Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker	comment	Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker is a 2000 feature-length tie-in of Batman Beyond, the DC Animated Universe installment that focuses on Terry McGinnis, the Batman of a future Gotham and his mentor (an aged Bruce Wayne).Decades after his supposed death, The Joker returns to Gotham while being eager to face his old Arch-Enemy (or at least whoever is "pretending" to be Batman). Puzzling both Terry and Bruce is that The Joker seems not to have aged at all in the time since he supposedly died. Terry tries to solve this new mystery, but Bruce is almost killed by a personal attack from the Joker. Terry delves into old man Wayne's dark past, unraveling the long-kept secret of what split apart the Bat-Family and how the longstanding fight between Batman and the Clown Prince of Crime finally ended.The movie had the unfortunate timing of being produced right after the Columbine shooting, so several scenes were changed mid-production to lessen the violence. Warner Bros. held onto the original print, however, and later distributed it as the "uncut" version of the film.note This is the version almost universally seen on TV nowadays, not to mention pirate and streaming sources; the edited version is a lot harder to find, legally or otherwise.

One such skill: How to make a batch of anti-venom for Joker's personal poison. In the uncut version of the film, he shows that he is still capable of using a Batarang as if he were in his prime. Tim Drake has been retired from his position as Robin for 40 years, but he still retains some measure of his old skills and is able to hear a cloaked Batman coming "from a mile away".

The biggest handicap Terry has going into the final fight is that he can't actually kill the Joker or seriously injure him (as it's still ultimately Tim Drake's body). This is why Terry comes up with a plan on the fly for getting within striking distance of the microchip.

This is never explained although it could be a secondary effect of the technology he used to bring himself back to life, and Joker explains he has Bruce and Tim's knowledge and the latter's training combined.

This is subverted when he shakes it off, refuses to hurt Batman, and turns on the Joker instead. Then this is subverted when it's implied that, years later, Tim turned evil again and became the new Joker, probably as a result of the original torturing/brainwashing. Then that is subverted when it turns out that Tim has been completely unaware of the recent unfolding schemes; he only turned into the new Joker because the original had planted a microchip in his brain, thus causing his transformations.

Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker / int_1c445e86	type	Poor Communication Kills
Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker / int_1c445e86	comment	Poor Communication Kills: Bruce at first doesn't tell Terry why he wants the latter to hang up the Batman suit, at first saying that he pushed Terry too hard to take on such a burden. When Terry later finds out the real reason, he's sympathetic when Bruce admits that he was scared of the Joker torturing Terry and breaking him. Even so, Terry tells him he's not going to go that way, and they agree the police are no match for the clown. This time, Terry has an Ace up his sleeve (in this case, in the Batmobile) and Bruce's guidance. While Terry's learned about the old villains, Bruce has never discussed the Joker with him (and for good reason given all the pain and trauma the Clown inflicted). This hole in Terry's 'education' backfires here when the Joker seemingly returns...and Terry doesn't initially take him seriously. Terry thinks the Joker was just a wackjob who threatened people with squirting flowers and whoopee cushions (and his percpetion's also being influenced by his own encounters with Joker's 'legacy', i.e. the Jokerz Street Gangs). It's only after the Jokerz attack him and Dana (and after Joker almost kills Bruce) that Terry finally wises up and starts understanding why the Bat Family fears and loathes the Joker so much. Ironically, this poor communication is also part of what allows Terry to eventually beat the Joker. Because he lacks that context (and, more importantly, the shared trauma from those battles that emotionally crippled Bruce, Barbara, and Tim), Terry is thus able to view and analyze the Joker strategically — and in a way that even Bruce, for all his understanding of the Clown, never could. It thus allows Terry to counterattack in a way the Joker would never have anticipated or expected coming from 'his' Batman.

