Batman: Death in the Family - Jason Todd Faces The Joker | Super Scenes | DC 

I always loved the idea of Joker just becoming a normal dude without Batman in his life but then he instantly turns back into Joker the moment something Batman like reappers.

the scene when Joker figures out it's Jason, the way he slowly realized with the flashbacks, the slow turn, the smile, the score playing in the background, the way he says "Boy Wonder"... it's such a perfect scene.

I found it interesting that Joker was legitimately happy to see him once he realized it was a Robin. Like running into an old friend

“Without Batman, crime has no punchline.”

I love this voice for Joker, it’s dark, deep, yet can be very humorous in a twisted way.

As much as I adore Mark Hamill and he is the definitive Joker, I have to give props to John DiMaggio because his rendition of the iconic "Two guys in a lunatic Asylum" speech I felt was more powerful than Mark Hamill's in The Killing Joke movie.

Jason’s face of realization that it’s Joker is just an amazing buildup.

" Well next time I see em... I'll tell the big man you said, Hello." Love this line delivery.

2:22 joker smiling with a normal face is somehow even creepier

Honestly John Dimaggio is a solid replacement for Hamill. He still makes Joker feel "Whimsy" but the extra deepness let's you know he's still a serious threat.

John DiMaggio and Mark Hamill are the BEST Joker voices

I really like Jason in this scene. No monologuing, no hesitation, he doesn't try to reenact the night he died with Joker in his place, there's no cruelty or sadism. He just ends it, no more Joker. I'm not sure if calm or disciplined is the right word for him here, but this definitely seems like a version of Jason Todd that's made it out the other end of his trauma with his head on pretty straight. It's a kinda funny thing to say about a dude who just killed a guy with a butter knife, but honestly I'd argue that calling in an orbital strike on Joker's position with a laser pointer from a mile away should be a clear case of self defense.

I honestly think this one short scene might just be my favorite take on "Joker going sane." He has no reason to lie to Jason, given he didn't recognize the boy, so presumably he did indeed get a therapist, and is trying to "recover" from being the Joker. His grimace of "eventually" even seems to imply that he's not satisfied with the results; what he has is so deep, it's hard to get rid of. Madness isn't easy to shake. And we can most certainly see for ourselves that this is the same Joker we know, the way he still calls Batman "Bats," how he becomes more animated the more he tells his joke, and most fascinating to me, how he was willing to talk with a total stranger about Batman just because the news brought him up, as if to prove he knows Bats best, and showing he can't seem to get it out of his head no matter what he does. It's even more interesting that it doesn't seem like just *anything* Batman adjacent is enough to set him off. He doesn't go parading around in the ol' ringmaster suit when he sees a new Batman. It was Jason specifically that re-aroused his mania. Perhaps he saw Jason's return as the ultimate punchline to the last "joke" he ever told the """real""" Batman. Jason simply couldn't hold himself back from doing that. And how could he? Jason's unresolved spite must've been boiling, and he couldn't contain it upon finding out the cause of his misery was right beside him. After all, this movie wasn't a case study of Joker... it was a case study of Jason.

There’s actually a point to why he starts laughing, and it’s not the usual “He’s crazy”. With Batman gone, he stopped really caring. Batman was his reason for being, after all. But Boy Wonder? Not only alive and hardened, but willing to cross the one line the big guy never would? The one he’d been trying to make Batman cross forever? Truly ecstatic for the first time in a while. It proved his point that all it takes is one bad day.

I love this scene so much You have Mr j trying to go for a normal life then when he sees Robin his eyes widen and that scary smiles creeps across his face. Such a small scene but delivers so much tension and calm at the same time.

Like how Batman wrote word for word down of this joke

"Evil can't be cured, only Kill" Man I LOVE this Line

I've never seen any batman movies or anything, but this scene is amazing. The swelling music, the realization, the flashbacks that play all while Joker's voice speaks over the scene all plays together perfectly, not to mention how great the visuals and art style is.

Now if only they would let Jason do this to him in the comics, both me and Gotham could finally be at peace!

I swear the face changing on "boy wonder" just runs chills down my spine no matter now many times I see it

At least Joker had his last laugh 2:29

Something about the animation at 1:50 really reminds me of the Boondocks

I think he got a chance to do his voice again and wanted to make a point, since mark hamill is basically done with the role after Kevin Conroy passed, I’d love this guy as an alternative

2:19 That's literally the *CREEPIEST* Joker smile ever. Probably because it's coming from a "Normal" Joker.

Joker is laughing cause his death is the ultimate punchline. He tried to start over his life without Batman and in the end the bat still came for him. All you can do is laugh. Horrifying and amazing

“Without Batman, crime has no punchline.” This Joker is like Mark Hamill. After the death of Kevin Conroy (Batman), he changed and no longer voices him. I respect his choice, he is a true friend.

Such a great voice actor, John DiMaggio. He also voices Bender from Futurama and Jake the Dog from Adventure Time.

I hate how DC tried to reform Jason Todd by taking away his guns and giving him crowbars to use instead. They also messed up his classic biker look when they updated his costume.

