One Perfect Moment - The DCAU Joker has a sleepover
A perfect DCAU moment for the Joker



In going through issues for "perfect moments", I've found several which deserve fuller attention at some point, but that'll have to wait. So here is a perfect Joker moment from Batman: Gotham Adventure #1.

The scenario - The millionaire father of a young man murdered by the Joker (Who was killed because he splashed mud on the Jokers new khaki walking shorts) has offered a $50 million reward to anyone who will kill the Joker for him.

In an effort to save his life from the many, many, MANY Gotham citizens who are keen to cash in on the offer, Batman takes the Joker to the Batcave for protection until he can sort things out. He, Robin and Nightwing head out to quell the rioting mobs, leaving Batgirl in charge of the prisoner.

As ever, best imagined with Mark Hamill's voice.



I was never a fan of this "look" for the Joker, but it's a fab little moment!

In the end, he puts the Joker in front of the man and tells him, "if you want the Joker dead, then kill him yourself" instead of letting him buy himself an assassin and change an otherwise innocent citizen into a murderer because he wouldn't do it himself. He's not just trying to save Joker's life, he's also trying to save everyone else who might be tempted by the money.

On the other hand, Batman also says that he only gave the father a chance to kill the Joker because he was sure that the father would have got cold feet.

That's part of the point. Buying a murder is all the more cowardly if you can't bring yourself to commit the crime yourself.
