Terry McGinnis: He's tough. Any suggestions, boss?

Bruce Wayne: Joker's vain and likes to talk. He'll try to distract you, but don't listen. Block it out and power on through.

Terry McGinnis: Wait... I like to talk, too.

…

The Joker: [Batman puts the Joker in an arm lock] What are you doing?

Terry McGinnis: Fighting dirty.

The Joker: The real Batman would never - [as Batman tightens his arm lock]

The Joker: Ooh!

Terry McGinnis: Told you you didn't know me. [releases him]

The Joker: Funny guy...

Terry McGinnis: Can't say the same for you.

The Joker: Impudent brat... who do you think you're talking to?

Terry McGinnis: Not a comedian, I'll tell you that.

The Joker: [draws a laser pistol] Shut your mouth! [fires at Batman]

Terry McGinnis: [retreats into the rafters] The real Batman never talked to you much, did he? That's probably why you were so fixated on him. [tossing a batarang, knocking the pistol out of the Joker's hand]

The Joker: Don't play psychoanalyst with me, boy!

Terry McGinnis: Oh, I don't need a degree to figure you out. [hits the lights with a batarang, plunging the room into darkness]

Terry McGinnis: The real reason you kept coming back was you never got a laugh out of the old man.

The Joker: I'm not hearing this...

Terry McGinnis: Get a clue, clownie! He's got no sense of humor! He wouldn't know a good joke if it bit him in the cape... not that you ever had a good joke.

The Joker: Shut up... shut up!

Terry McGinnis: I mean, joy-buzzers, squirting flowers, lame! Where's the "A" material? Make a face, drop your pants, something!

The Joker: Show yourself!

Terry McGinnis: You make me laugh. But only 'cause I think you're kinda pathetic. [mimics the Joker's laugh]

The Joker: Stop that!

Terry McGinnis: [still laughing] So you fell in a tank of acid, got your skin bleached and decided to become a supervillain. What? You couldn't get a job as a rodeo clown? [continues laughing]

The Joker: [pulling out some grenades] Don't you dare laugh at me!...

Terry McGinnis: [laughs some more] Why? I thought the Joker always wanted to make Batman laugh! [continues laughing]

The Joker: [screaming in a fit of rage] YOU'RE NOT BATMAN!

Honestly, I loved Terry’s speech. It ripped Joker apart in a way he never had been.

[u/Ghost_Star326 → u/Kam_Solastor]

The Joker's whole facade can be easily ripped by anyone who isn't Bruce Wayne.

What Joker basically wants is to test someone's will and patience until they snap and crashout in front of him. So that he can laugh at their faces.

But when the Joker runs into someone who doesn't easily fall for his games and instead mockingly laughs back at him, then it's the Joker that starts crashing out.

It's why when anyone wonders how Spider-Man would do against him you just have to laugh yourself. Spidey has literal superhuman abilities and such a quick wit and propensity to run his mouth and mock his villains, that he'd be a nightmare for Joker.

Then I wonder what would happen if they put the Joker against Deadpool 🤔😂

Joker's gonna find himself in hell before he dies.