Such a fantastic scene, Joe Dimaggio kills it as Joker - easily top 5 Joker performances, the callback to The Killing Joke is perfect, and Jason returning Joker's words back to him is even better. The music beginning slow, like the track behind two old friends catching up, and slowly getting more intense as Jason pieces it together is amazing. Joker is a shadow without Batman, half a man, he doesn't try against Nightwing because he isn't as tortured as Batman, his bad day was resolved, whilst Bruce's and Jason's aren't. Joker realises this and smiles again, knowing there's someone left to torment, but Jason isn't batman, and does what needs to be done. Absolute masterclass of a scene, never really liked the ending where Jason ends up in jail killing criminals, he wasn't as angsty, but whatever it's all fanservice and what ifs.

The look on Jason's face as he's putting the pieces together while Joker keeps talking.

Him realizing it’s Jason then smiling saying “boy wonder” gotta be one of the best takes of Joker for me💯. It really feels like that specific scene only works for that voice because I don’t think it would of been the same if it was Mark

I love that as Joker tells the rooftop story the more he sounds like his old self. It's great vocal direction or a great idea from DiMaggio.

I love the joke of "two guys in a lunatic Asylum" direct reference to The Killing Joke (Alan Moore's masterpiece) ❤👌

“I don’t know what it was that bent your life out of shape? But maybe… I’ve been there too.”

WE NEED THE INTERACTIVE VERSION ON DIGITAL.

Really liked that the instead the clown makeup, the makeup was of a regular person, meaning he was pretending to be normal and the insanity was his real persona all along.

Animated Series of DC are the Best. Literally nothing even remotely compares to them.

Geez it creeped me out, when Joker says boy wonder and starts smiling. Just when I thought the smile would end it just kept getting bigger and bigger

the piece at 1:00 is mozart A major piano concerto, movement 2: Adagio give the whole piece a listen, if you're a piano player give it a try. it's more accessible than you'd expect

This was the best alternate timeline scene in the whole thing imo. So well done.

Here's a Dark Knight Returns reference for ya. For laughs! Also, let's just say that's the diner from Young Justice because that diner is a multiversal constant.

Plot twist. The two inmates are batman and joker and Joker tells the joke in order to make batman remember and snap, and they are both in a shared psychosis imagining themselves as super hero and villain. The last page of the killing joke being the moment he does snap and strangles Joker before killing himself.

One of the most spectacular writing scenes in animated films tbh.

1:04 The moment Jason finished identifying him. The moment the Joker called Batman "Bats".

One thing that is scary to me is that Joker’s smile progressively gets wider and wider as he tells the joke from deadpan to extremely wide grin when he found out who he was talking to.

Is this the interactive Netflix version? I don't recall seeing this scene in the original movie.

01:20 Killer Joke citation!

I just now have noticed that this diner really looks like the diner from the opening scene in Arkham Knight

I like that Jason gets his revenge. What everyone seems to forget is that the Joker killed him, and only by random multiversal happenstance did Jason return to life. It's only fair to take the life of the person who ended his life.

Jason got the best story 🔥🔥🔥

The Killing Joke 🗿🤙🏻💀

Love how the normal face was the make up lol

A truly magnificent and greatly under appreciated preformance by John. His dark timber gives a delightfully stylish cadence that is different from Mark's (the gold standard), yet all the while evoking the musical qualities that makes for a captivating Joker. Bravo!

I can't stop watching this clip. It's not because I'm still all-up-on Batman [comics] from 'my' youth, but because this is a perfect scene in an animated movie, period. It's perfect. Perfectly blocked and acted, it's perfect for what it's conveying. The voice acting of the Joker is just enough of the beloved Mark Hamill when it needs to be, but when it doesn't, it's eerie. It's eerie because of the scene matches the voice, or the voice matches the scene, whatever, I can't stop watching this exchange of beloved characters.

John Dimaggio easily has the best monolog voice for Joker. Mark Hamil has the best laugh of a younger joker in his prime, but Dimaggio nails this old joker who's tired but still has that little spark of maniacal energy left

John DiMaggio voices an excellent Joker

It's like joker wanted to be taken out. He couldn't even keep it in.😂 The smile gave it away.

“You know this reminds me of a joke I told Bats once, wanna hear it?” Me: Oh! God! It’s him!

I did like this interactive movie because the decisions that revolve into Red Hood's arc fill everything.

Truly this was such a great scene. The voice acting, the narrative, the music. All of it is incredible. Pure cinema.

goosebumps every time

In love with this scene

R.I.P. Kevin Conroy

2:28 this actually scared me for a bit becuase of the instant

0:20 that part already showed he was joker i mean who else calls him bats

I love the crescendo of the scene. It starts normally just like a normal bar chat, but the more Joker talks, the more his voice cracks and can be heard as the old Joker's, the more Jason realizes who he has in front of him. And again, the more Joker rises his voice the more Jason seems to remember, until the climax, where joker screams "what do you think I am, crazy!", and Jason understands everything... Then a small "stop" resembling the "peace before the storm", that Phrases, full of symbolism, that makes the joker remember too, and then Jason stabs Joker in the eye. Such an incredibly beautiful scene.

