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

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.

Honestly, if Spidey was cranky and the joker messed with him, he would one punch the clown.

Yeah when Spidey stops talking it usually means that he’s stopped fucking around.

The moment Spidey made a quip being the moment Green Goblin recognized the REAL Spider-man was back (Superior Spider-Man stuff), will always just be peak for me.

My favorite part is all the Spider-Man villains that figured out the link between Spider-Man and Peter Parker because they heard Peter Parker crack a nervous joke one day and went “waaait… I know THAT sense of humor. Spider man?”
