The scene takes place in a yellow-skied post-apocalyptic world with Batman, Cyborg, Deathstroke, the Flash and Mera. After Batman and Mera clash, Mera questions whether Batman has ever loved anyone, and the Joker pipes up.
He’s only on screen for a few minutes but manages to do plenty of manic laughter, cheerfully reference murders he’s committed, give Mera a few goofy nicknames, reference a very specific sex act and do some excellently eerie cross-eyed staring.
To leave very little to the imagination, here are some Joker quotes from his action-packed scene:
“How many dead eyes can you look into before you die inside yourself?”
“Bruce? Kill me? You won’t kill me. I’m your best friend. Besides, who’s gonna give you a reach-around?”
“I often wonder, in how many alternate timelines do you destroy the world because frankly you don’t have the cojones to die yourself?”
While Bruce offers this cheerful ditty: “When I held Harley Quinn and she was bleeding and dying, she begged me with her last breath that when I killed you, and make no mistake, I will fucking kill you, that I’d do it slow. I’m gonna honour that promise.”