Really nice touch with the cream and the coffee ☕️

the musical crescendo when Joker figures out who Jason is fit's so well it's criminal!

I do like that the joker says the killing joke till this day it’s still one of my favourite Batman stories Also, it would be cooler if it was Mark Hamill

Thats for the crowbar

One thing marvel can’t do is make bangers like these movies

i just noticed now, as soon as he entered the place you can see ballet passing on the tv, thats why the ballet song lol

It may sound dark but i honestly think if Jason didnt assault the cops who suddenly burst in after this scene he would have gotten away with it, he just needed to say: that is the joker, he was doing his crazy smile and i saw him reaching for a knife! If he was taken to court i really dont see any person in their right mind finding him guilty, this is a homicidal maniac guilty of every form of sadism in the book who has murdered and mutilated thousands if not tens of thousands of people and behind tons of urban terrorist attacks.

I think this was Jason giving him a chance. Like he was telling him "I know who you are, this is your one chance to show remorse, to prove that you're actually rehabilitated". He smiled. Jason didn't kill him out of revenge, he prevented a threat from walking free.

The "it's just not the same joke without Batman here" line tells you before he even smiles that the Joker has not changed at all

you know its gotham when someone gets murdered in a public place and nobody even screams

We need more Joker without makeup, he's so much more terrifying

"Tell the big man I said 'hello' " is the last thing Joker told Robin right before he locked up the warehouse with the bomb, for those who didn't realize why he knew Jason was Robin. 😘😘

I really do love the interactive format of this movie. I don't think it'd work for most comic adaptations or movies in general, but imagine a What If:Star Wars where you can choose the alternative choices. Like Luke getting the Original ROTJ ending where he becomes Vader. It'd be sick

So...Batman was right? Putting the joker into a Psychiatrich institution was the right thing to do? THE MAN GOT A CHANCE TO BECOME NORMAL!

The hint you always gotta know if it's Joker is if he calls Batman as 'Bats' It's Joker's personal nickname for Batman, it was even done as a subtle hint in Batman: Arkham City. SPOILER: Clay Face disguises as Joker, and he never called Batman as 'Bats', it was always the official name. Even in Arkham Knight, the Joker infected call Batman as that.

I think he said the same joke to Batman and Bat actually laughed from it.

for those that don't understand the joke, both bruce and the joker are the "lunatic asylum patients" Bruce found a way to "escape" turning his trauma and suffering to something good, to be a hero. When Bruce genuinely tries to reach out to the Joker, to actually cure him and stop fighting, Joker tells Batman this joke to essentially say "No. I don't think I can be or want to be saved."

"It's just not the same without Batman here." "Well next time I see him, I'll tell the big man you said, 'Hello.'" ". . . Boy Wonder."

I find it absolutely crazy they locked Robin up, there's no way any actual jury would find him guilty of murdering the joker.

I like to think that the moment he called Batman "Bats" Jason knew it was the joker.

I like that Jason stabs him in the eye, which is the same way the Joker dies in _The Dark Knight Returns._

I like how it's reminiscent to the Joker getting a batarang in the eye in The Dark Knight Returns

Is it weird that i feel happy for joker. He always kinda wanted this the only difference is he wanted batman to kill him but he found this to be even funnier because todd is kind of a perfect middle man here to keep both parties to their principals without being devoid of meaning. And of course theres the overarching benefit that without batman and joker gotham isnt nearly as much of a villain farm as it used to be. Sure youve got gangs but without the challenge of the two local legends it will never be as big of a conflict. Eventually youd be left with something resembling gotham city imposters.

I need to watch this now

Why does the Joker's death at the hands of Jason in a café look so much cooler and more intense than the shameful death of Batman on a bench????

0:29 the cream/milk obviously foreshadows jokers white skin (true colors).

i wish this had been an actual movie and not that interactive garbage

That was one sharp table knife.

I like how his teeth somehow changes color when he wipes off the facepaint.

Did what Batman should have done years ago, what the system repeatedly failed to do. No jury would convict.

Jason looks like Mark Grayson (Invincible).

This is the best scene from the collection of scenes

Jason HAD to kill Joker, regardless of how sane he had become or how much he had reformed, but not because of what he had done in the past, no, but what Joker was about to do. Imagine you’re Joker. The man you had been playing games with and getting a good laugh out of for the better part of a decade has now died, and there’s no longer any fun to it all. You see no point in continuing the game and put your hat up, go sane. You spend your days reminiscing about the good old days, longing for how things used to be, and cynical of the way they are now. Only, one of those days, someone humors you, and eventually you find that that someone is the former protege of the man who died. And you know him too. You’ve hurt him before. And you know that unlike the man who’s taken the formerly dead’s place, this one isn’t as nice or idealistic. He’s someone to toy with. Someone who can truly replace that dead man’s place in your heart. So what else could Joker do but smile? For he found someone new to play with. Something to bring back the joy and fun in his life. Unfortunately for Joker, he didn’t account for how much hate Jason had for him. But even still, he can’t help but laugh. Because though the game was short lived, he won.

Can't wait for his intro in young justice S5