While saying that he knows Tim is working for the Joker, a confused Tim rouses and says that the Joker's gone, and asks how he ended up here. Terry helps him to his feet and notes that he's not lying, according to the Batsuit monitoring Tim's heartbeat. Tim then starts rambling about how he gave up all this "kid's stuff" ages ago and playing with one of the abandoned toys and saying it was all fun and games until...that night. Terry immediately gets worried, realizing that Tim is Not Himself, and offers to call an ambulance when registering that he's suffering a flashback. When Joker reveals that he's been taking over Tim's body and plans to make the change permanent, Terry changes his agenda to save Tim by shorting out the microchip that allows for it.

Tim himself says in both versions that he doesn't hold Bruce responsible for "the gory details", admitting he misses the "old man" and is happy to see him again while recuperating. In the original cut, it made more sense that Bruce didn't know how to handle the guilt because Tim was forced to kill the Joker to save Batman.

Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker / int_20a14df0	type	Wrong Genre Savvy
Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker / int_20a14df0	comment	Wrong Genre Savvy: While the Joker knows Bruce almost as well as a best friend (he did have access to Tim's memories) and could predict his actions very well, Terry makes it a point to let The Joker know that he doesn't know much about himself while kneeing The Joker in the crotch. More than that, Terry had an outsiders' perspective on The Joker though with in-depth knowledge from studying Bruce's old files, which meant he could more objectively find the flaws in The Joker's thinking and planning without the serious personal history that the original Batman had with the Joker. Since most of The Joker's plans revolve around goading Batman and making it personal to cloud Bruce's judgement and lure him into traps, this is utterly ineffective against Terry who just sees The Joker as a clown. The Joker doesn't take Terry's lack of respect well. Ironically, the villain isn't entirely wrong when he furiously shouts that Terry isn't Batman; Terry is a completely different type of Batman at least. On a similar note, after shattering Robin's mind and alienating Bruce from ever bringing another partner with him into the field again, Joker seemed to fully expect that his latest protege would follow suit as a solo act since Bruce would never repeat that same mistake. Sadly for him, while Terry typically works alone, he's far more pragmatic about accepting help than his predecessor. This comes back to bite the Joker hard when he has Terry at his mercy, but loses his hold on the situation because Terry brought backup.

Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker / int_22cf536c	comment	Chekhov's Gun: The Joker's orange-tipped "Bang!" Flag Gun. In a flashback sequence, the Joker tosses it to a brainwashed Tim Drake, who uses it to kill the Joker. It's a piece of easy to miss foreshadowing. Terry wondering how the Joker is still alive and kicking — clone, robot double, human clownsicle — until Bruce told him to cut it out. It's revealed that, technically, Terry was right on the very first guess. One of the Joker's hover-forklifts has a Jolly Jacks logo, complete with a matching design. Terry remembers this at the end of the movie and asks the Bat-computer to look up Jolly Jacks, getting an address to find the clown and notify Barbara.Â In the flashback, Joker and Harley sarcastically mention they didn't want to conceive a child, so they "borrowed" one to make into a Joker Jr. Joker wasn't kidding; he reveals later he implanted a microchip on Tim to make him into another Joker in the case that the Batman encounter went wrong. About halfway through, Terry dodges one of the Joker's booby traps by tricking it into destroying its own power source. The Kill Sat goes the same way when Terry and the Joker accidentally short out the controls.

This sends Joker off the deep end.

Then, when the manor becomes one of the first targets of Joker's Kill Sat, Bruce has a very visible Oh, Crap! on his face; there's no way he would be able to escape before the laser hits, especially in his condition note aside from his age, he has a limp, not to mention he's still recovering from the earlier attack. He can call for help, but that would take even longer since the manor is in the outskirts of the city. Joker even points this out.

This was how Terry knew how to go to the abandoned factory, as the director's commentary noted with a Lampshade Hanging. Unless you see that Joker's escape vehicle at the Wayne gala had the Jolly Jacks logo, a viewer may be confused as to how Terry knew to look for it. If you see the logo, then one may ask why neither Terry nor Bruce followed up on that lead in the first place. Bruce Timm and Paul Dini themselves admit they don't know how that clue didn't end up in the final cut.

Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker / int_30c40e9a	comment	Deconstructor Fleet: The flashback sequence presents why having a child fight crime is a terrible idea. In-universe, the characters Break Them by Talking offering deconstructions of their enemies. The Joker points out that, for all the fear he invokes being The Cowl, Batman is nothing more than a pathetic Manchild crying out for mommy and daddy after all those years. During their final fight, Terry hurls this insult right back at Joker by calling his clown-related gags lame. Tim Drake deconstructs the Kid Sidekick as a "Well Done, Son" Guy pathetically trying to please The Hero because I Just Want to Be You. When that doesn't happen, there comes the Fan Disillusionment: Terry admits that the Joker is a successful supervillain, but a pathetic comedian: he never made Batman laugh, nor corrupt or break him. He never was Affably Evil, just Faux Affably Evil. And after all, the natural enemy of a comedian is The Heckler. Harley Quinn deconstructs the Perky Female Minion into Cute and Psycho after helping the Joker torture Robin, showing us that she was just another criminal. Batgirl conveniently forgets that the only one of Joker's potential victims Harley defended in the series was Poison Ivy and Arkham Asylum's inmates. Harley was perfectly okay with the Joker torturing and killing Harvey Bullock, Charlie Collins, Sid the Squid, Carl Francis, Thomas Jackson, Batgirl's own father Commissioner Gordon, etc...: The Cowl is deconstructed because while Batman is completely devoted to his mission, the Bat-Family and Harley want to grow up, have families, and get much more out of life than playing the infinite Cycle of Revenge that will eventually leave Batman Lonely at the Top. The disturbing conclusion is that the only relationship that ultimately will ever last for Batman is the Foe Romance Subtext he has with the Joker. As we see at the page quote, The Joker was truly special for Batman; he's the only one fully willing to forever accept and embrace Batman's role as the Determinator. The Chessmaster is deconstructed when everyone of the grown-up Bat-Family distrusts the Batman for his manipulative tendencies. Kid Hero: Batgirl seems to think Even Evil Has Standards and Harley Wouldn't Hurt a Child. And Robin: Locked Out of the Loop also gets a painful deconstruction, because the old Bat Family's refusal to come forward with the truth Terry needs about the Joker gets him fed up to the point where he quits. Of course it doesn't stick, but the damage the Joker does in the short span of time ends with Dana hospitalized and Bruce and Ace nearly dead. Terry eventually coaxes the story out of Barbara, citing that he's involved in this mess whether they like it or not, and convincing Bruce to allow him to face the Joker. Arch-Enemy is also deconstructed, as while Batman talked about most of his Rogues Gallery, he specifically avoided mentioning Joker because of what he did to Tim Drake. The Dark Knight points out that it "wasn't a popularity contest", claiming that Joker only sought to make him "laugh" and dismissed the Foe Romance Subtext he had with the clown. In the end, Bruce never considered The Joker anything more than an insane man who hurt others just to get a reaction out of him.

Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker / int_3ed23024	type	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker / int_3ed23024	comment	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: After stopping the Jokerz in the Cold Open, Terry tries to go out and dance with Dana. Bruce tells him he ought to get some sleep since he's been up all night, but Terry assures him he's fine. One Gilligan Cut later and Terry is fast asleep in the nightclub. Bruce regaining control of Wayne-Powers. With the downfall of Paxton Powers in "King's Ransom" (and Derek Powers long presumed dead since "Ascension"), the influence and control the Powers family had over Bruce's company is now gone. Of course Bruce would take advantage of this long-awaited opening to try and finally regain control of his family's company. One might also imagine the Wayne-Powers shareholders and board members (minus Jordan Pryce) supported Bruce's return both because of his standing as a veteran captain of industry and as damage control in the wake of Paxton's scandal (and the previous damage from his father's exposure as Blight). Assisting criminals with sabotaging your own company (as well as trying to get rid of the CEO) will get you in trouble with the police, even if you're a high-end corporate executive. At first Tim understandably seems bitter that Bruce retired him, and how his hero career ended with torture, brainwashing and murder. 10-Minute Retirement, after all, is supposed to be a thing. He admits, however, that Bruce made the right call. After the trauma, Tim needed a new direction and focus because you can't exactly throw yourself back into a similar situation and expect to heal. At the end, it's made clear that he considers Bruce as a good father and missed him. Joker stabbed Bruce in the leg, deep enough for the blade to lodge into his knee. Yikes. Normally Batman walks off a bad injury. Not this time; to the present day, Bruce walks with a limp. Once again Bruce's old age becomes detrimental: when Joker attacks Wayne Manor, he couldn't fight back, and would surely be dead if it wasn't for Terry's timely return. Then, when the manor becomes one of the first targets of Joker's Kill Sat, Bruce has a very visible Oh, Crap! on his face; there's no way he would be able to escape before the laser hits, especially in his condition note aside from his age, he has a limp, not to mention he's still recovering from the earlier attack. He can call for help, but that would take even longer since the manor is in the outskirts of the city. Joker even points this out. In the flashback sequence, Barbara mentions that Arkham Asylum was eventually abandoned and moved to a new, more modern facility some time after the ending of TNBA. Between how antiquated the old Asylum was shown to be during BTAS and the completely ineffective security measures, it makes sense that Gotham would finally invest in a newer facility rather than continue to play the existing Zero Sum Game.

More than that, Terry had an outsiders' perspective on The Joker though with in-depth knowledge from studying Bruce's old files, which meant he could more objectively find the flaws in The Joker's thinking and planning without the serious personal history that the original Batman had with the Joker. Since most of The Joker's plans revolve around goading Batman and making it personal to cloud Bruce's judgement and lure him into traps, this is utterly ineffective against Terry who just sees The Joker as a clown. The Joker doesn't take Terry's lack of respect well. Ironically, the villain isn't entirely wrong when he furiously shouts that Terry isn't Batman; Terry is a completely different type of Batman at least.

Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker / int_5663a595	comment	Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole: A necessity given the edited version. If you compare both versions, few more plotholes come up thanks to Joker's death being greatly toned down to please the censors. This also happened when some items didn't translate from script to storyboard: The script had Joker holding a Jolly Jacks jar while taunting Terry close to the climax. This was how Terry knew how to go to the abandoned factory, as the director's commentary noted with a Lampshade Hanging. Unless you see that Joker's escape vehicle at the Wayne gala had the Jolly Jacks logo, a viewer may be confused as to how Terry knew to look for it. If you see the logo, then one may ask why neither Terry nor Bruce followed up on that lead in the first place. Bruce Timm and Paul Dini themselves admit they don't know how that clue didn't end up in the final cut. Originally, Joker uses a knife to slash Batman's chest and stab his legs; Joker simply punches him down in the edited version. While you can see Joker holding the knife he pickpocketed from Batman in a Freeze-Frame Bonus, it seems unlikely that Joker would be able to surprise him with a "Hey, You!" Haymaker the way that Batman was holding him.Â Bruce was stabbed in the leg, and knocked down, meaning he couldn't go to comfort Tim until Joker let go of him. Even then, he was visibly staggering to his feet given how deep the knife was in his leg. His injuries are relatively lighter in the edited version — punched in the face and knocked down— making one question why Bruce didn't get up and try to help Tim fight against the Joker since their grappling was much longer than the gunshot.Â There is also the fact that despite the fact that Bruce was proud that Tim fought back against the brainwashing and grappled with the clown, as given by his Smile of Approval, their relationship apparently foundered anyway because Bruce still blamed himself for the Joker getting his hands on Tim and torturing him for three weeks. Tim himself says in both versions that he doesn't hold Bruce responsible for "the gory details", admitting he misses the "old man" and is happy to see him again while recuperating. In the original cut, it made more sense that Bruce didn't know how to handle the guilt because Tim was forced to kill the Joker to save Batman.

Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker / int_566f1565	comment	At first Tim understandably seems bitter that Bruce retired him, and how his hero career ended with torture, brainwashing and murder. 10-Minute Retirement, after all, is supposed to be a thing. He admits, however, that Bruce made the right call. After the trauma, Tim needed a new direction and focus because you can't exactly throw yourself back into a similar situation and expect to heal. At the end, it's made clear that he considers Bruce as a good father and missed him.

However, Terry refuses to let the Joker go and says it's not over until he takes the Joker in. Joker, still seeing Terry as a pretender to the Batman title and not a threat, merely laughs and knocks Terry around a bit, deciding to humor him with a fight. Terry locks the two of them inside the room and throws the Joker off his game by trading barbs and insults, which the original Batman never did. Once Joker has become blinded by rage and thinks he has Terry at his mercy, Terry takes one of Joker's own joybuzzers and electrocutes him, destroying the mind-control chip that allowed Joker to possess Tim Drake, thus not only only ending the Joker's threat (seemingly for good) but finally allowing the traumatized Tim a chance at some closure.

Corporate Executive Jordan Pryce, who would've been Paxton Powers' successor (and thus part of the Powers old guard), has never been mentioned or appeared until now. This too can be justified due to Paxton being the primary Wayne-Powers POV character after Season One (and the show's corporate intrigue storylines having been abandoned after Season One).

Most importantly, his quipping with the Jokerz establishes that he likes to trash talk his enemies (unlike the original Batman), which proves crucial in his climactic fight with the Joker.

Dini wrote in the Nana Harley scene in the epilogue in protest and naturally assumed Timm would order it excised from the final script. But Timm genuinely thought it was a funny scene (and also felt it was necessary to have a moment of levity and emotional release for the audience after the climax).

When Batman threatens to break him in two, the Joker points out, he would've done it a long time ago, if he had the guts for it. He then claims "I on the other hand" seemingly referring to his own enjoyment of murder, and pulls a knife while Batman keeps an eye on The Joker's other hand.

Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker / int_8d0785d5	comment	Didn't Think This Through: Bruce firing Terry and pushing him away after Joker seemingly returns. Bruce is terrified of Terry ending up like Tim Drake and is trying to protect him. The thing is, Joker's dialogue during the Wayne Enterprises attack heavily implies he knows Bruce's secret (which is later confirmed when Joker storms the Batcave). So if Joker knows, then it won't be hard for him to deduce Bruce's Personal Assistant must be the new Batman (if he hasn't already). That means Terry isn't out of danger yet and is at risk in his civilian identity (which is indeed what happens when the Jokerz come after him and Dana). If anything, forcing Terry to give back the Batsuit leaves him even more defenseless (and without it, Terry has to rely on his wits during the club fight). This can all be justified by Bruce's Joker-related PTSD and guilt (not to mention his long-established problems with basic communication and interpersonal relationships) overriding his objectivity and common sense. With the later revelations of "Epilogue" it can also retroactively be seen as Bruce being too terrified of his biological son suffering the same fate as his second adopted son.

Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker / int_9afa05c7	comment	Family-Unfriendly Death: The Joker is killed off fairly early in the story. There are actually two versions of the death scene. Originally, Robin shot the Joker with his gag gun; the Moral Guardians thought this was too violent, so the scene was reanimated to show the Joker getting wet and tangled up in wires, slipping, and accidentally electrocuting himself. The Scream Discretion Shot used winds up having the same, if not worse, impact as the unedited take, which was probably the writers' intent.

Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker / int_9d12bbc1	type	Foreshadowing
Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: Or rather "Backshadowing". Joker's "That's also how we did it in my day" and one half of Dee Dee almost dying the way her grandma supposedly died. Another part of "backshadowing": The background music that plays when Bruce demands that Terry return the Batsuit because it's dangerous for him to face the Joker (impostor or not), despite the fact that the Clown Prince of Crime died years ago is "Terry Relieved of Duty". When played again as a Dark Reprise near the end of "Arkham Mayhem", we now understand the reason: because the Joker Mind Raped Robin into divulging his secrets about Bruce Wayne as Batman, the Clown Prince of Crime tainted the Bat-Family with compromise and deception "in his last act of cruelty" that led to his demise at Robin's hands and to Barbara and Tim quitting the Bat-Family because of it. When Joker first publicly reappears, Terry notes he's pretty spry for a guy who should be in his mid-Eighties. He speculates if this could be due to Joker possibly being a clone, a robot, or having been placed in suspended animation. Bruce disregards and ignores Terry's brainstorming (since he already knows firsthand it can't be any of these theories because he watched Tim Drake shoot the Joker decades ago. However, it's eventually revealed that Terry was actually on the right track with the Cloning Theory. The new Joker is a clone (or at least after a fashion) thanks to the original Joker using Tim as a genetics experiment. The Dee Dee twins are revealed to be blonde when they attack Terry out of costume at the club. Makes sense, since they're the granddaughters of the similarly blonde Harley Quinn. Similarly, and speaking of Harley, she's curiously absent from the "Our Family Memories" footage during the flashback (or alternately, she's off-screen managing the camera). However, her absence turns out to be somewhat important, because Joker reveals that while he does now know Bruce's true identity, Bruce's secrets are his alone to know. This means Joker withheld the revelations from Tim's interrogation from Harley, which makes sense given Joker's long-established selfishness; of course he'd covet such a prize and hoard it for himself. But this also means that even if Harley did somehow survive her plunge into the pit and is still alive in the Present Day (which is eventually confirmed), being locked out of the loop ironically eliminates her as a potential suspect. After all, if Harley didn't know Bruce Wayne was Batman, then logically the new Joker likewise shouldn't know the secret either. Yet he somehow does, meaning Harley can't be involved or behind the new Joker. When Joker sent the satellite laser after the Batmobile and is laughing all the while, he stops and starts profusely sweating, making an excuse about needing to sit down before he busts a gut. Later, Tim sweats the same way before he transforms into the Joker again, most likely a warning indicator when one side gains control.

Also, in the uncut version, Bruce is practicing his batarang-throwing against replica statues of some of his old Rogues Gallery. When Bruce is comparing audio files to determine if the Joker that appeared at the party is the same as the one he fought, the first sample he examines is from a threat video Joker made back in the episode "Holiday Knights". In the original version of the flashback sequence, Batgirl questions her informants from the TNBA episode "The Ultimate Thrill". (cut from the bowdlerized version, presumably because they appear to be hookers.) The Joker's plot ultimately relies upon stolen microchips that brainwash his victims into both doing his bidding and overwriting their DNA with his own. Joker mentions that he stole the basis for this technology from various places over the years, with the first instance coming from the BTAS episode "Make 'Em Laugh", where he steals mind control chips from Mad Hatter.

Between this and the ensuing deception they had to employ to keep the secret of that fateful night, the Bat Family effectively collapsed (with Bruce pushing Tim away out of guilt and Barbara ultimately retiring as Batgirl and refocusing herself towards law enforcement rather than vigilantism).

Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker / int_bf110089	comment	In-universe, the characters Break Them by Talking offering deconstructions of their enemies. The Joker points out that, for all the fear he invokes being The Cowl, Batman is nothing more than a pathetic Manchild crying out for mommy and daddy after all those years. During their final fight, Terry hurls this insult right back at Joker by calling his clown-related gags lame. Tim Drake deconstructs the Kid Sidekick as a "Well Done, Son" Guy pathetically trying to please The Hero because I Just Want to Be You. When that doesn't happen, there comes the Fan Disillusionment: Terry admits that the Joker is a successful supervillain, but a pathetic comedian: he never made Batman laugh, nor corrupt or break him. He never was Affably Evil, just Faux Affably Evil. And after all, the natural enemy of a comedian is The Heckler. Harley Quinn deconstructs the Perky Female Minion into Cute and Psycho after helping the Joker torture Robin, showing us that she was just another criminal. Batgirl conveniently forgets that the only one of Joker's potential victims Harley defended in the series was Poison Ivy and Arkham Asylum's inmates. Harley was perfectly okay with the Joker torturing and killing Harvey Bullock, Charlie Collins, Sid the Squid, Carl Francis, Thomas Jackson, Batgirl's own father Commissioner Gordon, etc...: The Cowl is deconstructed because while Batman is completely devoted to his mission, the Bat-Family and Harley want to grow up, have families, and get much more out of life than playing the infinite Cycle of Revenge that will eventually leave Batman Lonely at the Top. The disturbing conclusion is that the only relationship that ultimately will ever last for Batman is the Foe Romance Subtext he has with the Joker. As we see at the page quote, The Joker was truly special for Batman; he's the only one fully willing to forever accept and embrace Batman's role as the Determinator. The Chessmaster is deconstructed when everyone of the grown-up Bat-Family distrusts the Batman for his manipulative tendencies. Kid Hero: Batgirl seems to think Even Evil Has Standards and Harley Wouldn't Hurt a Child. And Robin:

Terry isn't a wannabe pretender but the metaphorical prince to Bruce's King and true heir to the throne. It's even revealed later that Terry not only matches Bruce in his prime but surpassed him because unlike Bruce, he didn't have all the emotional baggage and had no problem being social with others. The Joker's final words in the uncut version, as seen in the flashback sequence, were: "That's not funny...That's not..." Terry throws the Joker's jokes right back at him. Once all the props are removed, the clown is nothing but a stupid manchild whose jokes are stale. Joker doesn't take Terry's disrespect lightly. This was done by Terry so he could deliberately rile Joker and fry the chip containing the clown's DNA with the joy buzzer to make sure he can never come back in any shape or form.

Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Word of God explicitly states the orbital satellite laser was inspired by AKIRA. One of Terry's wild guesses on how the Joker survived is that he was frozen in a block of ice for decades. The poster, seen as the page image above, features a giant green Joker head, closely mimicking one of the posters for The Man Who Laughs, the film which inspired the Joker. After Terry has saved Bruce's life, one Looney Tunes cartoon Ace is watching is the Bugs Bunny short "Hare Ribbin'", known for its controversial ending (which is also shown)note in which a Russian stereotype dog, in his "My God, What Have I Done?" moment, laments that he has apparently killed Bugs Bunny and that he himself should have been the one to die; his lamentation is also heard in the audio, but only in the uncut version. To Shakespeare: When Bonk gets angry at the Joker and calls him a fake, the Joker replies, "Ah, brave new world...that has such [putzes/yutzes] in it." This is a parody of a line spoken by Miranda in The Tempest: "O, wonder!/How many goodly creatures are there here!/How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world/That has such people in't" (V, i). According to Bruce Timm on the DVD Commentary, the Joker's red eyes and slicked-back hair that he has in the future were inspired by Hannibal Lecter. "End of the line, Snoopy." The Joker's transformation is a shout-out to at least one film version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: it's accomplished with subtle misdirection and a clever fade. The title of the film itself could be seen as a reference to Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi only with Mark Hamill returning as a villain instead of a hero. The Joker implants a genetic microchip onto Tim Drake that would later corrupt him without him noticing, similar to another hero who fought another mad villain. Sound familiar? note Of course, Hayato and Black Hayato are NOT backup bodies for Bilstein, but seperate personalites for each other

Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker / int_cda501da	comment	Killed Off for Real: In a subversion of the very trope named after him, The Joker got this treatment in this installment. He proved to be as much of a survivor in the DC Animated Universe as his comic book counterpart via being every bit the "no one" in No One Could Survive That! — but this installment took the big leap and put him down once and for all. It even did it twice! The first time, Joker is killed in Arkham Asylum note Shot in the Uncensored version, and electrocuted in the censored version and his body is buried within its walls. The second time, the chip containing a copy of his DNA and memories is burned out, just to make sure he can never come back. This is subverted with Harley Quinn. In the flashback, Harley falls into a deep pit after fighting with Batgirl. She does not show up again for the rest of the flashback, so you can assume—like Barbara did—that Harley died. But she did survive—and she had her family, too, as the Dee-Dees refer to her as "Nana Harley" and a guard calls her their grandmother.

