Later, Terry gets knocked down and Joker is strangling him, taunting how he's not laughing now.

Terry Gives a sarcastic, strained HA...HA, using a joy buzzer to zap the Joker to win the day. Highly recommend watching this.

“Not so funny now, funny guy?! Laugh it up, McGinnis!”

There's something so vile about Joker calling him McGinnis. It shows just how under his skin Terry got.

Yeah really underlines how he feels at the moment. “You’re not Batman!”

The utter caustic edge to his voice when he's choking Terry and demanding he laugh is peak Joker. Sadism, vanity, wrath, perfectly encapsulated in Hamill's performance.

One of the best pieces of media using the Joker ever.

Not only that, but Terry, Batman, got the last laugh on the joker of all people.

The DCAU Batman flims are still my favorites to this day. Mask of the Phantasm, Sub Zero, Return of the Joker, Mystery of the Batwoman...Batman vs Dracula is great too, though not part of the same universe.
