One Perfect Moment - The Joker meets his match!
This perfect moment is from Impulse #50



Bart is on the hunt for practical jokes he can use on Superboy and Robin. The warehouse for mail order joke company is in Gotham, so he pops along to see what he can find, but discovers that the Joker has taken the place over and Batman is lurking outside in an uneasy standoff.

The whole story is a classic, but I've always loved this little exchange. Through a series of events, the Joker has manoeuvred Impulse into running around doing all sorts of silly things just for giggles (You can see the results in the first few panels), until even the Joker realises he might have finally met his match;





Say what you like, the kid's right! :D

...Who owns the shares for that company?

I can't be the only one cackling as I imagine Bats outside waiting.

I would pay good money to see "Wayne Industries" on the side of one of the boxes

That's why I love it, the moment of insanity meeting the utterly literal and being brought to a screeching halt! :D

I love how sinister Joker looks here compared with Bart's clueless expression (:

Check out the first scan, second panel. Did the Joker make Impulse steal Elvis's tomb?


0__0

That has to be one of the worst things he's ever done. Almost as bad as stealing that report card.

There's a Crow T. Robot hiding in that panel, too. What else can we find in there?

Don't worry; a later panel shows that the coffin was empty except for some lead weights.

I'm also amused that Joker's poetry is happy faces and squiggly lines.

I will never again pass this place without thinking of the Joker:

I think his meeting with Riddler was much more epic.

Impulse: I thought you were a hero. Getting justice and all that stuff. But didn't you not have a face?
Riddler: ...That's the Question.

It was Max and the other guy tied to chairs watching which makes that scene for me.

Other guy - "He really has NO idea who the Riddler is, does he?"

Max - "No. I should be annoyed, but it's just so much fun to watch!"

I miss this Bart. So much. So so much.

Why, Geoff Johns. Why did you have to ruin him so.

He's allergic to fun. It causes him to go into anaphylaxis, so he has to remove all traces of fun.

On S_D, it's never just you.

Look at the comment more literally, and not as a question, but a statement.

So instead of

"What rhymes with obnoxious, irritating, fleet footed super brat?"

Bart hears it as

"What rhymes with obnoxious, irritating, fleet footed super brat"

And it's obvious to him that it doesn't. "What" doesn't rhyme with "obnoxious, irritating, fleet footed super brat"
