, don't you, Pearl, darling? Joker: Pearl is nineteen years old She just started to work here in the kitchens here to earn some extra money. Gordon: What that noise? Can you hear it? Scratching. Joker: We have SO many friends here, sweetheart. Batman and Gordon hear this horrific moment where Joker brings forth a hostage named Pearl to the phone.This is one of the scariest portrayals of the character.

How he talks about stabbing eyes out, divine madness, men who are pranked into thinking that their wife gave a safe pregnancy and then the doctors and nurses yell "April Fool's, your wife is dead and the baby's a spastic!" while at the same time blowing a guards head off. He doesn't have speech bubbles at all, he has demented blood red letters splattered all over the page in all caps it really gives you a feeling about how he talks and his manner. ◊ Above all the creepiest thing about him though? What he says, does, and how he says it. The way that he is drawn, pale skin contrasting with the dark tones, surreal art that frequents between detail and everything being blurred makes it among the most terrifying ways the Joker is drawn ever. The way that he has high heels, long fingernails, and he slaps Batman's ass. As often is, just as much the way the Joker acts.If you don't plan on sleeping tonight, see him for yourself ◊. The Joker looks absolutely terrifying in this story.
