best episode ever for joker

9.0

By yomynameiszach, Oct 15, 2011

This has got to be the best Joker episode of the series. It wasnt perfect because Joker did not get enough action involving batman. But other than that a well written episode.! !! ! ! d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d dd d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d dmoreless

With the villains they've been using this season they would have to make improvements to make Joker a threat, but they did.

9.9

Lex Luthor, Vertigo, Phosphorous and Mirror Master. Joker has had bank robberies, airwave highjacking, wierd joke crimes, and seeling people inside playing cards, none of them are anything compared what Joker did in this episode. A robbery of everywhere and blowing up all of Gotham city. The whole Barbara Gordon Robbery thing seemed suspicious, if Barbara Gordon Robbed a museum, wouldn't her father get involved and wouldn't he have noticed that it was her Dick Grayson and Bruce Wayne together and used that to figure out that Bruce Wayne is Batman. The only thing that was slightly disappointing was the "End of line" joke, but if they had missed it I would have complained.moreless

This episode was a bit obvious to me at first but I was damn wrong. At first I thought it was one of those "spend the whole epuisode hunting the villain" episodes but it led to a mystery of: Why is everyone going insane? When it became obvious of the reason, Joker captured the Bat team and left them to be destroyed. But there was a poor judgement lapse here: Joker had the Bat Team knocked out and took the time to tie them up rather then peeking under their masks. I found this out of Joker's character. Othere than that I thought this was a not Fantastic like "Two of a Kind" but more so above adverage.moreless

Very decent episode.

7.6

By gamerboy190, Nov 26, 2007

The Joker's return in this episode was very decent to a tee.

But some issues:

1. Plotholes: How did the light affect the people? Through nuerological senses? That should've been explained. The Batcave being too clse to the actual cave they were trapped in I'm still having some issues getting over with as well.

2. Joker: Suprisingly brilliant, but could've done better in my honest opinion. He had Batman right where he wants him, yet he leaves him unattended? He should've known Batman always have a way to escape. That was just crelessness on his part. But meh, it makes the episode.

But It's all good though. I'm not angry, just disatisfied to a tee.moreless

  Robin: Batgirl cave?!
  Batgirl: I'm old enough to have my own cave. I can park my cycle there, bring in some exercise equipment, a couple of bean-bags …
  Robin: How come she gets her own cave?
  I want my own cave!
  Batman: Nobody's getting their own cave.

  Bruce: Well, you're in luck. I think she's moved on to the main event.
  Dick: Comic books?
  Bruce: Shoes.

ADD ALLUSIONS
- Robin vs. Batgirl
  When Robin pins Batgirl (under Joker's influence) to the wall, she runs up the wall to get free. Robin used the same trick on Terra in the Teen Titans episode "Aftershock (1)". Apparently, this is where Robin learned that trick from.
