I love how instead of being angry he's just jealous of Batman's arsenal.

[AgentofChaos]

Kills a room filled with over a dozen people, comes in starts dancing to Prince music and vandalizing all the art in the room.
This is the Joker.

[flybygger]

The way Joker shift from being goofy to intimidating is masterful

[TonyGiannamore]

I love how Joker has a goon to just walk around with a boom box for his own soundtrack. This kind of stuff needs to be in modern adaptations of the joker

[jaykdos]

I love how Jokers gang genuinely look like they're enjoying themselves. He must be a fun boss.

Before he kills you, I mean.

[macstorm]

I will never forget that line so masterfully delivered by Jack "do i look like i'm joking"

[sheeplastname]

The best thing about the Joker, is that even out of context this makes sense.

[ellenwheeler]

funny line nobody notices 3:56 "I was in the bath one day when I realized I was destined for greatness" as in his chemical bath at the beginning of the movie

[stevepaul]

I love Nicholson's Joker. He's sinister with a wicked sense of humor.

[a.t.m]

Jack Nicholson will always be a legend

[randomdev]

I love how joker's men are always smiling and actually look like they're enjoying working for the joker while other jokers have their henchmen work for him out of fear.

And I love how joker has a guy who's one job is to follow him around with a boom box, if you pay attention he made more than one appearance.

[godalful]

Seeing Jack Nicholson fully embrace being a goofy cornball going up to Vicki is one of the best parts in a movie filled with best parts.

[jonathanmoran]

I can't get over how hilarious the Joker's "I'm melting" prank was. It's almost as if he did it just to say " what did you hope to accomplish by throwing water at me?"

[cameron]

"Where does he get those wonderful toys?" Great line!

[wojtek]

6:30 - me, seeing it as a kid: 'Such a cool scene'. Me, seeing it 25 years later: 'Such a cool scene!'

[GreasyFox]

To be fair this Batman film has the charm of the 60s series and the spookiness of the 90s.

[WorldwideWyatt]

I love that Prince’s music is something that’s actually *IN* the movie, playing on Joker’s boom box.

[tuxedotservo]

When I was younger, I focused a lot more on the humor (subtle and otherwise), but re-watching these scenes - wow, I didn't realize in 1989 how dark this all was. Behind the charm and playfulness of this Joker is a cold-blooded killer and a sociopath.

[aaronepstein]

Those Batman glass ceiling entrances are always superb even back in 1989

[streetrat]

The most comic accurate Joker ever put on film