To elaborate, he kidnapped then-Robin Tim Drake, tortured and Mind Raped him for three weeks, mutilated him, "fixed" him up as Joker Jr., implanted a microchip doctored with the Joker's DNA into his body, and invited Batman over to see his work in detail (which included a home video of the boy's torture labeled as "Our Family Memories"). He then reveals that he's learned Batman's Secret Identity, mocks him for it (and for not having the balls to kill him after all this), and knifes him before he tosses "J.J." a spear gun to finish him off with. To drive the point home, the Joker's actions are so monstrous that, despite having voiced him for nearly a decade by this point, Mark Hamill actually felt uncomfortable with voicing him this time around.

Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker / int_e83f211c	comment	O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Acknowledged in-story by Terry after the prologue robbery. This is the third such attempted heist in a month involving this particular Jokerz gang. Terry observes this is very weird behavior, as the Jokerz have little use for high-tech machinery. Bruce (mistakenly) concludes the Jokerz are probably just fencing the goods, pointing out that corporate espionage is big business. Bruce has a look of pure terror on his face when he sees the Joker make his public return at the Wayne Enterprises reception - not even Darkseid was ever able to make the OG Batman look as scared as he does in that moment. The flashback sequence is one of the very few times in the DCAU that Batman looks as if he is willing to kill; in particular, when he first sees what Joker has turned Tim into, he throws a knife at the clown's head. Joker genuinely loses his temper when he is taunted by Terry playing The Heckler. The Smug Snake Monster Clown faÃ§ade crumbles under Terry saying that Joker is just not funny.

This is also true...because it took years for the Joker's microchip to subtly influence Tim enough to gain enough control over his body.

Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker / int_ea3716ac	comment	Targeted to Hurt the Hero: The Joker deliberately targets those closest to Terry, including Bruce Wayne, his brother Matt and mother Mary and his girlfriend, Dana, who gets sent to the hospital after some members of the Jokerz gang attack her. When Joker gets a hold of a military satellite, he tells Terry that he has a choice of who he can save, as he is targeting Wayne Manor, the apartment building where he lives with his family, and the hospital Dana is in.

This was cut in the televised airings, because it could be considered an "imitable act". Terry pulls one on the Joker, the first sign that the Joker's drastically misjudged his new foe.

Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker / int_ec0ce986	comment	Spotting the Thread: Terry notes that Joker should be Bruce's age, in his 90s, but he looks "spry" given he was able to match the new Batman blow-for-blow. He floats some possibilities — clone, robot, suspended animation — but Bruce doesn't want to follow that line of thought because the Joker shouldn't be alive, and hinted he'll be going after Terry. Terry investigates both Tim Drake and Jordan Pryce rather than assume this Joker is a ghost risen; it turns out he was right that Joker is a "clone". The clown reveals that he implanted a microchip into Tim Drake's brain, to transform him unwillingly and unconsciously into the Joker.Â Â

In the edited version, Tim tosses the gun away and tackles the Joker, ultimately getting the villain dosed with water and entangled in wires. Slipping, Joker inadvertently grabs a lever connected to the wires in the process, electrocuting himself to death.

Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker / int_f06b07ff	comment	Locked Out of the Loop: This is sort-of inverted—the old Bat-Family has the Dark Secret rather than Terry himself, but they keep a lid on it for his sake because they believe he cannot handle the Joker. This approach backfires on all of them. Played straight, if downplayed, with Joker towards Harley in the flashback. Joker witheld the secrets he extracted from Tim from Harley — including the knowledge of Batman's true identity. While it's not explictly pointed out in the film, this means that even if Harley somehow survived her plunge into the pit, she can't be behind or involved with the new Joker (since he knows Bruce was Batman and Harley was left ignorant of the secret).
